Sad Day for the Storekeeper

A worthy lady—a storekeeper, of Mangom ,i—has been recounting to her friends a memorable episode in her life. A local pressman found out the lady, Mrs John Bowman, at her store in Ahipara, and the following story was elicited: — Mrs Bowman, after explaining the nature of her occupation, added:—"The duties of my store naturally keep me busy, and when, one day, I found myself partially disabled by rheumatism I was greatly distressed. The pains in my hands and legs were intense, especially in winter, and the muscles were stiff and contracted. I tried many advertised medicines without obtaining relief, and suffered for several years. As I stocked Dr Williams' pink pills and found their sale increasing, I decided to try them. Even the first box benefited me, and by continuing with them the pains and stiffness disappeared and 1 regained good health. I would like to see this published, as it might be the means of doing come other poor people good. My ago is 54." Cold and damp provoke rheumatism, which is really caused by a bad condition of the blood, aggravated by improper food and drink. The blood then irritates the joints and muscles, canning severe pain when they are sensitive through cold or damp. Liniments can never cure rheumatism, though the rubbing alleviates pain : tho rubbing does more good than the liniment, but neither will cure rheumatism. But rheumatism, even in the aged, can bs cured by Dr Williams' pink pills, because they act directly on the blood and neives, purifying the blood and strengthening tho nerves in such a manner as.to drive rheumatism from the system. In the same way they cure sciatica, neuralgia, lumbago, bronchitis, consumption, paralysis, St. Vitus's dance, scrofula, eczema, all ladies' ailmonts, loss of manly strength, etc. Sold by the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, six boxes sixteen and six, post free, *>.nd by chemists and storekeepers—but mmd you ask for Dr Williams'. Book free on application.
