IN PAIN DAY AND NIGHT.

RHEUMATISM AND EUJMBAUU. MRS JANE WELSH, KAITANGATA. CRIPPLED HAND AND FOOT. NIMBLE AS EVER TO-DAY. DR WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS. ‘ ‘ The rheumatism across my shoulders was so bad that I couldn’t do half an hour’s ironing if you paid me,” said Mrs Jana Welsh, of Kaitangata. “The first thing I knew, the pain and stiffness got into my back and logs. Before the winter was out, I was crippled hand and foot, and couldn’t walk a step; Nothing did me anv good at all till I tried Dr Williams’ “Pink Pills—and they set me on my feet again as nimble as ever I was. “ I have been living in Kaitangata these thirty odd years,” said Mrs Welsh, “ and I suppose my husband is as well known, as any man in the town. There weren’t many that could boast of any better health than I had up to six or seven years ago. Bar a touch of rhemalics now and again when there was a change of weather, I never had any cause to grumble up till then. It was something new for me when I went off my food. By the time dinner was dished up, I didn’t care if I never ate a bite of it. They used to tell mo that I didn’t take enough to keep body and soul together. There wasn t a bit ‘of go left in me. Some days I was just able to drag through the day, and that’s all. By night time, every bone in my body was aching. I went to bed fair done up. The worst of it was, I couldn’t sleep when I got there. __ All night long I tossed and turned. Nest morning I was more tired than ever. “ That winter the rheomatism came on ten times worse than I ever had it before,” adcLd Mrs Welsh. “It caught me across the shoulders, and I could never tell you how I suffered. When I woke in the morning I was so stiff and sore that 1 couldn’t move an inch. It couldn't have been worse if I had been beqten black and blue. Every move was agony. But the house couldn’t look after itself, so I had to he up and doing. As the day wore on, my shoulders might ease up a bit—but it was just as bad, or worse, next morning. Little by little the pain spread down my back. It settled just above my hips—and I could never get rid of that dull gnawing ache, day or night. “ It wasn’t long before my knees began to get stiff,” Mrs Welsh went on. “ The pain got down into my joints, and I went through agony every time I took a step. Whenever we had a spell of bad weather I nearly went mad with what I suffered. The pain had my legs so stiff and crippled that it was all I could do to crawl about the house from room to room. You never saw a woman in such a plight. Walking was out of the question. When I sat down I couldn’t get up again till someone gave mo a hand—and then I had to cry out with the pain. I tried ,every mortal thing that I ever heard was good for rheumatism —but not one of them gave me any ease. Every- week I got worse and worse. In the end, I was nothing but a cripple. I gave up hope, and made sure that I was going to bo a martyr to rheumatism for the rest of my days. “Dr Williams’ Pink Pills were theonly thing that saved me from that, fate,” added Mrs Welsh. “ A friend 'of mine made me promise to give them a fair trial—and Mr Welsh went down to the chemist here in Kaitangata and got me half a dozen boxes. In a week I got back my old relish for my meals. Everyone said that that showed Dr Williams’ Pink Pills were suited to my case. But I was well on with the third box before I could see that they were doing my rheunuvtisjn any good. Then, bit by bit, the pains in my legs eased, and I began to get about the house again. Before long all the stiffness went out of my shoulders, until there wasn’t a sign of the rheumatism left. And all this time I was getting stronger and stronger, fill I could do a hard day’s washing atu| never feel it. Af last I was as nimble .qs any woman ten years younger could ask to bo. From that day to this I have never had a touch of rheumatism, even in the worst winter weather —so that shows that Dr Williams’ Pink Pills cured me for good.” Dr Williams’ Pink Pills' by making new blood strike straight at the cause of all blood diseases, such as rheumatism, lumbago, backache, kidney trouble, liver complaint, indigestion, biliousness, debility, anromia, and spinal weakness.
