A Sydney Washerwoman's Trials. ♦ HARDSHIPS MET Wim IN COLD WEATHER. HANDS IN HOT WATER, THEN IN COLD. GETTING HE\TED, THEN GOING OUT OF DOORS IN ALL SORTS OF WEATHER. COUGHS, COLDS. AND RHEUMATISM THE INEVITABLE RESULTS. la this inclement weather, when so many are suffering from colds, conghg and rheumatism, the story of Mrs Mary Brown, of 71 Simmons-street, Enmore, will be read with devouring interest. When our reporter called at this lady's residence, he found her busily engaged at thft wash tub, what she called doing a " day's washing." It was indeed difficult to believe by the amount of " elbow grease " she laid into her labours that this interesting personage had lately been informed by medical men that hers was a case which would probably develop into chronio rheumatism. " I have called, Mrs Brown," said oar reporter, "to ascertain the truth of the rumor that has reached us of your having recently suffered from a severe attack of rheumatism. "It is' quite true, but I am now happy lo relate that I feel as well as I ever did. I have been suffering on and off from rheumatism for the last five years, and the slightest change in the weather used to give me most awful twinges. It chiefly affected roy armp, and I can a?sure yog, sir, that it took me all my time to do my hair. As to lifting this tub, that was a matter of sheer impossibility. If it had aot been for some of my friends I could never have gotten through my honsehold duties. This complaint appeared to affect my entire sys'em, and as to the money I have spent in doctors' advice and co-called remedies, why it makes me positively disgusted to think of, I began to think that j if my sufferings continued life was not worth living. I remember one day, as I was sitting by (he fire and endeavouring to employ my mind by reading the ' Evening News,' that an advertisement caught my eye headed ' Dr Williams' Fink Pills for Palo People ' cures Rheumatism, Sciatica, Ac." Now, having wasted so much money already, I waa at first loth to try any more advertised medioineß, but I thought in for a penny in for a pound, so I invested in three boxes of this specific" "I hope you were careful to aßk for Dr Williams' Pink Pills ?" " I took particular notice to do that, for I had read of so many worthless imitations j that I was careful to ask for, and obtain, the genuine article. " "We think it highly probable, Mrs Brown, that before long, some of the compounders of these worthless imitations will be spending time in seclusion, with the accompanying eccentricities of diet, official garb, and escort." " And indeed it would only serve them right. Brown {my husband) laughed at me when I told him I was going in for a course of Dr Williams' Pink Pills, and said, ' Oh, you are going to chuck away some more money, are you ?" '' I said ' Yes I am," and right glad am I that I ran the risk of " chucking away some more money,' for I am happy to tell you that they have done me all the good in the world. Talk about the new woman, why I feel now a brand new woman, and my husband only this morning said to me • Well, old girl, if you were " off oolor " a few weeks ago you certainly look the "pink" of perfection now. I suppose it is your Pink Pills that have dune it.' And so it is. Not only have I lost my rheumatic pins, but my appetite has returned, and I can now enjoy my food. In fact my appetite is so good that Brown says I will eat him out of house and home." " How many boxes have you tak'en, Mrs Brown ?" " I have had seven boxes in all, and I have so rruch belief in them that I intend always to keep a box by me, an 1 1 shall recommend them to all my friends. You are quite fcVJiberty to publish tbi3 statement, as I believe in giving oredit to whom credit is due." * Our reporter then withdrew, and refleoted as he walLed slowly away that here at least was another case in which the many virtues of tbis marvellous preparation had been exhaustively and conclusively illustrated. i Dr Williams' Fink Pills are not like other medicines, and their effects are permanent. Nothing else is bo prompt in pulling up the system when, f r m some temporary depression or otherwise, tone is needed. They have cured more than fiftyfive hundred cases of diseases arising from impoverished blood, such as anemia, pale and sallow complexion, muscular weaknets, depression of spirits, loss of appetite, palpitation ef the heart, shortness of breath, pains in the back, nervous headache, loss of memory, early decay, all forms of female weakness, hysteria, para- , lysis, locomotor ataxy, rheumatism and sciatica, scrofula, rickets, hip joint diseases, chronio erysipelas, consumption of the bowels and lungs. The genuine pills are sold only in wooden boxes, about two inches in length, in a white wrapper with the ful 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 thi3 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, 33 a box, or six boxes for 15s 9d. These pills are not a purgative, and they contain nothing that could injure the most delicate. A STEAM WHISTLE Need not run full blast all the time to let you know that it is beard, and it is not necessary that we should be always advertising by noisy statements to buy " Salsaline," the great food preservative, for onoe tried always used, as it is the only reliable food preservative sold.
