RHEUMATIC VICTIM FOR FIFTEEN YEARS.

LIFE WAS A TORTURE FROM GIRLHOOD. OFTEN DELIRIOUS~AT NIGHT WITH THE AWFUL PAIN. SWOLLEN, ACHING, TWISTED JOINTS—YEARS OP TREATMENT PROVED OF NO AVAIL UNTIL DR WILLLAMS’ PINK PILLS WERE TRIED THEY CURED HER. Mrs Jane Olssen was a helpless, suffering Rheumatic victim for fifteen years. There could scarcely be a more obstinate or distressing case of tho complaint. Years of treatment seemed of no avail, and heart, brokenly Mrs Olssen thought she would be a rheumatic sufferer until the end of her days. But she fortunately heard of Dr Williams’ Pink Pills as a cure for the complaint, and after taking a course of them she is as strong, healthy, and active to-day as any woman could" wish to be. Dr Williams’ Pink Pills cured Mrs Olssen, as they have cured hundreds of New Zealand rheumatic victims, because rheumatism is caused by poisonous acid in the blood, and, being a blood medicine, the complaint was driven out of the, system. Speaking to a reporter of her case, Mre Olssen said: “ Right from the time that I was about fourteen years old I suffered with Rheumatism. I was never free from the pains, which got worse during tho winter. Often I could hardly move. I was often laid up in _ bed with the dull, gnawing, aching pains. No matter what position I laid in, I got no relief. Sometimes my hands were puffed and swollen, and often my feet were so swollen that 1 could not get a slipper on. My knee-joints were also swollen, and the skin was shiny and glossy, as if it were stretched too tight. I could not walk much, I can assure you. When I went into a shop and sat down I was often afraid to get up again, because I felt so stiff and the pain racked me fearfully. My hands were so stiff that I could not ■write or do any sewing. In fact, I could not do anything except bear the gnawing pain as well as I could, and depend on other people for assistance. Sometimes when I had a very bad attack I would often get delirious during tho night. The doctor did not do me any good, and I thought I was going to be a rheumatic invalid for the rest of my life. In fact, I often wished that I could die. Then when I had almost lost hope I read how a case of Rheumatism had been cured by Dr Williams’ Pink Pills. I got some from Air Heading, the chemist in Port Adelaide, but I had very little hope of them curing me; but to my surprise I began to get better. I found I could eat better, and the pains gradually left me. I continued taking them.'-and they cured me, and I have not had the slightest return of Rheumatism since.” Mrs Olssen has lived at her present address, Hart street, Glanville, S.A., for ten yeans, and is well known and highly reI spected in the neighborhood. | Dr Williams’s Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers, or, if you cannot get them locally, send direct to the Dr WilImms’ Medicine Co., of Australasia.
