AN INCURABLE CRIPPLE CURED; DR WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS.. \ ■ ■ “For fully thirty years X -was never a. day free from Rheumatismi,’’ said Mara Jacob Matthews, Queen Street) Masterton, “ I suffered the greatest pain a woman could bear. For months I never left my bed. I lay <m my back, suffering untold torture. The cleverest doctors in tbe town could do mo -no good. They said my Rheumatism was in tbe blood. I .was «, crippled wreck till Da Wiliams’ Pink Pills set me on my feat, strong and well again. ".Never to my dying day shall I forget wihat I went through. Often I shrieked with agony. I was wrapped in flannels and blankets —and even the touch of tbees almost sent me mad. At night the sweat rolled off me, until I thought I would dio with sheer weakness. My joints were so stiff that I could not bend my elbows or knees. I could not turn in bed to save my Mfe, I was the most miserable woman on Hod’s eacth. “ The pain I suffered was enough to kill twenty people. It was. no wonder my nerves broke down. The least noise irritated me. Even the shutting of the. bedroom door jarred me. Every day I wished myself dead. X was a burden to myself and a terrible expense to my husband. . The best treatment did mo no good. . ■■... “ For mouths I lived on nothing but milk and sloppy foods. And at last . I turned against these. My skin was dry and hard—X didn’t seem to. have any blood in my veins at 'all. I felt as if all my bones were broken, and my flesh battered and bruised. Words cannot describe what X suffered. _ " go it’s no wonder my cure is the talk a! Masterton. For over fifty years I have been in the district, and everyone here knows how bad I was—how I lay in ceaseless agony day and night. Indeed, when I look back now, I wonder how I lived through it all. I had given up all hope,’’ Mrs Matthews went on to say, “ when I read that Dr Williams' Pink Bills for Pale People had cured a-man who hadn’t left his bed for years. When they cured one cripple. I thought they might- at least, es.se my pain. I tried them—and they certainly saved my life. _ . “ Soon after starting Dr Williams’ Pmk Pills.’’ concluded Mrs Matthews,. “I got a wonderful appetite. Then the pain began -o ease up. po that X could! get a little .sound sleep. Soon I lost the old . down-hearted feeling. I picked up hope,' and kept ngnt on with Dr Wll'Homs’ Pink Pills.
