America and Spain.

REVOLT OF THE CAROLINE

ISLANDERS

FEiOtFUL ATROCITIES REPORTED.

We clip the following from files just to hand: — The revolt against Spanish rule in the Caro'inas seems to be more Fen'nus than at first reported. Fearful atrocities are said to have already taken place amongst the natives themselres, some of whom declare for Spanish rale, whilst the majority remain insurgent. The war waged by human beings aga nst one another is undoubtedly bitter and calamitous, but the war which rheumatism waged upon Mr David Robertson, of Byron-stree*, Kew Victoria, was even more cruel and malignant. The unhappy sufferer— a gentltman over 80 years of age— battled on unsuccessfully for some time, and was about to give in altogether when Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People came to his aid, and after a sharp and severe engagement completely, routed the disease. Ihe history of. the teas 2 will prove of intense interest. Mr Robertson for 18 months suffered most virulently from rheumotism which appeared first in the right knee, next in the left hip, and then in the shoulders, wrists, hands, hnees, and leg. He was rendered entirely helpless. Every friend ' he had recommended different remedies in turn— sulphur, kerosene outwardly and inwardly, citric acid, marsh mallow fomentations, hot sea baths, several bottles of a hugely-advertised enre for rheumatism and other articles were all tii d without ihe slightest benefit accruing. Ultimately, Mr Kobcrlson came to the conclusion that h's ailment was incurable. A little 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 ; he had th n taken two boxes. He persevered wi h the remedy, and, little by little, his ailment gave him less and Iss trouble. He continued in this manner until he had taken about 10 or 11 boxes, the time occupied being from six to seven months. At this stage every trace of rheumatism had left him, and he was absolutely and perfectly cured m every paiticular. He is now quite dee 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 demonstrates the marvellous curative properties of this universal medicine under the most; adverse circumstances. If an old gentle- ' man of 80 years of age can be cured of rheumatism, what may not be effected in those cases in which ihe 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, looomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, and the tired feeling therefrom, the after-effects of influenza, fever, and severe colds, diseases depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, &c, is possessed by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions. 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. Sold by all chemists and by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington N.Z., who will forward (post paid) on receipt of stamp 3or post order, one box for three shillings, or half-a-dozen for sixteen and sixpence.
