FORTY YEARS OF RHEUMATISM AND THREE ATTACKS OF INFLUENZA.

DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS EFFECT A MARVELLOUS CURE.

'Until a short time ago I had not known for 40 years what permanent relief from pain was.' Thus spoke Mrs T. J. Thomas, of Heathcote, Victoria, recently to a reporter. How; greatly Mrs Thomas suffered from rheumatism, repeated attacks of influenza, enlargement of the liver, and inflammation of the kidneys is vividly shoAvn by her remarks. Tarn over 74 years of age,' she continued. Tt was as near as I can remember in '57 that I had my first attack of rheumatism, and these have followed me tip, on and off, for 40 years." About nine years ago my troubles were added to by enlargement of the liver, and this in itself more than sufficient to kill most people of my age was aggravated by inflammation of the kidneys. As you may imagine, I was in a very critical condition for a long time, and when just about to pull together again another severe attack of rheumatism grought me down. This brings me to about five years back, when I caught influenza for the first time. Bfit, to shorten my story, I had further attacks of rheumatism and influenza again the following year, and though the influenza missed me for the next two years, rheumatism did not. But I had more to face yet, for about a year and nine months I was laid up Avith a third attack of influenza. I never seemed to be able to throw this off as I had the others, and it made me feel terribly low spirited. My oldest enemy, rheumatism, kept going at me, and it seemed that between them they were going to get the best of me. i" had four or five doctors, but their advice and physic was not the least bit of good, and I just felt I could not last much longer. The pain I suffered beats description I could not lie doAvn, and the only position in Avhich partial relief Avas to be found Avas sitting, bearing to one j side. I could not bear anything to touch my back. I don't like to think of the torture through which I have passed; it Avas terrible. I lost all poAver in my legs. At this stage, my attention Avas attracted to some of the published cures Avhich had been effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People of cases wdiich had been pronounced by doctor's and hospitals as hopeless, and I determined to make a trial of them. This was in the early part of April, and I Avasi feeling about as bad as I had ever felt. By the time the third box was taken la marked improvement Avaa noticeable, and this happy alteration continued until I Avas at the twelfth box quite enabled me to discontinue treatment. My friends and acquaintances were astonished at my recovery and quite a number are taking the pills, and others have expressed their determination to clo so should they eA-er feel in need of treatment.' T believe you sometimes go into town.' 'Quite true, and this means a walk of three miles,, with a rise or two to face; a very fair undertaking for one on the wrong side of 74.' 'And you are confident that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have been the means of restoring you to health?'
