A Terrible Struggle.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE OF A NEUTRAL BAY YOUNG LADY. The intemtiag story of Miss Mashford's Barrow escape from death ted subsequent recovery have caused so much exoitement in the Neutral and Motsman's Bay district that a reporter was despatched to interview the young lady at her home at Woodville, Neutral Bay. Instead of finding a pale and wan looking invalid, straggling to overcome the debilitating effects of a long and trying illness, he found in Miss Mashford a sprightly girl in robust health and ! good spirits, who readily offered to give any information Bhe could regarding her recent recovery and the particulars of how her life was saved. The following is Miss Mashford's story :— "I shall be 21 next birthday, and I have never been really strong in all my life, but it was towards the beginning of last year (1696) that I began to feel very muoh worse than I had ever felt before. My nervous Ijstem seemed shattered, a feeling of languor would at times quite overcome me, •nd last bat not least I Buffered agonising pa ; ns from neuralgia. I began to droop asd 101 l about, couldn't work, didn't eat, and had no inclination to do anything. I eertaißly was a good friend to chemists, for I spent a lot of money in tonics, none Of which did me any good, and it was a •hear waste of money. My parents sent me away for a change of air, being dreadfully upset about me, but I returned but little better. Anamia or bloodlessness was what I was suffering from. In my despair I was ready to try anything when chance threw in my way a pamphlet relating to Dr Williams' Pink Fills for Pale People, which had been left at our house by a distributor. Beading in it of a case which described something exaotly like what I was suffering from and in which a permanent oo c had been effected, Z determined to try them, which I did, and you see what I am like now." " You do not look at all like an invalid sow, M»s Mashford." " No, indeed, nor do I feel like one. I aannot say that I have tried no other medioine, for I imagine I have tried every other, but with no benefit whatever. X certainly took no other medicine at the time 1 was taking Dr Williams' Pink Pills,

for the instructions on the wrapper advised me not to." " You can then trulj sty, Miss Maahford, that your recovery is solely attributable to Dr Williams' Pink Pills?" «I can, iadeed. I shall always fully believe in them, knowing what they have done for myself, and I shall also recommend them to all my friends and acquaintanoes." Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are not a patent medicine, but are a thoroughly soientiflo preparation, the result of years of o&refnl study on the part of an eminent Edinburgh University physician, and they were successfully used by him in his every day praotice for years before being offered for general sale. They positively cure Bhenmatism, Sciatica, Lumbago, and Neuralgia, and Influenza's after effects, and are a speoifio for all diseases of women, auoh as anamia, poor and watery blood, female irregularities, nervous headache and hysteria. They are not a purgative medioine, but braoe up and permanently strengthen the whole system. Dr Williams' Pink Pills are obtained from all leading chemists, or from the Dr Williams' Medioine Company, Wellington, N.Z., who will forward (post paid) on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for Bs, or half dozen for 16s 9d. The famous Tiotory Sewing Maohine is the latest and most perfeot of Sewing Machines. It is adapted for household and work-room use, and is capable ot performing the most artistio fanoy-work. The prices vary from six guineas, and any of the maohines can be purchased on the easiest of time payments from the New Zealand Clothing Factory, the local agency.
