I WORD ABOUT RHEUMATISM. 0 A Great Sufferer Explains how the Complaint can be Cured. 4 Half measures in treating Rheumatism aro no good. There's not much sense in merely relieving the pain. The complaint is bound to come back; most likely when it is cold and damp. It's true that a certain amount of relief can bo gained by hot • applications and nibbing; But that's not a cure. There's something in the blood—lactic acid medical men call it—which causcs Rheumatism. Therefore Rheumatism is only cured when this canso is driven out. That's why rubbing and poultices aro no good—it's in tho blood; they can't touch tin. cause. On the other hand Dr. ■ Williams' Pink Pills can bo expected to euro Rheumatism. They 'arc for tho blood, and, they inako new blood and tone tho whole system enabling it to throw off tho Rheumatic Poison. , It's a fact that they'vo cured a lot of Rheumatism in Australasia. The following particulars given by a one-timo great sufferer illustrate how they euro: "I'suffered for years on and off from Rbouniatism/and it only got worso as 1 ! gicw older," said Mrs. Richard Phillips, Bourko Street, Near Castlo Street, Kalgoorlie. "I was very fond of gardening and one evening after kneeling in some wet grass X felt myself getting dreadfully stiff, I was married at the time with three children. 1 had this attack for a little time and then it wore off only to come on again some months later. I would suffer dreadfully when the attacks were on. I used to liavo to cook en a colonial oven, and every tiino I bent over it I would feel as if I were falling down. Tho Rheumatism was chiefly aerosi the back and in the hips and the back of my knees. I would feel as if I had lead at tho back of them, they wero so heavy. lly feet would swell dreadfully so tliat in summer I could not. dream of putting a boot on. I could hardly put mv feet to the ground such pains went through me, and when I came up the back steps I would hove Ic drag my feet after me. My left wrist and hand got very still'. I slept alright at night. I daren't sit in a draft or a cold place and I felt every change in the weather. I was in bed a fortnight once with it. T used to get a feeling as if a cross-cut saw bad gone through my back. I would bo afraid for any one to touch me or come near me. I would be in pain from the sole of my foot to the crown of my head. When I started Dr. Williams' Pi'nk Pills, I was' most careful in following the directions as to diet, etc. I would keen tho box in the pocket of my wrapper so X shouldn't forget to take, a do«e at miil-day, and X used to take two pills at night as well. 1 took a good many boxes and by the time they wero finished 'the Rheumatism had disappeared completely, and my health since has been all I could -wish."
