RHEUMATISM IN THIS WHOLE SYSTEM.

■EVERY JOINT RACKED NIGHT AND DAY WITH PAIN,

THIS MAN WAS MARVELLOUSLY CURED, AND GIVES HIS EX-

PERIENCE FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHER SUFFERERS.

"I had an attack of rheumatic fever, and ..after that I caught a chill," eaid Mr T-hos. Reid, care of Mrs E. M. Thomas, Semaphore road, Granville; Pt. Adelaide, S.A. " I was leaning against a hot boiler and caught cold after. I noticed the rheumatism first in the ankles, then it spread to my knees, then to my arms, and finally it went right through me. I was in bed twelve week*, and off work for-much more, The pain was agonising; I could not raise my arms up. All my back and shoulders were affected. I didn't-like anyone near-me. If I moved I'd scream out with the agony. My hands were not affected, fortunately. I could not eat with such pain in my system and I began to fall away. The presuro of the bedclothes was too much for- me, and yet I couldn't, push, even tire sheet off by myself;' ■ I had a- grinding gnawing pain in every ''muscle, and when":• 1 moved l the pain- would- simply rack me.' -. The pain 'was; always worse from 5 in the morning, a real jumping pain, and it was impoesible to close an eye. I dare not press the affected parte, .I'd feel the least. touch. ~I lived on beef tea and bread and milk and such.like. I couldn't eat anything else. 1.-jell away and lost nearly a stone in weight. My only relief"-waa, to'.-.lie absolutely still. If I.ttrooked a ringer, I'd feel a pain running- through my shoulder a,nd down',my:;arm'.;- Every joint seemed creaky and; rusty;.••'All these weeks I'was in. bed practically helpless, and the pain never absent for moro than a couple of minutes or so at a time, except when I'd fall off to sleep exhausted: I'd'wake up groaning with the pain ; ninning through me',. At last", T decided/ to give Dr Williams' l -Pink;Pilla'a v trkly and I'm glad to.say tliay.'.cojn'pMlely'xiirccl me."
