SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT RHEUMATISM

Magic Rings and Other Foolish Treatments. - There is Really Only one. Way to Successfully Treat the Complaint. People have Rheumatism when their blood becomes tainted with lactic acid. Rheumatism is cured when the acid is driven from the system. Some few people adhere to the old-fashioned idea that rubbing the affected joints with a hot liniment or something else will cure the trouble. This is foolishness because thetrouble is in the blood, and the rubbing does nothing to remove the cause of the trouble. To wear a steel ring, said to be magnetic, to cure Rheumatism is a silly superstition. ,?r>i The question of curing Rheumatism in solely a question of driving the acid out of the system. Then there will be nothing to cause Rheumatism and the aching swollen joints and all the pains will be gone. What is needed to cure Rheumatism is a blood medicine like Dr Williams' Pink Pills. They are for the blood. They tone the whole system to a point that enables it to expel the Rheumatic poison through the natural channels of the body. The following case of a Ohristohurch woman. Mrs Jred Reed, 23 Melrose street, who suffered with Rheumatism and was cured, proves their value in this complaint. " I was troubled very much with Rheumatic twinges in my knees, especially the right one, and in my arms and shoulders, i' sometimes couldn't move my arms or do mv hair. The knuckles and ioints were stiff and sore. I couldn't practically bend either of my legs. The complaint was always worse on a warm day or when I was warm in bed. Fortunate! t I have naturally a good constitution and wouldn't give in, but all the sarrw* I suffered srreat pain and inconvenience for months. However I found Dr Williams' Pink Pills a, capital remedv. T took one after oach meal, and thev drove away my rheumatism. The stiffness and soreness slowly left my joints, and presently I could move everv limb freely and suffer, no painful shooting twinges. My health is now very ffood. and I am verv nleised to be able to recommend Dr WilHuirf Pink Pills to otk«r Rheumatic sufferers."
