CRIPPLED WITH RHEUMATISM.
HANDS, ARMS, AND LEGS PRACTICALLY USELESS. Christchurch Woman Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "Some years back I became almost crippled with Rheumatics," said Mrs. Samuel 'Goldmg, 6, Vogel-6treet, Richmond, Christchurch, New Zealand. "They appeared first in my hands, spread up my arms, and went to both legs. I UFod to suffer most dreadfully, my hands wero practically useless. Every knuckle and joint swelled up. T couldn't hold a needle or do my hair or dress myf-elf. I fortunately had my children- about me, or I don't know what I should have done. Some weeks I could hardly lift a tea cup to my lips. I felt helpless, I'd cry because J couldn't do things for myself. My wrists and fingers got quite distorted. I couldn't straighten my arms. I had to bathe my wrists to get a little ease I had liniments rubbed in, but I only got ease for the time. My knees were stiff. J couldn't bend them, and only walked slowly and limpingly. My limbs were ftdl of burning pain. I couldn't move my arms any way. The least change of weather set the pains going. Oh, it wi.-s misery. You'd think every joint and muscle was rusty, they were so stiff. One day a neighbour said, 'Mrs. Golding. why don't you take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills?' So I bought a couple «f boxes. I felt better after the second box, and kept on. Bit by bit the stiffness went out of very joint. The swellings got loss,, and my fingers got less knotted up. At last I was quite rid of Rheumatism, an<l able to use each limb as I wished."
