PRACTICAL PROOF OF RESTORED VITALITY.

(See Melbourne Age of 23rd September.) One of the bicycle-thieving fraternity hired a machine from Dave, and, of course, failed to return Hi A few days ago Kirk, who had been keeping a strong look-out spied his man, and without more ado made for him. His opponent, a powerful built fellow and of much heavier''weight than he resisted and blood flowed freely on both aides—but the victory was Kirk's. After a eeyere battle, he lifted the thief up bodily, niaced him in a C„*>. »nd took , him to the lock-up. Could greater aud more convincing evidence erf restored vitality ..P expected df _iveri? We venture to say j not. Dr Williams' Pidk Pills restored to j the sufferer the power he had lost. They cured him of his terrible injuries and sufferings, and enabled him to "do battle" victoriously with a bigger man than himself. Kirk iti able to trench a large garden, and daily walks two miles W Hi. plfcce of business, 471 Elizabeth-street, North. The renowned athlete never fails to give the whole credit or his recovery to that wonderful, remedy discovered by Dr Williams. The following articles, which appeared in the Melbourne papers' a yeftr ago, will illustrate thd terrible condition Dave Kirk was in after the accicJeht 2— Extract from the Melbourne Argils !*- --" Everyone has heard of Kirk, the crack racer, About a month ago he met with an accident whilst training, and has been in the Melbourne Hospital ever since. The medical authorities say that he will never ride again, as his -pine h_S been so badly hurt that he will likely be paralysed for life." Extract fromthe Herald :— "Dave Kirk, residing at the Coffee Palace, Victoriastreet, North Melbourne, sustained severe injuries this afternoon through falling from his bicycle while training on the track at the Scotch College ground. The tire of his bicycle burst, and Kirk was thrown violently to the ground. He was removed in a cab to the Melbourne Hospital." The latter extract appeared in the Herald on the afternoon of the accident, October 9,1896. The former appeared in the Argus about a month later, tne physicians and authorities had paced him ynder treatment, and discovered that his injuries had resulted in paralysis, spinal disease, and locomotor ataxia, and that he was entirely beyond their aid. His case was accordingly, by the physicians who examined him, pronounced incurable, and they told poor Kirk that he would never rise from his bed again. Dr Williams' Pink Pills have a remarkable efficacy in curing diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the blood or an impairment of the nervous system, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, nervous headache, nervous prostration and the tired feeling arising therefrom. They are genuine only with the full name, Dr Williams' Pink Pill for Pale People, and are sold in boxes encircling which is a blue warning label. The outside wrapper is of white paper, and is printed in red ink. Our repeated warnings may seem a trifle superflous in the eyes of the reading public, but they were never more needed than now, and tha frequency with which they appear is attributable to our desire to afford our customers every protection. Imitators are in every corner of Australasia, and many vendors are endeavoring to pass off a hurtful substitute, as it means a larger profit to them, and the public would do well to avoid them, or they would just as readily dispense impure drugs. Dr. Williams' Pink Pille are obtainable from all leading chemists, or from the Dr Williams' Medioine Co., Wellington, N.Z., who will forward, post paid, on receipt of stamps or post-order, one box for 35., or half a dozen
