OFTEN HELPLESS FROM RHEUMATISM.

INGLEWOOD WOMAN USABLE TO DO HER WORK. STIFF HANDS AND SWOLLEN JOINTS -DULL ACHING- PAIN IN THE SHOULDERS, AGGRAVATED BY COLD AND DAMP—CURED BY DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. " It's somo while back since I was first attacked with Rheumatism," said Mrs Emily Middlemiss, Durham Road, Inglowood. " The pains came on suddenly, and I wondered what was wrong with me. Gradually j got worso, and first thing in the morning my hands would feel quit© stiff, and for a while! I would not be able to do anything until they got warmed up. The backs of my hands and up my arms swelled a- lot. The pains in my shoulders often stopped me from milking, as I could not lift the bucket. Pretty well all day I had a dull aching in my shoulder—it was always worso after washing. I could always tell when it was going to rain—the pains were always sharper. Often I had to get the girls to brush my hair—l could not lift my harm- to my head. "My appetite fell off, and this made me pretty weak. I became quite lun down. I used to go about the house in a listless sort of way, and did not care if I did anything. or not. Sometimes I thought ihat I would never get better. I would have given anything to he free of the terrible aching pains, even for a few days. I was very bad with tho rheumatism while we were living at South Canterbury, but it got worse after wo came up North. As a last hope I started Dr Williams' Pink Pills. I must have been taking them for nearly three months before I felt any benefit, and then they began to do their work. I could eat better, and I could] do my milking much easier. The awful aching pains did not catch me so badly in tho arni3 and shoulders. As I kept on I could feel myself getting better every day. The pains were getting less and less, and every dose was putting new life into tue. For tho past twelve months. I have not had a sign of rheumatism."

It must be borne in mind that while cold and damp aggravate rheumatism and sciatica, the causo is uric acid! in the blood. Dr Williams' Pink Pills drive out the acid, and as the cause is removed, the complaint does not return, even when the patient'is exposed to further cold and damp. Dr AVilliams' Pink Pills for Pale People have cured Rheumatism, because they go right to the root of the trouble in the blood. Bad blood is the cause of all common diseases, like anosmia (bloodlessness), eczema, paleness, headaches, neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, lumbago, backache, kidney complaint, liver trouble, biliousness, indigestion, general weakness and the special ailments that only women-folk know. Bad blood is the one cause —and Dr Williams' Pink Pills are the one cure. Because they actually maka new blood. They do just that one thing; but they do it well. But, of course, you must get the genuine Dr Williams' Pink Pills, for Pale People—3s a" box, six boxes 16s 6d, from chemists and storekeepers, or sent, post free, by the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington. Write for hints as to diet, etc. 2001
