True Collision Tale.

(By Shipwright Joseph Page.)

“The story I am about to tell," said Mr Joseph Page, a sixty-year-old shipwright, in the employ of the Lyttelton Harbour Board, “is in all respects perfectly true, as you can easily verify. "It happened in this wise,” said the hardy old seaside worker, “ft is a long way back now that whilst, in a skiff one day I was run down by a steam tug, which bore down too quickly for me to get away. Mv little boat was smashed to pieces;' I received injuries to my back, and the shock to my constitution wj.b considerable. My nerves became completely unstrung, and I was laid up for nine months, i had no appetite, and my food did not strengthen me I was a victim to deranged nerves and general debility. Now previous to this accident I had suffered from biliousness and influenza’s after-ef-fects, but had been cured by Dr. Williams’ pink pills for pale people. 80 I now tried them, and the contents of one box improved me considerably. Three boxes made a much greater improvement, although on account of n ’y age I could naturally only expect a gradual return to health; but I continued to progress as I used Dr. Williams’ pink pills, and six more boxes completely cured me. Now, despite my age, I have an excellent appetite, I sleep well, and am quite strong and active.

“But wait till you hear what my wife has to say,” added Mr Page. Mrs Page, a kindly featured lady, then told of her husband’s cure by Dr. Williams’ pink pills just as he had spoken of it, and added: “I myself found these pills of the greatest benefit. After nursing my husband through his long illness my nerves became quite unstrung and my health run down. I was troubled with lassitude and was so weak that ordinary household duties were quite a task. But six boxes of Dr. Williams’ pink pills toned up my nerves, enriched my blood, and made me ever so much brighter and stronger than before. Since our cures by Dr. Williams’ pink pills neither of us can speak too highly of them.” Either sex of all ages will find in Dr. Williams’ pink pills a reliable, pleasant cure for many ills that afflict humanity. By their use the blood is enriched, the nerves toned up, the spine strengthened; by their beneficent influence the weak and sickly become strong, healthy, happy men and women. They have cured such ailments as rheumatism, sciatica, anaemia, debility, indigestion and biliousness, effects of influenza and fevers, bronchitis, and even consumption and paralysis; price three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, from chemists and storekeepers, and post free from the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Wellington, who will also r end a neatly printed pamphlet containing valuable information to all enquirer*.
