Remarkable Incident at a Guardians' Meeting.

An interesting and, we venture to think, 6omewhat unusual incident lately occurred at the meeting of the Bishop's Stortford Poor Law Guardians (says the Glasgow Herald, of December 15, 1898 ) A work ing man appeared before the Board with reference to some arrears of maintenance for hia father's support, the latter being in the County Lunatic Asylum. The man said he was quite unable to pay. He was employed at 13s per week, but had been himself laid up with illness. Out ot this 13s 9s went for lodgings and 2s 9d a week for Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Some of the Guardians suggested that he might have dispenced with Ihess pills, but the man would not hear of this, saying that if he had adopted such advice he would not have been able to fo'low his employment at all. The guardians were at first disinclined to accept this testimony of the value of the pills, but one of ther own number spoke very decided'y in their favor, and testified to the great benefits he had himself derived from them. The Guardian in question met with a serious accident some time ago, and it was wh : le recovering that he tried Dr Williams' Pink Pills, with what he described as most beneficial results.

The above item appeared word for word in the paper mentioned, amongst the ordinary reading matter. It is merely an unconscious but ster'ing tribute to the extraordinary va'ue of Dr Wil iams' Pink Pills. Another very strong tribute conies from Miss Annie Barnard, who is residing in Adelaide street, near the Centra! Railway Station, Brisbane, and who is well known as an artistic and fashionable dres maker, being employed at one of the leading dressmaking establishments in Brisbane.

"About three years ago," said Mis 3 Barnard, " I suffered greatly from indigestion. I lived then at Ipswich. For about twelve months I suffered much inconvenience and pain. I took no' medicine whatever for it. I then went to Brisbane, and procured employment at the firm I am working for at present. But when I first arrived in the city, I found lhat the change did me no good, and my complaint inconvenienced me so much that I had to Eeek medical advice. I visited a doctor and he prescribed for me. The medicine did not do me much good. I began to have terrible paius. After I partook of the slightest morsel of food A would have severe pains in my chest, together with swellinga. I got so indifferent to food that I bare'y tasted it, and con-equently my health was vesy much impared. I became very thin, and had to go away for a change, I had to entirely give up my employment, no remedies seemingly releiving me. One of my workmates at last advised me to try Dr Williams' Pink Pills but I only laughed. However, when she had tod me they had cured her of indigestion, I though I would give thrm a trial ; so I procured a few boxe9 at Mr Marshall's, and began taking then?. Very soon a change for the better could be noticed. My friend and adviser was very solicitous to know the result, and four weck^ after taking Dr William ' Pink Pills I had to c >nfess to her that I felt a vast improve- | ment. I took altogether niuts boxes, and now I feel perfectly well. I am able to eat a fairly good meal, and walk long distances without feeling much fatigued. I attribute this change to Dr Williams' Pink Pisl?, and I have induced many to (jive them a trial, with gratifying results. The reason I r.j'ate ihese facts, and | authorise their publication, is simply out of gratitude. N ither am I ashamed to publish my testimonial, as I consider it wou'd be selfish and an injustice to others who suffered as I did."
