In countries like England, «nd especially in a great metro- < polls like London, people were born irto j ciimii^liy and wi ra bred in It, and they had no resources but criminal ones.

"I mast tell you," said Miss Canning hum, ibaS; 1 am a native of Qoehunga, »ud am consequently well known here; My *ge is eighteen. About two years ago my trials began, for I then con° traded bronchitis, which developed into consumption. I was ifflicted with wiakeniog night sweats, emaciation, complete loss of appetite and a hacking cough , my expectorations were mark, d with blood. I was treated bj skilful doctors for six months, but at last T was told I waa a hopeless consumptive. Bat feeling that whilst there is life there is hope, I Bent fer a supply of Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people, and after finishing two boxes was considerably benefited—the cough eased and I began to eat well; two more boxes cored me, Since then I have been in excellent health." Consumption is not curable in every stage, nor is every case, pronounced by doctors, Incurable with ordinary medicine beyond hope, if Dr Williams' pink pills which *re not ordinary medicine, are used.
