MARTYR TO GOUT. RICHARD JEXXER, RAXCIORA. TWO YEARS OF TORTURE. CRIPPEED 11ASD AND. FOOT. HARD AT WORK AUAIX. DR WILLIAMS' PIXK TILLS. " The pain I went through with Rheumatic (loul was enough to drive a, man mud," said Mr Richard Jenner, of King street, Rangiora. "For two yoars I never knew when an attack was going to cripple me. For weeks I couldn't got off my bed. When I hail to be moved, it. was torture beyond words. As luck happened, I chanced to hear .about Br Williams' Pink Rills for Pak< People. It took twenty-two boxes of them to rid mo of the gout.; but they did it well wliilo they were about it. For the past- four years and more I haven't had an aolio ora pain. To-day lam over seventy, but there are few men in the district can work like ir.e. " For a good while before the gout, took mo 1 was anything but well," said Mr Jenner. " X'o matter where-1 was in where I went. T was mi.scra.blc. My friends said tiic\v wouldn't know mo for the same man. F.very-thing seemed to rub mo up tho wrong way." There wero times when 1 hadn't a civil word for my bust, friend. I witfi beginning to lose all heart- 1 never felt like tackling my meals.. Many a day ] brought civ food home, just as it was "put up for n:e in iho morning. A sandwich or two lav like a sto-no on"my chest, and gave me ;i sharp pain at.the end of my breast. It kept up for hours. Often 1 couldu't get a wink of sleep. In the mornings I got up u.< limp as a rag, and with every lwme ::; mv bodv ready to ache. •• It was'in tho* winter of '9B that I went .-k of the gout. I was urivuijj uuu <ji u.j teams along the road, when all of a sudden a sliarp pain caught mo in tho right foot. I thought it was just a bit of a cramp, that would soon pass oil. But I soon found out my mistake. My foot got as hot as fire, and swelled n"p so that I had to pull my boot off. Even- jolt of tho waggon. was like a knifo tlirust. When I got homo tlicy had to help me straight to bed. There I lay for days in mortal agony. When tho pain died down it left mo a cripple. 1 was jt able to hobblo about, and that's all. " I was living at Flaxton at tho time, and there are scores there who know ho' kid I was," Mr Jenner went on. "Ever, timo I drove into Kaiapoi 1 had to bo lifted in and out of tho trap. For two long years 1 was a misery to myself and everyone around mo. Every attack of the gout was worse than the one before. The. last bout capped all the others. The pain I suffered was awful. Hour niter hour I lay moaning and groaning. A tearing paw shot from mv ankle down to my toes. Jt was &q iierco" that- I had to clinch my fists tt> keep from crying out. 1 w;is bad enough in the daytime, but at night I was fifty times worse.' J hardly ever closed iriy" eves. Perhaps, just as it was coming oii to morning, I might dozo off. Rut 1 woko it anvor.c- walked across tho room. Tho least' knock against tho bed nearly "seut'me mad. Every day I was getting ■worse. I started to worry, for 1 couldi " liety" thinking I was always going to ha this rheumatism. Xcarly • every joint m my Ikklv swelled up, and tho skin round thorn go't, all red and shiny. I was as helpless as the day T was born. My elbows got stiff. 1 couldn't put my hand up to my head if vou paid me. When my knees started to get drawn up 1 gave up ho]>e. If ever a man suffered torture, I did. My flesh w;is so tender that I couldn't bear the bedclothes to touch me. - I was at my worst when I got to know of a case of gout that Or Williams' Pink Pills had cured." added Mr Jenner-. "They wero mv sufferings to a T. There and then Mrs Jonner sent to May's storo for some of the pills.- • At first 1 thought thev were not going to do me any good, for 1 had nearly got through tho second box before I felt better in- any way. But my wife said L was eating better all along. From that out, I gained every day. One bv one the pains died down. In the morn* I got up with a light heart, and ready to°do a day's work with anyone. 1 kept on with Dr Williams' Pink Pills for over five months, but tho time was well spent, [ can tell you. When Dr Williams' Pink Pills cured' nie they never did more for anv niau." Remember. Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People actually make new blood—nothing ntore. They do not act on the bowels.
