BEWARE OF RHEUMATISM

Every hour’s delay in treating Rheumatism enables the malady to get a firmer hold upon your system. Every time you take unsuitable medicine or employ improper treatment you add to the suffering you will endure in the future, for Rheumatism is a progressive ailment. The first twinge of rheumatic pain may not seem worth making a fuss about, but consider the other extreme. Have you ever seen an old man or an old woman with a back bent almost double and hands twisted and distorted into hideous shapes? These hands are practically useless. Around those stiff and ugly joints there is a roek-like deposit of chalky substances—uric acid. It is too late to disperse it now. Every movement, every step that is taken, every time the poor sufferer bends or 6toops or twists or turns, he or she endmree indescribable agony which will continue aa long as life .lasts. Yet those twisted hands were once os shapely as vour own; that bent back was straight, and the useless muscles were supple and strong. Rheumatism quickly cripples the strongest men and women. Be on your guard. Watch for the earliest symptoms, and then take De Witt’s Pills —the remedy that has already proved successful in many thousands of cases. Chemists everywhere sell and recommend De Witt’s Pills, and as they only cost 3s 6d per box the price will' certainly not stand in your way. Why not get a box at once and toko two pills just before you go to bed? That is tbe way to obtain quick relief from rheumatic pain, and also avoid suffering later on.
