A Botany Bay Episode.

Botany Bay, the Bcene of bo many inter eating wings in the early history of the colonies has again come to the (ore with a ssnsfttion. The heroine of the same is Miss G. Harris, who it appears has been Buffering for a long time with a complication of ailments, the result of a cold. To a reporter seat to get particulars Miss Harris said : "Until within the last two or three yean I was always in the best of health, and I fear that what occasioned my illness was a cold I contracted in going from Parramatta to Ashfie'd. I commenced quite suddenly, as it seemed to me, to suffer from indigestion and constipation, which were my chief ailments. I had a pallid appearance, and invariably a tired, weary feeling, and also suffered horrible torments from racking headaches. I went to several doctors in Parramatta, hut none of them did me any good. I also consulted a specialist, with a like result. I then tried a large amount of homcepatbio medicine, but it appeared to be a sheer waste of money. I then went in for a much-vaunted and largely-advertised liquid specific, which bad not the slightest effect upon me; in fact, I threw the greater portion of it away in disgust. "I was now positively wasting away, and feared I was gpiflg oif into a galloping

" 6n§ afternoon, towards the Ugianlng of January of thia'year (1897), on ganotng through the columns of the 'Evening News' an advertisement headed ' DrWillams' Pink Pills for Pa'e People ' caught my eye, and I read through it with interest, as I recognised that in two or three ac- } counts of where cur s lad be n effected I the cases were a' most identical with my own. Anyhow, I determined to get some 3 as a forlorn hope, with what resu ts I will I tell you." j " Did you experience any benefits after , the first box, Miss Harris?" ' "I can hardly say I did, bat something 1 induced me to go on with them, and I ; thought, at any rate, I ought to give them . a fair trial. After the second box I felt r decidedly better, ' so naturally I went on . with them. My appetite improved wonder- ' fully. My mother will tell you that prior ' to taking the Pink Pills I did not eat '. enough to keep a baby alive, and it dis- , tie-aed her beyond measure to see my poor appetite. It pained me so much to swal- | low that I could on'y exist on slops, milk and arrowroot being my chief nutriment." " You, of course, continued with the Pills all the time, Miss Harris? " Oh, certainly ; for I was feelibg better 1 day by day, and I might say, without exaggeration in the slightest, after each dose." " Tou certainly do not look like an invalid now, Miss Harris." "I do not feel like one either. All this good has been effected by that simple > remedy, ;« Dr Williams' Pink Pills,' which ; I think no household should be without. 1 , have already persuaded many' of my friends to purchase them ; it has been an easy task, for they see how well I am looking, 1 and how different 1 am in health and , spirits, and I suppose they think that the , proof of the pudding lies in the eating. . Of course, I tell them all that it is Dr ' Williams' Pink Pills, and they alone, that have made me feel as I do, and look a3 I am." At this stage Mrs Harris interposed : "It is certainly quite true, all that my daughter has stated. She is ever so much better, and looks like herself once more. I | cannot say too much in praise of the marvellous medicine that has restored her to health and sirength. The gratifying results following the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills iv the case of Miss Harris prove that they are unequalled as a blood purifier and nerve ionic. In the 1 case of young girls who are pale or sallow, listless, troublrd with a palpitation or fluttering of the heart, weak an easily tired, no time should be lost in taking a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which will speedily enrich the blood and bring a rosy glow of health to the cheeks. They are a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities, and all forms of weakness. These Pills are genuine only with the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and are sold by chemists and by Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N Z., who will' forward (post paid) on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for 3s, or six for 158 9d. They invigorate the system after overwook, worry and indiscretions of living.
