MARTYR TO GOUT.

Richard Jenner, Kangiora Two Years of Tortnre Crippled Hand and Foot Hard at Work Again Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills

•’The pain I went through with RheuBintir Gout was enough to drive a man urn!.’’ sail! Mr Itiehnul Jenner, of King* street. Kangiora. “For **wo years 1 never knew when an attack was going to cripple me. For weeks 1 couhln’t get off n»y bed. When 1 had to be moved it was torture Ih‘\( ikl words. As hick happened, 1 chanced to hear about Dr. Wi.hams’ Pink Pilis for l‘al«- People. It took twenty-two boxes of Clieni to rid me of the Gout—but they did it well while they were about it. For the past tour years and more 1 haven’t had any aehe or pain. To-day I am over 70, but there aie few men in the district can work like me. . “For a good while before the Gout took me I was anything but well,” said Mr Jenner. “No mat er where 1 was or where J went, 1 was miserable. My friends said they wouldn't know me for the same man. Every thing seemed to rub me up the wrong way. There wen? tlinen when 1 hadn't a civil word for my best friend. 1 was beginning to lose all heart. I never felt like tackling my meals. Many a day I brought my food home, just as it was pn. up for me in the morning. A sandwich or two lay like a stone on my chest, and gave me a sharp pain at the end of my breast, it kept up for hours, often I couldn’t get a wink of sleep. In the mornings I got up as limp as a rag. and with every bone in my body readv to ache.

“11 was in the winter of ’PS that I went down with my first attack of the Gout. 1 was driving one of my teams aioug the read, when all of a sudden a sharp pain caught me in the right foot. 1 thought it was just a bit of a cramp tha*l would soon pass off. But I soon found out my mistake. My foot got as hot as tire, and swelled up so that 1 had to pull my boot off. Every jolt of the waggon was like a knife thrust. When 1 got home they had to help me straight to bed. There I lay for days in mortal agony. When the pain died down it left me a cripple. I was just able to hobble about, and that's all. “1 was living a* Flaxton at the time, and there are scores there who know how bad I was,’’ Mr Jenner went on. “Every time I drove into Kaiapoi I had to be lifted in and out of the trap. For two long years I was a misery to myself and everyone around me. Every attack of the Gout was worse than .he one before. The last bout capped sill the others. The pain I suffered was awful. Hour after hour 1 lay moaning and groaning. A tearing pain shot from my ankle down to my toes. It was so tierce

that 1 had to clinch my fists to keep from crying out. I was bad enough in the daytime, but at night I was fifty times worse. 1 hardiy ever closed my eyes. Perhaps, just as it was coming on to morning, I might doze off. But I woke if anyone walked across the room. The least knock against the bed nearly sent me mad. Every day 1 was getting worse. I started to worry, for 1 couldn’t help hinking 1 was always going to have this Rheumatism. Nearly every joint in my body swelled up, and the skin round them got all red and shiny. I was as helpless as the day I was born. My elbows got stiff. I couldn’t put my hand up to my head if you paid me. When my knees started to ge u drawn up, I gave up hope. If ever a man suffered torture I did. My flesh was ho tender that I feiihln t bear the bedclothes to touch me. “I was at my worst when 1 got to know of a case of Gou: that Dr. Williams' Pink Fillo had cured," added Mr Jenner, “They were my sufferings to a T. There ami then Mrs Jenner sent to May's store for some of tlie pills. At flrut I thought they were not going to do me any good, for I had nearly got through the second box In*fore I felt better in any way. But my wife said I was eating letter all along. From that out 1 gained every day. One by one the pains died down. In the mornings I got up with a light heart, ami ready to do a day’s work with anyone. 1 kept on with Dr. Wiliiama’ Pink PHIh for over five months, but the time was well spent, I can tell you. When Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me, they never did more for any man.” BemeiDlter, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People actually make new blood—nothing more. They do not act on the boweW.
