Fever, Ague, and Sciatica at Hawera.

* DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS EFFECT ANOTHER GREAT CURE. A case worthy of speoial mention is that of Mr George Millard Walker, well known in and about Hawera, New Zealand. Mr Walker, when interviewed, said he was 52 and had travelled all over the colonies during the last 35 years. As a soldier aod gold-miner he had endured great hardships He came to New Zealand as a private in the 50th Regiment. " Queen's Own," and went through the Maori War, serving in the Waikato and Taranaki campaign under General Chute, and he was one of the expedition tbat made the celebrated march round Mount Egmont, "when," said Mr Walker, " we endured great hardships in dense bush, and had to eat onr packhoraes." He also went to the gold-fields of Australia and was amongst the first on several of the new rushes in New South Wa'es, Victoria, and Queensland. • • What I suffered from , " said Mr Walker, "is sciatica. I was down with fever and ague, and then wiih rheumatio- fever, when on the Pa'mer diggings, in Queens and. That was my worst experience, and I have never untill recently been quite free from it. When I came back to New Zealand I tried the hot springs in Auckland, but got only partial relief. I- was recently laid up in the Hawera Hospital, where I had to be taken in a cab, and I came out in the same way. I consulted many doctors, who treated me, bnt they never told me what was wrong. When-in the hospital my knee wa_ drawn to my ear, and I was like that when I came out. A lady who was visiting the hospital told me her husband had been suffering as I did, and had derived great benefit through using Dr Williams' Pink Pills. So I decided to come out, and try the Pil ; s. That was about 6 months ago. I carried out the directions and before I had taken a box and a half I got my leg half-way down and could get about with a stick. At the third box I dispensed with the stick. After the forth box 1 was able to do light work, and Has winter there has been nothing the matter with me. The pain ha- quite left me." At the time of this interview Mr Walker appeared hale, hearty, and active. He declared he could write who'e pages about the good the Dr. Willians Pink Pills had done him. Mv Walker is wel -known in Hawera, and has a first-class fishmonger's business in High-street, Hawera, where he carries out with activity tbe duties of his trade. " Many people," said Mr Walker, "have observed my recovery and congratulated me on it, as after the life of exposure and hardships that I have led, my case was looked on as hopeless. 1 have recommended the Pill to others, and will continue to do so, for they made me fit for an ordinary day's work at my old nursery garden. The pains I suffered were dreadful ; it was like a million toothaches shot into my leg. lam glad of the opportunity ypu have given me of testifying to the value of medicine that has cured me after my long experience of suffering."
