DO YOU HAVE RHEUMATISM EVERY YEAR?
IF YOU DO YOU ARE DOCTORING SYMPTOMS, NOT THE DISEASE. Stratford Man Cured Himself by Driving Rheumatic Poison from his Blood. Mr Albert Orange, Fleet Road, Stratford. Mr Orange gave an account of his illrcaa to a reporter, who took down the following statement: "Three years ago I thought that I would be an old man before I was a young one—l had Ehcu-.
mutism, anr Sciatica. My trouble started with a sharp pain in the groin. Scon it got so bad that it was a struggle for mo to get to work, and I was in agony all day long. Some 'work I oonid not do, because I could not stoop down to it. It was as if the sinews of my right leg were drawn up. It was impossible for me to put on my socks and boots myself—my wife had to do it for mo. I rubbed my legs with embrocations of all sorts, and spent pounds on other remedies, but it was only wasting my money. I could hardly walk, my leg was so stiff, and I just hobbled along. When sitting in a , chair, I. had to have my legs stuck out straight. I put in a solid twelve months of terrible agony. Through a friend I came ,to take Dr Williams’ Pink Pills, After the third box I began to get better. I took seven boxes altogether and then I was cured. All last winter I did not have the slightest twinge, so I reckon that I am cured for good.”
