A NARROW ESCAPE.

Accounts of '« hair breadth " escapes are always more or less interesting to the general reader, so we venture to give here one relate I hv a Mr Kirwin, an old Maori veteran, who in his time has seen some pretty olose calls. Ihe following Bto-v he is very fond of relating, and does so" with great enthusiasm :—' 1 was a sufferer from liver affection lor years, and could find no relief until I tried Bile Beans for Biliousness. My main trouble arose from the state of my liver, brought on by constant biliousness. My appetite, once tood, almost entirely failed me. In fact, I took a great dislike to food of any sort. This, for a man of my calling-a carrier—was a severe alfliction, for my bodily strength naturally gave way from loss of sustenance, and I found it next to impossible to do a full day's work. Of coiuse I tried remedies of various sorts, but found little, if any, relief. Life became more or less of a burden, and I began to think that I was doomed to a life of ill-health. Indeed, the pills I took appeared to increase rather than diminish my malady. After taking a dose of these nostrums I feltaburningsensationinmy throat, andan uncomfortable feeling generally, so I determined, come what would, to discontinue taking what purported to be a remedy, but which, in reality, was an aggravation of my complaint. Seeing a number of apparently genuine and disinterested testimonials regarding the curative properties of Bile Beans for Biliousness, I was rssolved to try it, and so obtained a box. Wonderful to relate,, no sooner had I begun to take these Beans than the distressing symptomsof my long-standing malady began to disappear. Formerly, I was a victim to insomnia; in fact, night was more trying than day. ' Nature's balmy restorer sleep—was a stranger to me. However, thanks to the truly marvellous effects of Bile Beans, I am now able to enjoy a sound sleep nightly, a good meal—or, rather, meals—and perform a full day a work, To speak plainly, I feel as strong and as active as ever I did in my best days." As a natural consequence, Kirwin is full of gratitude for the restoration of his health. He resides at 472 Little Lonsdale-street, Melbourne, and anyone seeing him there would hardly think that he had passed through such an ordeal or had such a marvellous escape. .
