PIGEONS RIVAL RAILWAY.
300 MILES IN SEVEN HOURS.
Some time ago, according to the Scotch papers, thirty-six Carrier Pigeons flew from Spalding to Tranent (Haddingtonshire) in seven hours—a distance of 300 miles-at the rate of nearly 43 miles an hour, which would be a good average pace for a railway train over
the distance. A newspaper man who saw some of the pigeons which accomplished the feat had some conversation with a local resid- ent who told an interesting story of himself. His name is William Craven, an agile, busy man, who wished to add to the reputation of Dr. Williams' pink pills, which had travelled
much further, he said, than the best "carrier "
in and around Tranent.
Mr. Craven said: "But for them I would not have been able to work to-day, Four years ago, when at work on a farm, I began to have severe pains in my left leg. the pain shooting up from my toes to my hip, and do all I could I could not get rid of it. At nights I was afraid to turn in my bed. I could not stand, I tried to walk the effort caused me fearful agony.
"You see that wooden stop by the door? Well, I could not raise my foot over it. I was quile at a loss what to do. At last a friend said, "Why don't you take Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people? They'll enrich your blood and so cure your rheumatism.' I sent for a bottle, and they made new blood in me I wakened one morning without feeling the least signs of pain. I have not had the least sensation of a return of the rheumatism. So firm a believer am I now in Dr. Williams' pink

'Al home, after meals, I had often to walk about the house to disperse them. There was a pain in my chest which completely took my breath away at times. Of course, it hampered me very much at the works, and 1 was afraid to take my food.
"Then my wife, who had suffered terribly with indigestion prevailed upon me to get her a bottle of Dr. Willians' pink pills for pale people, and after taking them for some time her improvement was so marked that I began like her, I felt speedy telef. After taking to take the pills myself, with the result that,

MAN AND WIFE.
THE STORY OF A HAPPY PAIR,
Mrs. Houghton, wife of the herd of the remark- ahle story related in this issue under the title "Where Noise is King," had a story to tell not less remarkable than that of her husband. "About six months ago," she explained to press representative, "I began to be troubled with dyspepsia. I thought little of it at first, and went on with my work as usual, thinking it would soon go away. However, I was mistaken, for it developed to a terrible degree. I had a heavy feeling in me chest and severe palpitation of the heart. Sumetimes my heart was so bad that

"My other son, William," asked Mr. Craven, "has alan been greatly benefited by them. He injured his arm in the pit, and a form of theu- matism ensued, which was cured by Dr. Williams' pink pills. He now works regularly every day."
Mr. Craven gave his unqualified permission for the interview to be published in the news papers, and, indeed, such is the fame of the pills in all walks of life that those who have benefited by them in cases of anæmia, bilious ness, consumption, gout, rheumatism, sciatica, paralysis, and other disorders, are generally ready to publish their experiences. Even ladies, whose modesty would keep them silent but for their kind anxiety to benefit their suffering sisters, do not hesitate to make known the extraordinary relief which the genuine pills Dr. Williams-are capable of affording in the recurrent miseries to which so many are subject.

I had a gnawing and burning sensation in the stomach as if I had eaten fire. Many a time ! never touched food for a day; even tea made me it. At length I began to think that 14, QUELK'S ROAD CENTRAL, should have to give up.
"At length I was attracted by an article in a Birmingham paper on the subject of the re- markable cures wrought by Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale nenple. I persuaded my husband to let me give them a trial, and he obtained two boitles. I had become so bad that I had to beat myself in order to get my breath, and it was misery to be about, and still worse to lie in bed. At the end of the second bottle I noticed a
distinct improvement. I took five bottles alto- gether, and I am now in excellent health and can enjoy my food."
Neither Mr, nor Mrs. Houghton raised any objection to the proposal that the interview should be given every publicity.
Men as well as women benefit by the new blood and new strength which Dr. Williams' pink pills are able to give. But it is only the genuine pills which have the virtue.
If Mr. and Mrs. Houghton had used an
imitation or substitute they would be suffering still. It is the genuine pills bearing Dr. Williams' name (and to be obtained post free for two and ninepence from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Holborn-viaduct, London, if renders have any difficulty in purchasing the genuine at shops) which have cured so many cases of anæmia, bile, consumption, fits, gout, indigestion, kidney disease, paralysis, locomotor ataxy, St. Vitus' dance, and the frequent ailments of ladies. Substitutes cure nothing.
