ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.

CRITICAL CONDITION OF THE VICTIM. ARREST OF THE OFFENDERS. ANOTHER addition has been made to the already long list of victims to highway robbery, which, though now less frequent than a few years back, still occasionally occurs to menace lifo and liberty. Mr \V. Le Paige, of Maudstreet, Chilnell, Geelong, Victoria, whilst driving along the highway from Pammure to Tcrang, was suddenly precipitated from his vehicle into a heap of blue metal, by which he sustained a fractured skull and other injuries to his head, subsequently dev. loping into an attack of paralysis of the bruin, which laid him low, until, at a later date, his illness was arrested by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People To a reporter of the Footscray Chronicle, Mr Lo Paige gave the following particulars of his illness and recovery : —" The cause of my being thrown was the horse taking fright and bolting," said he, " the immediate result being that I had to take to my bod for several week", months elai sing before I became convalescent, in fact I never completely recovered until rcCfntly, At times I was seized with most excruciating pains at tho base of tho skull, and so inclined to strange actions, that my friends were seriously considering the advisability of having me medically examined as to my mental condition. Brain Paralysis, some medical experts termed it, shock to tho system and nervous headaches was tho verdict of others. Change of scene was advised, and I tried all parts of Australia without success. At unexpected times I would experience severe headaches with spells of sleeplessness that often induced the mental query. 'ls life worth living ?' and I can tell you at times I felt very much inclined to tako tho answer into my own hands. Some four months since I was induced to try Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in place of sleeping draughts, and the effect has been marvellous. In less than a week my brain became clear, the headaches that bad troubled me continually disappeared, my natural rest returned, and in a few weeks I wa3 as well as During the last few weeks I havo been out continuoasly, and the hottest day has caused me no inconvenience. I don't profess to know much of drugs or medicines, but I do know that a few boxes of Dr Williams' Pink Pills did for me what doctors in and out of hospitals in three colonies failed to acoomplifh. That I am a sano man today, and in good health, I attribute to the sole use of Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills for Pale People. lam a native of Geelong, and am well-known there ; also in Melbourne and the western district* of Victoria."

Thousands have been curec of paralysis, locomotor ataxia, spinal disease, rheumatism, and sciatica; also diseases arising from impoverished and vitiated humors, of the blood, which cause scrofula, rickets, chronic erysipelas, consumption of the bowels and lung 3, anaiTiis, pale and sallow complexion, general musourir weakness, loss of appetite, palpitations, pains in the back, nervous headache, early decay, all forms of female weakness, and hysteria by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Tho genuine 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' Pink Pills for Pale People, printed in red on white paper. In case of doubt it is better to send direct to Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., enlosing the price, 3s. a box, or six boxes for 15s 9d. These pills are not a purgative, and they contain nothing that could injuro the most delicate child.
