CR ™!SSi Joints, ' Red,.. . Swollen and . Painful, ''—f * ——— .! This Sufferer Tells for the' Benefit of Other Sufferers 'How she Cured Herself. " Sufferers with Rheumatism can,judg« of the suocess of treatment of the complaint with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,' by the particulars of a Very grave.- case given below. In this case Uts. Frances Sheploy, Lane Street, near lodide Street, Broken Hill, was crippled for eighteen months, with.red, swollen, painful-.joints, unable to . hold a single thing in., her hands, or raise, her arms to do her hair. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills filially com-' pletely cured her. The principle of treatment with these, pills is that they enable the system to throw off the lactic acid which causes , the disease; surely the sanest treatment as it goes behind all the symptoms and cures .the cause. The following are Sirs. . Shepley's own words in describing her suffering and, cure;— .

"I contracted Kheumatisnv ' very' severely some time back," ■ v said Mrs. Shepley. "It first attacked me in /my hands, and presently I felt it in. every joint. All my knuckles: cuffed up, and my hands seemed as if paralysed. For months at a time I couldn't hold anything with them. These attacks would ease off after some weeks, but my hands were so hot and feverish that I'd feel as if they were being put into- a heap' of red hot coals. For eighteen months I didn't do a sorap of housework, my daughter had to do everything. ■ My elbow joints were so stiffs and so was'my collar bone, that I couldn't do my own hair or lift up my arms. The joints were red and shiny. The stiffness would leave the arms and back and shift to my knees and ankles for say a fortnight-at a time and then it would go back again and leave the other parts free. , When the feet were affected I could never go out. I'd lie on a couch out on the verandah the live long day. My feet and ankles would swell up to much that to put on a boot, or bear the pressure of one was an utter impossibility. I was helped in and out. of bed. I'dbe'tco stiff hi knees and ankles to move, and if I tried I'd feel as if hot needles -were running into me. Many an hour I'd lie awake in pain and longing for the morning. I used to try bathing the parts in very, hot soda water, and had a. liniment for my hands, but got little relief. I was afraid to put my feet to tho. ground, they had such, a muffled and numb feeling. I couldn't stoop or bend my back. Occasionally- when the ankles were extra bad r could-hardly bear Hie weight' of the bed clothes: ' On a rainy or cold windy day I always felt i'rewh twinges coming on, and. I was as low spirited 11s anyone could be. I thought I would be laid up all my life, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have sot me right. With the second box the first improvement I noticed was that my nerves were getting much steadier and the circulation improving. Everything changed ns I kept on with tho course. I began to want to get about tho house and do little things. With tho fourth box I noticed the stiffness aud pain lea-ving my joints by degrees, then the attacks would cease, and I wouldn't feel the pain 'again for a good period, and when" they did come on they wouldn't bo nearly so severe, and they went on till they vanished altogether." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are 3s. a box, 6 boxes 16s. 6d. of all dealers, or from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington.—Advt.
