SIX YEARS A CRIPPLE.

Paralysed by Chalky Rheumatism .Given Up by Five D>ootor*«*. Positive Mlracla Worked . by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "I was absolutely crippled with Chalky Rheumatism, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills worked a positive miracle when they set me on my feet again, "cured for good," said Mrs Annie King. Mrs King is the wife of Francis King, whom all his neighbours describe as a fearless man of the' most rugyed honesty, in Invercargill, Gore and other parts of Southland, where they are well-known Mr and Mrs King are held in the ' same high esteem. Hundreds could hardly believe their eyes when they read that Mrs King had been cured of her Rheumatism. For years her terrible suf- > ferings had been the talk .of all who. know her. Five doctors had given her up; and she had been bed-ridden for six years — yet every ■ paper of any consequence in the I whole, of New Zealand published, from her own* lips, the statement that Dr. Williams* Pink Pills has completely cured her beyond the< slightest doubt. "You never saw anyone so crippled and tortured as I was with Rheumatism and Gout," said Mrs King. 'Tor six years I couldn't walk a step. I was bo helpless that I had to be lifted in and out of bed. My whole health went to pieces. My stomach turned sour, and I nearly went mad with spitting, bilious headaches. My kidneys were in a terrible state. My .whole system was full of rheumatic acid. Often I screamed with agony. For days I moaned from morning to night with tho pain. All my muscles were drawn and twisted. My joints grew stiff and crippled. I could not bend my knuckles,; and my hands were all knotted. .My arms and legs, swelled up with the poison in my blood. ~ *■ was a sight to look at. Doctor after -octor said they had never known such a case of Rheumatism. It had such a hold on me that nothing could get it out of my system. That's what they told Mr King, but he .said he would move Heaven and Earth to find a cure for me. He tried kid- * ney cures, but they did not do me one atom of good. He wasted a lot more money on medicines that only acted on my bowels and did not even do my Indigestion any good. Then he tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The first 1 few boxes made me as hungry as a hawk, and that showed they were suited to my case. It was a. month before I felt they were doing my Rheumatism any good — but after that every dose did me good. They drove every drop, of the aching acid out of my blood, and took away all my pain. Ifl. the end, they raised me from my cripple's bed, and made, me the strong, active woman I am to-day. I owe my life to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." The. news of this wonderful case was published nearly five years ago, and the medical profession was jiaturally^ anxious to know if it was a lasting cure or not. So a -special commissioner called on Mrs King, and found her just as healthy and .active as when Dr Williams' Pink* Pills first cured her. "Yes," she cried, "I am cured for good! Before Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me I didn't have one day of good health for nine solid years. For the last five years I haven't known what it is to have a pain or an ache. We were living at Gore "when my health broke down. Mr King called a doctor in — but, from first to last, my case puzzled every doctor I had. They all said it was Chalky Rheumatism in its worst form. No medicine in the world could ever cure me. They said I might; as well make up my mind to be bed-ridden for life. Then Mr King brought a fifth doctor from Dunedin — but he could' no no moro than the others. My hands and legs wero all deformed when he saw me. He said I was past help. For six long years I lay paralysed with pain. "After the doctors had given me up, and everything else had failed. Mr King decided to give Dr Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. He got a - few boxes from Templeton, the ..Waikawa storekeeper. After the first month, it was plain Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were curing my Rheumatism. The swelling went down in my hands and logs, and the pain eased tip. Joints that I hadn't moved for seven years grew supple again. Gradually, I got back the use of my arms and legs. In three months, I was walking about just as if I never had a thing the matter with melt is nothing less than a miracle. I will never believe again that anybody could have Rheumatism so" "bad that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills could not cure them. It took twenty boxes- to cure me — but then I was cured for good." - Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured Mrs King by driving the rheumatic poison out of her blood. They • actually make- new blood — just that; nothing more. In the same way,- they drive out the germs of other diseases, and build up the blood to carry healing, health and . strength to every nook and corner of the body. In New Zealand, Dr." Williams' Pink Pills have cured, the worst cases of bloodleesness, indigestion, biliousness, liver complaint, kidney trouHe,, weak lungs.asthmn, influenza, headaches, backaches, lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia, .nervousness, spinal ■weakness, skin complaints, and the special ailments of girls and women whose. blood supply becomes. weak, scanty, or irregufar.
