FORTY YEARS OF RHEUMATISM AND THREE ATTACKS OF INFUENZA.

♦ DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PTLLS EFFECT A MARVELLOUS CURE. " Until a short lime a^o I had not kuown for '10 years what permanent relief from pain was." Thus spoke Mrs, T. J. Thomas, of Uoiithcote, Victoria, recently to a reporter. 11 ow greatly Mrs. Thomas suffered from rheumatism, repeated attacks of influenza, onlaigement of the liver, and inflammation of the kidneys is vividly shown by her rem.'irks. " I am over 74 years of sitfp," she continued. "It was as near as I can remember in '57 that I had my first attack of rheumatism, and these have followrd me up, on aud off, for 40 years. About nine years a^o my troubles were added to by enlargement of the liver, and this, in itself more than sufficient to kill most ppoplp of my age, was aggravated by in(latnmation of the kidneys. As you may imagine, I was in a very critical condition for a long time, and when ju«t about to pull together again another severe attack of rheumatism hrouuht me down. This brings me to about five years back, when I caught influenza for the first time. But, 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 aoout a year and nine month" I was laid up with 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 terribl3 r low-spirited. My oldest enemy, rheumatism, kept going at me, and it seemed that between them they were tfoinsj to get the best of mo. I had four or five doctors, but their advice and physic was nob 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 down, and the only position in which partial relief was to be found was sitting, bearing to one 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 was terrible. I lost all power in my legs. At this stage, my attention was attracted t» some of the published cures which had been effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People of cases which had been pronounced by doctors and hospitals as hopeless, and I determined to make a trial of them. This was in the early part of April, and I was feeling about as bid as I had ever felt. By the time the third box was taken a marked improvement was noticeable, and this happy alteration continued until I was at the twelfth box quite enabled to discontinue the treatment. M3 r friends and acquaintances were astonished at my recovery, and quite a number are talcing the pills, and others have expressed their determination to do so should the}' over feel in need of treatment." " I 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 £or one ou the wrong side of 74." "Anil you are confident that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have been the means of restoring you to health?" " I am perfectly confident of this, and have no hesitation in saving so, and I shall recommend your wonderful remedy whenever I have an opportunity." A remarkable efiicacy in curing diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the blood or an impairment of the nervous system, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, and the tired feeling therefrom, the after-effects of influenza, dengue fever, and severe colds, diseases depending ou humours in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, &0., is possessed by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions and are a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female sj-stem ; in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of any nature.
