The Value of Advice.
" Tou can always get plenty of advice because it doesn't cost anything, »nd consequently isn't of any value." Thus say many cynical people with whom the world has not gone very well. But cynics frequently make mistakes in forgetting that exceptions prove the rule. The advice of one friend to another ii sometimes of inestimable value. Mr Tate, of Ithica Cottage, Iltawarra Road, Marrickville, has proved the truth of the remark. " I was suffering fearfully from influenza and its after-effects," he says. " A friend recommended me to take Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I did so, and am now completely cured. After thirty years' im- ! munity from trouble, influenza gripped me, and it gripped me pretty tight. Withont warning, I suddenly became ill. I always had a first-class appetite ; it left me altogether. Positively I could eat nothing at all. Heavy headaches attacked me, and they continued to increase in violence ; a spasm shot across my chest and an overpowering weight oppressed me there; I felt a sickening contraction of the skin and an ominous gathering of phlegmatic matter that choked free respiration ; my whole chest, once firm and sound, became sore, tender, and irritable; I found myself unable to sleep, whilst on top of all these strange and unaccountable sensations came a shaip and persistent cough that sucked up all my strength and siirrod the phlegm, but failed to move it. Dull, heavy, listless, faint, and aching, I went to work, aud got through soim-how. A friend recommended Dr Williams' Pink Pills, and I took them. After a few boxes had been taken I was, honestly, complete'y cured. I kept on taking them a little longer, just to make doubly sure, but there was no necessity. I was absolutely cured, felt tip-top, and had bade farewell to influenza and its ills. "Ye 3," he said, deliberatingly, "the marvel has been quicker than ever I had anticipated. Influenza, headache?, sleeplessness, want of appetite, listlessness, racking cough, chest pains, weakness, and phlegm all disappeared as if under a magician's wand. I was a3 right, as fresh, as healthy, and as high-spirited as I ever was in my life. "Of course," he said conscientiously, "Us only a fair thine that I should tell you this after the benefits I've received. My case may not have been as severe as some, but it certainly gave myself and family the greatest anxiety, as my cure gave them the greatest surprise and pleasure. I give you these particulars exactly as they occurred, without exagg ration and with tra'h in every detail. Nor do I wish them exaggerated. Indeed, there ia no necessity, the cure was a good one, and speak 3 for itself. More or better I cannot say." A remarkable effioacy in caring diseases arising from as impoverished condition of tb.9 blood or an impairmmt of the nervous system, euch bp lheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralyri.<, iocomotor ataxia, St. Vi ua' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, and the tired feeling therefrom, the after-effects of Ia grippe, influenza, dengue f«ver, and severe colds, diseases depending on humor? in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, <frc, is ?OBsesied by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for ale People, which give a healthy glow to pate and sallow complexions. 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 three shillings, or half-a-doz»n for sixteen and sixpence. A trial of our remedy will convince the most sceptical person of its true worth.
