CRIPPLED AT HOME WITH RHEUMATISM.
Just Managed to Hobble about
the House.
This Woman who was a Great Sufferer Cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.
"I was so crippled that I had to be helped from one room to another,” Is the way Mrs. G. F. Mayo, Brlghtwater Terrace, Terrace End, Palmerston, describes the pitiable state she was reduced to by Rheumatism. After trying doctors’ treatment and many liniments without benefit, she was cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. These pills are recommended for Rheumatism because the blood becomes loaded with Rheumatic impurities. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills build up the blood, and enable It to cast out the rheumatic poisons with the natural secretions of the body. “I blame living iu a new house for my Rheumatism,” said Mrs. G. F. Mayo. "I began to feel flying aches and pains in all my Joints, and at last they became very acute. My left arm and log were the parts affected. My log swelled terribly. My husband had to help me if 1 wanted to go from room to room; some days the swelling was worse than others. The leg swelled from the knee to the toes. I could riot dream of wearing a boot —a largo slipper was more than enough some days. The Joints would go a glazed shiny red, ami tho skin would bo burning het. I could not cat a meal. For more than a year 1 lived oh wine and biscuits. I fell away and wasted to a shadow. Night and day I would be in agony. My daughter had to look after tlio house, duties and do my hair and help me dress. Doctors' treatment did not benefit me, and I used embrocations and liniments when the pain was extra severe, ” but only temporary relief came. My knuckles swelled largely. I could not close my loft hand. I could not think of holding anything in it. Every joint in the loft leg and arm felt as if it were on the rm k. Tho least change In the weather would bo felt, and I dare not tomb water that was not warm, all the muscles drew up and got tight. I was simply fTightened to put my foot to the ground ever so lightly. 1 was almost as helploss as any infant. One day my mother having tried a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink I’ills for Rheumatism, herself, brought me one. Tim first box encouraged me a little, and 1 scut away for six more; later on another six, and gradually tile Rheumatism was driven out. I took three pills a day for a whii", ami then doubled the dose. Slowly tlm stiffness and swelling went away nnd tlm feverishness and the pain decreased. R was a great day when I eould get about without a stick. I began to eat, mid pul on flesh ami gained tn every way. In time, c.ery time disappeared, and my Joints became as supple ns ever they had been, mid bare kept so. 1 recommend this medicine far nnd wide. Insist oil getting Dr. Williams’ Pink Tills. They are sold by most chemists nnd storekeepers, or if not locally obtainable will bo sent direct by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. of Australasia, Ltd. Welling! for 11/ per box, « boxes Ifl/G.
