' ~ — • — A Great Sufferer Explains how the Complaint can be Cured, $ Half measures in treating Rheumatism are no good. There's not much sense hi merely relieving the pain. The complaint is bound to come back ; most likely when it is cold and damp. It's tiuo that- a certain amount of relief can be gained by hot applications and rubbing. But that's not a cure. There's something in the blood — lactic acid medical men call it— which causes Rheumatism. Therefore Rheumatism is only cured -swhen this cause is dris r ev out. That's why rubbing and poultices are no good — it' 4. in the blood ; they can't touch the cause. On the other hand. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be expected to cure Rheumatism. They are for the blood, and they make new blood and tone the whole system enabling it to throw off the Rheumatic Poison. It's a fact that they've cured a lot of Rheumatism in Australasia. The following particulars given by a one time great sufferer illustrate how they cure. "1 suffered for years on and off from Rheumatism, and it only got worse as 1 grew older," said Mrs. Richard Phillips, liourke-sireet, near Castle-street, Kalgoorlie. "I was very fond of gardening, and one evening, after kneeling in some wet grass, I felt myself getting dreadfully stiff. 1 was married at the time with three children. 1 had this attack for a little time, and then it wore off, only to come on again some months later. 1 would suffer dreadfully when the attacks were on. I used to have to cook on a colonial oven, and every time I bent over it I would feel as if 1 were falling down. The Rheumatism was chieliy across the back and in the hips and the back of my knees. I would feel as if I had lead at the back of. them, they were so heavy. My feet would swell dreadfully, so that in summer I could not dream of putting a boot on. 1 could hardly put my feet to the ground, such pains went through me, and when 1 came up the back steps 1 would have to drag my feet after me. My left wrist and liand got very stiff. I slept allright at night. I daren't sit in a draught, or a cold pla-ee, and I felt every change in the weather. I was in bed a fortnight once with it. 1 used to get a feeling •'as if a cross-cut saw had gone through my back. I, would be afraid for anyone tv touch me or come near me. I would bo in pain froni the sole of my foot to the crown of nfy head. When I started Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I was most careful in following the directions as to diet, etc. 1 would keep the box in the pocket of my wrapper so I shouldn't forget to take a, dose at mid-day, and I used to take two pills at night ps well, f took a good many boxe6, and by the time they were finished the Rheumatism had disappeared completely, and my health since has been all 1 could wish." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by chemists and storekeepers, or sent by mail, post paid, on receipt of price, is per box, six boxes 16s 6d, by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington.— Advt,,
