Case of Captain Holland, master mariner, Dockwray Bank, East Holborn, South Shields. 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 in limbs and body. There wasconsiderableswelling of the joints, and altogether he had a most miserable time. Happening to come across an article in anewspaper desertbiugthecureof a similar case by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, he resorted to the same means as a last hope of recovery. Asked the result of his proceeding, be said, * I took one box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and felt great relief; I persevered, taking three pills after each meal, and now I am healthy and strong again. I have only been visited with the pain once since taking the pills, and this was a slight attack which a few pills very speedily dispelled. I feel myself a young man again.*
