Dying of Starvation. -♦ TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN BLENHEIM. A distressing tale surrounded by extraordinary circumstances has been v ifolded to a special reporter by Charles D. Rodgers, printer, residing in Alfred Street Blenheim. Mr Rodgers, who is well known in athletic oircles, and is esteemed by all the neighbours for miles around, said : — "To look at me now you wou'd scarcely believe that comparatively a short time ago I almost died of starvation. Owing to tbe confined nature of my work as a printer my system became thoroughly run down, my blood thin, and I could not digest my food after mea's. I suffered from terrible pains and tightness across the chest, flatulence and nausea. No nourishment was derived from what I aland I grew thin and depressed; rather than suffer the tortures which resu'ted from eating, I practically starved myself. A doctor prescribed, but his medicines, did not seem to benefi 1 . Then a frier d whom Dr Williams' pink pills had cured of biliosneas recommended them. I purchased a supp y, and even after a few doses found relief. By con iuuing them the pains and tightness across my chest disappeared, I regained my appetite, and i no pain followed after meals. Four boxes restored me to perfect health: I have now such a splendid appetite that there is no fear of me ever dying of starvation while food is obtainable." There is a vicious circle in disease. I Debility leads to indigestion, and indigestion can cause debility. If we feed and enrich the blood — for which Dr Williams' pink pills are especially famed — we check ' tbe indigestion, enable ourselves to get the full benefit from our food, and avoid or cure indigestion, sluggish liver, biliousness, debility, St Vitus' dance, neuralgia, e'c. Dr Williams pink pills are sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free.
