THE MUCH-TRAVELTED ONE.
♦ A LADY AS HIS RIVAL. Mr R. S. Smythk, the well-knowu entrepreneur, who has successfully introduced so many artistic celebrities to southern chores &nd southern audienots, has earned for himself, at least in Australia, the soubriquet of " the muchtravelled one." In Sydney, however, there is a lady who lias travelled very extensivrly, and whose frequent journeying, in fact, brought on an illness which ended in aufemia and general debility. We refer to Mrs Johns, of 60 Ynrong-street. " After my last journey," she says, "I began to feel very low and depressed in spirits. I could scarcely eat anything, and I bee .me very thin, whilst my face was as yellow as if I had had a severe attack of jaundice. An old friend, who met me in the street, :o':ked me ttnrght in the face and passed me l>y without recognition, 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 wraried me, and my ordinary housework bectme too much for n.e. My gums gre.v 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, ami 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 tonic, and I had several bottles of physic from him, besides other bottles of tonics which 1 obtaned from chemists ; but I grew no better. I was in this miserable and hopeless condition when I heard from someone who had heen cured by them about Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills, and I at once got some. After taking a few I was agreeably surprised to find a real and distiuct change for the better. I got rid of that miserable depression of spirits, which in itself was enough to kc-p 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 again. My colour came back, and after taking six boxes I was completely cured and found myself as strong as ever. I shall always remember my cure with gratitude, and shall, you may be ture, recommend this wonderful medicine to any of my fiiends who may have tho bad fortune to suffer as I did." Mrs Johns is now most bright and vivacious, whilst the pretty pink glow < f perfect health is noticeable upon her cheeks—a marvellous change for the better when compared with her former appearance. The action of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People is directly on the blood, and thus it is that they are so famous for the cure of ancemia, indigestion, insomnia, after-effects of.fevers, rheuma tism, weak heart, scrofula, consumption, chronic erysipelas, and for restoring pale and sallow complexions to the glow of health. They arc also a splendid nerve and spinal tonic, and thus have cured many cases of paialysis, locomotor atixy, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance, and nervous headache. They are sold by chemists, and by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., at 3s. a box, or six for 15s. 9d., but an* genuine only with the full name on each box. Sec that your chemist gives you Dr Williams' and that he does not uubstitu'e something which he says is just as good when making your purchases. The " just as good " kind co3t him less money, and he is looking out for his pocket, notyo.ir health.
