A TASMAN/AN MIRACLE. _ » ■

PARTIAL PARALYSIS AND WHOLE I'ROSTRATION ENTIRELY CURED. DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS CREATE A SENSATION IN HOBART. (From the Hobart Clipper.) Henry Dixon Clarke, a native of Hobart, Tasmania, tells a story of a cure effected by the use of the now famous Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which, in its marvellous details, proves the adage that truth is stranger than fiction. Twelve years ago he fell from the scaffolding of a building in course of erectiou in Collins-street, Melbourne, and was taken to the hospital insensible. He recovered, and was sent home. The next morning he was too stiff to go_ to work, and resolved on resting a while. The next day he was worse, and in addition to feeling feverish and unwell, was seized with twitching pains in the back whenever he attempted to straighten himself. These increased in virulence, and were accompanied with intense pains in the He lost the use of his left arm, and partially that of his left leg, as well as a feeling of numbness all down the side, extending from the shoulder to the region of the abdomen. Electricity was tried amongst other things, but without relief. So much was he insensible to outward agencies that he could bear the application of the battery to his arm to any degree without feeling it. To use his own expression, " You could jab a needle into my arm and I could not feel it." He was given up as a hopeless paralytic by,the medical fraternity of Melbourne after he had spent his last shilling in trying to get better. He then resolved on coming over to Tasmania at the request of his relatives in the faint hope that the climate might, perhaps, give him relief. But years dragged on, and his sufferings were without end. ,: I thought," said he " frequently of COMMITTING SUICIDE, rather than continue to be a burden upon my friends, for my miserable plight was exceedingly depressing, as well as painful. I found relief in a sense of the word by sitting on the verandah in the sun ; but when I saw my friends go past to work it only made me the more miserable, for I was always a very active man. There are not a few who remember the pale and wietched object I was, seated in the verandah of my mother's house in Macquarie-street, and many can testify to the marvellous cures which took place. I got hold of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and took four boxes of them. One morning I found I could lift my arm quite easily. It all came on in the night, and then I began to feel better right off. In about a week from when the change set in the pains had left me altogether, and I cannot describe to you the relief I felt both in body and mind. A fortnight later and I could walk about and eat well. I had another sensation then, which was new to me—the feeling of hope. Only those who have passed an ovdeal like mine can tell what that actually means." *• What doctors did you have to attend you ?" " I would tell you, but. perhaps they wouldn't care to have their names, mentioned in a case like mine, which they turned up as hopeless. But I spent in all £l7O, and being then a beggar, came home to die. Now there is no fear of my being reduced to beggary again, and as for dying, I'm not going to throw a seven yet for a long while, I can assure you. I am going to work next week round at the West Coast—a job a friend got for me—-so you see what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People hive done for me. I say—and I say it advisedly—and all who know me say so too, that it is the moat marvellous thing of the kind that is going. You are welcome to make what use you like of this I can tell you lam heartily thankful for my recovery—more than I can describe to you."
