A HILLSBOROUGH HEROINE.

Few ladies in New Zealand deserve better of their fellow colonists than Mrs J. Agnew, of Hillsborough, near Onehunga, Auckland. Some ladies do not scruple to address a meeting in public, in the cause of religion or progress, and no matter what opponents to this practice areue, nothing can gainsay the fact that these lady advocates are working thoroughly and sincerely in their different causes. Mrs Agnew is well-known

in Hillsborough and surrounding districts for her kindliness of heart and disposition, and is naturally popular. Whenever she can give assistance she ungrudiugly does so. This being known, it will be a matter of no surprise that she has written a letter for press publication, solely in the endeavour to alleviate suffering. She says that for some years she was completely prostrated with sciatica in her back and legs, and later on it affected her arms. Hot, nipping pains racked her frame with intense agony, which no treatment, however careful, seemed to alleviate, and in such agony, and so debilitated was she, that for more than a year she was even unable to make her own bed Every movement produced excruciating pain, nor could she even pull the bed clothes on top of her. Then her right arm became paralysed in one night, and later on her left leg, from the hip joint to the knee, was similarly affected. Mr Agnew, with kind solicitude, bought everything that appeared might be useful in alleviating his wife's case. Among other things; electric belts were tried, one of which cost £5 ss, and the other £2 15s, but eren these gave Mrs Agnew no permanent relief. Liniments were also equally ineffective. Then a neighbour induced Mrs Agnew to try Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people. The first box did not appear to benefit her very greatly, but by the time she had finished the second box she describes the change as truly wonderful. Her back became strengthened, and her blood eariched. With the enriching of the blood and the toning up of the nerves, the sciatic pains lessened, and before long they faded quite away. Then, also, from having new, rich blood in her body, her formerly paralysed arm became capable of movement, and the use of her thigh was also restored to her. she is, in every way, in the best of health, compatible, of course, with her age, for although her he .rt is as warm as ever, Mrs Agnew is not quite as young as she once was. Still, she is now quite relieved of all her pain, and has .the perfect use of all her limbs. In her letter she says : "Please publish my testimony for the sake of other poor sufferers. I am sure Dr. Williams' pink pills, with God's blessing, have paved my life." Many others in all parts of New Zealand, and, indeed, all over the world, write in from time to time telling us how they have been cured by this miracle of modern medicine, which also cures rheumatism, neuralgia, lumbago, pleurisy, pneumonia, bronchitis, coughs and colds, influenza, indigestion, all ladies' ailments, loss of vital strength, debility. Sold by all chemists and storekeepers and the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, N.Z. ; price, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and sixpence, post free.
