A SPLENDID INVESTMENT.

WHAT A FEW SHILLINGS DID FOR A PERTH MAN. Early in the present decade there was living in Melbourne a, member of that sturdy race that makes its way to eveiy coiner of the earth. George Nelson wa* his name, his birthplace the " land of brown heath and Bliaggy wood." Mr Nelson was a member ot a Rechabite lodge, and as such was entitled to the benefits accruing to its members. For many months he was on the sick lis 1- , and, as he couceived, a burden to his fellow members*. Tiny, however, loyally stood by him, and after months of medical treatment f»r biliousnts* and chronic headache; accompanied by dailyrecurring fits of vomiting, his lodge sent him on a trip to his mother country in search ef health. But unavailingly, for Mr Nelson returned no better in health than when he had depared twelve months previously. Again the man's conscience urged him to relieve his fellows of the burdeu that he felt himself to be, and his strict views of right and wrong prompted him to resign his meml ership. Mr Nelson is now a citizen of Perth, where, as senior member of the firm of Nelson, Moir and Co., he carries on, at Wi'liam and Aberdeenstreets, the business of general contractors, builders and carpenters, combining therewith ihe ivork of crushing horse-feed, etc., for the trade One of our reporters having heard something of Mr Kelson's prolonged ailment, followed by a sudden recovery of health, waited upon him with a view to obtaining some enlightenment as to the treatment he had undergone. " For years," said Mr Nehon, in reply to our reporter, " I have suffered from biliousness in such a form as to make my life a misery. Constant headache and morning vomiting kept me in a condition that made existence wretched. I took medicines as prescribed ty medical men, aud mixtures sold by cliemiHs, without benefit."

" Have you never tried patent medicines, Mr Ne'stn?''

" Well, one or two ; but I'm prejudiced against pateni medicines. I won't say 1 ■am prejudiced, but I was tiil lately." Seeing Bile Beans so widely advertised as a remedy for the complaint which was torturing me, I ventured to try a box. The first box gave me relief such as I hadn't known for years, seeing which I continued the treatment until I had used a Dumber of boxo3, and was absolutely cured." There, was a note of triumph in his voice as lie said that. " All the same," continued Mr Nelson, " I always keep a box handy, and if the old symptoms should show a sign of recurring, I am prepared for them." " Have you recommended the remedy to any of your friends, Mr Nelson ?" •• You bet," was the emphatic reply. " More than that. Not knowing that Bile Beans were to be had in any part of the world, I bought several boxes, and have rent them to my friends in Scotland. I will be pleased to let you know the results when I hear from them," he added.

•'Presumably, then, Mr Nelson, you don't think yon made a bad investment when ycu bought those three boxes of the Beans?"

"I made the best investment of my life when I bought them. V\ hy, work is a pleasure to me now. I hope that the publication of the results in my case will result in others being benefited as I have been ; and 1 may add that I shall always be ready to afford information to those who have suffered as I have, in the hope that they, like me, may obtain a relief that is wholly due to the use of Bils Beans." The testimony of men of strict integrity is valuable to the public as a guarantee of the benefits ot such a remedy as Bile Beans; aud in the interests of those of the public who have suffered like Mr Nelson has, we give publicity to the above facts.
