PREJUDICED PEOPLE.
STORY OF A SCEPTICAL
SCv-t-oHMAN.
A good story is told of an: old Scotchman in Dunedin. When arguing politics he "was told by his opponent that lie was as stubborn us a mule. "Nay, nay," he ireplied, "I'm open to conveeetion, but," he adde - cautiously, "I'm a dour deevil to conveence." That's the way with most people. They're prejudiced. There are many, for instance, in -Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch prejudiced against Dr. Willliams' pink pills. They ■don't, believe "that' they are such a wonidtiri'ul cure for indigestion, rheumatism,:-neuralgia, and sciatica. But surely, like the Dunedin Scotchman, they are "open to conveection." Perhaps we'ire (prejudiced oursehies. That is why we. don't ask you to take our word if or " anything. We give you instead the actual words of your own fellow, citizens who have been cured. Here's a case from, Auckland that must convince the most sceptical:— , ; 'For 26 years I have lived in New Zealand*" says Mrs. Ellen Dwen, Tuakau, a few milcfs from Auckland, "and j- don't think anyone in the colony ever suffered mare than I did from sciatica. My leg was simply paralysed with pain, vj.cen it ilfelfc as if the nerves and muscles iwere 'being torn (by m red hot iron —and then the leg would turn deathly cold again. 'Generally .the pains shot up ray leg, through my hip and across my stomach. I went to a. doctor and he said my sciatica nerve was terribly inflamed. When his imcfclicine failed I went to the Rotorua Hot Springs for seven weeks, but they did me no gocd at all. At last I read in the Auckland Graphic or Weekly News how Dr. Williams' pink piilla had cured sciatica in Mr. Ojiher, of Masteirton ; Mr. Hunt, of Hastings; and Mr. Robert Clucas .of Canterbury. I got some Dr. Williams' pink <pilb> at once, aaid was told they would actually make new "blood for me. Well, I had to take four boxes before I saw tho least improvement. But after that every dose iseemcd to make me better. I could feel tho new blood tingling in my veins and soothing all my pain. But I wasn't .cfcisy to cure. After taking tweLve boxes I felt ?.J'.l right in the day time, but the pvn in my ihip and stomach still trout'ed mo at night. (Still I kept right on rV. I finished 17 iboxes —and then, thank God. I -was in perfect (health again. I haven't had ia twinge of sciatica sineo. so you can see my cure is perf;;;:. And,'' Mrs. Dwen added, "when Di. Williams' pink pills cured me they, can cur£ tbt; worst case of sciatica ever knowv ''
Of course. Mrs. Dwen's caso is ju*t one of hundreds. l'her« are m:oiy-;, ©■ ■cases, not only in the big cities. L*.it in small towns like Invercargill. ]>:ilchu'i,' oamaru, Tisnaru, Blenheim, Nelson. Palmerston, alnd New Plymouth, .where Dr. Williams' pink pills have cured the worst cases of sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness., biliousness, indigestion, liver complaint, kidney trouble, backaches, headaches, sideaches, and the. secret troubles ot growing-g irls and -married women. But you must get the genuine Now Zealand kind —always in boxes, never in bottles. That is the kind that cured Mrs. Dw<(n —and surely her case should convince people even more prejudiced than the honest old Scotchman in Dunedin.
