PECULIAR CASE OF A CONTRACTOR;
Mr Larry Foran, a contractor and granger, ofKerosene Bay, North Sydney, to a reporter from the Sydney • * Worker/ who questioned him as to his recovery from a wearisome illness by caking Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People;said : ‘As lam well, known, I may say, all over the colony. I hope what I am about to say will be the means of saving other people from suffering as J did. lam working for the Government pow 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:! was too bad to leave the house at all. I suffered from - indigestion and fiver complaint. Afterdating, my food used to be like a leadbftball on my chest for hours before it would digest;.and it didn’t do me rny good. And then my liver used to trouole me a good deal; a dull heavy pain between the,shoulders, with, now and again in-the same spot. rWell, I tried lots of medicines, and wen tender several well known Sydney-doctors, but I got no better. In fact, I got worse. I became thin and yellow; slept at night only .in fits and starts, and’l hardly cared whether he ate anything or not. Once when I was laid up in the house wondeling when 1 was going to get better a friend of mine brought me some of Dr Williams’Pink Pills for Pale People. ‘They’ll be no use,’ 1 said, for I’ve tried nearly every thing.’ However, l tuok them, and, feeling animprovement I sent for some more. They fairly astonished me. In a few days my indigestion had gone entirely. Once more I could enjoy my food without fear of pain afterwards. I picked up my lost flesh, slept well at nights, and my liver at last began to work properly again and J got rid of the yellow-jaundice-looking color in my face. I havu’t 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. should 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 iny testimonial by making a statutory declaration as to its truth before a jus tice of the Peace whenever I can 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 Williams’ 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 prisei 3s a box, or six , fifties for 15s 9a. These pills are not \a purgative, ahd they contain nothing that could injure the most delicate. As a spring medicine Dr Williams’ Pink Pills far surpass all other remedies Their'action on the blood and nerves is prompt, and the effect k is wonderful. Lassitude gives way to a feeling of renewed energy, and the lurking seeds of disease, resulting from the indoor confinement 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 any any other form is a fraudulent imitation, and should be promptly refused. Buyers will protect themselves against imposition by bearing this in mind.
