CLAIM FOR WORK DONE,

Mr R. Freiwald Vojacek sued Mr Willy Von Uffel for $10 for work done and services rendered during 1994. Mr H. W. Looker appeared for the plaintiff, while Mr Follock, K.C., represented the defen- dont.

To the onlooker, it seems as though the Americans have made a fatal mistake in organising these native troops so soon after the rebellion; for the Filipino is notoriously treacherous, and has but the crudest ideas of honour. The same amount of money spent on Chinese troops might have ensured the safety of the government; but, now,ven the whole of the white troups in the archipelago, efficient though they be, might be hard pressed if another general insurrection were to occur, and the native forces were to desert a masse. But, like every other nation, the people of the Uuited States must buy their wisdom in the bitter school of experience.

á result I became, at one time, so weak that it was a burden to stand at all. My nerves seemed to have been shattered, and I commenced to suffer agonies with neu ralgia.

4

Happily for me I was strongly recom mended to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I can safely say that they restored me to health.

When I got up in the morning I felt as tired as though I had not been to bed, and this listless feeling did not woar off during the day. My appetite left me, and it was great effort to take any interest in my surroundings. I became weaker and wea ker. On top of this trouble came acute neuralgia. My norves were in a wretched

state.

Ordinary medicines had no beneficlal effect on me. I was in despair, when Dr Williams' Pink Pills were recommended to me. I sent for a bottle and I had not finished it before the neuralgia left me altogether. With this encouraging sign, I persevered. Then my appetite came back, and I got stronger bodily, and my nerves no longer troubled u e. Altogether I took five bottles of the pills, and I feel quite as well as I look."

Mr Arthur H. Scaman lives at 121 Hawthorn-avenue, Anlaby-rond. Hull, Englard.

It is the Ho concluded: strain of being continually at business that tella on a man, and it would be as-woll if those whose hours are long know what a splendid pick-me-up Dr Williams' Pink Pills are. In my caso I can ray that they have given me new life. I suppose my nerves and veins wanted new blood, and these pills make blood, as I know.'

Of all medicines, Dr Williams' Pink Pilla are universally recognised as the best for men, for they make men bright for business. They have cured the most ser- ious forms of nervous disorders, including paralysis and locomotor ataxy, while thou- sands have already testified to their value in St. Vitus' dance. sciatica, theunatism, anemia, indigestion, loss of appetite, gonerat rauscular weakness, and the ail- Not a purgative, but a ments of women.
