A Splendid Investment.
WHAT A FEW SHILLINGS DID FOB A
PERTH MAN.
Early in the present deoade there was living in Melbourne a member of that sturdy race that makes its way to every corner of the earth. George Nelson wa« his name, hit birthplace the "land of brown heath and shaggy wood." Mr Nelson was a memoer of a- BecLabite lodge, and as lueb was entitled to tho benefits accruing to its membere. They, however, loyally stood by him, and after monthi of medical treatment for biliousness And ohronio headache, accompanied by daily-reourring fita of vomiting, his lodge ■ent him on a trip to hia mother country in search of health; But onavailingly, for Mr Nelson returned no better in health than when he departed twelve months previously. Again the man's eoneeienee urged him to relieve his fellows of the burden that he felt himself to be, and his strict views of right and wrong prompted him to resign his membership. Mr Nelson is now a citieen of Peith, where as senior member of the firm of Nelson, Moir and Co., he carries on, at William and Aberdeen Streets, the business of general contractors builders and carpenters, combining therewith the work of crushing horse-feed, etc., for the trade. One of our repor era heard something of Mr Nelson's prolonged ailment, followed by a sudden recovery of health, waited upon him with a view to obtaining some enlightenment as to the treatment he had undergone.
" For ▼es.rV Mid Mr Nelson, in reply to oar reporter, "I have suffered from biliousness in suoh a form as to make my life a misery. Constant headache and morning vomiting kept me in a condition that made existenoe wretched. I took medicines as prescribed by medical men, and mixtures sold by chemists, without benefit." " Have you never tried patent medicines, Mr Nelson ?"
" Well, one or two ; but I'm prejudiced aga'nßt patent medicineß. I won't say I am prejudiced, but I was till lately." fleeing Bile Beans so widely advertised as a remedy for the complaint which was torturing me, I ventured to try a box. The first box gave me relief such as I hadn't known for years, seeing which I oontinued the treatment until I had used a number of boxes, and was absolutely cured." There was a note of triumph in his voice as he said that. " I always keep a box handy, and if the old symptoms should show a sign of recurring, I am prepared for them."
" Have you recommended the remedy to any of your friends, Mr Nelson ? " " You bet," was tha emphatio reply. " More than that. Not knowing that Bile Beans were to b« had in any part of the world, I bought several boxes, and have ■ent them to my frieade in Scotland. 1 will ba pleased to let you know the results when I hear from them," he added.
"Presumably, then, Mr Nelson, you don't think you made a bad investment when you bought those three boxes of the Beans?"
" I made the best investment of my life when I bought them. Why, work is a pleasure to me now. I hop« that the publication of the results in my case will mult in others being benefited as I have been ; and 1 may add that I shall alwala be ready to afford information to those who have suffered as I have, in hope that they, like me, may obtain a relief that is wholly due to the use of Bi!e Beans."
The teitimony of mtn of strict integrity is valuable to the public as a guarantee of the benefits of such a remedy as Bile Beans ; and in the interests of those of the p-blio vrho have suffered like Mr Nelson has, we give publicity to the above facts.
