LITTLE ARTHUR SURMAN, OF BROKEN HILL,

Brought Back Almost from Verge of the Grave by DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. Wasting away before Ms parents' eyes; a pitiful case with a joyful ending. Dr -Williams" Pink FiUs brought little Arthur Surman. of Broken Hill, back almost from the verge of the grave. After he had inflammation of the lungs, a wastin" weakness set in. ana no one thought he would recover. "Soit he's as lively as a cricket.'" to use his mother's words, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills worked the miracle. The story of the cure was related by Mrs Surman, who lives in Bismuth-st. Sue said:—

"When we were living at Port Augusta, Arthur took inflammation of the lungs, and the doctor never thought that he would pull through/ , said Mrs F. Sui-man, Bls-muth-st., Broken Hill. "The poor little fellow was ouly three. For days he was clean off his head with the fever. After a hard fight, the doctor said the worst was over — bat it was weeks before the child was able to be out of bed. The cough stuck to him, and he was always bringing up a mouthful of nasty sticky phlegm, all streaked with blood. Every time he coughed it nearly tore his inside out. It wore him down tul he was weaker than a baby in arms. We tried to build him up — but for six long years he kept wasting away. By the time he was nipe, ho was just a puny little skeleton. Everyone told mc I would never rear him. The weakness after the fever was worse than the disease itself. For .weeks he lay there too helpless to move. The child wanted for nothing — but he wasted away before our very eyes. No matter what we gave him, it made him sick on the stomach. His head ached by the hour, and every week he got a bilious attack. He wouldn't take to his food at all. He used to hold his little sides by the hour. And every cough seemed to shake the very life out of him. It wasn't only one day that he had this to go through — but every day it was the same, and ali day long.

"Months went by, and there was no change for the better," added Mrs Surmati. "His cough got worse, and he grew thinner and thinner. If I took him for a short walk, his legs gave way, and I had to carry Mm home. For six years he kept fading away. At last, he was just a bag of skin and bone. Down in my heart I had given up all hope, and so had my husband, tie said to mc one night, 'Well, mother, we can't have our boy with us much longer. It will be his birthday to-morrow, and we might as well give the poor little chap a party. It will be the last treat he'll ever have.'

"That very week, when I was sweeping np the yard one day, I came across a little book telling about Dr. Williams" Pink Pills. They cured a little girl ove"r in New Zealand, so I sent to Mr Dryen, the grocer, in Wolfram-st. for some of these pills. I cut them in two, and gave him half a pill after each meal. At first. I thought they weren't going to do any good, and I was near leaving them pff. But Arthur began to take to his food again, and so I kept on. After the third bos. he was stronger on his legs, and his cougn wasn't naif so bad. From that on. he rained every day. He said his chest didn't hurt so much, and he brought up very litUe phlegm. By the time he had taken si* boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, he hadn't a sign of a cough. He was so well that I was able to send him to school. That's over eighteen months ago, but he has never been a day sick all that time. To-day he is as strong and healthy a lad as you'd meet in a day's march — and it's only Dr. Williams' Pink PMs we have to thank for that. They saved his life."
