PECULIAR CASE OF A CONTRACTOR.
Mr Larry Foran, a contractor and 1 granger, ofKerosene Bay, North Sydney, to a reporter from the Svdney- ‘ Worker,’ who questioned him as to his recovery from a wearisome illness by caking Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People ;said ( : ‘As I am well,?, known, I may say, all over the colony, I hope what I am about to say will be the means of saving olhfr people from suffering as I did. lam working for the Government now at Folly Point and have the control of a large number of men, and as it’s almost time for me to start for the job I shan’t be able to* give you much more than the bare facts of my case. Mine was what you might call an in-and-out illness. Some days I was well enough to do a bit of work and some days I wasn,t able to walk to the job, and sometimes I was too bad to leave the house at all. I suffered from indigestion and liver complaint. After eating, my food used to be like a, leaden ball on my chest for hours before it would digest; and it didn’t do me ruy good. And then my liver used to trouble me a good deal; a dull heavy pain between the shoulders, with now and again a sharp bricking sensation in the same spot. Well, I tried lots of medicines, and went under several well known Sydney doctors, but I got no better. In fact, I got worse. I became thin and yellow ; slept at night onlyin fits and starts, and I hardly cared! whether he ate anything or not. Oncewhen I was laid up in the house wondering when I was going to get better a friend of mine brought me some of Dr Wllliams’ Pink Pillsfor Pale People. ‘They’ll be no use,’ I said, for I’ve tried nearly every thing.’ However, I took them, and, feelmg animprovement, I sent for some more. They fairly astonished me. In a few days my indigestion had gone entirely. Once more-. 1 could enjoy my food without fear of pain afterwards. I picked up my lost flesh, slept well at nights, and my liferat last began to work properly again and I got rid of the yellow-jaundice-looking color in my face. I havn’fc time to say more, but is you will calL on my brother Patrick he will be able to tell you that what I’ve said about my cure is true ; also he will tell you about his own case, for he was pretty bad too, and was cured by the same medicine. lam quite willing that the Dr Williams Medicine Co.sheuld publish this testimonial, wherever, whenever, and in whatever manner they may deem fit, and I shall be only too pleased if desired by the Company to verify my testimonial by making a statutorydeclaration as to its truth before a jusr. tice of the Peace whenever lean make it convenient to see one.
The genuine Dr Williams’’Pink Pills are sold only in wooden boxes,* about, two inches in length’ encircling which is a blue warning label. The outside wrappper has the full name, Dr Wil? liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, print ed in red. In Case of doubt it is better to send direct to Dr Williams* Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., enclosing the price, 3s a box, or six boxes for 15s 9d. These pills are not a purgative, and they contain nothing that could injure the most delicate. As a spring medicine Dr Pink Pills far surpass all other remedies Their action on the. blood and nerves is prompt, and the effect 4 is wonderful-. Lassitude gives way to a-feeling of renewed energy, and the of disease, resulting from the indoor oonfinement of the winter months, are speedily expelled from the system These pills are sold only in boxes, the wrapper around which bears the full trade mark, ‘ Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.’ A pill, even if coloured pink, offered in anv other form is a fraudulent imitation,' and should be promptly refused.
