ABOUT CURING RHEUMATISM.

Something: Needed to Clear the Complaint from the System* ♦ A Sufferer Who Has Tried This Method Relates his Experience. Experience in treating Rheumatism has made it plain that not much is to be gained iby rubbingr the affected parts with liniments or 'by using hot applications. The seat of the trouble ds not to :be reached in this way. There is still difference of opinion amongst medical men as to the actual cause of Rheumatism, .but such good results in Australasia have followed treatment with Dr Williams" Pink Pills, that any sufferer with Rheumatism may feel confidence dn trying- them. The principle of treatment with this remedy is that they tone the system to a point that enables it to throw off the Rheumatic poison in" the .blood, through the. ordinary channels of the body. Further. Rheumatic sufferers have found that these pills permanently euro them. The complaint does not return, so long as they keep themselves in a reasonably g - ood state of general health. The experience of Mr Riirhard Griffiths, a Melbourne 'bricklayer, residing- at 31 Herbert St., Albert Park, should 'be of interest to any Rheumatic sufferer. The following are his own words: — -v "Through exposure at my work in the >budlding trade I contracted Rheumatism, for I couldn't always be putting my jacket on for every shower. Twing-es began to trouble me off and on in ail my limbs. My thighs were the first attacked ; then my calves and arms snd shoulders. The attacks . would come on quite suddenly and almost take my legs from under me. First I would feel them in one part and then in another. The joints would SO quite stiff and creaky. Some days I could hardly put on. my clothes, or lift my arms above my head, and at work it might 'be just the same. I could often not lift hand to do work that was above my head. The pains would -be agonising. Such dartingi twinges would go through each muscle. At tames I could not grip anything- firmly. My fingers would 'be so stiff, I could, not open or close my hands freely. Many a night I would lie awake for hours, j just afraid to turn, for I always felt ; worse as soon as I ,got warm,., and I pains would settle in the shin '.ones ' like strokes from a planing iron. • I used to try all .kinds of liniments, but, the rubbing- would only send the-p;am away for. a time. Any extreme of weather would start the pains. I" dreaded any change in the weather. I could not stand any one coming near me at times for fear of touching the limbs, they would fee! so sore and tender. It was painful to sit down and hard to get up out of a cliair, I would be so stiff. I would, ibursf into a perspiration some days with the pain. My appetite fell away and I felt generally run down'ion, but a course of Dr Williams' Pink Fills took away all these troubles. The freedom •began.to come back to my limbs, and the stiffness gradually went out of my muscles. I have not I\a<i,one trace of it since."
