A Jockey's terrible Condition.

— , 4 . — A SERIES OF ACCIDENTS. It may be taken for granted that nothing is further from the mind of the jockey, when riding a close contested race, than the chances of an accident occuring. The frequency with which mishaps take place on the racecourse, however, serves to illuatrate the old saying, "Its the unexpected that generally happens." Mr T. H. Lampard, of 15 Fisher-?treet, Adelaide, who was an intense sufferer from indigestion and internal injuries, the results of accidents with horses, and who has been completely cured by Dr. Wiiliams' Pink Pills for Pale People, stated his case to a reporter as follows :— " I have been a sufferer for years with Chronic Indigestion, and internal injuries received accidentally from horses. When I was sixteen years of age a horse threw me heavily, which stunned me, and I lay unconscious for six hours. I was carried home to where I was then living at East Wellington, South Australia, and for days after was totally unable te move. I was again badly injured when riding the horse ' New Babylon,' on the old course at Adelaide. The year following, the horse 1 Saunterer,' which I owned and rode, foil with me at Nairne Races, and rolling on me, broke my left shoulder blade, fractured some of my ribs, and bruised me ali over, ao that my body went quite black. Nature could not stand all this knocking about. I began to feel a strange numbness in my limbs, this increased as time went on, until one part of my body went quite dead, and I could not feel anything whatever when a needle was pushed into that part. I had plenty of medical advice, and consulted no less than seven doctors. Some lelieved me for time, but others were not able to benefit me in the least. I afterwards got very bad and resolved to try the various patent medicines that I saw advertised, and I really think I tried almost everything ihat was recommended as a cm c for my complaints. Amongst other things I tried an Electrio Belt, but that was not of the s'ightest use, and I got so disgusted with it that I burnt it. I spent no end of money on various prf para' ions, and with the sole exception of Dr. Williams' Pink Pil s for Pale People, none of them benefited meat all About June last . I had a pamphlet from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. handed to me, and on reading it found a case something like ray own, so I resolved ot give Dr Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. I sent for half-a-dozen boxes, and commenced taking them at the beginning of August, and took three boxes before fetling any ben fit. However, from that time I felt a distinct improvement, until at last I was completely cured of complaints that had troubled me vpyy severe y for more than twenty years; but to make doubly sure, I have continued to take the Pil's right up to the present, I and most certai ly would not bo without them even if they cost a £1 a box. My cure is the more remarkable, bee use I was not able to take the Pills at all re- ! gnlarly, in fact everything was against the j Pills, for frequently I had on y very bad i water to drink, and was greatly exposed to ; changes from heat to cold, and the asual ' back country manner of living Before j taking Dr Wi'liams' Pills I was almost a I skeleton, and mv wight was only 8 st. 5 lb now I weigh 10 £t. 6 lb. I think at specks for itself. Lately my friends at Quoru j have remarked how wonderfully well I am looking, and I tell them it is Dr Williams' Pink Pills I have to thank for it. I know that many friends of mine have been taking the Pills after seeing the wonders they have worked in me. ' It might interest you to know that I have given away no lesß than a dozen and a half boxes of thrse Pil's." Congratulating Mr Lampard upon his return to good health our reporter witho drew. These pills are not like other medicine, and their effects are permanent. They act directly on the blood, and thus it is that they are so famous for the cure of anaemia and rheumatism, weak heart, scrofula, consumption, erysipelas, ; nd to restore pale and sal'ow complexions to the glow of heath. They are also a splendid nerve and spine tonic, and thus have cur^d many cases of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, neuralgia, St Vitus' dance, and nervous headache. They are sold by chemist?, and by Dr Williams Medicine Company, Welling- j ion N.Z., at 3s. a box, or six for 15s. 9d., j but are genuine only with fujl name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pill for Pale Peop'ol See that your chemist does not substitute something just as good when making your purchases. The just as good kind cost him less money, and he is looking out for his pocket, not your health.
