HOW NEWSPAPERS STIMULATE ACTION.
A NOTABLE EXAMPLE. The great effect newspaper reading has upon most of us is generally more or less acknowledged, but now and again an incident occurs which vividly shows how people's actions are influenced by advice or information found in a paper. An instance of this has just happened at (Jhudleigh (Tas). Miss M. C. Carter, a resident of that town, and a daughter of Mr \V. J. Carter, of the State School, Gordon, has had her whole life changed through reading a paper. Her career is exceptionally interesting. When she first came to the celony iu 1896, although 14 yuirsold, she could scaree'y walk, and had to be helped along by her mother. When she was only five she had an attack of yellow jaundice and Sb. Vitus' dance, aud a lump apoeared on her back which gradually grew lamer. She tried several doctors, but received no benefit from them. The twitching of her face and ringers was painful to witness, and the jaundice made her appearance most distressing to her relatives, who did everything lo assist the poor girl. Scvsral doctors treated her without success, aud she was told that she was soff.-iing from spinal trouble aud heart disease. Shs trird many remedies, but did not meet with success. Still she did not despair and in "J 7 she read in a newspaper an account of a cure which had been performed by Dr. Williams' pink pills, She procured gome, and after using several boxes she completely regained very good health. The family, as may be imagined, have ever since been most pleased with the success which attended the use of Dr. Williams' pink pills, and they arc strong advocates of this reliable medicine Miss Career's complaints first arose from a spinal trouble. It is well known that Dr. Williams' pink pills have a direct tonic action upon the spine, blood and nerves, and that is why they are so successful in curing many apparently different diseasessuch as rheumatism, neuralgia, bronchitis, pneumonia, consumption, enleritK nervous prostrat ; on, peritonitis, debility, auiumia, after effects of influenza, fevers, etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, N.Z., three shillings per box, six boxc3 sixteen and sixpence, post free: Full list of out cure 3 m any colony will be sent po:t free on application.
