RHEUMATIC CRIPPLE.

MRS VIOLETTA ROGERS IN AGONY DAY AND NIGHT BED-RIDDEN FOR MONTHS DOCTORS GAVE HER UP NO RHEUMATISM NOW D® WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS. “ I was so crippled with Rheumatism that the doctors said i would never wmk again,” said Mrs Violetta Rogers, Manchester tonoet, Christchurch. ”it was as much as I coma do to leed mysolt. Morning idler morning I had to, bo dressed and earned Irom my bed to the dining-room. There, on Uio couch, I would lie until bed-time, as helpless as tho day I was bom. Eveiy joint and every musc.e in my body was tilled with pain. If I wanted to turn Irom one side to tno other, someone had to move me. My moans and groans could be heard in the street. Life was such a misery that I often prayed tor Death. Tho doctors could find no way to ease my pain. They said my case was hopeless. And so it was—till I started Dr Williams’ Pink Pills lor Pale People. Bcfor four months were out, they, put mo on my foot as strong and active as you see me to-day. A tell everyone that a dozen boxes of Dr Williams’ Pink Pills are worth all the doctors and all the medicines that money can buy. “ Six years ago I got iny first attack of Rheumatism,” aaid Mrs Rogers. “ Somehow I think it must have been in my blood for years before it started to torture mo. Dull gnawing pains oamo in my shoulders, and then spread down my arms, la a few days my fingers were so stiff and swollen that I could not close my hands. My arms were crippled every bit as bad. I couldn’t even raise my hand to my head. Every day the Rheumatism spread further. It was so bad in my bad: that I had to cry out every time I stooped. Little by little the pain worked down my legs. My knees got stiff, and were all red and swollen! At last every bone in my body aohed. The pain wore me down to a wreck. I became weaker and weaker, until I was forced to lie up altogether. I couldn’t move hand or foot. “ All tho neighbours know how crippled I was,” added Mrs Rogers. “ From my head to my toes, I was one mass of pain. It was even in my eyes’. In fact, I was almost blind with tho agony I suffered. Often I fo.t that I could not struggle against tho pain another day. My flesh felt as if I had been battered and bruised. I could not bear anyone to come near me. All my joints were sore and tender. Often they burned like fire. I had, to have two pillows on each side of me to keep tho bed-clothes from touching rue. I was a misery to myself and everyone in the house. My husband got me everything that money 'could buy. But for ail that, the Rheumatism got worse. My feet swelled up to twice their size, and 1 thought I had Dropsy. “ Year after year I suffered like this. When the doctors could do no more for me, I tried every' mortal thing that people said was good for Rheumatism. In spite of it all, I went from bad to worac. At last, I gave up all hope. I saw nothing ahead of me but a few mors years cf agony, aud a cruel death at the end. Sometimes I thought. I would go mad before the end came. No one but God knows what I suffered. " I was at Death’s door when an old friend called to see me. All the time she sat by my bed 1 was in agony. She knew that all tho doctors had given me up, yet :-hc did her best to put fresh hope in me. ‘ Why not try Dr Williams’ Pmk Pills?’ she asked. ‘Oh,’ I said, ‘ there’s* nothing will put an end to my sufferings now but Death.’ But my friend said sho know better than that—aud she wont straight and bought me a box of Dr Williams' Pink Pills. That hex gave mb a belter appetite than I had had for many a long day. Two move boxes seemed to make me stronger and gave me fresh heart. My joints and muscles were' not nearly set stiff, and in a littlo while I got back the use of my legs and arms. The swelling wont out of my feet and I was scoa able to get up and walk, whereverI liked. Twelve boxes of Dr Williams’ Pink Pills cured me of Rheumatism that the, doctors could not even case. To this very .day, tho neighbours will toll you that they never expected ms to walk again. My one regret is that I didn't try Dr AVillisuns' Pink Pills sooner. They would have saved mo years of suffering and nxisense.” Dr Williams’ Pink Pills cured Mrs Rogers by driving the rheumatic poison nut of her blood.
