How Newspapsrs Stimulate Action.
A NOTABLE EXAMPLE. The great effeot newspaper reading has upon most of us in generally more or less acknowledged, but now and again an incident occurs which vividly shows how people's actions are influenced by advice or information found in a paper. An instance of this has just happened at Ohudleigh (Tas). Miss M. C. Carter, a resident of that town, and a daughter of Mr W. J. Carter, of the State School, Gordon, has had her whole life changed through reading a paper. Her career is exceptionally interesting. When she first came to the colony in 1896, although 14 years old, she could scarcely walk, and had to be helped along by her mother. When she was only five she had an attack of St, Titus' dance, and a lump appeared on her back which gradually grew larger. She tried several doctors, but received no benefit Jrom them. The twitching of her face and fingers was painful to witness, and the jaundice made her appearance distressing to her relatives, who did everything to assist the poor gir\ Several doctors treated her without success, and she was told she was suffering from spinal trouble and heart disease. She tried many remedies, but did not meet with success. Still she did not de-pair, and in '97 she read in newspaper an account of a cure which has been performed by Williams' pink pills. She procured some, and after using several boxes she completely regained very good health. The family, as may be imagined, have ever since been most pleased with the success which attended the use of Dr Williams' pink pills and they are strong advocates of this reliable medicine. Miss- Carter's complaints first arose from spinal trouble. It is well known that Dr Williams' pink pills have a direct tonic action upon the spine, blood* and nerve?, and this is why they are so successful in curing many apparent'y different diseases such as rheumatism, neuralgia, bronchitis, consumption, pneumonia, enteritis, nervous prostration, peritonitis, debility, anemia, after effects of influenza, fevers, etc. So d by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, N.Z., three shillings per box, six box sixteen and sixpence, post free. Full list of our cures in any colony will be sent post free upon application.
