£20,000,000 IN GOLD.
♦ PROSPECTOR'S GREAT DISOOVKKK. The published fact that the gold won from the Reefton Miiwe now amounts to £20,000,000 has drawn public attention to the discoverer of the Held—Mr James Kelly. In speaking of the grim times of Maori attacks and massacres, when no man's lite was safe except he had hie riflw by hie side, Mr Kelly tells a, vividl tale of his own, lite. "I have prospected through Victoria «*d Queensland, as well as in Maoriland," esad he. roughest times I ever bad wer* at Forbea.'.on the Lachlan River, inN.S.W., and tit Collingwood and Reefton here. 1 worked continually in water, even, in tne wovet of weather. Indeed, to tell the truth, none of my Collingwood or Reefton friend* would see me about to-day but for Dr. Wαliame' pink pilLs, for N.S.W. and New Zealand hardships had .so told upon me that an attack of rheumatism took me otf my feet. Terrific, gnawing pains crippled me. I could not even get about-, and work was quite beyond me. Nothing lessened ' the terrible, burning pains or loosened my drawn-up muscles. I didn't know at that time that rheumatism vr&a a. disease of the iblood and that it could be cured oniy through the blood. The agonies of cramp gripped me like a vice, and the rheumatism gave me no peace day or night. One day 1 read in either the 'Wellington Post' or the 'Christchurcb. Lyttelton Times' how. Dr. Williams , pink pills cured rheumatism, not by easing the pains for a short time, but by rooting tie rheumatic acid poison out cf I the blood for good. I cent for some of tne J pills; and was careful to get the kind made j for New Zealand—those put up in wooden boxes. 1 would have nothing to Co with ; pink pi'lla in glace bottles. Well. I g<* th« right N.Z. kind, and half a boxful eased the pains a little. Two more boxes freed me from every puin and ache, and made me a strong, active man again. You can imagine how surprised I was at th* quick cure—but. you see, these pilb strike rigW at the cause of the trouble in the blood. They're the most wonderful medicine 1 ever tried for keeping the blood right *»d building you up. I know plenty of Collingwood, Rwfton, Hokitika and Wellington people that they have cured." Dr. Williams' pink pills Miricli the blood and bra«" up the nerves. They actually make new blood —and this m-w- blood "sharpens it* appetite, supports the .spine, strengthen* the stomach, stimulates the liver, eoouwe the n«rvee, cleaneee the kidneys, brace* the muscke, brightens the energy*, W«> makes every part of your body strong, healthy, and active. Plenty of people vi all the district* of North and Soutn Islands, from Auckland to Otago, can teU how Dr. Williams' pink pills have cured them of indigestion, liver complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism, sciatica and paralyej* by building up the blood and bracing up the nerves. In Ibis way they cure ail btooa and nerve dieeases like anemia, palen*#s, eczema, ery«ipela#, pimpke, boils, scrofula, debility, backaches, kidney die*ae|, and the secret tortures that women often endure in silence because they do not know the priceless voW to women of tne »ajn« pills that cured the crippling rheumatism of Mr James Kelly, of (Jollingwwod, tne Reefton pioneer. Since the above ivns written, the Goldfields and Mines Committee have recommended that Mr Kelly be paid a sum eacn year for his diecovery in connection with th« Reefton goldffelds. __ 2
