Sucking Copper.

+ AN UNHEALTHY HABIT. The practise of sucking copper articles, Boeh as pennies, is a disagreeable and dangerous habit as well as being nauseating. But, very often people complain of a coppery taste in the mouth when they are not addicted to this habit. Now, this generally arises from indigestion, which can be easily removed by Dr Williams' Pink Pills; the indigestion being removed, the coppery taste in the month likewise vanishes. Here is a case in print : — Mr William Handley, who resides at the jwaraf X) 4 Harris Street, Pyrmont, Sydney, N.IEW., suffered tortures from indigestion for nearly 7 years. He has very kindly given our reporter the particulars of his cure by Dr Williams' Pink Pills. •' I first noticed the pains about 7 years ago," said Mr Handley. "I am a greengrocer, and am wstin a-1 weathers, and used to have very litfa ti»e ior my meals. The oomplaint came «a gradua'ly, and at first I didn't let it worry me ; but I was very soon awakened. X got worse and worse, in spite

of various remedies which I tried. Afte eating I would feel a most terrible pain ii the lower part of my chest, as if sotm hundredweight of lead were there, and though often hungry, I would refrain fron eating, because I knew the result. '. became very thin, and felt as though lift were hardly worth living. Meat, of oo.ursi I had almost to refrain from eating. An] excitement brought on the pain, and I wai at last unab'e to climb a hill, so great was my exhaustion and want of breath. Ever a piece of bread would disagree with me I consulted three doctors, who told me ] was suffering from indigestion and dyspepsia,. I then tried the hospitals, anc was six weeks in one institution, being laid up on that occasion for three month! altogether. Th's bad attack occurred about two years ago, but I've had several since. I had the most unpleasant taste in my mouth on rising, just as if 1 had been sucking some copper article. My skin and my chest-bone became so tender thai I could hardly bear the touch of my clothes. Well, my wife who has been ill for years k taking a course of Dr Williams' Pink Pills, and she had even then derived the greatest benefit from them." Here Mrs Handle; nodded a smiling assent. "My wife thought the Dr Williams' Pink Pil's might do me good, so I gave them a trial. The first few doses drove away the pains in mj head, and I also found, to my surprise, and pleasure, that my indigestion wa3 slowly disappearing. . That was about six months ago, and I have never gone back since. As time went on, my taste for food returned and now I can eat with comfort. I can honestly say my indigestion is entirely a thing of the past, and its disappearance is entirely owing to Dr Williams' Pink Pills, That terrible weight on my cnest and the unpleasant taste left me, and also the retching that accompaniep my complaint.
