HINTS ON BEAUTY.
A PARISIAN PRESCRIPTION. " To be piquant and pretty " (says a well-known fashion writer in a Parisian contemporary) " several complements are necessary. Silk and satins, laces, and jewels, are in themselves but a small adjunct to beauty if ladies but ouly knew it To my mind the first and most indisprnsible adjunct is a smiling, deli-cately-tinted face, a sprightly step, and an abundance of vivacity. Mrs Johns, for instance, is a pretty and vivacious young lady of about 25 years of age, and in answer to the questions put to her, she said :—" I have been very ill, but at present I am enjoying excellent health and Rpirits. Imb cd I don't know that I ever felt better in my life. I can safely say that I owe my satisfactory recovery entirely to Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills. The first cause of my illness was, I think, the worry and extra work cause 1 by moving from place to place, for I have been a great traveller during the last year or two. Anyhow, after my last journey I began to ftel very low and depressed in spirits ; I could eat scarcely anything, and began to get very thin. And as far as my colour—well, I was as ye How as if I had a severe fit of the jaundice. Au o'd friend of mine, who met me in the street, looked me straig l t in the face and passed me by without recoguition, and she was positively shocked when I ran after her and told her who I really was. I got from bad to worse ; the least exertion wearied me, and my ordinary housework became too much for me. My gums grew quite white, and my lips looked a blueish grey colour. My sleep was restless and disturbed, and I was so tired in the mornings that I could hardly get out of bed, and when I did I used to lay on the sofa, feeling I hardly cared what happened to me. I saw a doctor who said I needed a strong touic, and I had several bottles of physic from him, besides other bottles of tonics which I obtained from chemists ; but I grew no better. I was in tliij miserable and hope'ess condition when I heard from someone who had been cured by them about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and lat once gut some. After taking a few I was agreeably surprised to find a real and distinct change for the better I got rid of that miserable depression ot spirits, Ahich in itself was enough to keep me ill, and in a few days I was able to sleep the night through without interruption. The Pills, "too, gave me a good appetite, and I began slowly to get cheerful and fat agaiu. My colour came back, Mid after taking isix boxes I was completely cured and found myself as strong as ever. I shall always remember tny cure with gratitude, and shall, you may be sure, recommend this wonderful medicine to any of my friends who may hive the bad fortune to suffer as I did."
Mrs Johns resides at CO Yurongstreet, Sydney. The genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold only in wooden boxes, about two inches in length, encircling which is a blue warning label. The outside wrapper has the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, printed in red. In case of doubt it is better to send dirtct to the Dr. Willi uns' Modi cine Company, Wellington, N.Z., enclosing the price, 3s a box, or six boxes for 15s 9d.
These pills arc not a purgative, and they contain nothing that could injure the most delicite. They positively cure the effects of influenza, colds, etc., and are a certain cure for indigestion, insomnia, general debility, headaches of all kinds, neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, lumbago and other ailments.
As a summer medicine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills fir surpass all other remedies. Their action on the blood and nerves is prompt and the effect is wonderful. Lassitude gives way to a feeling of renewed eneruy, and the lurking seeds of disease are speedily expelled from the fystem. These pills are sold only iu boxes, the wrapper around which bears the full trade'mark, •• Dr. Williams'Pink Pills for Pale People." A pill, even if coloured pink, offered in any other form is a fraudulent imitation and should be promptly refused.
