A Successful Rabbit Trapper.

One of the best shots and rabbit trappers around the dis'rict in which he reside * is William F, Byrnes, of Toolern, near Melton, on the Bacchus Marsh line, Victoria, "In fact," said Mr Byrnes to a reporter, " I am ever in my clement when out on the hills trapping rabbits and securing game. Frequently Xgo away for days at a time, and my experiences have been many and are worth relating. Some time ago, however, I bad to relinguish my trapping and shooting excursions on account of an attack of galloping consumption, which at one time fonr no'ed doctors in Melbourne declared to be incurab'e. M r Byrnes said that he also suffered from tuberculous affection of the hip, great prostration, night sweats, a persistent hacking cough, loss of appetite, and an entire inabi ity to move about. So bad did it become that he was removed to the Melbourne Hospisa', where a very delicate operation was performed upon his hip. But this operation, a 1 though .conducted under the most favourable auspices, and by the most skilful surgeons, scarcely brought the relief which was desired, and young Byrnes left the hospital in almost a dying condition. In fact the physicians recommended his removal to the Aust'n Hospita for Inourab es But Byrnes' family brought him home instead, as they 1 bought bis dying moments would be more peaceful in his own hom<». Several professional men also examined him and deolared the casu to be incurable. The president racking cough that every now and agftin attacked him became more severe than ever, nnd after a fit of coughing he wou'd lie back upon the pil'ows so weak, white and exhausted, that the nurse wou d think his last moment had come. In fact a local minister was called in on one occasion, bo certain were his family of his inabi'ity to live more than a few hours. But his relatives heard of the fame of Dr Williams' pink pills and their wonderful efficacy, and at this stage they purchased a supply for his The first few doses did not seem to benefit him much, but by the time he had taken a box he breathed more free y and tbe cough quietened down, and when 1-e had used three boxes a wonderful improvement was apparent. The medicine was carefully continued until eigh' boxes had been taken. Day by day he increased in appetite and strength ; he aseimiluted his food properly ; the glow of heal'h came to his cheeks ; and his lips appeaivd full and red instead of pale and b ood ess. At the end of a month he was able to leave his bed and walk about a little. Dyby day his slreng'h increased, unti he was placed in absolute health and strength. Now ho is s>rong and vigorous, and goes on his iabbit trapping and shooting excursions for days at a tin.e. A'l his skill has come back to him, and he thanks the day on which he took Dr Williams' pink pi Is, which the whole district dec'ares raised him from his death bed. Dr Williams' pink pills cured Willie Byrnes because they — unlike other medicine-' — struck at the root of the disease and not at thsymptoms. For the same reason this valuable remedy has effpeted cures in serious case? of diphtheria, bronchitis, pneumonia typhoid and sc r'et fevers, St. Vitus' dance, scrofula, eczema, anemia, ladies' ai merits, vital losses, and all disorders of the blood and nerves.
