Crippled 18 Months by Rheumatism.

Joints Red, Swollen, and Painful. This Sufferer Tells for the Benefit of Other Sufferers How fche Cured Herself,

Sufferers with Rheumatism can judge of the success of treatment of the complaint with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, by the particulars of a very grave case given below. In this case Mrs Frances Shepley, Lane street, near lodide street, Broken Hill, was crippleed 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 finally completely cured her. ( The | principle of treatment with these pills is that they enable the systems 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 Mrs Shepley's own words in describing her suffering and cur 3:— "I contracted Rheumatism veiy severely some time back," said Mrs Shepley. "It first attacked me in my hands and presently I felt it in every joint. All my kiiuckles puffed up, -and my hands seemed as if paralyeed. 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 scrap of housework, my daughter had to do everything. My elbow joints were so stiff and so was my collar bone, that I couldn't do my o»n hair or lift up my arms. The joints were red and shiny. Tne stiffness wuulu leave tbe 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 ttet were affected I could never go out. I'd lie : on a couch out on the verandah the live long day. My and ankles would sweii up so much that lo put on a boot or bear the pleasure of one Utter impossibility. I was helped in' and cut of bed. I'd be too.stiff in knees and ankles to move, and if I tried I'd ieel 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 the ground they had such a muffled and numb feeling. I couldn't Btoop or bend my back. Occasionally when the ankles were extra bad I could harJly baar the weight of the bed, clothes. On a rainy or culd windy day I always felt fresh twinec coming on and I was as low-spirited as any one could be. \ I thought would be laid up",all my life, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have.set me right. With the second box the first improvement I noticed waa that my nerves were much steadier and the circulation improving.. Everything changed as I kept on with tne course. I began to want to get about the house and do little things. With the fourth I noticed the.stiffness and pain leaving 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 be nearly so severe, and they went on dtcreasing 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.
