THE TRUE CAUSE OF RHEUMATISM

IS ACID IN THE, BLOOD, AND IT CAN ONLY BE CUBED THROUGH TH^ BLOOD; -

! CHRISTCHURCH WOMAN WHO

WAS CUBED RELATES HER EXPERIENCE. .

Mrs John Cockle, 25 Brougham street, Sydenham, Christchurch, says: —

" I ufed to do a good deal of laundry work, and I suppose my hands being always in the water and my getting wet often brought oh rheumatism. It appeared first in the right nand, and then the left began to suffer, and graduj ally the poison spread through my sys- ! tern. I got wors»e and worse. My right knee got very bad; it swelled up tremendously and became inflamed and angrylooking. I could not bend it, and to kneel Vas out of the question. I rubbed the parts with every liniment I heard of, but tlie pain always came back. I felt so sore I'd scream if anyone came near me. I ' couldn't do any housework ; my daughter-in-law had to help me, and often I had to get in my next door neighbour, Who knows how much I suffered, to perhaps fasten, my dress or do a little trifle, ,foi I couldn't put my arms behind me, ,x>r _ raise- them to do" my hair. X couldn't walk outside, and I could only hobble about the house by means of a stick,' or by taking hold of the furniture. I was_ quite helpless. At night I ?ometimes^worddn't' dose my eyes till daybreak with the pain. I Would often have "to call" out for someone to 'ift me into a fresh position, and in the morning I'd have to be helped up. I got no lasting benefit from the doctor's treatment, so I started Dr Williams' Pink Pills. My son had tried them as a tonic and found them co .good. I fancied I was a shade better when I had finished the first box, so I got some more. I took three pilfe a day at first, then I doubled the dose, and gradu- J ally got the poison out of my system, i If ever I felt another attack coming on j I should take another course of Dr Williams Pink Pills witili confidence."
