CHAT WITH A COMPOSITOR.

HIS EXPERIENCES OF LIFE. Life as seen from a compositor's frame makes interesting reading for the outside public. Few have so frequently the opportunity of studying the manuscripts of well-known men and women—leaders of science, politics, literature and fashion—as the patient type-sstter. And his impressions on life are always worth listening to. Perhaps he catches a literary fragment from the manuscripts before him, and eo always has a fund of recollections to draw upon. A compositor well-known in colonial press circlesMr William Eastwood, of Stanley-street, South Brisbane—lately gave our reporter some interesting items :—" I have been lately employed on the Brisbane Telegraph," said Mr Eastwood, and have had a good deal of experience. Eight years ago, as a result no doubt of confinement indoors, the first symptoms of what afterwards proved a serious complaint, manifested themselves. My right breast was the first' place to warn me of coming danger. In that region I suffered pains of an acute, darting character, which seemed to increase when in a recumbent position, particularly when I lay on my right side. Doctors prescribed, but their remedies proved futile. Instead of feeling beneficial effects, the symptoms became more aggravated. The pain increased to other varts of my body, even my neck being affected, 'as well as the right shoulder. I became so ill that I was incapacitated from performing my daily avocation. I.distinctly remember being troubled with some sort of a cough, and this alarmed me still further, and my worst fears were realised when the doctor diagnosed my complaint as the primary stages of consumption. First, however, they told me I had inflammation of the liver. Being absolutely convinced that the medical profession, so far as I had dealings with them, were entirely ignorant of the real nature of my complaint, I resolved to let Nature take her course—to either wear the complaint off, or else let death be the result ; and, indeed, I fully expected to die. Two years passed slowly away, and life was becoming a burden. A friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but I had grown morose and hope had died within me. At last, however, I was persuaded to try the pills. Two boxes were all I had taken when I felt a little relieved. Indeed, so lost in despair was I, that I never dreamt they would cure me. But I continued taking the pills. Then my appetite was restored, and I at last, after many years, enjoyed a good hearty meal. Slowly but surely the symptoms of my former complaint began to disappear, and my friends marvelled at my recovery. lam positively certain that this beneficial change was brought about by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills tor Pale People, and to-day my general good health, and, I flatter myself, my personal appearance, amply testify to my restoration to sound and perfect health. To anyone suffering the symptoms I experienced and now detail, 1 strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I feel convinced that I absolutely owe my life to them."
