Forty Years of Rheumatism and Three Attacks of Influenza.

DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS EFFECT A MARVELLOUS CURE. " Until a short time ago I had not known for 40 years what permanent relief from pain was." Thus spoke Mrs T. J. Thomas ofHeathcote, Victoria, recent'y to a reported. How greatly Mrs Thomas suffered from rheumatism, repeated attacks of influenza/ enlargement of the liver, and inflammation of the kidneys is vividly shown by her remarks. "I am over years of age," she continued. "It was as near as I can remember in '57 that I had my first attack ! of rheumatism, and these have followed me up, on and off, for 40 years. About nine years ago my troubles were added to by enlargement of the liver, and this in itself more than sufficient to kill most people of my age, was aggravated by inflammation of the kidneys. As you may imagine, I I was in a very critical condition for a long time, and when just about to pull together again another severe attaok of rheumatism brought me down. This brings me to about five years back, when I caught influenza for the first time. But, to shorten my story, I had further attacks of rheumatism and influenza again the following year, and though the influenza missed me for the next two years, rheumatism did not. But I had more to face yet, for about a year and nine months I was 'aid up with a third attack of influenza. I never seemed to be able to throw this off as I had the others, and it made me feel terribly lowspirited. My oldest enemy, rheuma'ism, kept going at me, and it seemed that between them they were going to get the best of m-. I had four or five doctors, but their advice and physic was not the len?t bit of good, and I just felt I could not last much longer. The pain I suffered beats description. I could not lie down, and the only position in which partial relief was to be found was sitting, bearing to one side. I cou'd not bear anything to touch my back. I don't like to think of the torture through which I have passed iit was terrible. I lost all power in my legs. At this stage, my attention was attracted to some of the ' published enres which had been effected by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People of cases which had been pronounced by doctors and hospitals as hopeles3, and I determined to make a trial of them. This was in tho early part of April, and I was feeling about as bad as I had ever felt. By the time the third box was taken a marked improvement was noticed, and this happy alteration continued un'.il I was at the twelfth box quite enabled to discontinue the treatment. My friends and acquaintances were astonished at my recovery, and quite a number are taking the pills, and others have expressed their determination to do so should they ever feel in need of treatment." " I believe you sometimes go into town." " Quite true, and this means a wa'k of three miles, with a rise or two to face ; a very fair undertaking for one on the wrong side of 74." And you are confident that Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have been the means of restoring you to health ?" "I am perfectly confident of this, and have no hesitation in saying so, and I shall recommend your wonderful remedy whenever I have an opportunity."
