HE WAS IN BED FOR ONE YEAR WITH RHEUMATISM

HE NOW LOOKS FORWARD WITH PLEASURE TO THE WINTER. The cold days of winter are near at hand, if not already here. The unhappy sufferer from rheumatism and such ailments dreads the return of his or her complaint. There is one way, however, by which rheumatism may be positively and permanently cured. In proof of this we append the following statement: — Our reporter recently visited Mr Walter Tye, of 33 M’Arthur-street, Ultimo, Sydney, whose marvellous recovery from a most severe attack of

acute rheumatism has been the subject of much comment in that neighbourhood. Mr Tye readily volunteered to give the following statement of his illness and recovery: — ‘I am a milkman by trade, and ride on the cart when distributing milk We serve a very long round. You can readily see that the very nature of my occupation compels me to be out in all sorts of weather, for whatever happens we must not disappoint our customers. It is some eighteen months ago that, after being out in very inclement weather, I commenced to suffer from aching agonies in limbs and body, and flying pains and stiffness in the joints; and 1 also experienced sudden chills, generally succeeded by heavy sweats. The pain I suffered was so severe that sleep was an impossibility, and should I doze off I would be suddenly aroused by spasms in the muscles of the joints in which the rheumatism was worst. I had the best medical advice, and the premises of a well-known chemist were fairly ransacked in search of a specific that would tend to alleviate my agony. To make a long story short, I was laid up for twelve months. ‘Relief, however, at last arrived, and from an unexpected quarter. ‘Hoiler-maker Jarvis and his wife are near neighbours of ours, and I had read of his wonderful recovery from locomotor ataxia by the agency of Dr. Williams’ rink Pills. Thinking they might possibly have a beneficial effect in my own case. I determined to try them, and did so. It was not until after the third box that 1 experienced any decided change for the better, but you must bear in mind that mine was a ease of long standing, and. it was feared, one that might become chronic. My health then improved by leaps and bounds, and I am now. as you can see. strong and hearty. I took in all eight boxes. ‘The nature of my business calls for the display of considerable activity

and I am pleased to state that I have had no return of my old symptoms, and can face the coming winter without any anxiety.’ ‘Have we your permission to publish these particulars. Mr Tye?’ ‘Certainly you have.’
