FEVER, AGUE AND SCIATICA AT HAWERA.

«. DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS EFFECT ANOTHER GREAT CURE. A case worthy of special mention is that of Mr George Millard Walker, wellknown in and about Hawera, New Zealaud. Mr Walker, when interviewed, said he was 53, and had travelled all over the colonies during the last 65 years. As a soldier and gold-miner, he had endured great hardships. He came to NewZealand as a private in the 50Ui Regiment, " Queen's Own," and went through the Maori War, serviug in the Waikatoand Taranaki campaign under General Chute, and he was one of the expedition that made the celebrated march round Mount Egmont, " when," said Mr Walker, " we endured great hardships in the dense bush, and had .to eat our packhorses." - He also went to the goldfields of Australia, and was amongst the first on several of the new rushes in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. " What I suffered from," said Mr Walker, "is sciatica. I was down with fever and ague, and then with rheumatic fever," when on the Palmer diggings, in Queens'and. That was my worst experience, and I have never until recently been quite free from it. When I came back to New Zealand I tried the hot .springs in Auckland, but got only partial relief. I was recently laid up in the Hawera Hospital, where 1 had to be taken in a cab, and I came out in the same way. I consulted many doctors, who treated mo, but they never told me what was wrong. Wheniu the hospitaj my kree was drawn to my car, and I was like that when I came out. A lady who was visiting the hospital told me her husband had been suffering as I did, and had derived great benefit through using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. So I decided to come out and try the Pills. That was about six months ago. I carried out the directions, and before I had taken a'box and a-half I got my leg halfway down, and could get about with a stick. At the third box I dispensed with the slick. After the fourth box I was able to do light work, and this winter there has been nothing the matter with me. Tho pain has quite left me." At the time of this interview Mr Walker appeared hale, hearty, and active. He declared he could write whole pages about the good the Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had done him. Mr Walker is well-known in Hawera,and has a first-class fishmonger's business in Highstreet, Hawera, where he carries out with aetivity the duties of his trade. " Many people," Baid Mr Walker, "have observed my recovery, and congratulated me on it, as after the life of exposure aud hardships that I have led, my case was looked upon as hopeless. 1 have recommended the Pills to others, and will continue to do so, for they made me fit for an ordinary day's work at my old trade of nursery gardener. Tho pains I suffered were dreadful; it was like a million toothaches shot into my leg. I am glad of the opportunity you have given me of testifying to the value of the medicine that has cured me after my long experience of suffering."
