One man there was particularly kind to me, and constantly I stayed up with me all night, giving me eucalyptus to inhale, and continuously i rubbing it into my chest, throat and stomach. The man said he didn't thini I'd last long if I stayed at Emu Plains, and advised me to go into a hospital. Feeling that the was like a true prophet, J followed his advice, came to Sydney, and took up my abode at 485 Ken* -street, where lam still living, On my arrival in Sydnej I suffered from great pains in the back and sides, and also under the ribs. I could take no solid food, and entirely subsisted egga and new milk. I went to consult a doctor whose rooms I could have reached under ordinary circumstances in tec minutes, but was so horribly weak that il took me an hour and ten minutes to gel there He told me to strip," which I did, and he then sounded me and asked me how long I bad been bad. I told him thai from the first it was abou eight weeks, upon whioh he said, "its chronic." He suggested that 1 should go to a hospital at once, but I declined and returned home. 1 had medicine prescribed for me of various kinds, which proved quite ineffectual and afforded me no relief whatever. I took no less than seven bottles of eucalyptus, and even chlorodyne was prescribed for me. 1 fell away lamentably, perspired profusely, and could not obtain any s.eep. I was in suoh pain that I could not shift in bed. My right side was much the worse, and mj breathing was most labored and painful. Friends would call and stay with me for three ©r four hours at a time. One of them read to me the account of Boilermaker Jarvis's wonderful recovery by taking Dr Williams' Pink Pills, and I at once procured a box. I had taken all but two, when the b'ood-spitting and emission ceased. After two boxes I was able to get up and walk about, and now, at the end of six boxes, the cure was almost complete. The cmv was MAGICAL and I tell all my friends and the general public that nothing but Dr Williams' Pink Pills brought me before them to advocate the temperance question, and on each occasion I have met with a great reception. [Mr Terry here called our reparter's attention to the amount of useless physic he had consumed, and, indeed, the amount of bottles reminded one of the interior of a chemist's shop.] I can speak in the highest possible terms of the marvellous curative properties of the Pink Pills. On my visits to, and lectures in the country, I shall consider it my duty to suffering humanity to recount my astounding cure, and I trust I may be the means of saving the life of many a despairing mortal.
