Wet Saddles.

The effects of riding m wet saddles are many Bnd various. The aubjecb has its serious aspect. In the bush, m the midst of pouring rain with no shelter, the nnhapppy iider cannot help himself. Mr "W. Shrader, of 436, Victoria street, Darlinghorst, Sydney, says he attributes the severe rheumatism, from whioh he recently suffered, to riding m a wet saddle and camping out m all weathers. Every remedy tried proved futile until Dr Williams' Pink Pills were resorted to, when a permanent cure resulted. Mr Shrader said :— 4 Twelve months ago I began to suffer from serious rheumatic pains m my back and loins, and m the back of my thighs, particularly when there was a change of weather or tem perature; the agony was insupportable. Having consulted., various doctors, and tried a host of much-vaunted patent medicines, with a like want of result, I was advised by a friend who had slso been ■a great sufferer from rheumatism, to try Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People as they had restored him to perfecb health. Was at first loth to spend any more money m advertised specifics, bub seeing the wonderful changes they had effected m him (for seeing is believing), I was in duced to give them a j|trial, and bought some boxes. I commenced taking them, following the printed directions which accompany each box. After taking two boxes the pains began to leave me, and my appetite, which had been very poor, improved immensely, I went ateadily on with the pills and finished two more boxes. I now feel as well as I look, and am as strong and healthy as ever I was m my life. lam convinced m my own mind that my cure has been solely effected by Dr Williams' Pink Pills. I recom mend them to n?y friends (I consider it my duty to do so), and I trust those who are ailing will follow my example and not prolong their sufferings when a simple remedy is at band." A perfect blood-builder and nerve restorer, Dr Williams' Pink Pills have cured come thousands of cases of rheuma tism, neuralgia, partial paralytis. loco motor ataxi', St. Vitus' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, the after effects of influetz^, dengue and typhoid fevers, severe colds, diseaoes depending on humors m the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. Dr William 3' Pink Piila give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions, and are a specific for the troubles peculiar to ladies, while m men they effect a radical cure m all cases arising from mental worry, over work and excesses of any nature. Sold by chemists and storekeepers generally, or the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co , Wei lihgion, JN.Z , will forward, on receipt cf stamps or post order, one box for 3 J, or half a-dcz n for 16a 6i. In purchasing the pills from retailers note that the genuine pills bear the full narao, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peoplo, m red ink. It is important to note this : there muat be no "missing words," or ir m a substitute, and substitutes never cured anyone.
