BEWARE OF RHEUMATISM.
Every hour’s delay in treating Rheumatism enables the malady to get a firmer hold upon your system. Every time you take unsuitable medicine ox employ improper treatment you add to the suffering you will endure in the future, for Rheumatism is a progressive ailment.
That first twinge of rheumatic pain may not seem worth making a fuss about; but consider the other extreme. Have you ever seen an old man or an old woman with a back bent almost double and hands twisted and distorted into hideous shapes? Those hands are practically useless. Around those stiff and- ugly joints there is a rock-liko deposit of chalky substance—uric acid. It is too late to disperse it now. Every moment, every step that is taken, every time the poor sufferer bends or stoops or twists or turns, ho or she endures indescribable agony which will continue as long as life lasts. Yet those twisted hands were once as shapely as your own; that bent back was straight, and the useless muscles were supple and strong. Rheumatism quickly cripples the strongest men and women. Be on your guard. Watch for the earliest symptons, and then take Da Witt’s Pills—the remedy that has already proved successful in many thousands of cases. Chemists everywhere sell and recommend De Witt’s Pills, and as they only cost 3s 6d per bos the price will certainly not stand in your way. Why not get a box at once and take two pills just before you go to bed? That is the way to obtain quick , relief from rheumatic pain, and also avoid suffering later on.—[Advt.]
