ODD OATH OF AN HOTEL MAN.

Me. Sydney Woodville, now employed at Yeoman's Agricultural Hotel, Haymarket, Sydney, to a reporter from the Sydney Worker said : " I shall be pleased to give you an account of my cure by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I hope you will print it,' as I believe there must be many people suffering in the way that I did, and who might be easily cured if they would only try the proper remedy. It was last summer that I was taken ill whilst working for a well-known storekeeper at Rockhampton. It's a trying climate up there, and I overtaxed my strength. Very gradually I began to lose my health. Work that I used to find quite easy I could now only do with difficulty, and often I had to take a spell of five or ten minutes right in the middle of a job. My appetite, too, was very uncertain ; sometimes I couldn't look at a meal, and the sight of food made me feel quite ill. What I did eat did' me no good, and consequently 1 got thinner and weaker daily. I still struggled on, however, hoping every day that I should get a turn for the better ; but at last I was positively not strong enough to do the easiest work, so I took a spell. Meanwhile, I got "some rather strange symptoms which alarmed me. My hair began to fall out. and I grew so irritable that I couldn't bear the slightest sound. I couldn't sleep at nights except in fits and starts, and my memory began to fail me. I lost altogether lGlbs. in weight which is a good deal to lose in two months' time. It was a regular case of collapse, and I went to a chemist at Rockhampton, who had a good look at me. and, I can tell you, I was not a very pretty sight, being by this time very thin and yellow. He said I think you'd better try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I am thankful to say I took his advice, for I commenced to slowly improve shortly after taking the pills, and was very soon able to work again. I soon picked up my lost flesh, and in two month's time from first starting the pills was quite well. I know as a positive fact that two Indies, who were rather sickly, hearing of my cure, tried the pills with a splendid result. I shall be pleased at any time to give any one further particulars as to my cure, which I put down entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I only wish I had tried them before, as I believe if I'd taken them in time I should never have broken down at all. I could now, if required, undertake sixteen hours' work a day. In order to place my cure beyond doubt, I have made a statutory declaration, which you will find attached to this."
