throughout the British Empire. Our reporter therefore eagerly siezed the opportunity of interviewing Mr Michael Bourne, formerly a member of the Cape Mounted Rifles. "I left EDgland in April 1854 for South Africa," said Mr Bourne. " There I served in the Cape Mounted Rifles where I met with a deal of bush experience that fitted me for a settler's lite. In '73 I settled in New Zealand on the Mapier Road, near Upper Hutt, and am still there. Six years ago whilst moving a portable engine on the farm I was knocked down and the horse drew the engine over my feet. Doctors were called in and I was treated ior a compound fracture of the foot and nervous derangement. The accident unnerved my system ; I could not sleep, always felt dull and listless, and suffered from creeping-like pains throughout the body. The physician said that matter which should have come from the toot at the time of the accident tiad_ spread throughout the system. Noticing Dr. Williams' pink pills advertised in the Times I commenced them. Several boxes invigorated my system, made my blood rich and red, and expelled the poisonous matter from my body. I continued them until quite cured. Despite my 67 years lam as well as ever.

I found out to my cost that the common pink pill so often sold are of no value whatever," Mounted Rifleman Bource's remarks concerning common pink pills are perfectly true. Only the genuine Dr. "Williams' pink pills can cure the disc-asea they are advertised to cure, suoh as rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, bronchitis, consumption, erysipelas, paralysis, rickets, scrofula, St. Vitus' dance, etc. Sold by chemists, storekeepers, and the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, post free—But mind you ask for Dr. Williams' —the kind used by Rifllemau Bourne.
