A Tasmanian Miracle.

PARTIAL PABALYSIS AND WHOLE PROSTRATION ENTIRELY CUBED DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS CREATE A SENSATION IN HOBAET. (Fron the Hobari dipper.) Henry Dixon Clarke, a rative of Hobarf, Tasmania, tells a etory of a cure effected | by the use of the now famous Dr Williams' , Pink Pil s for Pale Peop'e, which, in its j marvellous detat's, proves that adrge that i truth is 8 ranger than fiction. Twelve years ago he fell from the scaffolding of a building in course of erection in Collins Street, Melbourne, and was taken to the hospital insensible. He recovered, and was sent home. The next morning he was too stiff to go to work, and J reso'ved on resting awhile. The next day , he was worse, and in addition to feei ng ; feverish and unwel', was seized with j twitching pains in the back whenever he ; attempted to straighten himself. These : increased in virulence, and were accom- ■ panied with intense pains in the bead. He , lost the use of his left arm. and partially ( that of his left leg, as well as feeing , numbness all down the side, extending.! - from the shoulder to the region of the abdomen. Eleotricity was tried amongst other thing , but without relief. So much ■ was he insensible to outward agenoie3 , that he oould bear the application of the

battery to hi? arm to any degree without fee ing it- To use bi3 own expression, " You cou'd jab a needle into my arm and I could not feel it." He was given up as hopeless paralytic by the medical fraternity of Melbourne after he had spent bis last shilling in trying to get better. He then resolved on coming over to Tasmania at the request of his relatives in the faint hope tnat the climate might perhaps give him relief. But years dragged on, and his snff rings were without end. " I thought," said he, " frequently of COMMITTING SDICIDE rather than continue to be a burden upon my friends, for my miserable plight was exceedingly depressing, as wel' as painful. I found relief in a sence of the word by sit ing on the verandah in the sun ; but when I saw my friends go past to work, it only made me the more miserable, for I was always a very active man. There not a few who remember the pale and wretched object I was, seated _in the verandah of my mother's house in Macquarie Street, and many can testify to the marvellous cure which t^ok pace. I got hold of Dr WiHams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and took four boxes of them. One morning I found I could lift my arm quite easily. It all came on in the night, and them I began to feel better right off. In about a week from when the change set it, the pains had left me altogetoer, and I cannot describe to you the relief I felt both in body and mind. A fortnight later, and I could walk about and eat well. I had nnother sensation then, which was new to ( me— the feeling of hope. Only those who ! have passed an ordeal dke mine can tell what that actually means." j •• What doctors did you have to attend you ?" i "I would tell you, but perhaps they wouldn't care to have their names mention- < rd in a case like mine, which they turned r.p as hopeless. But I spent in all £170, j a d being then a beggar, came home to die. ) Now there is no fear of my being reduced to beggary again, and as for dying, I'm not going to throw a seven yet for a long while . I can assure. I am going to work next week round at the West Coast — a job a friend got for me — so you see what Dr Wil iams' Pink Pills for Pale People have doae for me. I say — and I say it advise 1ly — and all who know me say so too, that it "s the most marvellous thing of the knd that is going. You are welcome to made what use you like of this. I can tell jou I am heartily thankful for my recovery — more than I can de.eribe to you." j Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People ! have enred paralysis, locomotor ataxia, j rheumatism and sci tic ; also all disease* • arising from impoverishm nt of the blood, scrofula, ticket ; c' ronic cry ipelas, consumption of ths bowels and lungs, anosmia, pale « T "' col' ■'• "•*> <->lexion, general muscular weakness, loss of appetite, palpitation s, pains in the back, nervous headache. early decay, all forms of female wrak- 1 ness, and hys- i teria Thrse j pills are a onic, not a ! p v rga ti ye.
