A Man of Sorrows.

" On a Tiait to Palmerston Nbrtb," says th« travelling representative of the Wairarapa Observer, "I happened to get into conversation wifh Mr John H. Freeman, of Ferguson- s' reet, with whom I had been acquainted for a number of yeajs. In the course of our friendly chat Mr Freeman, who is now over 66 years of age, and appeared remarkably hae and healthy, Btated that his appearance did not belie him. He felt as well as he did 30 years ago. •■ You used to suffer very much if I remember rightfy, from indigestion and sleeplessness" I remarked. "I don't suppose many have suffered more from these complaints," replied Mr Freeman, " but my sorrows did not end there, for few people, I imagine, have j undergone greater trouble from constipation I used to feel as if I bad no energy at all." "And are you better in aU respects now I " " Better in all respects ; I can honest y say I do not remember ever having enjoyed more perfect health, and for my age it seemed fc'most a miracle, And it is from the effects of six boxes of Dr Williams' pink pills." " tou believe in them, then ? " "How can I speak otherwise than in the highest terms of a medicine which has done me so much good? I could not possibly expect better health for a man of my age, «nd one who hae suffered so much and for so many years as I have. I have walked about for half the night knowing that I cou^d not close my eyes if I went to bed, I had no appetite in the morning ; now I can enjoy a substantial breakfast, and my sleep is so sound and refreshing that I rise in the morning as fresh as a lark. The consiipation has also gone, and you know how much medicine I took, and how many things I tried in vain for that What is more, lam as eager for work as I ; waa at 35 or 40, Friends who have known | me for the last 85 years are surprised at [ my healthful appearance of late. I feel so . well now," added Mr Freeman, in his intense enthusiasm, " and strong, too, that Ido not think I shall require any more. However, if I feel by-and-bye that I shall want them, I shall not hesitate to take • another box or two. I shall always be thankful that I was induced to try Dr Wilfioms'pink pills for pale people, for they made a new man of me, and lam fee ing far belter than I ever expected to feel again on this side of the grave. I shall always speak well of that medicine, for to it I owe my present good health and spirits. As I nave work to finish before five o'clock," said Mr Freeman, "you . must excuse me, Good-bye ; drop in again when you are in Palmerston." Such , hearty cheerfulness on the part of Mr j Freeman shows how thoroughly he had | been cured. Many other sufferers from j rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, diphtharia, ! bronchitis, consumption coughs and colds, : kidney troubles, scrofula, ladies' ailments, j loss of vital strength, and other diseaaea have been cared just as thoroughly. They j all speak in high praise of Dr Williams' | pink pills.
