"I had an. attack of rheumatic fever, and after that I .caught a chill," said Mr! Thos. 1 Reid," c/o Mrs. E. M. Thomas, Semaphore, Boad, Glanville, Pt. Adelaide, S.A. ,"I was leaning against a hot boiler and caught cold after. I noticed the Rheumatism first in the ankles, then it spread to my knees, then to my arms, and finally it went right through me. 1 was ill bed twelve weeks, and oft' work for much more. • The was agonising, I could not raise my arms up. All my back and shoulders were affected. I didn't like anyone near tne. If. I moved I'd scream out with the agony, My hands. were not affected fortunately. I could not eat with such pain in my system, and- I began to fall away. The pressure of the bedclothes was too much for me, and yet I'd be so weak and the arms so stiff I couldn't push even the sheet off by myself. I had a. grinding gnawijig pam in every muscle, and when I moved the pain would simply rack me. The pain was alwayß worse from five in the morning, a real; jumping pain, and it was impossible to close an eye. I dare not press the affected parts, I'd feel the least,toach; I lived on beef tea and bread and milk and such ' like: I couldn't eat anything else. I fell away and lost nearly a stono in weight. My only relief was to lie' absolutely still. If I crooked a finger, I'd feal the, pain running through my shoulder and down my arm. Every joint seemed creaky and rusty. All the 66 weeks'' I was in bed praotically helpless, and the pain never absopt for . more than a couple of niinutes or so at a time, except when I'd fall off. to sleep exhausted. I'd wako up groaning with the pain running through me. At last 1 decided to give Dr. Williams': Pink Pills a trial, and I'm glad to say they complotcly cured ■B&." '
