CRIPPLED AND Rheumatism made this Woman as Helpless as a Baby. Carried about from Room to Room by her Husband* As a public Duty she tells how she was cured by Dr. Whams' Pink P«« Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Dixon, of 136, PligrimSt., Footscray, Melbourne, think It their doty to make public the facts concerning .Mrs. D Iran's remarkable core from Rheumatism by Dr. Williams' Pink Ptlla. "rs. Dixon was suddenly overcome with leumatlsm, and for months was crippled and as helpless as a baby. Her husband had to carry her from one room to another -when she was able to get out. of bed, and neighbours had to do her hair. Mrs. Dixon graphically told a reporter of her iltocss and cure. She said:— "I had influenza and after that Rheumatism set in, and quite suddenly, too," lid Mrß. Dixon. "1 went to bed all right and in the morning I woke up quite unable to move. The Rheumatism was down all one side. For a fortnight then I had to stay in bed. I had to get In help to do the housework and look after the children. I quite helpl dreadful. Later it set In, In both hands. feet and arms. When the first acute attack eased a trifle I was Just able to totter round the house holding on to the furniture or helped with a stick. My mother would call and fairly cry to see me so crippled, and I would cry myself, I was in such agony. My husband would carry me from bedroom to sitting-room. I had no sleep night or day. I lay between blankets, of course, bat I dare not move. 1 would Just He like a log and pray for the daylight. I was always feverish end very thirsty. The skin, especially about the Joints, was red and shiny, and tight looking and burning to the touch. I used to lie at night with pillows under my knees. 1 could not straighten them, and sometimes pillows at the feet to take off the pressure of the bed clothes. I had the joints rubbed with every liniment you could hear of, turps, eucalyptus, etc., and had on all sorts of poultices and hot vinegar with bran, all to no good. I fell away to a perfect skeleton. I simply could not eat; I was always In such torture. I could not stand anyone coming near me, for fear tbey would happen to touch me: I would ecream out, 'Don't come near me." Tou could dent the- swollen places, anil quite an impression would be left. I could not dream of raising my arms up. Neighbours would have to come to do my hair or give me a hand. My fingers were •« stiffened and dreadfully swollen that I could not hold a needle or even a book to read with any comfort; I could barely cat or handle the little food I took. To sit down on a chair was quite an effort; It was slowly done, and when I got up I would have to use my hands as best I could to help raise me, and then someone would come and lift me by the arm. It was as if 1 were glued to the chair. My husband would put rugs down in the garden, so that 1 might lie and get some air and sunshine, but I conld not raise myself; I always had to be lifted. For months I did not leave the. house, for walking was beyond me. It broke my hetirt to sec people from the window walking easily. I was doubled up; I could not stand erect. Not one day In all these months was I free from para. 1 looked forwnrd to being perpetually crippled. After everything else failed, 1 rend about Dr. Williams' Fink Pills, and tried them. By slow degrees the pain and stiffness wore away. I was ovorjoyed with the result gained from the third box. BTery day I began to feel a little easier, and to move my limbs more and more. Presently I was able to discard support and to do a few jobs about the house, and it was a great day when I was able to open my piano again and notice the stiffness and swelling gone ont of my fingers. The eighth box saw every symptom gaat. I had begun to eat and fill out. now the pain had ceased. My husband and I think it onr duty to give this testimonial to help others.'"
