BEWARE OF RHEUMATISM.

Every hour’s delay in treating Rheumatism enables the malady to get a firmer hold upon your system. Every * time you take unsuitable medicine or j employ improper treatment you add | to the suffering you will endure in the ; future, for Rheumatism is a pro- ' gressive ailment. j That first twinge of rheumatic pain may not seem worth making a fuss abvtrt:, but consider the other extreme, i Have you ever seen an old man or an old woman with a back bent almost double and hands twisted and distorted into hideous shapes? Those hands are practically useless. Around I those stiff and ugly joints there is a rock-like deposit of chalky substance—- | uric acid. It is too late to disperse jit now. Every movement, every step that is taken, every- time the poor sufferer bends or stoops or twists or turns, he or she endures indescribable agony which will continue as long as life lasts. Yet those twisted hands were once as shapely as your own; that bent back was straight, and the I useless muscles were supple and strong. Rheumatism quickly cripples the strongest men and women. Be on your guard. Watch for the earliest symptoms, and then take De Witt’s Pills —the remedy that has already proved successful in many thousands of cases. Chemists everywhere sell and recommend De Witt’s Pills, and as they only cost 3s 6a per box the price will certainly not stand in your way. Why not get a box at once and take two pills iust before you go to bed? That is the way to obtain quick relief from rheumatic pain, and also avoid suffering later on. o
