Have you ever heard of people with Rheumatism curing themselves with a liniment or something to rub on ? Of course you haven't. Think of all the people you know who have had Rheumatism. By cure we don't mean relief. The friction and heat of rubbing sometimes eases the pain, but rubbing can't drive out the Rheumatic poison. That's the point about curing Rheumatism. The complaint will return time and again just as long as there is anything in the system to cause Rheumatism. It is cured when the cause is out and not until then. Dr. Williams* Pink Pills are recommended to persons with Rheumatism, because they have so cured a great host of cases —some pretty bad cases, too. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills tone the whole system, enabling it to cast out the Rheumatic impurities through the regular channels. That's the way to cure Rheumatism. When this is done the Rheumatism is permanently cured, and as long as the blood is - kept pure and rich the patient will be free from further attacks of Rheumatism. Among others they have cured Mrs. Annie Cockle, 28 Brougham Street, Sydenham* Christchurch, who says: — " I used to do a good deal of laundry work, and I suppose my hands being always in the water, and my getting wet often, brought on Rheumatism," said Mrs. Cockle. "It appeared first in the right hand, and then the left bagan to suffer, and gradually the poison spread through my system. I got worse and wotso. My right knee got very bad, it swelled up trelooking. I could not bend it and to kneel was out of the question. I rubbed the parts with every liniment I heard of, but the 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, for I couldn't put my arms behind me, or raise them to do my hair. 1 1 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 sometimes wouldn't close my eyes till daybreak with the pain. I would often ,have to call out for someone to lift mo into a fresh position, and in the morning I'd have to be helped up. I couldn't close my right hand. It was a bother to hold a needle. This attack lasted some months and then became less acute. I went away for a holiday to Gisborne. I felt better while I was there, but the Rheumatism returned when I got back to Christchurch, I got no lasting benefit from the treatment, so I started Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. My son had tried them as a tonic and found them so good. I fancied I was a shade better when I had finished the first box, so I got some more. I took three pills a day at first, then I doubled the' dose and gradually got the poison out of my system. I began to feel brighter and stronger. The swelling and inflammation slowly left my knee and the limbs got more supple. I could sleep much easier and get about and go out without trouble. If ever I felt another attack coming on I should take another course of Dx, Williams' Pink Pills with confidence," Shopmen only try to sell imitations and substitutes to people they think easy to gull. If you are asked to take something else it ts no compliment to you. The price is 3s. per box, six boxes 16s. 6d., of dealers or from the Dr. Williams* Medicine Co, of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington.
