COMEDIAN CROSBIE.

SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. JOINED THE STAGE WHEN NINE TEEN. In theatrical circles there are few better known men than David Croabio, of Market Street, Melbourne. An artiat who has travelled as extensively as Mr Crosbie, has met with many interesting experi-

ences, and in eh. t'.ing to out reporter quite a wealth of the* trical reminis oencea were revivi d. "I took to the stage whaii Oroah c, "fi ling the roU vi MuJOl in the' Pir*te(; fc he l*»chmond Tovntia! I. When in Hobart

Mb (Jbosbib. (PhotobyßMcGuffie& Co) lately I was attached to the Florence Seymour Co. »» | leading comedian. But some time ago 1 j thought I would not be able to make the tour. I became a martyr to indigestion which had often troubled me considerably. I lost all relish for food, could scarcely eat at all. After every meal, no matter how light; I would suffer great inconvenience from a pain across the cheso and a feeling ot fulness. My complexion became sallow, my eyes deeply sunken, and owing to liver troubles, everything at times weuld revolve befcre my eyes, so thwt I grew quite faint and dizzy. General debility set in, and I became thin and wasted-looking. At night I oould not sleep* I naturally tried many supposed remedies but they failed. Ihen I tried Dr. Williams' pink pills. I only used four boxes, bub they completely removed the effects of years of suffariag. During the first week •tfcer taking them th« perceptible improve ment was not greab, but, during the second and third weeks, I noticed a wonderful difference, and » week or two after I was able to discontinue them* I sleep soundly now, have a good appetite, am free from pains, and feel happy and energetic in place of being dull and listless. My face is a better colour, and I have put on flash. Since I used Dr. Williams' pink pills all dizziness has gone and my liver is working perfectly. Mr Croßbie's testimonal is another evidence of the Bucoess which attends the use of Dr Williams' pink pills whioh are largely used by professionals and others of both sexes. They are an unfailing remedy for anaemia, debility, rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, scrofula, eczema, paralysis, locomotor ataxia, loss of Vital forces, ladies' ailments, etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, N.Z, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and sixpence, post free. A book of testimonials will be mailed free to all enquirers. mmm^mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Troobl«seuie to she Army Daring the civil war, as well as in our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was one of the moßt troublesome diseases the army had to contend with. In many instances it became chronic and the old soldiers still suffer from it. Mr David Taylor, of Wind Ridge, Greene Co, Pa, is one of these.
