HIS BIGGEST BATTLE

Daring the last few years I have metmany exponents of the fistic art, anti only the other day it was my good fortune to-com© across jMr Beattie, whose ring experiences have been freely chronicled in the press. So said a representative of the Balmain Observer, who hah called on the gentleman at his residence, 32 Broughamstreet, Glebe, Sydney* to get some special inferrnatcon. “ You must know,” remarked Mr Beattie, “ that I have held the amateur lightweight championship, and, in my time, have fought most of the best men iu the colony. When training for the lightweight charapisnship of the colony I broke down, of course through over-training. ' The very thought.of a : boxing glove or a punching bag made me feel sick. I abanali hope of the- championship, and took a complete rest. My arms and legs had given way, as it were, and I felt it was about as much as I could do to walk up as far as the park (close by), and sit .down: ‘ I got into a veiy low state, my ihish lost its . firmness and elasticity, my appetite, was very poor, and .I thought my fighting career was over for good. I tried seveal tonics, hut instead of getting , better, tbe opposite resulted, so I consulted two or. three doctors who, said I only wanted rest, aed they each in turn gave me some phj'sic, but this only made me feel sick. . It did me no good. One day T was sitiiug in the park in a hopeless sort of a way, wonderingif I should ever get my strength back, when I read. in . a newspaper the account of a dure in a base which seemed somewhat similar to my own. The remedy used was Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, I bought a box. After taking 1 a dozen pills or so, I noticed a most decided effect They acted like a pick-me-up. I stuck to the pills, and got ' stronger and more cheerful every day. I got back my lost appelite, and soon grew so well that I actually felt a longing to having a turn at the punching-bag again. I took four bbxes 'altogether and feel now as fit as a fiddle, and I intend to start training again almost immediately. I am Burn ''that Dr Williams’ Pink Pills have put me right, and I consider them a splendid tonic for those indulging in heavy work, such as training, for I 'believe that strict training is the heaviest aud most trying work in the world. I shall- always recommend Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People to my fellow athlete mheu they go off 'color.” - ' *' * '■. ' 'T-' *

'' The action of I)iy WUUams% Pink Pills for Pale. People is directly oh the blood, and thus it is that they are so famous for the cure of anaemia and rheumatism, weak heart, scrofula consumption, chronic erysipelas, and restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health. They are . also a splendid nerve.and spinal tonic, and thus, have cured many cases of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, neuralgia, St Yitus’ dance, and nervous headache. They are sold py chemists, and by Dr Williams’ Medicine Company, W ellington,N.Z-, at 3s. a box, or sixfoi* 15s 9d., but are gentine only with full name on each.box, ~ , See that your chemist gives you Dr Williams’ and he does Dot substitute something just,as good Vhen making your purchases. The ‘ jusjt as goed ’-, kind cost him less money, and he is looking out for his pocket, not your health '
