CHERISHED BELONGINGS.

" That velvet sachet contains a nuirber of letters written mc by my old schoolmate—dear little Alice ! You'il remember her ? I wonder where she is now ? ,And this fine o'd gold chain—well, my sweet mo'.her gave »u that on my 16th birthday, ami, naturally whou I look at it, my mind travels back many }ears." The letters anil chain were two items in the effects of Mrs Barry, who was showing them to her dearest frie-d. The scene is now changed. In this instance, Mrs Lardelli is just running through her belongings, and gazes with eyes full of affection upon a little wooden box. She lives at 162 Dowling-street, Sydney, and will tell you that the box once contained the famous specific, Dr. Williams' Fink Pills for Tale People, which raised her from a condition of severe suffering to health and hr.ppines?. Mrs Lardelli, a fine, handsome woman of about 35 years of age, said to a reporter of the Balmain Observer, who called upon her to get particulars of an illness through which she had just p.iFsed, "I am qui;e well now, and don't think I ever Fnjoycd better health—thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People ; but I was very bad iudeed. The first start of my i lucss was loss of appetite,and as 1 a'so began to feel a bit low in spirits occasionally, and also was growing rather pale. I went to a chenvst • "Why,'.he said, 'you're aiuemic,' and he showed me in |the looking-glass how white my gums were getting, alto the bad colour of the inside of my eyelids. He said, ' You waub a strong tonic,' and he gave me one. However, I continued to get paler and more sickly-looking, my appetite grew gradually less and less till I felt I hardly cared whether I ate anything or not, and when I did manage to pet a little food down, it seemed to stick like a hard lump on my chest. I was losing flesh rapidly, and was growing so weak that I could hardly get out of bed in the mornings, and when I did do a little work, it knocked me up completely, and I had to go and lie down on the bed to recover. At last everything became a trouble to me, and I got into a low, hopeless sort of stale, and hardly cared what became of me. Nearly all the time I had stiff.red from a peculiar dull pain in my back, so I made an effort and went to another chemist and asked him what this pain meant. He told me my liver was out of order, and he gave me some pills and medicine ; but these did me no good at all. Altogether, I suppose I must have tried a dozen different kinds of medicine without any good effect. You have no idea what a wretched state I was in by this time. I used to lie down all day on the sofa, hardly able to move anything but my eyes. However, I could read, and it was because of an account of a remarkable cure that I saw in the Dailv Telegraph that I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I sent my daughter for a box. In It ss than a week's time there was a great difference, I can assure you. My friends congratulated me on a change for the better in my appearance. I continued the pills, and very soon I was able to do a little work again. My appetite came back, and a sdght tinge of colour appeared in my checks. I got slowly, tut surely, better every day, and in about two months' time was completely cured, and f< It as brisk and lively as a girl of 18. As I hive said before, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People did this for me when lots of other medicines failed to do me any good at all, and I shall always recommend them to my friends. I give my full permission to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company to publish the facts of my cure wherever and whenever they may think fit. "E. LARDELLI." The genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold only in wooden boxes, about two inches in length, each of which is encircled by a blue warning label. The outside wrapper has the full name, Dr. Williams' P.nk Pills for Pale People, printed in red. In case of doubt it is better to send direct to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, New Zealand, enclosing the price, 3s a box, or six boxes for 15s 9d. The e pills are not a purgative, and they contain nothiug that could injure the moat 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 is wonderful. Lassitude gives way to a feeling of re uewed energy, and the Unking seer's of disease, resulting from the indoor confinement of tl:e 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 TVh for Pale People." A rill, even if coloured pink, offered in any other form, is a fraudulent imitation, and should be. promptly refused. Buyers will pro'ect themselves against imposition by bearing this in mind.
