Chat with a Compositor.

HIS EXPERIENCES OP LIFE

Life as seen from a compositor's frame makes interesting reading for the outside pub'io. Few have so frequency the opportunity of studing the maunscripts of well-known men and women —leaders of science, politics, literature, and fashion— as the patient type-setter. And his impressions on life are always worth listening to. Perhaps he catches a literary fragment from the manusoripts before him, and so always has a fund of reeo' ections to draw upon. A compositor well known in colonial Tv-ess circles— Mr William Eastwood, of Stxn ey-street, South Brisbane — lately gave pur reporter some interns ing items:— "l have been lately employed on the Brisbane Telegraqh," says Mr Eastwood, and have had a good deal of experience. Eigbt years ago, as a resuH no d übt of confinement indoors, the first symp'oms of what afterwards proved a serious complaint manifested themselves. My right breast waa the- first place to warn me of coming danger. In that region I suffered pains of An acute, darting oharacter, which seemed

to increase when in a recumbent position, particularly when I lay on my right side. Doctors prescribed, but their remedies proved futile. Instead of feeling beneficial effeots, the symptoms became more aggravated. The paia increased to other parts of my body even my neck being affected, -as well as the right shou'der, I became so ill that I was incapacitated from performing my daily avocation. I distinctly remember being troubled with some sort of a cough, and this alarmed me still further, and my worst fears were realised when the doctor diagnosed my complaint aB tlieprimary stages of consumption. First vevcr, they to d me I had inflammation oi the liver. Being absolutely convinced that the medical profession, so far as I had dealings with them, were entirely ignorant of the real nature of my complaint — I resolved to let nature take her course — to either wear the complaint off. or else let death be the result ; and, indeed, I fully expected to die. Two years passed solowly away, and life was becoming a burden. A friend advised me to try Dr Williams' Pink Pills, but I had grown morose and hope bad died within me. At last, however, I was persuaded to try the pills. Two boxes were all I had taken when I felt a little reieved. Indeed, bo lost in despair was I tuat I never dreamt they would cure me. But I continued taking the pills. Then my appetite was restored, and I at last, after many years, enjoyed a good hearty meal. Slowly but surely the symptoms of my former complaint began to disappear, and my friends marvelled at my recovery. I am positively certain that this beneficial change was brought about by taking br Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and today my general good health, and, I flatter myself, my personal appearance, amply testify of my restoration to sound and perfect health. To anyone suffering the symptoms I experienced and now detail, I strongly recommend Dr Williams' Pink Pi I. I feel convinced that I absolutely owe my life to tham."
