HE WENT TO THE RUSH.

A 0001) GOLOPIELDS YARN. Many a good yarn is told by miners of the old digging days in Victoria when money was thrown about like water, and when scarcely a fortnight passed without some phenomeual find or rush being reported. Perhaps the bFSt story of this class we have come across is one wc clip from a contemporary (says a Victorian journal). The gentleman most interested, Mr J. A. Francis, of 191 Heidlc-berg-road, Clifton Hill, Victoria, went to the Mount Brown rush early in 1882, and he has also prospected in Parker's United Jordons and on the Old Shamrock. Speaking of the journey, Mr Francis says :■ " My trip to the interior resulted in my returning with little specie and an attack of general debility, owing to insufficient food and bad water, which afterwards settled into what the medical officers of the Ballarat hospital (which I attended as an out-patient), pronounce! a bad case of sciatica. " I was living then at Black Hill, and for some years suffered the most excruciating pair.?. At times the attack was most agonising physically, and compelled me to assume the appearance of a bow." " Early in the current year," resumed Mr Eraneis, " I came to Melbourne and tcok up my residence with my married daughter here at Clifton Hill. She suggested that, as I had tried all other remedies and doctors had failed to accomplish any good, I should give the Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial. I obtained a bcx from a storekeeper in Prahran, and after the first day, although I had a severe attack on me, the improvement commenced. I kept at them constantly until I had taken three boxes. That was in March last, and .since then I have been entirely free from sciatica and general debility in any shape or form." " You believe your cure to be complete ? " "So complete that I am seriously thinking of taking a run over to South Africa."

"In similar cases you would recommend Dr. Williams' Pink IHUs as a remedy ? " " Most decidedly." The case of Mr Francis is one of many. Especially to old miners, and to all having outdoor exercise, do we point this moral. They are genuine only with the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and are sold by all chemists and by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, New Zealand, who will forward (post paid), on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for 3s, or half-dozen for 15s 9d. A remarkable elHcacy 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 and the tired feeliug therefrom, the after-effects of la grippe, influenza, dengue fever, and tevere colds, diseases depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, ehrouic erysipelas, etc., is possessed by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which give a healthy glow to pale and fallow complexions. They are a .specific for the troubles peculiar to the female systtm, aud in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, over-work, and excesses of any nature. A trial of our remedy will convince the most sceptical.
