JOINTS STIFF AND SWOLLEN. - -■+ Petone Man Crippled with Severe Rheumatism. Couldn’t Lift his Arms above hi« Head. How he Found a Cure. Mr John Robert Smith, 21 Gear street, Petone, near Wellington, recommends Dr Williams' Pink Pills far and wide. He tells how they cured him of a bad attack of Rheumatism, which crippled him so that he could not even raise his arms above his head or dress himself without his wife's help. Mr Smith says : “ I had a very bad bout of Rheumatism when in Invercargill some time back, and it lasted for months. At last I shook it off, but when. I was over on the West Coast, which is very wet, it came on me a Grain. My shoulders became affected, and the pain gradually spread down as far as the calves of my legs. For months 1 was crippled. We had an hotel at the time, and it was a great trouble, to even get about. I could not have done any laborious work. For - nearly two years my aims were so stiff I could not raise them above the shoulders. Mrs Smith had to help me on with my coat and vest when I had to go to town. All my joints swelled, and my arms and wrists and hands puffed up. My fingers got so stiff 1 could hardly bold a pen. I often woke with the pains perhaps in the neck and shoulders. Before the day was done the pain would have flown to the calves and ankles. My knees were always free, but the attack passed right down the back of the legs to the ankles. The affected parte looked sore and shiny. I used all sorts of liniments, but they did not cure me. I could always feel every change in the weather. The shooting pains all through me often kept me awake at night, and I lay there afraid to turn. In the mornings I'always felt stiff and worse. Towards evening the pain might lull a. bit. The pain and weakness often made me break out in a profuse perspiration. When mv ankles and insteps were affected I found any walking excessively painful. .An acquaintance told me about Dr Williams' Pink Pills, and after a lengthy trial they drove mrt all the symptoms. 1 have" recommended this medicine fur and wide, all through the West Coast, and here, as well, and I give th : s statement ns a dutv. I used to suffer so much, but since I finished the course I’ve not hrd a touch of this painful complaint.” Dr Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, but if in doubt send to the Dr Williams’ Medicine Co. of Australasia, T.td..
