A Fal mouth Celebrity.

. ... ' m SOME PERSONAL DETAILS. Mr Htßiy Elger, ol Prixne-atreet, Falmonth, hM become quite a local celebrity, and an account of him, in the " Falmouth Paoket," teems likely to spread his fame fir and wide. The story, ao far aa poslibie, may be given in Mr Elger'i own graphic words.. " One summer afternoon, in the gammer Ol 1888," said Mr Elger, "I made a hearty dinner, had 'forty winks,* and was preparing to go out for a stroll, when a strange sensation came over me .suddenly and I ' ajmmenoed to stagger. - I went to bed at com and called in a doctor,' who said I had bad a bad paralytic seizure. For nearly a ! fortnight 1 could' keep"no food in my sto-i maob. and was only kept alive by injections. I was paralysed and bedridden ior close on six months, and even when I got up could only just manage to drag myself along with the help of a stick, everybody saying that ' I wasn't long for ttiis world. If I looked miserable— and I know that I did-*-I certainly felt miserable, and all th.c more so because I could neither attend to my business nor even help my wife to sell fruit and - vegetables in the shtfp. For six years I was Hke that and 'tried all sorts of remedies, but without effeot. When I '•attempted to walk— and I could only go a little way— l staggered like a drunkard." . "Tea seem to have changed tor the bet* tor now," remarkedthe interviewer, "flow did this aome about?" "I'm coming to that," mi Mr Elger. . '• About two years ago I took an my copy of your paper, and .the, first thing that MUght my eye was an acpJunt.bf a case of ' paralysis cured by Dr Williama'- Pink Pills . lor Pale.People, As 1 said just now, I had tried almost 'everything, but I thought that > I would get some of these Pills. Well, air, . that one boz^nade.a difference in mej so I pneured more, anti after two- or three MUMS I commenced to feel more cheerful tad vigorous, and, copld walk about After 1 lUMMftfcen Bis boxes I gave up my Btick, ja*aow, thank God, I oan carry a heavy Toad, wallf ac far 'as you like, eat, drink, •ad Bleep well, and attend to my 'traded s '« Ton seels to be very Jtfbilant ove» it,

" So wou'd yon be if you had Rone through what I have. Look here, lam now sixty-two yearn old, and never felt better. Dr Williams' Pink Pills worked a miracle on me, and I feel it my duty to let everybody know it. I forgot to tell you another thins '• before I commenced to take Dr. Williams' Pills I nsed to suffer from dropsy, but all that has disappeared as well ; I firmly believe that if it had not been for the Pills I should be in my grave. "Dr Williams' Pills seem valuable for many complaints," continued Mr Eiger. " My wife had a running wound in her leg, due to impoverished blood, and a doctor failed to do her any good, and told her she must lie in bed. Welf, when I found that these Pills were doing me good, I got her to share mine. Before Bhe commenced to take them, her leg was blood-red with inflammation. Now all the inflammation has gone, and the wound closed up. We are both grateful to Dr Wil'iamsfor having invented the Pills, and think everybody ought to know of them." The chemist who supplied the Pills to Mr Blger was able to corroborate his luoid and intelligent statement, and said be wsb permanently cured. Dr Williams' Pink Pills are not like other medicines, and their effeots are permanent. Nothing else is so prompt in pulling up the system when, fgom some temporary depression or otherwise, tone is needed. They have cured more than fifty -five hundred cases of diseases arisirg from impoverished blood, such as ansmia, pale and sallow complexion, mueoular weakness,, depression of spirits, loss of appetite, palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath, pains in the back, nervous headache, loss of memory, early decay, all forms of female wpaknets, hysteria, paralysis, locomotor ataxy, rheumatism and sciatica, scrofula, riofrets, hipjoint diseases, chrortic erysipelas, consumption'of the bowels and lungs. The genuine pills are sold only in wooden boxes*, about two inches in length, in a pink wrapper with the full name, Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, printed in red. They are never sold in bulk, or ! from glass jars, and any dealer who offers substitutes in this form should be avoided. In case of doubt it is better to send direct to the Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., enclosing the price, 3s a box, or six boxes for 15s 9d. These pills are not a purgative, and they contain nothing that oould injure the most delicate.
