A LADY ATTACKED AND ROBBED AT BALLARAT.
—.>. Tiik following remarkable communication has reached us from the mining centre of Ballarat :—A young lady, daughter of one of the oldctt residents and miners, Miss Fanny Simpson, of Victoria-street, says : " 1 was attacked by the most excruciating pains in my sides, and vomiting which followed immediately after every meal. Mother took me to the hospital, and she was told my kidneys were affected. The doctor said I had inflammation of the kidneys and incipient consumption ; but the medicine he gave me relieved me only fur a time, and that in a month I was as bad as ever. From that time unttl nine mot)'lis since I have had a continual sequence of sicknesses, and have been entirely robbed of good health. I have seen several doctors at different times, and one would describe my complaint as one thing and another as something else. However, the last two seen decided I was suffering from Bright's disease of the kidneys, and commenced to treat me for such. But the more medicine I took the worse 1 got. " Last March I noticed in a chemist's window in Sturt-street some boxes of Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills for Pale People, and both mother and I, having heard so much of their virtues, we decided to try a box, as mother said if they could bring some colour to my cheeks they would effect a remarkable achievement. We purchased some then and there, and 1 started to take them. Tne improvement was not long iu asserting itself, and father was so plea ed that he got me six more. I tcok the lot, and was thoroughly cured. Mother and father never expected me to recover ; in fact, it was thought I was dying, and I attribute mv restoration to health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, they hav3 worked wonders." This medicine has cured more than seventy-five hundred cases of diseases aiising from impoverished blood, such a 3 ana'tnia, pale and fallow complexion, musculot weakness, depression of spirits, loss of appetite, palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath, pains in the back, nervous headache, loss of memory, early decay, all forms of female weakness, hysteria, paralysis, locomotor ataxy, rheumatism and sciatica, scrofula, rickets, hip-joint diseases, chronic erysipelas, consumption of the bowels and hmgs. The public will study their own interests by demanding the genuine Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills fur Pale People. Imitators are now in every corner of Australasia, and unscrupulous dealers deceive the public when they s'ate that anything else is " just a 3 good." The genuine pills are sold only in boxes bcaiing the firm's trade mark. They are never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer who offers substitutes in this form is trying to defraud you, and should be avoided. Ask your dealers for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Pcorle, and refuse all imitations and substitutes. Failing to secure the genuine send to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., who will forward, on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for 35., or half-dozen for 15s 9(1. The price at which these pills ore sold makes a course of treatment comparatively inexpensive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment.
