MERIT VICTORIOUS
ANOTHER NEW ZEALAND MIRACLE. DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS CURE AFTER HOSPITALS AND MANY DOCTORS HAD FAILED. "The agonies I suffered were like a million toothaches.' The "Haayera Morning Post" Specially I>"VE3TI«ATES. A case worthy of special mention ia that of Mr George Millard Walker, well known in Hawera and district. Mr Walker, when interviewed, said he was fifty-three years of age, and had travelled all over the colonies during the last thirty-five years. As a soldier and gold-miner he had endured great hardships. He came to New Zealand as a private in the 50th regiment "Queen's Own," and went through the Maori War, serving in the Waikato and Taranaki campaigu under General Chute ; he was also one of the expedition which made the celebrated march round Mount Egmont, "when," said Mr Walker, "we endured great hardships in the dense bush, and had to eat our pack horses." After his soldiering experience in New Zealand he went to the goldfields of Australia, and was amongst the first on several of the new rushes in New South Walea, Victoria, and Queensland. " What I suffered from," said Mr Walker, " was sciatica. I was down with fever and ague,' and then with rheumatic fever, when on the Palmer diggings in Queensland; that was my worst experience, and 1 have never, until recently, been quite free from its after effects. When I came back to New Zealand I tried the hot springs in Auckland, but got only partial relief. You know the. rest," said Mr Walker, " I was recently laid up iu the Hawera Hospital; to which I had to be taken in a cab, and there 1 lay for three weeks, and when I left I had to be taken out in a cab again. I have had all sorts of medical treatment, including the battery, but without effect. I consulted many doctors, who treated me, but they never told me what was really wrong with me. When m the Hospital my knee was drawn right up to my ear, and I was like that when I came out." In reply to the question, " How did you
first hear of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills?" Mr Walker said, "A lady who was visiting the Hospital told me that her husband had been suffering somewhat as I did, and had derived great benefit through using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. So I decided to leave the hospital, and try Dr. Williams'; Pink Pills ; this was about six months ago. I carried out the directions, and before I had taken a box and a-half I got my leg half-way down, and could get about with a stick ; at the third box I dispensed with the stick ; after the fourth box I was able to do light tvork, and this winter there has been nothing the matter with me. The pain has quite left me." At the time of this interview Mr Walker appeared hale, hearty, and aotive. He declared he could write whole pages, about the good Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had done for him. Mr Walker is well known here, and has a fishmonger's business in High Street, Hawera, where he carries out, with activity, the duties of his trade. " Many people," said Mr Walker, "have observed my recovery, and congratulated me on it, as, after the life of exposure and hardships that I have led, my case was looked on as hopeles3. I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to others, and will continue to do so, as I am confident that Dr. Williams' Pink pills cured me, and made me fit for an ordinary day's work at my old trade of nursery gardener, which was the trade I learned when a lad at home before enlisting. The agonies I suffered ware dreadful, they were like a million toothaches shot into my leg. lam glad of the opportunity you have given me of testifying to the value of the medicine which has cured me after my long experience of suffering.—Very truly yours, "G.
