Anotlicr name is added to tlio lint of sufi'-reis from Rheumatism who have hoeu cured by Dr Williams' Pink Fills. Soures of cast's have boon cured by those pills, because they make new' blood and toi'lo the whole system, enabling it tn throw off tin' Rheumatic poison which is in tin* blood. •• I blamn living in a new house for my Rheumatism/' stud Mrs (I. F. Mayo, Hrightwater Terrace, Torraeo End, Pftlmorston X. " i began to feel flying aches and paips in all my joints and at lust they became very acute. My left arm ami left leg were the parts (ifected. My leg swelled terribly. My husband would have to help mo if I wanted to go from room to room, some days the swelling was worse than others. The leg would swell from the knee to the toes. I could not dream of wearing a boot, a large slipper was more than enough sorao days. The joints would i>o a glazed shiny red and the skin would be burning hot. I could not eat a meal. For more than a year 1 lived on wine and biscuits. I fell away and wasted to a shadow. Night and day 1 would be in agony. My daughter had to look after the house duties and do my hair and help me dress. Anil I would rest on the couch all day or perhaps just crawl abouti when forced with a stick. J. used embrocations and liniments when the pain was extra severe, but only temporary relief came. My knuckles swelled largely. I could not close my left hand. 1 could nob think of holding anything in it. Every joint in the left leg and arm felt as if it wore on the rack. The least change in the weather would be felt and I dare not touch water that was not warm, all the muscles drew up and got tight. I was simply frightened to put my foot to the ground ever so lightly. I was almost as helpless as an infant. 1 would not got up in the morning till about 11 o'clock, and my husband would prop mo up before ho went to work and then I wotdd make-shift presently to got out of bed, but if I had fallen I would just have had to stay where 1 fell till ho came homo. One day my mother having tried a bos ol Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Rheumatism herself brought me one. The first box encouraged me a little and I sent away for six more, later on another six, and gradually the llhennfcism was driven out. i twk three pills a day for a while and then doubled the dose. Slowly the stiffness and swelling went away and the fsvemhncsa and pain decreased. It was a great day when I could get about without a stick. 1 began to eat and put on flesh and gained in every way. In time every trace disappeared and my joints became as supple us ever th'-y had been and kept so. I recommend this medicine far and wide.'' Remember only the genuine Dr Williams' Pink Pills cure. Don't bo culled into taking something said to be just as good. Of all dealers at 3s per box, six boxes lOi Bd, or from the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., of Austra'asia, Ltd, Wellington.
