A HOUSEMAID'S TRIALS.

Miss Kate McLean, a Victorian young lady, 19 years of age, up to her sixteenth birthday resided under the parental roof at Forest Creek Road, Castlemaine. About three years ago she went to Melbourne, having obtained a position as house and parlour maid. She was not destined to lead a happy existence there, however, for, though not strong before making the change, she soon fell a victim to great weakness, neuralgia and anremia —truly a formidable trio to combat. In conversation with our reporter she said : "When I came to Melbourne, just after I had passed my sixteenth birthday—three years agola-,t —I thought the change would bent fit my health, and my appointment gave me the opportunity of combining business with pleasure. "I was in a situation at Biighton, and had the full benefit of the sea air, yet in less than three months I had to give it up." " In what manner were you affected ?' " Principally in the head and nerves. The least unexpected noise would reduce me to a perfect state of uselessucss, and the minute I laid my head on the pillow at night my face would begin to ache so much tbat for weeks and weeks I did not have a night's rest. I went to a lady doctor, anil she said I had ucuj ralgia and had overworked myself. As I was a growing girl she advised a rest and a change of air. I told her I had been idle for nearly three months and had had several changes of air, running up and down from Castlemaine. However, I took her medicine and for a few months seemed to be improving. I was in hopes of being able to start work again when the old complamt returned, this time with pains all over my body that felt as if 1 had received a severe thrashing. My appetite, which had been very fair, left me completely. I could scarcely retain sufficient food to keep me alive, and my face became pale and thbby. Thcu I visited a second doctor —not a lady this time. He examined me, sounded me, and said I had a chest affection and very poor booel. Another course of medicine followed, and I went home. All sorts of medicines were tried by me without beneficial results. Last yeai I was recommended to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I took that advice, and profited by it, for after a tew boxes I was able to return to Melbourne. For eight months I have been at one place m Grey-street, Fast Melbourne, and have never had the least bit of a headache or lost a night's rest. I lose no chance of recommending Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peopla, and mai.y of my fellow servants have experienced great benefit from them. The only genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have a remarkable efficacy in curing diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the blood or an impairment of the nervous system, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, ar.d the tired feeliiur arising therefrom, the after effects of la grippe, influenza, and severe colds, diseases depending on humours in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions, and are a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, and in the case of men they effect a radical cure ia all cases arising from mental worry, over-work, and excesses of any nature. These pills arc not a purgative. They ar% genuine only with the f-jll name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and aie sold by all chemists and by Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., who will forward (post paid) on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for da or half-dozen for 15s 9J. They are never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer who offers substitutes in this form ia trying to defraud and should be avoided. See that each box is encircled by a blue warning label, and regard with distrust the man who wacts to sell you something which he says is "just as good." He only wants* a bigger profit.
