A GOOD GOLDFIELDS YARN. Many a good yarn is told by miners of the old digging days m Viotoria when money was thrown about like water, and when ecarce-y a fortnight passed without some phenomenal find or rush being reported. Perhaps the beat story of this class we have come across is one we clip from a contemporary (says a Viotoiian journal). The gentleman most interested, Mr J. A. Francis, of 191 Heidleburgroad, Olifton Hill, Victoria, went to the Mt. Brown rush early m 1881, and he has also prospected m Parker's United Jordons and on the Did Shamrock. Speaking of the journey, Mr Francis says : — ' M) trip to the interior resulted m my returning with little speoie, and an attack of general debility, owing to insufficient focd and water, which after wards settled Into what the medical officers of the Ballarat hospital (whioh I attended as an out-patient), pronounced a bad case of sciatica.

' I was living then at Blaok Hill, and for some years Buffered the most exorucla ting pains. At times the attack was most agonising physically, and compelled me to assume the appearance of a bow. 'Early m the current year,' resumed Mr Franois, * 1 came to Melbourne, and took up my residence with my married daughter here at Clifton Hill. She s^g- j gested that, as I had tried all other l remedies and doctors had failed to accomplish any good, I should give the Dr Williams Pink Pills a trial. I obtained a box from a storekeeper m Prahran, and after the first day, although I had a severe attack on me, the improvement commenced. 1 kept at ;hem constantly until I had taken three boxes. That was m March last, and since then I have been entirely free from sciatica and general debility m any shape or form.'

4 You believe your cure to be com plete V •So complete that I am seriously thinking of taking a run over to South Africa.' ' In similar cases you would recommend Dr Williams Pink Pills as a remedy ?' * Mosb decidedly.' The case of Mr Francis is one of many. Especially to old miners, and to all having outdoor exercise, do we point this moral. r i hey are genuine only with the full name, Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale j People, and are sold by all chemiste ani by the Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., who will forward (post paid), on receipt of stamp? or post order, one box for 3a, or half dc z*n for 15s 6i. A remarkable efficacy m curing diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the blood or an impairment of the nervous system such as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, and the tired feeling arising therefrom, the after-effects of la grippe, influenza, dengue fever, and severe colds, diseases depending on humors m the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc , is possessed by Dr Williams' Piuk Pilla for Valo Febpie, which give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions. They are a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, and m the case of men they effect a radical cure m all cises arising from mental worry, over-work, and excesses of any nature. A trial of our remedy will convlnc.3 the most sceptical.
