CONSIDER YOUR RHEUMATISM.

Treatment that will cure and treatment that won’t.

Something needed to drive the cause of Rheumatism out of the system —A cure from the Right Treatment.

It is worth while for the Rheumatic sufferer to consider how lie can banish tho complaint from his system. Likely tho first ho docs is to rub the affected parte with a strong hot liniment. After the heat and friction of rubbing has passed, ho notices that tho old pains are as baa as ever. If Rheumatism were merely skin deep, the rubbing and liniment might help, but Rheumatism isn’t' on the surface. It is deeply rooted in the system, and the cure must go a step further back it must drive the cause from the system. With, nothing to cause Rheumatism there can be no Rheumatism. Doctors have found out that a rapid thinning of the blood is a marked feature in Rheumatism, and that a cure follows an increased blood supply. Such treatment either attacks the cause of Rheumatism or enables the system to throw it off. This accounts for the remarkable success of Dr Williams’ Pink Pills in curing Rheumatism. They have an actual specific action in the formation of new blood, and they have cured hundreds of cases of Rheumatism. Tho case of Mrs Louie Noel, of 'Bucknell road, Glanville. was a bad one, but after enduring agony for two years she was cured bv Dr Williams’ Pink Pills, she said;-~ "“After I had Rheumatic Fever an of Rheumatism set in. My hands feet wore mostly affected, and I began to suffer cruelly. The attack got more acute and fastened on my system instead of working out as I had hoped. My knees, ankles, shoulders, and wrists were all affected Tho only sign externally was a little swelling of tho back of the hands, otherwise there was no trace to tho sight, but tho stiffness and pain were almost unbearable. For months I had to be dressed and have my hair done. I could not lift up my arms, or more than half close rny fingers in tho mornings, the muscles would be as stiff as iron. I could not do a bit of needlework. Of course, I never went outside the liouso ; it was painful even to walk from room to room, and I then had fo lean against a table or chair. I eould not put on a boot; I had to wear large-sized men’s canvas shoes. I dreaded bedtime, for I would only just get settled and tho pain would bo worse than ever. The weight of a blanket seemed too much, and I dreaded to move an inch. Liniments I tried, but they could not rub the pain away. I dare not put my hands near cold water. If I prepared any •vegetables I always had to use lukewarm water. I nad sharp, shooting pains sometimes as if the very flesh was lining torn. I had to get in outside help for the house; I could not manage things. I had such pain I did not wish anyone to come near me. and sometimes if anyone walked across the floor I would feel nervous. I liad to call a neighbour in to cut the bread for the children’s breakfast or fo help make tho beds. Suffering as I did, a person is glad to read of any possible cure, and I looked carefully through a pamphlet about Dr Williams’ Pink Pills that was left at the house, and sent out for a couple of boxes. I began fo feel some ease, so we bought some more, and gradually the pain and stiffness left the joint. I began to get about with freedom, and do little things about the house and to sleep better. It was a wonderful relief to bo active once more, and I am glad to sav I have been free from pain ever since.*’

Although for a number of years past the non-Bpispopal churches in Now Zealand and in other countries have abstained from treating Christmas Day as an occasion for special religious observance, there are wellinfonmod people who hold that this comparative neglect will not much longer continue. The Rev. J. R. Glasson, pastor_of the Terrace Congregational Church, Wellington, in conversation with a Dominion reporter, expressed an opinion that tho members of the non-Episoopal bodies would ere long revive the custom of holding scr r vice on Christmas Day. A Forty-mile Bush dairy farmer received creamery cheques totalling £lO5 and £lO6 1 for the months of November and December from 52 cows.
