THE WORST SIX WEEKS OF H!S LIFE. Steward on Wimmera attacked by Rheumatism. Had to hobble about on cratches —Agony to move— Six weeks helpless in bed— Cured by DR WILLIAMS' P.NK PILLS. Mr William A. Pratt, an Auckland man, who is a steward on the steamer Wimmera, was crippled hand and foot with Rheumatism, unable to move in bed for sijfc weeks. When he did get up he could only hobble about on crutches. He found nothing to do him any good until he tried Dr Williams' Pink Pills, which cured him. Mr Pratt had to learn the lesson which every rheumatic sufferer must learn sooner or later, viz., that Rheumatism can't be rubbed away with liniments and lotions. It's'ln the blood : uric acid in the blood which must be driven out. When the acid is gone there's nothing to cause rheumatic pain. Dr Williams' Pink Pills drive it out. That's the simple way they cure Rheumatism, " Twelve months ago I put in the worst six weeks of my life," said Mr Pratt, who is well known in Auckland, and whose parents live at Newcastle. " I had Rheumatism, and it gave me fits while it lasted* The dull aching paia attacked me in the arms and shoulders, and when I turned_ in bed I got a sharp twinge. For some time. I could not walk, and had to hobble round! lon crutches. I could hardly dress mysel£ and was pretty well helpless. Even brushing my hair gave me agony in the arms. When sitting- dowv I could not bear my, feet to touch the ground, but had to sit with them propped on a chair. For six weeks T was laid up in Led, helplees. I could just manage to feed myself. I did no<( try to move in bed. if I did I got such sharp twinges of pain that I was glad ta keep still. All the time T was in bed I had the dull aching — no matter in what position I lay it was the same. I wen* clean off my food. I could not sleep much for the pain. It was a. dull, weary trine, and I don't ever want to go through it again. I had the doctor attending me, buti he did me no good at all. Then I tried Dr Williams' Pink Pills. I had read ol cases of Rheumatism they had cured, and thought they would cure me. By the time that I had used three boxes the pa.in had eased up wonderfully, co I kept on, and 1 six boxes drove the Ilheuaiatism clean out of me. That is 12 months ago, and I have not had the lea^t return since, though I've been wet through several times." You can't rub out Rheumatism — it must be cured through the blood. Dr Williams* Pink Pills are a blood-making medicine: that's why they cure Rheumatism. That's why they euro headaches, eideaches, backaches, kidney trouble, lumbago, Sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness, general weakness, and anaemia. All those ailments come from bad blood— and Dr Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. But you must insist' on getting llw 6&me kind as cured Mr Pratt.
