A Popular Manageress.

« It would be difficult to And a more popular Manageress than Miss Anni Montgomery, whose business ability and genial nature go fa,r to ensue the sneers of the A.B.C. Tea Booms, Queen's Walk, Melbourne. "When Mips Monlgomery is not actively engaged with her work or planning for the comfort of A.B.C. p -Irons one may be fortunate enough to gain a few moments' conversation with this bright little lady. Miss Montgomery tod a reporter from this journal that she had the last few months been "able to give her undivided attention lo business, " for " added she, " t we've months prior to my faking over the management here I wa9 very il 1 ," and, noticing your representative's evident surprise, " so ill in fact that my last medical adviser told my mother I had only Bis hours to live " •' Further particulars wou'd prove very interesting." " You shall have them with p'easure. About eighteen months ago I was obliged to discontinue work owing to a most serious attack of neuralgia combined with ancemia. One day, upon returning to my home at 53 Wellington Street, Windsor, I was so bad that I had to take to my bed, completely prostrated. I grew steadily worsp, a'l enei'gy and strength left me, my appetite failed, I ured to faint away frequent y, and my life was despair? d of. The flesh at my ankles became puffy as though I were suffering from dropsy, and my cheeks pale ard flaccid, I receiv d the best medica' attention—doctor after doctor attended, remedy after remedy was tried, and everything which it was thought might hep my recovery was provided." " How long did this continue ? " " For near'y five monthß I had to keep my bed, but I endured agony for twelve months. One day the doctor called my mother aside and told her he cou d give me six hours to live. 1 ' •' There surely has been a marvelous transformation ; wi 1 you kindly state how it was managed, Miss Montgomery ? " "A friend imp'ored me to try Dr Wiliams' pink pills for pale peop c as a last' resource. I did so. The second box very c 'ear .y effected improvement, and aftfr taking a few more my flesh, the pressure of a finger upon which 't ft a hole, began (o assume its natural shape and firmness, and soon I was able to leave my bed. Fcr twelve months I had hardly eaten sufficient to keep myself ativa, but at 'a-t I could lvlish ray food. Determined to make a thorough cure I pc-severed with Dr Williams' pink piils until this was assured. Since then I have never had a recurrence of tbe symptoms of my illnes3, and I feel ful' o£ life and energy. Som>> of the pills I gave lo a friend whom also they cured. I have gained two stone in weight since my recovery." Miss Montgomery is gUd to bear testimony to tbe efficacy of Dr Williams' | ink pills for pa c people, which have produced so many marvellous curts of paralysis, locomotor ataxia. early decay of the nervous faculties, spinal weakness, neuralgia, consumption, b ochitis, pleurisy, liver and kidney disease and St Vitu- 1 danc9.
