A Peculiar Declaration.

4 — ODD OATH OP AN HOTEL MAN. Mf Sydney Woodville, now employed a* Yeoman's Agricultural Hotel, Haymarket, Sydney, to a reporter from the Sydney Worker said : " I shall be pleased to give you an account of my cure by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I hope you will print it, as I believe there mußt be many people .suffering in the way that I did, and who might be easily cured if they would only try the. proper remedy. It was last summer (hat I was itaken ill whilst workiog for a well-known storekeeper at Rockhampton. It's a trying climate up there, and I overtaxed my strength. Very gradually I began to lose my health. Work that I used to find quite easy I could now only do with difficulty, and often I had to take a spell of five or ten minutes right in the middle of a job. My appetite, too, was very uncertain ; sometimes I oould't look at a meal, and the sight of food made me feel quite ill. "What I did eat did me no good, and consequently .« I got thinner and weaker daily. I still itrngglcd on, however hoping every day that I should get a turn for the better; bnt at last I was positively not strong. enough to do the easiest work, so I took a ■pell. Meanwhile, I got some rather ■trange symptoms which alarmed me. My hair began to fall out, and I grew so irritable that I couldn't bear the slightest sound. I conldn't sleep at nights except in fits and starts, and my memory began to fail mo. I lost altogether 16 pounds in weight, which is a good deal to lose in two months' time. It was a regular case ci collapse, and I went to a chemist at Rockhampton, who had a good look, and, I can tell you, I waß not a very pretty sight being by this time very thin and yellow. He said I think you better try Dr Williarrs' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I am thankful to cay I took his advxe, for I commenced to slowly improve shortly after taking the pills, and was very soon able to work again. I soon picked up my lost flesh, and in two moaths' time from first itarting the pilte was quite well. I know as a posisive fact that two ladies, who were rather sick'y, hearing of my cure tried the pills wiih a splendid result. I •hall be pleased at any time to give any one further particulars as to my care, which I put down entirely to Dr Williams' Ptafc Pills for Pale People, and I only wish I had tried them before, as I believe if I'd taken them in time I should never have broken down at all. I cou'd now, if required, undertake sixteen hour'i work a day. In order to place my cure beyond doubt, I have made a statutory declaration, which you wi'l find attached to this." j
