Old and New World Wisdom-

Away in the dim mysterious years when th« vast torabg of the Pharoahs were aa yet unbuilded the wise men of the Eait wrote and spoke philosophies which live with us to-day, and there is nothing more poetic or true than the old Egyptian declaration, " The good deed shines out like a star." A deed which shines out like a star is reported from South Brisbane. It has been known for some time that a lady resident of South Brisbane was virtually puled back from the grave by the agency of Dr Williams' Pink Pills. The case was known to be remarkable, and a reporter was specially sent to investigate it. The lady's name is "Mra. Beeston, and her residence is "Off Boundary- street, neat Melbourne- street, South Brisbane." Mrs Beeston bears no trace of the terrible suffering whioh she for years endured. Her first serious illness followed on a cold contracted through getting wet, and that dreadful scourge rheumatic fever supervened.. In treating for the fever, the medioal man of the .family gave Mrs Beeston instructions to take large quantities of lemon juice. The doctor, a well-known and highly- esteemed physician, succeeded in relieving her from the fever, but her system was completely run down and her blood impoverished by the method of treatment. She was doing fairly well when another attack of rheumatic fever came on, and that also the doctor managed to beat off. "But I was left terribly weak," said Mrs Beeston ; "my teeth suffered through taking the juice of as many as six lemons a day, and when I was able to get about I felt fit for nothing." Mrs Beeston'a Bister, who was present at the interview, here interjected: "When I saw her ehe had her hair out off ; she was quite yellow, and looked as if she had just come out of a fever ward." Well, for a long time Mrs Beeston battled on, but she suffered greatly from general debility, which she could not manage to throw off, and the least household duty was a distressing task. At last she was advised to try Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and ehe gave practical proof of her wisdom by doing bo. And what was the result? Unqualified Buocess. She was not cured by a box ; it took thirteen to restore her to her old condition, but the improvement though gradual was sure, and a very stubborn oase had to be overcome. She i 3 now able to rejoice in her strength, and to go about her household duties and to take her place in the social life of the neighboihocd.^ A useful life has been restored to society ; a daughter, wife, and mother rescued from the threshold of an early grave, and given back to her family. Ab instancing Mrs Bceston's changed condition, it may mentioned that ehe went to a dentist to have two teeth extracted, and felt a little timid about taking gas, as before using Dtf Williams' Pink Pills her heart was very weak from the 1 effects of the rheumatic fever. The dentist, however, after the operation was able to inform Mrs Beeston that her heart was perfectly sound. "And I told him," ehe said to (he reporter, " that I had to thank Dr Williams' Pink Pills for that."

These pills are not like other medicines, and their effects are permanent. They act directly on the blood, and thus it is that they are bo famous for the cure of ansemia and rheumatism, weak heart, ecrofula, consumption, erysipelas, and to restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health. They are also a splendid nerve and spine tonic, and thus have cured many cases of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, neu<> ralgia, St Vitas' dance, and nervous headache. They are sold by chemists, and by Dr Williams Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., who will forwaid (post paid), on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for 3b., or half dozen for 159. 93., but are genuine only with full name, Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. See that your chemist does not substitute something just as good when making your purchases. The just as good kiud coat him less money, and he is looking out for hie pocket, not your health.
