A POPULAR HOSPITAL MATRON. PRESENTATIONS BY PATIENTS. In hospital circles no couple holds a higher and more merited position than Mr and Mrs John Agnew, of Hillsborough (Onehunga). Before coming to New Zealand, they hold the responsible position of matron and wardsman respectively of the Gympio Hospital, and of the Herberton Hospital, North Queensland. At both hospitals they were immensely popular with the patients and management and their partings were marked with expressions of regret, accompanied by handA Popular Matron, several years. ‘ First,’ said the lady, speaking to our reporter, * I felt it in my back and legs. The stinging, burning pains caused mo terrible agony, and I could never rest. Then the disease affected my arms so that I was well nigh helpless. My right arm became paralysed in one night, and my loft leg, from the hip joint to the knee, became immoral. At times I would feel acute pains in the paralysed portions just as if a red-hot iron was being rubbed backwards and forwards over me. I grew thin and weak, and my pale drawn face bore testimony to the agony I experienced. I managed to get about slowly, but could not attend to house duties, and every now and again I would throw myself down on the couch, so thoroughly worn out did I feel. Night after night my husband sat up rubbing mo with liniments, but all to no purpose. He also bought two electric belts for me —one cost £5 ss, and the other £2 16s.— but they did me no permanent good. Then I used Dr. Williams’ pink pills. When I began the second box I found they were benefiting me; I became stronger, and the fierceness of the sciatica pains was deadened. I continued with them, and to my joy the paralysis left my arm, and I felt the blood trickling in the veins again. My thigh likewise became well, and gradually all pain loft me. To-day I am a strong robust woman, free from any trace of sciatica. The cold was intense last winter but it made no difference to me. I have become quite plump, my face is rosy and healthful looking, and the beneficial change in my appearance is most marked. I have thoroughly proved the medicinal virtues of Dr. Williams’ pink pills, and would not be without them ; if I again become matron of a hospital, I shall certainly recommend them to my patients for they saved ray life.’ The medicinal virtues of Dr, Williams’ pink pills (alluded to by Mrs Agnew) are such that they act directly upon the blood and nerves thus curing rheumatism, neuralgia, effects of influenza, paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, bronchitis, consumption, amemia, premature decay, irregularities, etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Wellington, N.Z., three shillings per box, six boxes for sixteen and sixpence (post free).

Some time after leaving Queens land, and settling here, Mrs Agnew became a victim to soiatica, I and became an i nvalid for
