A " BROTHER'S PRIDE" EMIGRANT.

* That stout old vessel, " The Brother's I Pride," brought many a sturdy cmi- i errant from the old land to New j Zealand, and there are many pioneers here yet who can recount their voyage ; olit in that stout but (to us) quaint ; and historical vessel. Amongst these j early pioneers, Mr William Brooks, of \ Geraldton, South Canterbury, is still i hale and hearty, and was pleased to chat with a reporter who called on him at his home in Talbot Street. '*T v^.TßßE«faaa«WHHft ' The Bkotheb's Paide (Emigrant Ship.) 1 "Yes, it is over forty years ago," \ he said, reminiscing, " since I left my home in Cheshire and set sail for this colony in • The Brother's Pride,' where, after a long and somewhat monotonous voyage, I landed in Lyttelton. Since that time I have mostly lived in the . Canterbury district, and I am well ■ known in Christchurch. I was engaged . in agricultural pursuits for many years, often, working in swampy land, but felt no ill effects until four years ago, \ when, whilst gardening, I was seized , with an attack of sciatica. A sharp, \ needle-like pain came in my hip and ;- thigh. If I attempted to move, |the pain became tenfold —indeed, so intense was it that I had to lay up, and from that time until comparatively recently I was in a bad way. The treatments I tried proved almost use- '*. less, and it was not till I heard of the curative properties of Dr Williams' ] pink pills for pale people in cases of ! sciatica that I found relief. After taking them for a little time, the pain ■'' lessened slightly, and by further perseverance with them I became quite . cured. In addition to freeing me from y sciatica, they built up my blood and , nerves so well that I have never felt | better than I do now, and I eat more heartily and sleep more soundly than I ' have done for years. lam quite con- . fident that Dr Williams' pink pills," . said he in conclusion, " restored me ] to health, and I recommend sufferers ' to give them a trial." . The simple, straight-forward testi- -, mony of such sturdy colonists as Mr . B.rppks is the best possible kind of testimony that any medicine can print. Dr Williams' pink pUls have thousands | of such testimonials, given without fee : or hope ot reward — simply out of . gratitude for the cure. Dr Williams' pink pills are the compounded prescription of an eminent Edinburgh . University physician. They are the best blood builder, and nerve tonic , obtainable. There is abundant proof . that they have cured cases of rheuma- . tism, lumbago, neuralgia, bronchitis, • consumption, dyspepsia, St Vitus' dance, hysteria> ladies' ailments, loss , of nervous force, etc. If your chemist or storekeeper does not keep them, . write to the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, encjosing the price— , sixteen and six for six bonces (three shillings lor one).
