A FALMOLTH CELEBRITY.

SOME PERSONAL DETAILS.

Mr Henry Elger, of Prince-sreeb, Fal mouth, has become quite alocal celebrity, and an account of h:m, in the * Falmouth Packet.' seems likely to spread his fame far and wide. The story, ao far as possible, may be given in Mr Elger'a own graphic words.

' One summer a fternoon, in the summer of 1888,' said Mr Elger,' I mide a hearty dinner, had * forfy winks ' and was prepar ing t.) go out for a stroll, when a straoge sensation came over me snddenly s»nd I ccmmenced to stagger I went to bed at onc;s and called in a doctor, who said I had had a bad paralytic seizure. For negrly a fortnight I cou d keep no food in my stomach »P& ifa9 only kept a'ive by injections. I was paralyzed arid bed ridden for close on six ny nths a' d even when I got up could only juat manage to drag myeelf aloing with the help of a stick, everybody saying that I wasn't icng for this world. If 1 looked miserable—and I knowtbat Idld- I certain y felt miserable aud 01 the more sobtcaute I conld neither attend to nay business nor even help my wife to sell froit and vegetables in the Bhcp. For over six years I was like that m d tried a]l sorts of remedies, but with out effect. When I attempted to walk — and looald only go alittle way I stoggert d like a drunkard.' ' sTon seem to have changed for the better now, • remarked the interviewer. 'How did this come about V *l?m comfpg to that, 'said Mr tlgey, * Abonfc ttfo yearfj ago I took up my copy 6i* your paper, ;iisthe first thing that caught my eye was an account of a Case of para'yeis cprerl by T>r Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. As I Baid jjmfc now, I had tried almost evejy bing. but J thought that J wonld get. s< me t*f these Pills, sir, fihat one box made a difference in me, so % procured roprp, and after two or three bo?cs I comra need to feel more pheerful and vigorous, and could walk about. After I had taken six boxes I gave up my stick, and now, thank ood, I pan carj?y a heavy load, walk as far as you like, eat, drink, and sle p well,, and »ttend to my trade.' ' You seem to be very jubl'ant o?er i 1", Mr Elger.' *So would you be if you had gone through what I have. Look here, lam now sixty-two years old, and never felt better; Dr Williams' Pink Pills wo>ked a miracle on me, and I feel it vny duty m let everybody know 1-. I forgot to'ell jroa another thing : before T ccmmenced to take Dr Williams' Pills $ used tb su^r from dropsy, bat all that has disappeared jib well j I firmly believe that if it had not been for the Pills I thould be in my grave. *Dr Williams' Pills seem valuabln for marry complaints,' continued Mr Elger ' My wife had a running wonnd in her leg, due fo impoverished blood, and a doctor tailed to do her any goor 1, and told her she must lie in bed. Well, when I found that these Pills war© doing me good I got her to share mJne. Before she com fa'enced to take them, her leg was blood r'fed with inflammation. N"w: nil the Inflammation haß gone, and the wound closed up. We are both grateful to Dr WHllams' for hav|ng invented the Pills, and thii k everybody oughb tp know cf thttfa.'

The chemist who suppli d t^e PlUs fco Mr Elger wis able to corroborate his Jncid ai.d Intelligent statement, »nd fmifl |ie w^q permanently cnred. Dr WilHams' Pink Pills are not like ptfcer medicines, their ejt'ects ate permannnt Noth ing else is so prompt fn pulling np the syatem when, from some temporary de pression or otherwise, tone is needed. They h«ve cored more than fifty five hundred cases <f diseases arising from impoverished blood, such as amemia. pale and sallow complexion, muscular we&k nesp, depression of Fpirits, loss of appetitr palpitation of the heart, sh r'ness of brea(h. paine in the bapk, m-tvom h»ad- toss of memory, early decay, all Jorms 1 of female weakness, hy t^ria; paralysis, loeomotor ataxy, rhenmatfsm. »nd eiatica, scrofula, lickete, hip-joint diseases, chronic erysipelas, comump ion <jf the Vowels and lungs.

The genuine pills presold only in wooden boxes,%bdtit two inches in length, in a pink wrapper witK the fall name, Dp Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, printed in red, They are never sold In bulk, or from glass jars, and any dealer offers substitutes In this form should be avoided. In case of donbt it is better to send dir cb to the Dr. William's Medkiae Company, Wellington, N.Z., enclosing the price, 3s a box, or six boxes for 15 9d. These pills are not a purgative, and they contain nothing fehtfe could, in jute

I Prof. Di M. Bristol and his celebrated (school of pfcrfoiming tquines come to Ash burton next week, 'i his attraction has been a popular and fashionable success in all the large cities of America for the past twelve years, and cornea endorsed by press and public as being a most unique entertainment. Imagination cannot conceive of anything more pleasurable to the admirer of man's bestfrund, the hoise. 'Ihe* most perfect i docility and highest order of intelligence are ; all exemplified in this troupe ©f horses. Prof. Bristol has added many new difficult features since last year, but has retained all the old favorites, including the celebrated Denver and Sultan. These animals do not present tricks that are well-known in the circus ring, but in every respect they have been taught feats never before attempted, abounding in astonishing and amazing per fection, which no other individual of theit sp-cies was ever kuown to execute. These animal actors will give two performances in the Oddfellows' Hall, next Monday, June 21
