Discovery at Woollahra. » — IMPOBTANT DISCLOSURES., A report having reached' us that a discovery bad been made at Woollahra which would prove oi great interest to the general publio, we at once despatched a reporter to the scene of interest to gather fail and reliable information. " We are indebted to Mr Edward Barsley, pianoforte tuner, of 19, Waverley-road, for the description supplied. This gentleman very courteously received our representative, and in reply to him, said :— " I have been resident in Australia for the greater part of my life, and have seen but little of my native heath, having come out here with my parents at a very early age. lam a pianoforte tuner by pro--1 feaaion, and am weft known throughout the I colony; this latter fact should add weight ! to my statements. " Now to deal with the subject of your visit. I have on and off for the last 15 years been a mar;yr to rheumatism, and. Indeed, have quite recently recovered from ft severe attack. My discovery is that Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are an unfailing remedy for this torturing disease, and to emphasise my oase I must tell you that each of my ailments— for I had more than one, as you will learn later — were soformidable as said to be incurable by the hospitals and doctors by whom I was treated. Towards the end of April last year I had a very bad attaok of rheumatism, and this was accompanied by a swelling in the groin, but without pain. A chemist gave me some liniment to rub on the affected part, but this brought temporary relief only. After this I went to work again for two or three days, but was soon compelled to give in, being unable to continue any longer. I then consulted a doctor." " Was his treatment successful ?" " No, he told me mine was an exceptional case, and he could give me but little assistance ; that I was suffering from a complex trouble— hip joint disease with locomotor ataxia. My eyesight was also failing ; this, he said, often accompanied cases of locomotor ataxia. 'An eminent oculist told me that it ww a case of optic atrophy."
