THE TRUE CAUSE OF RHEUMATISM

Is Acid in the Blood and it Can Only be Cured Through the Blood.

Greymouth Woman Who Wai Cured Relates Her Experience.

Not many years ago doctors thought rheumatism was only a local pain caused by exposure to cold or wet. Now they know that rheumatism is caused by the blood becoming tainted with uric acid. This acid contracts the muscles, stiffens the joints, and iiritates the nerves. Then the cold and wet make the joints and muscles groan with aching rheumatism. You blame the weather, but the real cause is add in the blood. If not promptly treated the stiff ness spreads and the pain grows worse each year, until you are a helpless cripple, tortured day and night. If the disease touches the heart it means sudden death. You can’t cure Rheumatism with liniments, plasters, or hot cloths. You must go to the root of the trouble in the blood. The one sure, scientific w r ay to cure Rheumatism is Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, because they actually make new blood. They sweep out the poisonous acid, loosen the joints and muscles, and bring ease and freedom where before had been pain and misery. The following is a typical instance of how they cure. ‘‘About four years back, Rheumatism gradually appeared in both my hands, and in time I was quite crippled,” said Mis Robert Leach, 17, Leonard-st., Greymouth. ‘‘l suppose it came on from putting my hands in cold water and hat water for my household duties. It began with a tingling and burning hot pain in every finger joint. I could move the joints but they swelled up dreadfully, and the skin grew red and shiny. I tried all sorts of liniments and had medicine from the doctor but got no lelief. My hands at times would be quite numb. At night I had to hang them over the side of the bed. I could only sew or knit with the greatest difficulty, all the time the pain never left me, The doctor said I had Chronic Rheumatism, and I got very downhearted, ns I quite expected to be crippled in the future. In winter I felt worse than in the summer. I was a sufferer for more than a year. At last I tried Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and by slow degrees the pains left my hands. My finger joints got easier and the swelling began to go down. I kept on with the pills and the numbness and soreness went for good. I’ve never been troubled since. I also felt much brighter and stronger, and toned up in every way, and my appetite improved. My health now Is excellent, there isn’t a trace of Rheumatism left.”
