HOW HEWS SPRE\D3.

' I have called, Mra Brown," said our reporter, 'to ascertain the truth of the minor that has reached us of your having recently suffered from a severe attack of rheumatism." ■ , •It is quite true, bat I am now happy to relate that I feel as well as I ever did. I have been suffering on and off from rheumatism for the last five years, an» the slightest change in the weather used to give me most awful twinges It chiefly affected my arms, and I can assure yon, sir, that it took me all my time to do my hair. This complaint appeared tv affect my entire Bystem, and as to the money I have spent in doctors advice and so-called remedies, why it makes me positively disgusted to think of. I began to think chat if my sufferings continued life was not worth living- I remember one day, as I was sitting by the fire and endeavouring to employ my mind by reading the * Evening N«ws, that an advertisement caught my eye headed ' Dr Williams' Pink Pills Tor Pale People* cures JRheamatism, Sciatic*, &c.' Now, having wasted so much money already. I was at first loth to try any more adver tised medicines, but I thought in for a penny in for a pound, so I invested in three boxes of this specific' When 1 told my hu-band I was going in for a «sourse of Dr Williams' Pink Pills, he said, * Oh, yoa are going to chuck away soma mora money, are yoa V 41 said* Yea, I am,' and right glad am I that I ran the risk of * chucking away some more money,' for I am happy to tell yoa that they have done me all the good in the world* Talk about the new woman, why i feel now a brand new I #oman, and my husband only this morn- | !ng said to me ' Well, ym certainly look th<s ' pink the perfection now I supp< se it is yonr Pink Pills that have done is.' And so it is. Not only have I lost my rheumatic pains, but my appetite has returned, and J can now enj »y my food. 0r Williams, Pink P.lla are not like other medicines, and their effects ars per manent. Nothing else is so prominent in pulling np the system when, from some temporary depression or otherwise, tone Is needed. They have cared more than fifty-five hundred cases of diseases arisin from impoverished blood such as arsemia, pale and sallow complexion, muscular weakness, depression of spirit, loss of appetite, palpitation in the back, nervous headache, loss of memory, early decay. all forms of female weakness, hysteria, locomotor ataxy, rheumatism and sciatica, scrofula, rickets,, hip-j->»nt diseases. cferonic erysipelas, consumption of the bowels and longs. The genuine pills are sold only in wooden boxes, about two Inches in length, In a white wrapper with the full name Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, printed In red They are never sold jn bulk, or from gbss j%rs, and any dealer who offer* snbsitutes in this form should be avoided. In case of doubt it is better to send direct to the Dr Williams' Mcdi oina Company, Wellington, N % , enclos ing the price, 3s a bo?, or six boxes for 15s 9d. Theee pills are not a purgative, and they contain nothing that could injure the most delfoate.

To enter upon an Imperial Constitution on the basis necessary for proper safeguards would be to gravely imperil the present security of the Empire, and granting preferential duties in favor of the Colonies would, he said, prove the first 3tep towards the destruction of the British colonial trade.
