A Fruitful Tale.
All amongst the plums, apricots and apple trees, in their fruitful and spacious orchard at Wetherill’ Park, not far i from Fairfield, N. S. W., reside Mr and Mrs Behnet, in the midst of bowering beauty. But even here, healthy as the locality might seem to be, the inroads of illness had made sad and serious havoc. Still, that is all passed now and health and happiness hold undisputed sway once more. As a reporter entered the grounds the other day, Mrs Bennet willingly abandoned her occupation of picking mulberries to have the following chat with him :— ‘ For 12 years,' she said, ‘I suffered terribly from general debility. I cannot find words to tell you how ill I was. I felt so miserably low and depressed in spirits that I really hardly cared whether I lived or died. I cared for nothing, and sometimes when I saw visitors coming up towards our house I got out of the way, for 1 felt so miserable that I positively couldn't speak bo them. . At nights I slept very badly I had the most terrible-headaches. On the top of all this, about 5 years ago I was attacked with liver comlaint, and was continually being laid up with fearful fits of billiousness. I couldn’t look at food. I had an excessive and obstinate costiveness. Doctors attended me, but they failed to do anything for me, though I paid one gentleman no less than £3O. I also had severe indigestion and sickness. In fact I may say I was in a hopeless state. In addition to doctors’ physic, it is no exaggeration to say 1 tried scores of different sorts of medicine, but all uselessly. One day a little book containing accounts of cures by Dr- Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People was left,at our house. I was struck by the air of truthfulness of the cases reported. I sent for a trial box. I found they did me a considerable amount of good. I got more, and exactly followed the direction as to the taking of them. They acted splendidly. My troublesome cosbiveness disappeared; my appetite returned to me; my indigestion gradually went, and so did my liver complaint and those severe fits of billiousness and sick headache, and I grew fat a well, and could eat grandly Four boxes entirely cured me. It is some months since, and I have seen no sign of a return of any of my complaints or disorders. lam positive that Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People have given me a new lease of life, and I shall ever be grateful, and have already recommended them to lots of people., I forgot to say my husband was troubled with severe headaches, and three boxes entirely cured him.’ These pills can be obtained from all chemists and storekeepers, or from the Dr Williams’ Medicine Co., Wellington, N.Z., one box for 3s, or six for 15s 9d, post paid. They positively cure indigestion, insominA, neuralgia, general, debility, sciatica, lumbago, neuralgia, general debility, sciatica, lumbago, anaemia, all female irregularities, loss of strength heat and sick headaches, etc. If you suffer from any ailment whatsoever, arising from a disordered or unhealthy blood, you should try a course. ’
