BED-RIDDEN CRIPPLE Cured of Rheumatism by Dr "Williams' Pink Fills

"I was a ■nain-raoked bed- ridden cripale till I took Dr Williams' Pink Pills. They drove every drop of aching acid out of my system, and made me as active as a schoolgirl. They never did more for any woman in New Zealand."

That is the straight solemn statement made by the wife of Francis King, a prosperous South Island settler. For nine years Mr and Mrs King have lived in Otara — but they are also well known in. Forfcrose, Invereargill, and Gore.

" I was so helpless that I had to he lifted in and out of bed," said Mrs King. "The Rheumatism knotted and twisted my hands, and my legs were completely crippled. The pain nearly drove me mad. Often I screamed aloud. Neither doctors nor common 'medicines did me the least good — but Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cured me like magic. They raised me from my bed, and made me the strong 1 , active woman I am to-day."

The news of this wonderful case "was published nearly five years ago, and the medical profession was naturally anxious to know if it was a lasting cure or not. So a special commissioner called on Mrs King, and found her just as healthy and active as when Dr Williams' Pink Pills first cured her.

"Yes," she cried, "I'm cured for good! My blood was in a wretched state when we lived at Gore, and my whole health broke down. Mr -King called a doctor in, but I rapidly grew weaker. Terrible headaches made me suffer something awful. I got hot and cold by turns, and changed from a. fiery red to a sickly yellow. My stomach was all upset, and no medicines did me any good Everything I ate turned! sour. My blood was full of acid — and that, I suppose, caused the Rheumatism that crippled me.

"After these attacks of Indigestion my hands and legs used to swell up," Mrs King went on to say. " Then my fingers grew stiff and my joints sore and swollen. Hard, ugly knots came up on my knuckles, and! my legs got so stiffened with pain that I couldn't walk. In a, few months I was absolutely crippled. The agony made me scream aloud, and everyone said I was the most pitiable sight in New Zealand. "Of course I had doctors. They all said it was Rheumatism, in its worst form. They declared I was hopelessly incurable. Then Mr King brought a fourth doctor from Dunedin — but he could do no more than/ tihe others. I resigned myself to be a rheumatic cripple for life. My hands and legs were all deformed, and I was twisted) and paralysed with pain. For six years I suffered untold torture— -a, -burden on my family and friends.

"At last my husband decided to give Dr Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial." continued Mrs King. "He got a few boxes from Templeton, the Waikawa storekeeper. Mr Templeton said he had no faith in them, but my husband had made up his mind.^ '' The first two boxes didn't seem to do me any good," Mrs King went on, " but, to my delight, I got a, wonderful appetite while taking the third box. Then I felt my strength coming back every day. Soon the swelling went down in my hands and legs, and my joints were not nearly so sore. Gradually I got back the use of my lee?. All the pain disappeared, and my health improved so much that I have never had} Indigestion or Rheumatism since. Twentysix boxes cured me for good "
