A CONSUMPTIVE'S AWFUL EXPERIENCE.

AFTER ENDURING EXCRUCIATING TORTURES OF MINI) AND BODY 13 RESCUED FROM AN UNTIMELY GRAVE BY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE. HIS STATEMENT TAKEN ON OATH Towards the end of 1890, Mr Terry (a hero of the Crimean War), now 06 years of age, was t.iken very ill, and his friend 3 kuew that that awful disease, Consumption, had him in its fearful grasp, and prompt and effective remedial measures were an absolute necpssity. An effective remedy wia discovered iu Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peop'e, and Mr Terry enjoys perfect health, and is once more hale and hearty. To a reporter of The Australian Military Gazette Mr Terry gave the following'account of his illness and marvellous cure : " I arrived in Australia in the latter end of 1877 in H.MS. Sipphire, the Hon. Captain Merry. I then joined the Diamond, under Captain Dale, on this s f ation, and on leaving the ship quitted the service for good, having in all served in' seventeen ships in Her Majesty's Royal Navy. In August of this year (1896) I found myself at Emu Plains, being in the employ of Messrs M'Grath, fellmongers. It was whilst there that I was taken ill, towards the latter end of August. I attributed my illness to exposure. My first symptoms were coughing, a spitting of blood, and a bloody discharge from the kidneys of the consistency of jelly. One man there was particularly kind to me, and constantly stayed up with me all night, giving me eucalyptus to inhale, and continuously rubbing it into my chest, throat, and stomach. The man said he didn't think I'd last lone if I stayed at Emu Plains, and advised me to go into a hospital. Feeling that he was like a true prophet, I followed his advice, came to Sydney, and took up my abodb at 453, Kentstreet, where I am still living. On my p-rrival in Sydney I suffered from great pains iu the back and sides, and also under the ribs. I could take no solid food, and entirely subsisted on eggs and new milk. I went to consult a doctor whose rooms I could have reached under ordinary circumstances in ten minutes, but was so ho:ribly weak that it took me an hour and ten minutes to get there. He told me to strip, which I did, and he then sounded me and asked me how long I had been bad. I told him that from the first it was about eight weeks, upon which he said, " it's chronic." Fe suggested that I should go to a hospital at once, but I declined and returned home. I had medicine prescribt-d for me of various kinds, which proved quite ineffectual, and afforded mo no relief whatever. I took no less than seven bottles of eucalyptus, and even chlorodyne was prescribed for me. I fell away lamentably, perspired profusely, and could not obtain any sleep. I was in such pain that I could not shift in bed. My right side was much the worse, and my breathing was most laboured and painful. Friends would call anri stay with me for three or four hours at a time. One of them read to me the account of Boilermaker Jarvis'B wonderful recovery by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I at once procured a box. I had taken all but two, when the blood-spitting aud emission ceased. After two boxes I was able to get up and walk about, and now, at the end of s : x boxes, the cure was almost complete. The cure was MAGICAL, and I tell all my friends and the general public that nothing but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills brought me before them to advocate the temperance question, and oa each occasion I have met with a great reception. l_Mr Terry here called our reporter's attention to the amount of useless physic he had consumed, and, indeed, the amount of bottles reminded one of the interior of a chemist's shop]. I can speak in the highest possible terms of the marvellous curative properties of the Pink Pills. On my visits to, and lectures in the country, I shall consider it my duty to suffering humanity to recount my astounding cure, and I trust I may be the means of saving the life of many a despairing mortal. CHAS. TERRY." [Signed on oath and in the presence of Charles Lovely, J.P.]. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured more than 7500 cases of diseases arhing from impoverished blood, such as ajasumia, pale and sallow complexion, muscular weakuess, depression of spirits, loss of appetite, palpitation of the heart, pains iu 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 dis ases, chronic erysipelas, consumption of the bowels and lungs. The genuine pills are so'd only in wooden boxes, about 2 inches in length, in a white wrapper, with the full name, Dr. W i'liains' Pink Pills for Tale People, printed in red. They are never sold in bulk, or from glass jars, aud any dealer who offers substitutes in this form should be avoided. In case of doubt, it is better to send direct to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z , enclosing the price, 3s a box, or six boxes for 153 9.1. These pills are not a purga tive, and they ceil tain nothing that cculd injurs the most delicate.
