A Hillsborough Heroine.

-* — Few ladies in New Zealand deserve better of their fel ow colonists than Mrs J, Agnew, of Hillsb rough, near Ouehunpa. Auckland. Some ladies do not scruple to address a meeiing in public, in the cause of religion or p 1 ogress, and no matter what opponents to this practice argue, nothing oan gainsay the fact that theae lady a d v o c ates are working t h orough'y and sincerely in their differ c n t CIUS9S. Mrs Agnew is well-known in Hillsborough and surrounding _ districts for her kin dMns Aqnew. lin e s sof (Sketched by our artist.) heart and disposition, and is naturally popular. Whenever she can give assistance she ungrudingly do«s so. This being known, it will be a matt r of no surprise that she has written a letter for press publication, solely in ihe endeavour 'o alleviate suffering. She says that for s me years she was completely prostrated with sciatica in her back and lpgs, and 'ater on it affected her arms. Hot, nipping pains racked her frame with intense agony, which no treatment, however careful, seemed to alleviate, in such agony, and so debi itated was she, that for more than a year she was even unable to make her own bed. Every movement produced excruciating pain, nor could ehe even pull the bed clothes on top of her. Then her right arm became paralysed in one night, and later on her left leg, from the hip joint to the knee, was similarly affrcfed. Mr Agnew, with kind so'icitude, bought everything that appeared might be useful in alleviating his wife's case. Among other things elec'ric belts were tried, one of .which cost £5 ss, and the o'her £2 15s, but even these gave Mrs Agnew no permanent relief. Liniments were also equally ineffective. Then a neighbour induced Mrs Agnew o try Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people. The first box did not appear to benefit her very greatly, but by the time she had finished the second box the describes the change as truly wonderful. Her back became strengthened and her blood enriched. With the enriching of the blood and the toning up of the nerves, the sciatio pains le sened, and before long th y faded quite away. Then also, from having new, rich blood in her bcdy, her formerly paralysed arm became capab'e of movement, and the use of her thigh was also restored to her. Now, she : is, in every way, in the best of hea'tb, com- j pat.ble, of course, with her age, for although her heart is as warm as ever, Mrs Agnew is not quite as young as she once was. St. ll. she is pow quite relieved of all her pain, and has the perf ct use of all her hmbp. In her letter sin says: "Please publish my testimony for the sake of other poor sufferers. lam sure Dr Williams'pink pile with God's blessing, have saved my life." Many others in all parts of New Zealand, and, indeed, all over the . world, wri'e in from time to time te'li g j us how they have bpen cured by this miracle of modern medicine, which also cures rheumatism, neura'g'a, lumbago, pleurisy, pneumonia, bronoh tig, coughts colds, influenza indigestion, loss of vital strength, debili'y.
