RHEUMATISM DRIVEN FROM THE BLOOD.
» A Remedy Which Assists Nature Produces a Permanent Cure, as this Case Proves*. n Miss Annie Cussions, daughter of Mrs M. Cussions, Edward street, Woodville, Adelaide, owes her recovery from rheumatism to this treatment, and her statement should interest every sufferer. " Annie was puny and thin," said her mother, Mrs M. Cussions. '' I took her to a doctor, and he treated her off and on right up to when she was twelve. When she was about ten rheumatism began to show itself. She suffered terribly with pains in different parts — sometimes in the legs, and then in the arms, and mostly in her head. She was often laid up in bed for weeks at a time, and her hands and feet would be so swollen that she could hardly move them. Then at times the swelling went up to her knees. I had to use hot flannels to ease the pain. She hardly ever ate anything, and I had to coax her to eat at all. I had her under several doctors, and in the children's hospital for three mouths, but the treatment did not benefit her at all. Her heart was terribly bad, and I often could hear it beating when some feet from her, and see her dress moving with the beats. When I brought her home from the hospital I began to give her Dr Williams' Pink Pills. The first box showed a little improvement, and the second made a great difference. I gave her twelve boxes, and she was in splendid health. I must have spent close on .£2OO on Annie and doctors and medicine. She has not had the least return of rheumatism now for nearly two years." '■ Everyone in the neighbourhood knows how ill I was," said Miss Cussions, '" and now I am quite strong and healthy.*'
