"For the next five or six years, until I was finally cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink .Pills. I was never free from the dread of this torture.” Mr Lewis continued. "Some.timeti I could just hobble around the house, shuffling one foot before the other. Occasionally. I was better for a spell, and able to work but a couple of hours later one -of my mates would have to take my place, 'and send me hobbling home again, doubled up with the agony. Every year, for three or four months at a stretch. I would have ■<.ne of mv bad attacks. Life then was one long agony. God only knows how I bore 'the pain. I used to fancy it wasn't quite so bad when L lay flat on my back with •my feet propped up on three or four pillows. higher than my head. But it was 'agonv beyond words to get me into that position. ' I could have shrieked with pain eveiv time they touched me. But every morning I had to be lifted from my bed to the couch —ami then lifted back at night. I felt as if every bone were broken and jarring on<* against the other. I could not move my toes without sending a spasm of pain right up my legs. Many a time L had to clench iny teeth with the pain, • while an agonised sweat poured oft me. "At last I was worn right out with the long-drawn agony.” Mr Lewis wen< on. “I grew thin and pale, and had hardly the strength of a child. I had no appetite and no interest in life. Sometimes the pain didn't let me get two hours’ sleep in a week. Nothing did me the least good. Mv legs were barbed in hot water till tliev were par-boiled—but the Rheumatism was just as bad as ever. When the doctors failed. I tried every remedy I saw advertised to cure Rheumatism. I throw away £3tM) in tins way—and didn't got one hour's ease in return. At last I gave up hope. I felt another bad attack would kill nie. Many a time I prayed for Death. If I'd had poison I would have taken it. ••I had lost all faith in medicines, and Mrs Lewis had hard work making me give Dr Williams' Fink Fills a fair trial, Mr Lewis concluded. "To my surprise they did me good from the jump. The. second box gave me a bigger appetite than I’d had for' years. 1 picked up heart, and after that every dose did me good. The pains eased up and the swelling went down. I gained in strength and weight. My muscles loosened, and my nerves grew steady. At last every trace of Rheumatism was driven out of my blood. To-day I am one of the healthiest mon in the district.
