RHEUMATIC CRIPPLE

SIX YEARS OF TORTURE. HOW DR. WILLIAMS 5 PINK PILLS CURED MRS KING OF OTARA. "For six years I was a rheumatic cripple,” says Mrs Annie King ot Otara, “and Dr Williams’ Pink Pills worked a positive miracle when they cured me.” That is tha straight, solemn statement made by the wife of Francis King, a prosperous South Island settler. For 9 years, Mr and Mrs King have lived in Otara—but they are also wellknown in Fortrose, Invercargill and Gone. In fact, it was at Coze that Mra King was first attacked with the Rheumatism that kept her a bed-ridden, painracked cripple for so many years. Her case was known to every doctor m Southland and Dunedin.

“I was so helpless that I had to bo lifted in and out of bed,” said Mrs King. “The Rheumatism knotted and twisted my hands, and my legs were completely crippled. The pain nearly drove mo mad. Often I screamed aloud. Neither doctors nor common medicines did me the least good—but Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People cured me like magic. They drove overy drop of rheumatic poison out of my system, raised me from my bed, and made ma the strong active woman I am to-day.” Tho news of this wonderful case was published four years ago—and the medical profession was naturally anxious to know if it was a hasting cure or not. So a Special Commissioner called on Mrs King this Winter and found her just as healthy and active as when Dr Williams’ Pink Pills first cured her.

“Yes,” she cried. “I’m cured for good! My blood was in a wretched state wizen we lived at Gore, and my whole health broke down. Mr King called a doctor m, but I rapidly grew weaker. Terrible headaches made me suffer something awful. I got hot and cold by turns, and changed from a fiery red to a sickly yellow'. My stomach was all upset, and no medicines did me any good. Everything I ate turned sour. My blood was full of acid, and that, I suppose, caused the Rheumatism that crippled me. “After these attacks ox Indigestion, my hands and legs used to swell up,” Mrs King went on to say. “Then my fin go- ‘3 grew' stiff and my joints sore and swollen. Hard ugly knots came zip on my knuckles, and my legs got so stiffened w'itli pain that I couldn’t walk. In a few' months I w'as -absolutely crippled. The agony often made «ue scream aloud, and everyone said I was Die most pitiable sight in New Zealand. “Of course I had doctors. They all said it w r as Rheumatism * in its W'orst form. They declared I was hopelessly inourable. Then Mr King brought a fourth doctor from Dunedin—but, he could do no more than the others. I iresigned myself to be a rheumatic oripple for life. My hands and legs were all deformed, and I w'as twisted and paralysed wdth pain. For six years I suffered untold torture, a burden on my family and friends. “At last, my husband decided to give Dr Williams’ Pink Pills a fair trial,” continued Airs King. “He got a few boxes from Templeton, the Waikawa storekeeper. Air Templeton said he had no faith in them—but my husband had made up his mind, and now Templeton can’t find any w'ord of praise too strong for Dr Williams’ Pink Pills. “Tho first tw r o boxes didn’t seem to do mo any good,” Airs King went on. “but, to my delight, I got a wrenderful appetite while taking tho third box. Then I felt my strength ooming back overy day. Soon tho swelling vent down in my hands and legs, and my joints were nob nearly so sore. Gradually I got back tho use of my legs. All tho pain disappeared, and my health improved so much that I have never had Indigestion or Rheumatism since. Twenty-six boxes cured me for good.” “Yes, I spent £3 5s on Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for tho wife,” Air King put in/ “and no man ever laid out money better. She is strong and well to-day, and as smart on her feet as any woman in tho district.” Dr William/ Pink Pills cured Airs King by driving tho rheumatic poison out of her blood. They actually make new blood—just that; nothing more.
