A TASMANIAN MIRACLE. PARTIAL PARALYSIS AND WHOLE PROSTRATION ENTIRELY CURED.

DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS CREATE A SENSATION IN HO BAB T. (From the Hobart Clipper.') Henry Dixon Clarke, a naive of Hobart, Tasmania, tells a story of a cure effected by the use of the now famous Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which, in its marvellous details, proves the adage that truth is stranger than fiction. ; ( .- , ( Twelve years ago he fell from the scaffolding of. a 'building in course of erection in Collins street, Melbourne, and was taken to the hospital insensible. He recovered, and was sent home. The next morning he was to stiff to go to work, and resolved on resting awhile. The next day ho was worse, and in addition to feeling feverish and unwell, was seized with twitching pains in the back whenever he attempted to straighten himself. These increased in virulence, and were accompanied with intense pains in the head. He lot the use of his left arm, and partially that of his left leg, as well as feeling a numbness all down the side, extending from the shoulder to the region of the abdomen. Electricity was tried amongst other things, but without relief. So much was he insensible to outward agencies that he could bear, the application of the battery to his arm to any degree without fueling it. To use. bis own expression, ' You could jab a needle into my arm and I could not feel it.' He was given up as a hopeless paralytic by the medical fraternity of Melbourne after he had spent his last shilling in trying to get better. He then resolved on ooming over to Tasmania at the request of his relatives in the faint hope that the climate might perhaps give him relief. But years dragged on, and his sufferings were without end. ' I thought,' said he, ' frequently of COMMITTING SUICIDE, rather than continue go be a burden upon my friends, for my miserable plight was exceedingly depressing, as well as painful. I found relief in a sense of the word by sitting on the verandah in the sun ; but when I saw my friends go past to work, it only made me the more miserable, for I was always a very active man. There are not a few who remember the pale and wretched object I was, seated in the verandah of my mother's house in Macquarie street, and many can testify to the marvellous cure whioh took place. - I got hold of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and took four boxes of them. One morning I found I could life my arm quite easily. It all came on in the night, and then I began to feel better right off. In about a week from when the change set in, the pains had left me alcojrtither. and I cannot describe to you the relief I felt both in body and mind. A fortnight later, and I could walk about and eat well. I had another sensation then, wkich was new to me — the feeling of hope. Only tho*e who have passed an ordeal like mine can tel what that actually means.' ' What doctors did you have to attend you V

' I would tell you. but perhaps they wouldn't care to have their names mentioned in a case like mine, which they turned up as hopeless. But I spent; in all £170, and being 1 then a beggar, came home to die. Now there id no fear of my being reduced to beggary ay-tin, and as for dying, I'm not going 1 to throw a seven yet f'jr a long while, I can assure you. lam going to work next week round at the West Coast — a job a friend got for me — so you see what Dr. VVi'lidms' Pink Pills for Pale People have done for me. I say — ai.d I say io advisedly — and all who know me say so too, that it is the most marvellous thing: of the kind that is going 1 . You are welcome to make what use you like of this. I can tell you I am heartily thaikful for my recovery — mjre thaa I caa describe to
