THE VALUE OF ADVICE.
" You can always get plenty of advice because it doesn't cost anything, oud consequently isn't of any value." Thus say many cynical people with whom the world has not gone very well. But cynics frequently make mistakes in forgetting that exceptions prove the rule. The advice of one friend to another is sometimes of inestimable value. Mr Tate, of Ithica Cottage, Illawarra Road, Marrickville, has proved the truth of the remark. " I was suffering fearfully from influenza and its after-effects," he says. " A friend recommended me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I did so, and im now completely cured. After thirty years' immunity from trouble, influenza gripped me, and it gripped me pretty tight. Without warning, I suddenly became ill. I always had a first-class appetite ; it left mc altogether. Positively I could eat nothing at all. Heavy headaches attacked me, and they continued to increase in violeuce ; a spasm shot across my chest and an overpowering weight oppressed me there ; I felt a sickening contraction of the skin and an ominous gathering of phlegmatic matter that choked free respiration ; my whole chest, once firm and sound, became sore, tender, and irritable ; I found myself unable to sleep, whilst on top of all these strange and unaccountable sensatious came a sharp and persistent cough that sucked up all my strength and stirred the phlegm, but failed to move it. Dull, heavy, listless, faint, and aching, I went to work and got through somehow. A friend recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I took them. After a few boxes had been taken I was, honestly, completely cured. I kept on taking them a little longer, just to make doubly sure, but there was no necessity, I was absolutely cured, felt tip-top, and had bade farewell to influenza and its ills. "Yes," he said deliberatingly, "the marvel had been quicker than ever I had anticipated. Influenza, headaches, sleeplessness, want of appetite, listless-, ncss, racking cough, chest pains, weakness, and phlegm all disappeared as if under a magician's wand. I was as right, as fresh, as healthy, and as highspirited as I ever was in my life. " Of course," he said conscientiously, "It's only a fair thing that I should tell you this pfter the benefits I've received. My case may not have been as severe as some, but it certainly gave myself and family the greatest anxiety, as my cure gave them the greatest surprise and pleasure. I give you these particulars exactly as they occurred, without exaggeration and with truth in every detail. Nor do I wish them exaggerated. Indeed, there is no necessity ; the cure was a good one, and speaks for itself. More or better I cannot say." A remarkable 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 severe colds, diseases depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, &c, is possessed by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which give a healthy glow to pale acd sallow complexions. They are genuine only with the fiql 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) ou receipt of stamps or post order,
