I WORD ABOUT RHEUMATISM

\ Great 6ufferer Explains ho"\7 the Complaint can be Cured.

i Half measures in treating 'rheumatism are no good. There's not much sense in merely relieving the pain. The complaint is bound to com? back; most likely whon it is cold and damp. It's true that a certain amount of relief can be gained by hot applications and rubbing. But that's not a cure. There's something in the blood —lactic acid medical men call it—which causes Rheumatism. Therefore Rheumatism is only cured-when this cause is driven out. That's why rubbing and poultices arc no good—it's in the°blood; they can't touch the caiise. On the other hand Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be expected to cure Rheumatism. They are for the blood, and they make* new blood and tone the whole system enabling it to throw off the Rheumatic Poison. It's a fact j that they've cured a lot. of Rheumatism in Australasia. The following particulars given by a one-time great sufferer illustrate how they cure. "I suffered for years on and off from Rheumatism, and it only got worse as I grew older,',* said Mrs Richard Phillips, Bourke Street, neaiCastle Street, Ivalgoorlie. "I was very fond of gardening, and one evening after kneeling in some wet grass I felt myself getting dreadfully stiff. I was married at the time with three children. I had this attack for a little time, and then it wore off, only to come on a again some months later. I would suffer dreadfully, wlien the attacks were 011. I used to have to cook on a colonial oven, and every time I bent over it I would" feel as if I were falling down. The.rheumatism was chiefly in the hips, and. the back of my knees. 1 would feel as if I Ixad lead at the back of them, they were so heavy. My feet would swell dreadfully, so that in summer I could not dream of putting a boot 011. I could hardly put my feet to the ground, such pains went through me, and when I came up the back steps I would have to drag my feet after me. My left wrist and hand got very stiff. I slept all right at night. I daren't sit in a draft of a cold place, and I felt every change in the weather. I Avas in bed a fortnight once with it. I used to get a feeling as if a cross cut saw had gone through my back. I would be afraid , for anyone to touch me or come near me. I would be in pain from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head. When I started Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I was most careful in following the. directions as to diet, etc. I would keep tke box in the pocket of my wrapper so I shouldn't forget to take a dose at midday, and I used to take two pills at night as well. I took a good many boxes, and by the time they were finished the Rheumatism had disappeared completely,' and my health sinco has been all I could wish."
