The Search for Gold.

« , — DANGERS AND DISASTERS ATTENDING IT. Gold may be delved .for and discovered, bat it avails little if health, the vital principal of bliss, in lost. Numbers are now taking their departure for (be Alaska go'.d-mines in the hope of building up a fortune. Those so contemplating would do well to note the remarks of an ex pertenced digger, who, after years of suffering from troubles incidental to a miner's life, obtained permanent relief bj taking Dr. Willians' Pink Pills for Pale People. . "I shall be pleased to let everyone know what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for me," said Mr George Browen of Gippss treat, Surry Hills, Sydney, to a reporter of the Leichbardt Standard, "I have found then to be a wonderful medicine. I've worked on various diggings at different timep. One day I caught what seemed like an ordinary cold; but at the end of a fortnight I foutd myself so ill that I lia* to stop workiog. I was working at the time at Forbes, and wa9 said to ba suffering from what is yery often calUd ' Forbes fever, 1 but what is more generally known as low fever. These are some of tha symptoms that I had: Small sharp shooting pains in pack and joint?, a feel ing, of great weariness, although I was dong nothing, very uncertain and small appetite, a queer inky taste in the mouth, and a thirst which never entirely left me. It didn't matter how much water or tea I drank, I couldn't satisfy my thirst, and although I felt very heavy and droway I could not sleep. That is, after I went to bed, I would fall asleep for ha'f-an-hour or so only, to wake again suddenly, and lie tossing about till perhaps near morning. However. I managed to get to S9e a doctor, and he told me I was suffering from low fever and ague, and he dosed me pretty heavily with quinine, the very drug I had been taking all the time. Ha also suggested that I should move to some healhier locality, I did what he advised, And went to Blayney; but instead of getting better I got worse, and at last I was only able to walk about with a stick like an old man or a cripple ; my bones began to show through my skip, and my face was wretchedly thin, and of a piokly pale colour. I went to another doctor, but his medicine did me no good. Some of their tonics would just give me relief for a time, but that soon died away and left me as bad as ever, I forgot to tell you that I frequent'y experienced . a terrible beating of the heart, together with a flushing of the face, and a queer, thick and dizzy feeling in the head. I had physio from five or six doctors altogether, but none of it had any permanent effect, and when I saw a letter in the Sunday Times about Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, I hardly tlv ught it was worth while trying them. I had used so many different kinds of medicine without effect that I had determined I'd was'e no more money in this way. Well, a friend overpersuaded mo, as lhey say, and I gave these pills a chance, and decided to go into hospital if they did me no good. I suppose I had been taking them for two or three days, when one morning I woke up and found that I'd been asleep all the night. I felt quite refreshed, aud a trifle hungry, too. From that moment I began to mend. I took the pills regularly, and they helped me along finely, my appetite returning in full force, my cheeks began to fil out again, and to get their proper color. In about two months I was ab.e to start work again, and shor ly after was completely cured. Sinco then I have come to Sydney, and am now working at a lumber shop in Johnstone's Bay, and I never feel any effects from my long spell of illness. "I am quite sure that Di- Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have put me on my legs again, and I shall always swear by thorn. " I authorize the Dr Williams' Medicine Co. t j publish my testimonial, wherever, and whenever, and in whatever manner they wish, and I shall be pleased to make a statutory declaration in verification of my testimonial, if desired by the said Company.

I The action of Dr William* 1 Fink Pills ; •' for Pale People ig directly on the blood, ! and thus it is that they are so famous for the care of anemia and rheumatism, weak , heart, scrofula, consumption, chronic erysipelas, and restore .pale and. tallow complexions to the glow of health.
