Exposure to the weather had so crippled him that he was totally incapacitated for active exertion by rheumatism and rheumatic gout, from which he had suffered for nearly nine years. Three doctors had treated him without effect. He suffered daily the most agonising pains iu limbs and body. There was considerable swelling of the joints, and altogether he had a most miserable time. Happening to come across an article in a newspaper describing the cure of a similar case by Dr Williams’ Pink Pills, lie resorted to the same means as a last hope of recovery. Asked the result of bis proceeding, he said, “ I took one box of Dr Williams’ Pink Pills and felt great relief; 1 persevered, taking three pills after each meal, and now I am healthy and strong agafh. I have only been visited with the pain once sinoe taking the pills, and this was a slight attack which a few pills very speedily dispelled. I feel myself a young man again."
