He Went to the Rush.

A GOOD GOLDFIELDS YARN. ' Many a good yarn is told by miners -of the old digging days in Victoria when money was thrown about like water, and when scarcely a fortnight passed without some phenomenal find or rush being reported. Perhaps the best story of this class we have come across is one we clip from a contemporary (says a Victorian journal). The gentleman most interested, Mr 3. A. Francis, of 191 Heidleberg-road Clifton Hill, Victoria, went to the Mt. Brown rush early in 1882, and he has also prospected in Parker's United Jordons and on the Old Shamrock. Speaking of the journey, Mr Francis says : — " My trip to the interior resulted in my returning with little ipecip, and an attack of general debility, owing to insufficient food and bad water, which afterwards settled into what the medical officers of the Ballarat hospital (which I attended as an out-patient), pronounced a bad case of soiatica. "I was living then at Black Hill, and for some years suffered the most excruciating pains. At times the attack was most agonizing physically, and compelled me to assume the appearance of a bow. "Early in the current year," resumed Mr Francis, " I came to Melbourne, and took op my residence with my married daughter here at Clifton Hill. She suggested that, as I had tried all other remedies and doctors had failed to accomplish any good, I should give the Dr Pink Pills a trial. I obtained a box from a storekeeper in Prahran, and after the first day, although I had a severe attack on me, the improvement commenced. I kept at them constantly until I had taken three boxes. That was in March last, and sinoe then I have been entirely free from sciatica and general debility in any shape or form." " You believe your cure to be complete ?" " So complete that I am seriously thinkI ing of taking a run over to South Africa." "In similar cases you would recommend Dr Williams* Pink Pills as a remedy ?" " Most decidedly." The case of Mr Francis is one of many. Especially to old miners, and to all having out-door exercise, do we point this moral. They are genuine only with the full name, Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and are sold by all chemists and by the Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z , who will forward (post paid), on receipt of stamps or post order one box for 35., ov half-dozen for 16s. 6d. A remarkable efficacy in curing diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the blood or an impairment of the nervous system such as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St Vitus' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, and the tired feeling there* j from, the after-effects of la grippe, influenza, dengue fever, and severe colds, diseases depending on humors in tho blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc., is possessed by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which give a hea thy glow to pale and sallow complexions. They are a specific for the troubles pecular to the female system, and in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, over-work, and excesses of any nature. A trial of our remedy will convince the most sceptical.
