THE LADY STILL HAS THE RINGS

THE LADY STILL HAS THE RINGS.
That Mrs. Beatrice Wilson had a
most wretched and unhappy time we
can well believe. The plain facts, as
She sets them forth. leave no room for
doubt on that point.
She thinks the doctors were all In the
fog the Wyalong doctor in particular.
AS for myself, l would hardly go 50 far
as to say that. a man may know a
road without having the strength to
walk on 1t, and doctor may recognize
disease without having the power to
cure 1t. Examples of this we come
across every day.
Yet sick people are always in a hurry
to get well. and. therefore, impatient
of all slow and poky ways OF making
well. Possibly sometimes an unreason-
able but ever natural feeling.
Mrs. Wilson's own account CLEARLY
and forcibly written) runs thus
about two years ago-this being the
18th February. 1900, as I am writing al

N. s. W.-whilst living at Lismore,
Richmond River, / became suddenly,
and wholly unexpectedly, Ill.
Il was weak and listless: l ceased to

T. work: indeed l even lacked the
energy to move. l scarcely slept of
nights; and such nasty taste in the
mouth In the morning! No one VIII.
has not known that taste has any idea
how siekening and abomlnable it Is.
"And, worse still l began losing flesh,
and the process went on until | was a

ture. When the ailment, whatever it
was. attacked me, l yas we'll nour.

whatever would remain on my stomach

Will understand the reduction in weight.
"1n hope to overcome this by sheer
force OF will. if possible, | sometimes
forced food down and SO to speak, held
1t there by resolving it should stay
there. This l did, knowing that l mus :

However the plan was failure,
The result was excruciating pains

they made me think what sharp
rheumatic attack must be like.
AT this time I went to Wyal1n%
with my husband. and there also was
nearly dead with the same symptoms.
The Wyalong doctor said my stomach
was liberated, l don't believe it was
Anyhow, his medicines did me no more
good than the medicines of the Lismore
doctors.
"My friends thought l was going to
die. and l thought so too. My mother.
when l was leaving Wyalong, told me
she knew I would not live. and she
would never see me again on this
earth.
"Her prophecy. poor soul was correct,

and strong.

I persevered, taking 1t regularly and in
six months the disease was gone as
completely as though it had never ex-

"To show you how despairing I was
at one time, I actually told my husband
how would like certain rings, etc. dis

which is better than gold"
