Afc limes I simply couldn't put my feet to the ground, the agony was unbearable. The ankles were as stiff as iron and red and inflamed. Sharp twinges would dart up each leg. as if every muscle and nerve were red hot. At night I'd lay awake for hours. I'd have to keep my knees almost up to my chin. J couldn't put my legs out straight. After perhaps a week of these tortures the pains woidd ease off, and I might be free for a couple of months, and then be attacked again. 1 dreaded a cold windy day. I was always in fear of another attack coming on. I used to notice my ankles were very swollen. I wpuld dread anyone bumping up against me, and as to the parts being touched, that wasn't to be thought of. If I were resting I dreaded the least movement, as even rising out of 11 chair was difficult and the pain would treble itself. After ;i little exertion in the daytime the pains might lessen, but never away. I felt thoroughly pulled down with it. I fell off in looks and weight, and the attacks began to come on more often and last longer and get more acute. At last seeing; that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured rheumatism early this year, I tried a box. Before that was finished I felt> the pain lessening. I bought smother and another after that, and gradually the rheumatism left my system. The twinges lessened with each dose. After the first box was empty the stiffness and swelling went away, and the inflammation lessened. J got about .much more easily, and could put my feet to the ground and walk firmly and without pain, and of course sleep much better at night. I shall always he glad to recommend this medicine, it has been of the greatest benefit to me."

Inflamed and Swollen Joints. CHRISTCHURCH WOMAN'S BAD TIME WITH RHEUMATISM. COULDN'T BEND HER KNEE OR DO HOUSEWORK. HOBBLED' ABOUT WITH A STICK. CURED BY DR WILLIAMS'. PINK PILLS " I used to do a good d,eal of laundry work,, and I suppbse my hands being always in the water and my getting wet often brought on the rheumatics," said Mrs John Cockle, 28 Brougham street, Sydenham, Christchurch, New Zealand. "It appeared first in tha right hand, and then the left began to suffer, though never quite so acute.'/ as the other, and gradually the poison siicad through my system. J <.ot worse and worse. My right knee got very bad, it swelled up tremendously, and became inflamed and. angry looking. I couldn't bend it, and to kneel was out of the question. I rubbed the parts with every liniment I could hear of, but the pain always came back. I felt so sore, I'd scream if anyone came near me. I'd feel as if the muscles and nerves were being drawn up into tight knots, and like lightning a spasm of pain would dart through each limb. I couldn't do any housework, my daughter-in-law had to help mo, and often 1 had to get in my next door neighbour j who knows how much I suffered, to perhaps'fasten my dress, or do. a little trifle, for I couldn't put my arms up behind me, or raise them to do my hair. I 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 didn't lay up, but I could easily have done so, as- on some days I was quite helpless. At night I sometimes wouldn't close- my eyes till day break with, the pain. It was always worse when I got warm, and I'd lie in torture; and often have to call out for some one to lift me into a fresh position, and in the mornings I'd have to bo helped up. I. could not dip my hands into cold water for fear
