PRACTICAL PROOF OF RESTORED VITALITY.

(See Melbourne Age of 23rd September.) One of the bicycle-thieving fraternity hired a machine from Dave, and, of course, failed to return it. A few days ago Kirk, who had been keeping a strong lookout, spied his man, and without more ado made for him. His opponent, a powerfully built fellow and of much heavier weight than he, resisted and blood flowed freely on both sides—but the victory was Kirk's. After a severe battle, he lifted the thief up bodily, placed him in a cab, and took him to the lock-up. Could greater and more convincing evidence of restored vitality be expected or given ? We venture to say not. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills restored to the sufferer tho power he had lost. They cured him of his terrible injuries and sufferings, and enabled him to "do battle " victoriously with a bigger man than himself. Kirk is able to trench a large garden, and daily walks two miles to his place of business, 471 Elizabethstreet, North. The renowned athlete never fails to give the whole credit of his recovery to that wonderful remedy discovered by Dr. Williams. The following articles, which appeared in the Melbourne papers a year ago, will illustrate the terrible condition Dave Kirk was in after the accident:—

Extract from the Melbourne Argus : " Everyone has heard of Kirk, the crack racer. About a month ago he nrst with an accident whilst training, and has been in the Melbourne Hospital ever since. The medical authorities say that he will never ride again, as his spine has been so badly hurt that he will likely be paralysed for life." Extract from the Herald :—" Dave Kirk, residing at the Coffee Palace, Vic toria-stfeet, North Melbourne, sustained severe injuries this afternoon through falling from his bicycle while training on the track at the Scotch College ground. The tire of his bicycle burst, and Kirk was thrown violently to the ground. He was removed in a cab to the Melbourne Hospital. The latter extract appeared in the Herald on the afternoon of the accident, October 9th, 1896. The former appeared in the Argus about a month later, after the physicians and authorities had placed him under treatment and discovered that his injuries had resulted in paralysis, spinal disease, and locomotor ataxia, and that he was entirely beyond their aid. His case was accordingly, by the physicians who examimed him, pronounced incurable, and they told poor Kirk that he would never rise from his bed again. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have a remarkable cflicacy in curing diseases arising from an impoverished condition of tho blood or an impairment of tho nerv ous system, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, nervous headache, nervous prostration and the tired feeling arising therefrom. They are genuine only with the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and arc sold in boxes encircling which is a blue warning label. The outside wrapper is of white paper, and is printed in red ink. Our repeated warnings may seem a trifle superfluous in the eyes of the rcidiug public, but they were nevermore needed than nor/, and the frequency with which they appear is attributable to our desire to afford our customers every protection. Imitators are in every crrncr of Australasia, and many vendors are endeavouring to pass off a hurtful substitute, as it means a larger profit to them, and the public would do well to avoid them, for they would just as readily dispense impure drugs. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are obtainable from all leading chemihts, or
