THE WAR.

FIERCE FIGHTING IN SPAIN. AN AMERICAN OFFICER'S PROMPT ACTION SAVES MANY LIVES. It is greatly to be regretted that the Spaniards should have allowed their senses to become subservient to their anger. That such is the case is borne out by the cables notifying that several cities have been placed under martial law. " A Kingdom divided against itself cannot stand," much less conquer its opponents. Particulars of the prompt action of United States Officer, Colonel P. A. Hoffman, which resulted in the saving of life, are just to hand. It appears that Colonel Hoffman, who now carries two bullets in his body, and had prior to the present war seen a great deal of hard service, gave his advice to all sufferers from indigestion to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, to the use of which alone he attributed his general good health, and said he, " they are p Godsend to all people, as they build up the system and help digestion." This opinion was given by Colonel Hoffman immediately he had praved the value ofi Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in his own case, and there is no doubt that his advice promptly given has resulted in the saving of many valuable lives. But for Dr. Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People, Mr David Robertson, of Byron-street, Kew, Victoria, could not at the ripe age of 80 years ha ye successfully resisted the effects of an 18 months' war waged upon him by that dread enemy of peace and health—Rheumatism. He was attacked most virulently by rheumatism, first in the right knee, next in the left hip, and then in the shoulders, wrists, hands, knees, and legs. He was rendered entirely helpless. Every friend he had reeommended different remedies in turn—sulphur, kerosene, outwardly and inwardly, citric acid, marsh mallow fomentations, hot sea baths, several bottles of a largelyadvertised cure for rheumatism, and other articles were all tried without the slightest benefit accruing. Ultimately, Mr Robertson came to the conclusion that his ailment was incurable. A little while later, however, a friend induced him to try Dr. Williams' Pinu Pills. He followed the directions carefully and patiently, and in about three weeks or a month after first taking them he noticed a considerable improvement in his condition ; he had then taken two boxes. He persevered with the remedy, and, little by little, his ailment gave him less and less trouble. .ffe continued in 'this manner until he bad taken about 10 or 11 boxes, the time occupied being from six to seven months. At this stage every trace of rheumatism had left him, and he was absolutely and perfectly cured in every particular. He is now quite free from pain. Mr Robertson, in conclusion, said he had recommended l)r. Williams' Pink Pills to many of his friends, and they had received most beneficial results from their use. He was well known in the locality, and would certainly continue to recommend them. This case is one which amply demonstrates the marvellous curative properties of this universal medicine under the most adverse circumstances. If an old gentleman of 80 yqars of age can be cured of rheumatism, what may not be effected in those cases in which the sufferer is a much younger man or woman ? The answer is too obvious to need insertion. A iemarkable 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, and the tired feeling therefrom, the after-effects of la grippe, influenza, dengue fever, and s-evere cold", diseases depending on humors in the Hood, such as scrofula, chroivc erysipelas, &c., is possessed by Dr. Williams' Pink Fills for Pale People, which give a healthy glow to pale ami sallow complexions. They are a specific for the troub'es peculiar to the female syatem, and 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. They an; 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, N.Z., who will forward (post paid) on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for three shillings, or half-a-doz'.-n for sixteen and sixpence. A trial of our remedy will convince the most sceptical person of its true worth.
