A BOTANY BAY EPISODE.

Botany Bay, the scene of so many interesting things in the early history of the colonics, has again come to the fore with a sensation. The heroine of the same is Miss G. Harris, who it appears has been suffering for a long time with a complication of ailments, the result of a cold. To a reporter sent to get particulars .Miss Harris said : " Until within the last two or three years I was always in the best of health, and I fear that what occasioned my illness was a cold I contracted in going from Paramatta to Ashfichl. 1 commenced quite suddenly, as it seemed to me, to suffer from indigestion and constipation, which were my chief ailments. 1 had a pallid appearance, and invariably a tired, weary feeling, and also suffered horrible torments from racking headaches. I went to several doctors in Paramatta, but none of them did me any good. 1 also consulted a specialist, with a like result, I then tried a large amount of homeopathic medicine, but it appeared to me to be a sheer waste of money. I then went in for a muchvaunted and largely-advertised liquid specific, which had not the slightest effect upon me ; in fact, I threw the greater portion of it. away in disgust. " 1 was now positively wasting away, and feared was going off into a galloping consumption.

" One afternoon, towards the begin ning of January of this year (1897), on glancing through the columns of the Evening News an advertisement headed ' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People ' caught my eye, and I read it through with interest, as I recognised that in two or three accounts of where cures had been effected the ea es were almost identical with my own. Anyhow, I determined to get some as a forlorn hope, with what results 1 will tell you." "Did you experience any benefits ui'Ur the first box, Miss Harris ':'' " 1 can hardly say 1 did, but something induced me to go on with them, and I thought, at any rate, I ought to give them a fair trial. After the second box 1 felt decidedly better, so naturally I went on with them. My appetite improved wonderfully. -My mother will tell you that prior to taking the Pink Pills I did not cat enough to keep a baby alive, and it distressed her beyond measure to see my poor appetite, it pained me so much to swallow that J could only exist on slops, milk and arrowroot being my chief nutriment." " You, of course, continued with the Pills all the time. -Miss Harris ?"

" Oh, certainly : for 1 was feeling better day by day, and I might say, without exaggeration in the slightest, after each dose.'' " You certainly do not look like an invalid now, Miss Harris." "I do not feel like one either. All this good has been effected by that sin pie remedy, 'Dr. Wi Hams' Pink Pills,' which 1 think no household should be without. I have already persuaded man}' of my friends to purchase them ; it has been an easy task, for they .'.to how well I am looking, and how different I am in health ami spirits, and 1 sup po.-e they think that the proof of the pudding lies in the eating. Of course, 1 tell them all that it is Dr. Williams' Fink Pills, ami they alone, that have made me feel as 1 do, ami look as J am " At this stage Mrs Harris interposed : " It is certainly quite true, all that my daughter has stated. She is ever so much better, and looks like herself once more. I cannot say too much in praise of the marvellous medicine that has restored her to health and strength. The gratifying results following the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the case of Miss Harris prove that they are unequalled as a blood purifier and uer\e tonic. lu the case of young girls who are pale and .sallow, listless, troubled with a palpitation or fluttering of the heart, weak and easily tired, no time should be lost in taking a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which will speedily enrich the blood and bring a rosy glow of health to the cheeks. They arc a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities, and all forms of weakness. These Pills are genuine utibj with the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Tills for' Palp. People, and are sold by chemists and by Dr. Wilhains' Medicine Company, Wellington, 25./., who will forward "(post paid) on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for 3s, or mx for l.« y.i. They invigorate the system after overwork, worry and indiscretions of living.
