Sonv: thing Needed to Clear the Complaint from the System. A Sufferer Who Has Tried This Method Relates his Experience. Experience in treating Rheumatism has made it plain that not much is to be gained by rubbing the affected parts with liniments or by using hot applications. The seat of the trouble is not *o be reached in this way. There is still differences of opinion amongst medical men as to the actual cause of rheumatism, but such good results in Australasia have followed treatment with Dr Williams' Pink Pills that any sufferer with Rheumatism may feel confidence in trying them. The principle of treatment with this remedy is that they tone the system to a point that enables it to throw off the Rheumatic poison in the blood, through the ordinary channels of the body. Further, Rheumatic sufferers have found that these pills permanently cure them. The complaint does not return, so long as they keep themselves in a reasonably good state of general health. The experience of Mr Richard Griffiths, a Melbourne bricklayer, residing at 31, Herbert street, Albert Park, should be of interest to any Rheumatic sufferer. The following are his own words:— "Through exposure at my work in the building trade I contracted Rheumatism, for I couldn't- always be putting my jacket on for every shower. Twinges began to trouble me off and on in all my limbs. My thighs were the first attacked; then my calves and arms and shoulders. The attacks would come on quite suddenly and almost take my legs from under me. First I would feel them in one part and then in another. The joints would go stiff and creaky. Some days I could hardly put on my clothes, or lift my arms above my head, and at work it might be just the same. I could not lift my arms to do the work that was above my head. The pains would be agonising. Such darting twinges would go through each muscle. At times I could not grip anything firmly. My fingers would bo so stiff I could not open or close my hands freely. Many a night I would lie awake for hours, just afraid to turn, for I always felt worse as soon as I got warm, and pains would settle in the shin bones like strokes from a planing iron. I used to try all kinds of liniments, but the rubbing would only send the pain away for a time. Any extreme of weather would start the pains. 1 dreaded any change in the weather. I could not stand anyone coming near me at times for fear of touching the limbs, thev would feel so sore and tender. It was painful to sit down and hard to get up out of a chair, I would be so stiff. I would burst into a perspiration some days with the pain. My appetite fell away, and I felt generally run down, too, but a course of Dr "Williams' Pink Pills took away all these troubles. The freedom began to come back to my limbs and the stiffness gradually went out of my muscles. I have not had one trace of it since. The price is 3s per box, six boxes. 16s 6d, and if you have trouble in getting them, send a postal note for the amount to the Dr Williams' Medicine Co of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington and they will be sent post free by return mail.
