SKIN SORES.
3. W. Shellard, Gisborne, Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. For seven years J. W. Shellard suffered untold agony from Eczema in its worst form. At times it nearly drove him mad. Little by little it wore down his wnole health. No expense was spared in trying to check the disease. The best doctors were consulted, and the most famous remedies were tried. A small fortune was spent, but all in vain. The disease spread, and Mr Shellard’s health sa.”k lower and lower. He was one mass of itching, burning sores, from his ankles to his head. His state was really pitiable when he began to take Hr. ‘Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. Almost from the first box he improved. To-day he stands thoroughly cured. At first he could hardly believe that he was cured for good, but it is now several years since he has had the slightest sign of Eczema. So there is no doubt about it. He calls his recovery a miracle; and certainly it proves, beyond all doubt, the marvellous power of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills to drive festering poison out of the blood. Mr Shellard, who is the honest old verger of the Church of England, Gisborne, is also well known in Hokitika, Lyttelton, and Christchurch. The facts of his case arc familiar to everyone, especially t he ck arch people of Gisborne, among whom he has lived for the past twenty years, respected by ail. Itching, Burning, Oozing Sores. “Though X am past GO,” said Mr Shellard, “ 1 honestly feel as bright and healthy as many men twenty years younger, thanks entirely to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. They cured me of the worst form of Eczema the doctors here had ever seen. I was literally covered from head to foot with sores that itched and burned and nearly drove me mad. Often I wanted to tear the flesh off my bones. Every week I could feel a fresh lot of small, hard pimples pushing their way up through the skin. Then the skin would erack, and the sores would itch and ooz.e until X was almost crazy. For seven long weeks I could not do a stroke of work. Tried Every Remedy in Vain. “I tried all, treatments, but nothing did me. any real good,” Mr,Shellard went on to say. “I have used no end of special soaps, ointments, liniments, and lotions. But, of. course, these things couldn't touch the cause of the trouble
in the blood. Even the best doctor* could not eure me, and the Nuhaka Hot Springs made me worse. I was a regular wreck. I could neither eat nor sleep well. Every year the disease spread. It even attacked my head. Wherever the disease appeared, my flesh became red and swollen. I grew thinner, weaker, and more helpless every week. Then a friend told me how Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills had cured another ease' of Eczema by driving the poison out of the blood. I made up my mind to give them a trial. A Wonderful Transformation. “After the first box I noticed an improvement,” continued the honest old verger. “First my appetite picked up. Thea after every box I began to gam in strength and weight. Soon the irritation from the Eczema began to go down. My skin lost its terrible burning, itching feeling; the pimples aisappe.tred, and left a clean, soft, smooth surface. J. could hardly believe that these little pills had rid me of my old trouble. It took sixteen boxes to cure me,” added Mr Shellard, “but I have not had a single case of Eczema since, so I am supe that Dr. Williams’ I’ink Pills cured me positively and permanently.” There eould be no greater proof about the power of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills as a blood medicine. The only possible way to cure Eczema is to sweep out ot the blood all the itching, festering poison that causes these sores. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills alone, can do that, because they actually make new blood. They do just that one tiling, but thev do it well. That is the simple scientific reason wiry they cure all blood diseases like anaemia, bad coniplexic-o, biliousness, indigestion, headaches, backache, lumbago, rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness, St. Vitus’ dance, loss of vitality, asthma, general weakness, irregularity, of the blood-supply, and the special ailments of growing girls and women. Remember Dr. Williams’ Pink Tills don’t act on the bowels. Neither do they bother you with mere symptoms. They will eure no disease that is not cured by bad blood. And, of course, you will not expect the slightest benefit if you let some shopkeeper palm off a substitute on you.
