, TOO STIFF TO WALK. . ' RHEUMATISM AND LUMBAGO. MRS. .TAN]-: WELSH, AIT AN GAT A, CRIPPLED HAND AND ffOOT. j NIMBLE AS EVER TO-DAY. / DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. "The Rheumatism across my .shoulders wal so bad that I couldn't do half-an-hour's ironing if von had paid me," said Mrs. Jane Welsh,'of Kaitangata. "The .first thing .1 knew, the pain and stiffness got into ray back and legs. Before the Winter was out I was crippled hand and foot, and couldn't walk- a step. Nothing did m© any good at all till I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills—and they set mo on my feet again as nimble a» ever 1 was. "I hayo been living in Kaitangata thesa 30 odd years," said Mrs. Welsh, "and I suppose my husband is as well-known as any man in the town. There weren't many that could boast of any better health than I had up to six or seven years ago. Bar a touch of rheumatics now and again, when'.there was a change of weather, I never had any cause to" grumble up till then. It was something;new.for'me when I wont off ray food. By the time dinner was dished up I didn't care if I never ate'a' bite of it. They, used to tell mo that I didn't take enough to keep body and soul together. There wasn't a bit of go left in me. Some days I was just able to drag through, the day, and that' all. By night/time every bone in my body was aching. I went to. bed fair done out. Tlia worst of it was I couldn't sleep when I got there. All night long I tossed and turned. Next morning I was more tired than ever. My blood was all run down, and I hadn't the strength c! a, child. It was nothing but my strong will that kept me going. ■•' ' . "•'That Winter the Rheumatism came on ten times worse than I ever had it before," added Mrs. Welsh. : "It caught me acros» the shoulders, and I could never tell you how 1 suffered. When I woke in the morning 1 was so stiff and sore that I couldn't move an inch. It couldn't have been worse, if I had been beaten black and blue. Every move was agony. But. the house wouldn't look after itself, so I had to be up and doing. As-the day wore on- my shoulders might ease up a bitbut it was just as bad, or worse, next morning. Little by little the pain spread down my back. It settled just above my hips—and I could never get rid of that dull, gnawing ache, day or night. II would have killed mo if I had tried to swecrt out a room. It got so bad that I couldn't evon turn in bed.

" It wasn't long before my knees began tc get stiff," Mrs. Welsh went on. "The pain got down into my joints, and I went through agony every time I took, a step. Whenever we bad a spell of bad weather I nearly went mad with what I suffered. The pain had my legs so .stiff and crippled that it was all I could do to crawl about the house from room, to room.- You never saw a woman in such a plight. Walking was out. of .the "question. When I sat down I couldn't get up again, till someone gave mo a handand then I had to dry out with the pain. ' I tried every mortal thing that I ever heard was good for Rheumatism—-but not one" of -them gave mo any ease. Every week ; I got worse and worse. In the end.. 1 was nothing but a cripple. 1 gave up hope, and made sure that I was going to be a martyr to Rheumatism for the vest of my days. " Dr. Williams' Pink Pills'were the only thing that saved me.from .that fate," added Mrs. Welsh. "A friend of mine made me promise to give them a fair trialand Mr." Welsh went down to the chemist here in Kaitangata and got mo half-a-dozen boxes. In a week I got back my old relish for my meals. Everyone said that that showed Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were suited to my case. But I was well on with the third box before I could see that, they were doing my Rheumatism any good. Then, bit by bit, the pains in my legs eased up, and I began to get about the house again. ■ Before long al! the stiffness went out of my shoulders, until there wasn't a sign of the Rheumatism left. And all this time I was getting'stronger and stronger, till I felt I could do a hard day's washing and never feel it. At' last I was ai nimble as any woman ten. years youugei could ask to be. From that day to this ]" have never had a touch of Rheumatism even in the worst winter weather— that shows that Dr.. Williams' Pink Pills.cured me fos good." ':*.'■ Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do only one thing, but they do it —they actually make new blood. They don't act on the bowels. They don't ti..ker with mere symptoms/ They {won't cure any disease, that isn't caused originally by bad blood. But when Dr. Williams* Pink Pills replace bad blood with good blood they strike straight at the root and cause of all common diseases lika headaches, sideaches and backaches, kidneytrouble, liver complaint, biliousness, indigestion, anaemia, neuralgia, sciatica, nervous exhaustion, failing powers, locomotor ataxia, and the special secret troubles that! j every woman knows but that none of thera like to talk about, oven to their doe-tors..
