ANOTHER KIDNEY VICTIM CURED. Auckland Man owes Good Health, to Dr. "Williams 7 Pink Pills. In bed for a fortnight in great agony—Unable to work for two months. Thought he was never going to get better. “About three years ago I was laid up with a bad attack of kidney trouble,” said Mr Kenneth Edney, 56 Howe-street, Auckland. “The pain pretty well doubled me up. It was a sharp stabbing ache, and every time I stooped or got up suddenly it caught me; sometimes I thought my back was breaking. It was a shocking pain, and used to make the sweat roll down my face. For a fortnight I was in bed and in agony all the while. When I got up I was terribly weak —I never realised how weak I was until I got out of bed, for when I stood up I went down on the floor. For two mouths I was unable to go to work. When I did manage to get along to the works I was in agony all day. I had no appetite. Often and often I sat down to the table and had to get up without touching a thing. I got terribly low' spirited and depressed. My eyesight became affected. I got very shaky on it, and my hands trembled a good bit. In lifting up a cup of tea I often spilt some of it. The least little excitement used to start my heart thumping and nearly take my breath away. Often in the night the palpitation came on, and I had to sit up in bed to get my oiearb. I could not sleep well at night on account of it. It is a bit off to lie aw'ake at night and hear the church clocks striking the hour, and then perhaps drop off to sleep about live o ’clock when it was time to think of getting up. When I got up I felt more knocked out than when I went to bed. I began to look old, and stooped in a shocking manner when I walked. I can quite understand people putting an end to themselves when their health is bad. My skin itched with a hot prickly heat, and my face often flushed up, and then I got as cold as ice. Occasionally I had night sweats, and all the clothes were quite wet. and I had to have a towel to dry myself. I was real bad, and thought that I was booked ror an early journey from this world. Well, mother had been using Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for my sister, so seeing they cured kidney trouble I began taking them. For a month they did not seem to do me any good, but after that every dose put new life into me. I began to take a pleasure in my meals, and could eat more than I had for a long time. I could go to bed and drop off to sleep and wake up fresh in the morning. As I kept on taking them I grew stronger. Gradually the pains in my back eased up. It took twenty boxes of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills to cure me, but they did it properly. My health is simply grand now. I am always urging people to take the medicine that cured me. It gives me the greatest pleasure to make this statement.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills by making new blood strike straight at the cause of all blood diseases such as rheumatism, lumbago, backache, kidney trouble, liver complaint, indigestion, biliousness, debility, anaemia and spinal weakness. But, of course, you must be sure to get the genuine Dr. Williams’ Pink Fills for Pale People. They’re always in boxes — never in Lotties. Don’t be cheated with any substitute. You can always get the genuine from the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Wellington, 3/ a box, six boxes 16/6, postage paid. There are five hundred ways of curing a cold. Some of the drug store cures offer to do the job in one day. The most common remedies are quinine, aconite, calomel, whisky, Dover’s powders, and hot lemonade. These remedies, some of them at least, may be serviceable if judiciously used. If one keeps up good elimination from every source colds will seldom occur. This suggests something in the way of proper treatment. To “feed a cold’’ is ill-advised. In treating a cold, too, the vaso-motor system needs a good shaking up. Nothing does this better than the cold bath. If you have a patient who really can’t afford the luxury of a cold more than a day or so, here is the way to cure him: Keep him in a comfortable room where the temperature is Bettes still, if you can keep him in bed*.,!
