• The War. «. FIERCE FIGHTING IN SPAIN. AN AMERICAN OFFICER'S PROMPT ACTION SAVES MAN V LIVES. It is greatly to be regretted that the Spaniards should have allowed their sense 3 to become subservient to their anger- That such is the case is borne out by the cables notifying that several cities have been placed under martial law. " A Kingdom divided against itself cannot stand," much less conquer its opponents. Particulare of the prompt aolion of United States Officer, Colonel P. A. Hoffman, which resulted in the saving of life, are just to hand. It appears that Colonel Hoffman, who now carries two bullets in his body, and had prior to the present war seen a great deal of hard service, gave his advice to all sufferers from indigestion to take Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, to the use of which alone he attributed his general good health, and said he " they are a God send to all people, as they build ap the system and help digestion." This opinion was given by Colonel Hoffman immediately he had proved the value of Dr Williams' Pink Pills in his own case, and there is no doubt that his advice promptly given has resulted in the saving of many valuable lives. But for Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, Mr David Robertson, of Byronstreet, Eew, Victoria, could not at the ripe age of 80 years have successfully resisted the effects of an 18 months' war waged upon him by that dread enemy of peace and health— Rheumatism. He was attacked most virulently by rheumatism, first in the right knee, next in the left hip, and then in the shoulders, wrists, hands, knees, and lpgs. He was rendered entirely ' helpless. Every friend he had recommended diffierent remedies in turn — sulphur, kerosene. outwardly and inwardly, citric acid, marsh mallow fomenta- ( tions, hot sea baths, several bottles of a largely advertised^ cure for rheumatism, and other articles were all tried without i the slightest benefit accuring. Ultimately Mr Robertson came to the conclusion that his ailment was incurable. A litte while later, however, a friend induced him to try • Dr Williams' Pink Pills. He followed the directions carefully and patiently, and in about three weeks or a month after first taking them he noticed a considerable improvement in his condition ; ho had then taken two hoxes. He persevered with the remedy, and,, little by little, his ailment gave him less trouble. He continued in this manner until he had taken about 10 or 11 boxes, the time occupi' d being from six to seven months. \t this stage every trace of rheumatism had left him, and he was absolutely and perfectly cured in every particular. He is now quite free from pain. Mr Robertson, in conclusion, said he had recommended Dr Williams' Pink Pills to many of his friends, and they had received most beneficial results from their use. He was well known in the locality, and would certainly continue to recommend them. This case is one which amply demon- < 9trates the marvellous curative properties of this universal medicine under the most adverse circumstances. If an old gentleman of 80 years of age can ba cured of rheumatism, what may not be effected in those cases in which the sufferer is a much younger man or woman ? The answer is too obvious to need insertion. 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 therefrom, the after-effects of la grippe, influenza, dengue fever, and severe cods, diseases depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, &c, is possessed by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which gives a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexious. They are a specific for the troubles peculiar, 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. They are genuine only with the full name, Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and are sod 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 three shillings, or half-a-dozen for sixteen and sixpence. A trial of our remedy will convince the most sceptical person of its true worth. The new French Ministry which M. Brisson has formed and of which he appears to be the only man of any mark, are either Radicals or advanced Republicans. This Ministry may lead France into very great turmoil, if they last long enough, which is un'ikely as about six months is the average of the term of office.

" MAKING BOTH ENDS MEET," is rather a difficult task in life with many but the expense of good cooking is reduced to a minimum by using the SUN BAKING POWDER, purer and cheaper than most others. Give it a trial. YOU CAN'T Have a cake and eat it too, but you can have your meat and keep it in the warmest of weather by using " Salsaline," the great food preservative. Public Ha.ll, Poxtort.
