He Went to the Rush.

A GOOD GOLDFIELDS YARN. Many a good yarn is told by miners os the old digging days in Victoria when money was thrown about like water, ane when scarcely a fortnight passed wibhoui some phenomenal find or rush being reported. Perhaps the best story of this class we have come across is due we clip from a contemporary ( says a Victorian journal). The gentleman most interested, Mr J. A. Francis, of 191 Heidleberg road, Clifton Hill, Victoria, ent to Alt. Brown rush early in 1882, and he has also prospected in "Parkers Uni ed Jordons aud on the Old Shamrock. Speaking of the journey, Mr Faancis says : - My trip to the interior resulted in ray returning with little specie, and an attack of general debility owing to insufficient food and bad water, which afterwards settled into what the medical officers of the Ballaiat hospital ( which I attend'd as an out-patient), pronounced a bad case of sciatica. ‘ I was living then at Black Hill, and for so me years suffered the most excruciating pains. At times the attack was most agonising physically* and compelled me to assume the appearance of a bow. - -•

‘Early ; n the current year/resumed Mr Fran< s/ I came to Melbourne, and took up my residence wiih my married daughter here at Clifton Hill, she suggested that, as I had tried all other remedies, and doctors had failed to do liny good, I should give the Dr Williams Pink Pills a trial. I obtained a box from a storekeeper in Prahran, and after the first day, and although I had a severe attack on me, the improvement commenced. I kept at them constantly until I had taken three boxes. That, was in March last, and siuce then I have been entirely free from sciatica and general debility in any shape or form.”

“You believe your cure to be complete?” • “So complete that I am seriously thinking of taking a run over to South Africa.”

11 . In similar cases you would recommend Dr Williams’ Fink Pills as a remedy!” *• Most decidedly.?’ Hhe case of Mr Francis is one of tnany. Especially to old miners, and to all having outdoor exercise, do we point this moral. They are genuine r only with the full name, Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, a d are sold by all chemists and by the Dr Williams’ Medicine Company, Wellington, who will forward(post paid), on receipt pf stamps or post order, one box for 35.,0r, halfdozen for 15s 9d. A remarkable efficacy in curing diseases arising from impoverished condition of the blood or an inpayment of the nervous system such as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus’ dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, and the tired feeling fcherefr,om, the after-effects of la grippe, influenza, dengue fever, and severe colds, diseases depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofulr, chronic erysiplas, etc., is possessed by Dr Williams’ Pink Pill for Pale People, which give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions. They are a specific for the troubles peculiar tq the female system, and in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, and excesses of any nature. A trial of pur remedy will convince the most sceptical.
