An Astounding Cure in Melbourne

THE MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF A COLLINGWOOD LADY THE AWFUL EFFECTS OF A NEGLECTED COLD BILE BEANS DO GOOD WORK AG j.IN Here la an astounding cure of a Melbourne resident Mrs Mary Latdlaw, of 31 BaJlarat Street, Collingwood, Molbourne, who declares that bhe waa m the first stage of consumption and that Bile Beans effected a remarkable cure. Read her story aa told to a reporter of the Mercury.— She said "I began to feel m bad health eighteen months ago, as the re sult of a severe cold caught, I think, by sleep* ing m a damp bed. I grad*; uallygob worse until an attack of pneumonia ensued, and though I recovered it left ma very weak and ill, and with a frequent cough. I took various medicines, but without result, and m a time the cold had settled on my lunge. The cough got worse with expectoration, and at length it became clear that I had consumption of the lungs. As the weeks passed by I became thinner and dwindled away to a skeleton almost. I became so weak I could scarcely get about the house. I vVhile I was m this state a friend brought me a box of Bile Beaoa aoma six months ago, but, as I thought they were only for biilioua neas, I hesitated about taking them. How ever, I decided 10 try them, aud after a little time I felt an improvement. I gradually felt brighter, and m a couple of weeks the cough got less, and I started to put on fl sh. 1 then kept on taking the Baanß, and am now a very different person. I can confi dently recommend the Beans to any person suffering as I was." Now, as this is the weather tor influenza and colds, bear m mind the case of Mrs Laidlaw. Remember how her illness was brought on by a neglected cold, and do not forget that Bile Beans restored her to health when she thought she was beyond medical skill. Bile Beana are an undoubted specific for Headache, Indiges tion, Debil ty, Female Ailments, Liver L'rouble, Coativeness, Files, fchab tired feel ing, lack of physical tone, etc., etc* Obtainable from all chemists, or tent post paid on receipt of price, 1/l^d per box, by the Bile Bean Manufacturing Co., 39 Pitt Street, Sydney.

A Philanthropist.

IDhe Agent-General of Vitadatlo, Mr 8 A Palmer, has jueb intimated a most remarkable departure. The works of Charles M Sheldon have sprung into prominence, and are attracting the attention of the entire English: speaking races of the world and probably others. Mr Palmer, m his generosity, has arranged with the publishers for a quarter million copies of this moßt noted author's works, and will send to any address m the oolonie?, a copy, on receipt of twopence m stamps, or the five copies on receipt} of six pence m stamps, which wili only cover postage, packing, etc. Vitadatio'a aim is nob only to cure the people of diseases, but also to instruct and lead their minds to the uobler aspirations. The list of books is as follows.—"ln His Steps: What Would Jesua Do?' " The Crucifixion of Philip Strong," " His Brother's Keeper," " Malcom Kirk," " Richard Hardy'a Seven Days." Mr Palmer is certainly going out of the usual way to reach the people, and practical philantrophy epeaka for itself. Ab anyrate, he ia to be coir mended. Letters addressed Sheldon," care Vitadatio, Melbourne.

The rise m the price of wool and the firm state of the London market will mean in creasing returns of many thousands of pounds for the farmers of Canterbury alone this year. As a natural consequence, following the advanced coßt of the raw material, all the principal manufacturers of woollen goods have recently issued revised price Uete show iog a considerable rise m the prices of all Tweeds, Coatings, Vicugnas, &c. Messrs Ckaighead & Bebetman of this town, how ever, with their usual foresight, took time by the forelock, and cabled Home direct early ' iin May for a large shipment of the most fashionable Suitings for the approaching Spring season. They also secured large parcels from the principal New Zealand mills just before the rise, and will give their customers the full benefit of their timely contracts. Messrs Cbaighead and Berky- I man invite an early inspection of their New [ Goods. Their leading line of Men's Suits to I measure for £3 10s, made up ia their we; 1 known style and fit, should convince the most sceptical of their sterling values. 1 "Ma Conscience."
