THE NIGHT WATCH

" Two o' the c'ock and aU's well ! " We are told that in days gone* by the night watch, or bellman, was not regard-d as an unmixed blessing. It is said that whilst advising sleepless onss of the hour and their sifety, his stentorian tones often wake up many light sleepers within reach of his voice. Until a short time ago the night watches in Fetherston were rendered sensational by screams heard in the small hours. Many were the opinions, some of the grave, hazardad as to their cause, All anxiety has, however, bean removed, and Fetberstone again seeps 1 In connection with the matter Mi-a Petrea Peterson, livivg at Fttherstone, gave in substance the fol'owing information to our special reporter : — Miss Peterson said : " Yes ; it was I who screamed. I couldn't help it. I was enduring intens9 agony from cramps in my legs." "Your screams created quite a sensation amongst your friends and neighbours ? " " Yes ; they were all very so'icilous for me ; they knew my terrible^ plight. In addition to cramps I suffered acutely from palpitation oi the heart, induced by poverty of the blood. I always felt tired and weiry, my back achsd, and headaches were constant troubling me. I had little appetite and my digestion appeared impaired. Sleep was at times quite impossible and night after night I would tos3 upon my bed waiting for the morning light to s'eal in. I C3u r d not do nmch even when it did, for I was so weak and ill that even light housework was beyond me. Swelings in my limbs caused ms much suffering and occasioned my mother snd friends great anxiety. Sudden attacks of giddiness would come over me, and I would reel backward with a sick sensation whenever this took p'ace." •'Did you not Feek medical advice or take soms measures to relieve your sufferings ? " " Plenty of medicines were taken, but they all proved useless. Severa' doctorseminent gentlemen of great experience— were a'so consulted, but their attentions did not seem to assist me. " Would you mind telling me by what means you were cured th'n ?" 41 One day I read an advertisement concerning Dr. Williams' pnk pills for pale people in the Evemmj Post. I commenced j taking the pils, following the directioni j carefully. There soon was a chinge for I the better, and by the time I had used several boxes I was real y a different being. The co'or cms gradually back to my cheek?, the attacks of giddiness became more scares and les3 severe, and headaches and heart palpitation were less frequent. Six boxps almost perfectly cured me, but I used three more to make doubly certain, as it were." This was nenrly two years Ego, and Mis3 Pit rson has had no relapse an'!?. She U quite s'rong and ac'iva now, feels lighhearted and energelic, and has never an j ache or pain ; tha is not so thin as formerly, and does not call out in her sleep j now. The reason that Dr. Williams' pink pills cured Miss Pet^r-on when evirything ; else failed, is that they actrd upon the j causes, no' the mere signs and symptoms ! of dis ase. For the same reason they have j cured many case- of pneumonia, pleurisy, rheumati m, neuralga, sciatioi, lumbago, fever, scrofula, eczema, iaundic, indigestion, dysen'ry and riiarrhcei, liver anri kidney compla nt-\ lad 83 1 ailmen's, lofs of vifal srength, d bili:y, ricket-, paralysis, locomotor ataxia and St. Vi us' dance. They always bear the full name — Dr Williams'pink pills for pale people— printed in red ink on white outside wrapper, and are thus spfoially ma'iuf otured for the Australian climate. So'd by chemists and storekeeper?, and by the Dr. Williams' Medicine C\, Wellington, N.Z. ; price, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and sixpence. Substitutes never cure anyone, and are dear at any price 1
