A MILK-CARTER'S LIFE.

EXPOSED TO ALL WEATHERS. We clip the following interesting letter from a contemporary : The life of a milk-carter is undoubtedly one of change and variance, as far as the weather is concerned at any rate. Thinking that tha experiences of such a personage might prove entertaining to our readers, we last week sent a representative to interview Mr Walter Tye, of 33 McArthur-street, Ultimo, Sydney. «' I am a milkman, by trade," said Mr Tye, "and ride on the cart when distributing milk. We serve a very long round. You can readily see that the very nature of my occupation compels me to be out in all sorts of weather, for whatever happens we must not disappoint our customers. It is some 18 months ago that, after being out in very inclement weather, I commenced to suffer from aching agonies in limbs and body, and flying pains and stiffness in the joints ; and I also experienced sudden chills, generally succeeded by heavy pweats. The pain I suffered was so severe that sleep was an impossibility, and should I doze off I would be suddenly aroused by spasms in the muscles of the joints in which the rheumatism was worst. I had the best medical advice, and the premises of a wellknown chemist were fairly ransacked in search of a specific that would tend to alleviate my agony. To make a long story short, I was la ; d up for 12 months. " Relief, however, at last arrived, aud from an unexpected quarter. " Boiler-maker Jarvis and his wife are near neighbours of ours, and I had read of his wonderful recovery from locomotor ataxia by the agency of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Thinking they might possibly have a bfnefisial effect in my own case, I determined to try them, and did so. It was not until after the third box that I experienced any decided change for the better, but you must bear in mind that mine was a case of long standing, aud, it was teared, one that might become chronic. My health then improved by leaps and bounds, and I am now, as you can see, strong and hearty. I took in all, eight boxes. " The nature of my business calls for the display of considerable activity, and I am pleased to state that I have had no return of my old symptoms, and can face the coming winter without any anxiety." " Havewe your permission to publish these particulars, Mr Tye?" " Certainly you have." Mr Tye, senior, strongly corroborated the story as to his son's complete and permanent recovery from rheumatism, solely through the agency of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. A.perfect blood-builder and a nerve restorer are to be found in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They positively cure such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, the after-effects of influenza, dengue and typhoid fevers, and severe colds, diseases depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. Pink Pills give a healthy glow to pile and sallow complexions, and are a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, and in the case of nieu effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, over-work, or excesses of any nature. Ask your dealers for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and refuse all imitations and substitutes. Sold by chemista and storekeepers generally, or the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington. New Zealand, will forwaid, on receipt of stamps or post order, one box for three shillings, or half a-dozen for sixteen and sixpence.
