A FAIR CRITERION.

Since the days oF Eve the acquisition of pcifcct health and beauty of form has been the desideratum of every woman. Ninon de l'Enalos, the celebrated French beauty, attributed her health and beauty of form to the care which she bestowed upon her toilette. In these later days Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have come to be regarded cs an indispensible adjunct to a lady's dressiug table, and to those suffering fro.n the many ailments peculiar to her sex. Iu support of the statement, we append the case of Miss May Dickenson, who was miraculously cured of a very obstinate case of arlfemia. Miss May Dickenson was born at Soldier's Hill, Ballarat, Victoria, some 18 years ago, and lived there up to three years since, when her family removed to Tasmania, her father having purchased a selection on the ' Shortly after her arrival in the tight little island, Miss Dickenson commenced to experience very uncertain health, which, as time went on, showed no improvement, and caused her paientß considerable aux'ety. Medical advice was sought, and various tonics advised and taken, but without any noticeable result. In the early part of the year, a change of air was advised, and Miss Dickenson came back to Victoria, with a hope that her native ait would succeed when " electors' medicine " had failed. Having some relations in Essex street, Ballarat East, Miss Dickenson took up her residence with them. Still she continued unwell, and a»ain medioal advice had to be obtained Unable to toke solid nourishment, she lost flesh to such an extent as to make it a labour to undertake any exertion. Nothing is more weakening than auajmia or poorness of blood. Energy departs and leaves listIcssucss t > fill its place, the blood goes from one's lips and tongue, and a terlib'e pallor, ghastly to behold, is the result. "Could you not setk any nourishment ?" asked our representative, who met Miss Dickenson at her aunt's, Newryetreet, North Fitzroy. " Well, a little, but most of it refused to stay. I had,j.ains in my back, and had to sleep on my tide." " Did you see any medical men in Melbourne ?'' " Yes, one, who said I was overgrowing my strength, and gave mc a tonic ; but in spite of all advice and medicine, nothing would stay on my stomach. One day I was in a chemist's in Brunswickstreet getting a prescription made up, and the dispenser asked me if I had suffered much. On my replying in the affirmative, he said, ' Why don't you try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ?' Somehow that took a hold on mc, and I purchased a box and commenced to take them instead of my physic." " Did you receive benefit ? " " Yes ; bhortly aft r I commenced to take them I experienced a vast improvement, and within a few days I ato my first substantial meal for IS months. In a week I gained 61b. in weight, and I kept on improving until three weeks since when I felt justified in discontinuing them, having taken seven boxes." " And you consider yourself fully cured ? " " Undoubtedly ; and I can imagine' the surprise my friends will receive when I return to my parents next month." Complimenting Miss Dickenson on her very evident robust health, our representative retired. The action of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People is directly on the blood, and thus it is that they arc so famous for the cure of anaemia and rheumatism, weak heart, scrofula, consumption, chronic erys : pelas, and restore pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health. They are also a splendid nerve and spinal tonic, and thus have cured many case 3 of paralysis, locomotor ataxy, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance, and nervous headache. They are sold by chemists and by Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., at 3s a box, or six for 15s 9d, but are genuine only with full name on each box. See that your chemist gives you Dr. Williams' and he does not substitute something just as good when making your purchases. The " just as good " kind cost him less money, and he is looking out for his pocket, not your health.
