The Round of Duty

With bat very few exceptions all fodb of Adam, from ihe highest to the lowest, are sentenced to boll of some cc crip? ion m this world. Bat how tolhoine b*eom*u : the daiiy doty when sickness prostrklnr the worker; rheumatism, for Instance, w<M<-» attendant agonies, eft«n compels the sufferer to lay up. Mr Walter Tje, milkman, of 33 MoArthur street, Ultimo, Sydney, spenc a year of his life fn bed through an attack of this complaint. Mr Tyeeays:— . v -,.--■ " Fou can see, of course, that m my trade, one can't step tndoon «n iwloy days, or even wrap up to much extent, when It fchould be necessary to do so. Wet or fine, tbe weather mtwb be faead, aaid^a.' man mast be very lucky who can sell chills at defiance/ Eighteen month* a^o,: my system became invaded with rheama-. tism of ihe acattet kind. Any fettov ' sufferer knows the tymptoau: X would feel sudden tw!n«M of agony; ■* JahtfsVS were stiff an ed ; I found It Impossible to stoop or bend with f age, If anyone even - pretended to touch me I would off out with anticipation of pain The nc4«e of, say a f»lifag chair, would give a thrill of anguish, and wake me clench my teeth In desperation. At night, ■ steady sleep was out of the question, every hour could be counted, as £ lay awake, praying .lor the . twinges to be lulled. My body wm a regular barometer ; rainy weather wouli develop 4he shooting paint to their worst, till I felt that nipping with white hot pinchers would be quite a. wcjoome change. Oils, linfmeats, and medicine* were tried m desperation, anything to give relief to a pain I fended ohronle. Through the advice of a neighbour I pur chased some boxes of Dr. WUHanu' rink Pills for Pale People. After the third box I began to eiperienee a little reliej— , the spasms and twinges of pain leMenei, The pains decreasing, I was able to get better sleep, and everyone know* whs** blessing that is. The elasticity began to return to my muscles, and I regained their use. Ib wm just as If a rusty door had been oiled. Once the medldne began to take effect, my improvement In health was rapid. I nave taken eight' boxes altogether, and they have certainly worked a wonderful cur*. I can now go back to my business without fearing a return of my old symptoms. But for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, I should still be crippled and unable to work. I heartily rt commend them to all sufferei a from rheumatic complaints." If you write to us describing yonreue, we will tell you whether Dr. William*' Pink Pills are good for you. We will not deceive yon; Our reputation la worth more to us than the sale of a fewjtwxea of pills. Please address — Dr. Williams* Medicine Co.. Qaeen's Place, Sydney, N.S.W.

"A TAG."

United Press. Association—By. Eleotrio* Telegraph. Mastebtoit, May 12. Replying to a deputation.which uked for. assistance for a technical sohool, Mr Beddon* referred to the financial a«peot, remarking that laat nighfc he received the piblia accounts, when he found that the Auditor general had; developed ioio a partisan* Mid: pat the following tag on the public accounts: —(a). A mm of £1500, beingnoneye which had -been issued *nd paid under the authority of.itection 3 of the Public Revenue. A.Bk Amendment' Act, 1896, m respect of technical schools, and included M.lheeeetioß requires m the estimates and account* for the year or other period m which the tame were paid, were not provided for by the Appropriation Act of 1898. (£). A mm of £910 13s 7d, being moneys which were, under the authority^el the imprest ■uppljr t expended m reepeob of technical aohools, bub which were not sanctioned by Parliament-W, the session m which such imprest supples: was passed ! Administration under such I oircumstances, Mr Seddon said, was im cpeesibie, and explained why the Bums re fepeed to were granted before the vote wm taken off the estimates, when the matter was before the House. When he took Parlia ment i«<;o his confidence he little thought such a tag on the matter would have been a Cached *» his accounts.
