A Hospital Failure Cured.

AND

DOCTORS DUMBFOUNDED SPECIALISTS STUPEFIED.

The following case wafl treated in vain at one of Sydney's large hospitals, but was cured at last by Ds Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Mr John Burgess resides at 58 Ivy-Btreef, Darlington, and has been in business there for a number of years as a greengrocer, and is well known and respected by the inhabitants of that populous suburb. In conversation with oar reporter, he recently made the following interesting and •orprising statement: — " "I have been an invalid for over nine years, goffering from hip-joint disease and sciatica. The primary caqae of my great sufferings was being thrown out of a cab i whilst on my way to Botany, the accident j being due to the defective state of the tramway line. Falling on my side, I eeriously injured my hip. I became an inmate of Prinze Alfred Hospital for six months, and was at last discharged as incurable: Since then I have had no less than three different doctors, and they all pronounced the same opinion, namely, that ray case was hopeless ; in fact, the last doctor who attended me stated that he did not wi-h to visit me any longer, as it was simply taking money out of my pocket to put into bis, without being able to afford me the slightest relief. Sciatica *»a «et in with its attendant agonizitg pains, first in the hip and then appeared to shoot to tht fI»U of tht leg and t»'ftt» foot- " l b »*

no desire for food, sleep was a matter of sheer impassibility, and instead of getting better I grew gradually worse. I could not move without the aid of crutches, and at last I was forced to take to my bed. Aa a drowning man clutches at a straw, I then proceeded to try all sorts of patent medicines and specifics. I might as well have kept the money in my pccket, for none of them did me the slightest good. I feared I was a cripple for life, and hopeless' y bedridden. Relief, however, reaohed me at the eleventh hour, and in the moat unexpected manner. A lady, residing in this neighborhood, induced me to try Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I must Confesa I regarded her advice as a forlorn hope, but it was a fortunate and happy day when I commenced to take these pills, for from the first box I commenced to steadily improve. I must add that my long illness had seriously affeoed my business, for competition is bo keen in this neighborhood that unless I can drive my horse and cart around I lose my customers, as they will not come to my shop to purchase. After seven boxes of Pink Pills, I was able to get up ar.d dress, and alter the eighth box couJd go to market with my horse and cart, and afterwards serve my customers. This speaks for itself, and when a man can conscientiously state that this wonderful recovery is due entirely to the Pink Pills for Pale People of Dr. Williams', it should silence sceptios and induce other sufferers who endure the torments that I did to give this wonderlul preparation a fair and honest tri&l, as I can truly state it has succeeded in putting me on my legs again." . . . „ . . 11 Have we your permission to publish this statement of your illness and recovery, Mr Burgess?" 11 Yes ; you are quite at liberty to publish it, for I believe in giving credit to whom credit is due, with a fair field and no f * V ° r ' (Srgoed) JOHN BURGESS." Dr Williams' Pink Pills* have a remarkable efficacy in curing diseases arising from an impoverished oondition of the blood or an impairment of the nervOU3 system, such ftß rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, and the tired feeling arising therefrom, the aftereffects of la grippe, influenze, and severe coldi, diseases depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, Ac. Dr Williams Pink Pills givd a healthy glow to pale and sallow complcxipns, and are a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, and in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, and excesses of any nature. Dr Williams' Pink Pills are «old only in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark and wrapper (printed in red ink). They are never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer who offers substitutes in ihis form is trying to defraud, and should be avoided. See that each box is encircled by a blue warning label; and regard with distrust the man who wants to sell you something which he says is " just as good." He only wants a bigger profit. These pills are not a purgative. They are genuine only with the full name, Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and are sold' by all chemists and by Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, I N.Z., who will forward (post paid) one box for 3s, or half-dozen for 15s 9d. They are unrivalled as a tonic for bo!h sexes.
