CRIPPLED AID TORTURED.

Rheumatism made this Woman as Helpless as a Baby*

Carried about from Room tc Room by her Husband,

As a public Duty she tells how she was cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Mr. and Mrs J. H. Dixon, of 136 Pilgrim Street, Footscray, Melbourne, think it their duty to make public the facts concerning Mrs Dixon's remarkable cure from rheumatism by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs Dixon was suddenly overcome by Rheumatism and for' months was crippled and as helpless as a baby. Her husband had •to carry her from one room to another when she was able to get out of bed, and neighbours had to do her hair. Mrs Dixon graphically told a reporter of her illness and cure. She said: — "I had influenza, and after that

rheumatism set in, ana quite suudenly, too,"' said Mrs Dixon. "I went to bed all right, and in the morning I woke up quite unable to move. The rheumatism was down all one side. For a fortnight I had to stay in bed. I had to get in help to do the housework and look after the children. I was quite helpless, and the agony was dreadful. Later, it set in in both hands, feet and arms. When the first acute attack eased a trifle I was just able to totter round the hoiise holding on to the furniture or helped with a , stick. My mother would call and fairly cry to see me so crippled, and I would'cry myself, I was in such agony. My husband would carry me f™m' Wlrnnm to sittinffroom. I had

no sleep night or day. I lay between blankets, of course, but I dare not move. I would just lie like a log and pray for the daylight. I was always feverish and very thirsty. The skin, especially about the joints, was red and sliiny, and tight looking, and burning to the touch. I used to lie at night with pillows under my knees. I could not straighten them, and sometimes pillows at the feet toHake off the pressure of the bed clothes. I 1 had the joints rubbed with every liniment you could hear of, turps, eucalyptus, etc., and had all sort of poultices and hot vinegar with bran, all to no good.- I fell away to a perfect skeleton. I simply could not eat, I was always in such torture. I could not stand anyone coming near me for fear they would happen to touch me; I would scream out, "Don't come near me." You could dent the swollen places and quite an impression would be left. I could not dream of raising my arms up. Neighbours woiild have to come in to do my hair or give me a hand. My fingers were so stiffened and dreadfully swollen that I could not hold a needle or even a book to '■■ read with any comfort; I could hardly cut or' handle the little food I took. To sit down on a chair was quite an

effort; it was slowly done, and when. I go up I would have to use my hands as best I could to help raise me, and then someone would come and lift ifae by the arm. It was as if I were glued to the chair. My husband would,put; rugs down in.'the garden so/that ; I might. lie jand get some air and sunshine, but" I could not. raise myse]f, I always had to be lifted. For months I did not leave the house,.for walking was beyond me. It broke my heart to see from the window people walking easily. I was doubled up; I could not stand erect. Not one day in all these months was I free from pain. I looked forward to being permanently crippled. After everything else failed, I rea'd about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and tried them. By slow degrees the pain and stiffness wore away. I was overjoyed with the result gained from the third box. Every day I began to feel a little easier, and to' move my limbs more and more i Presently I was able to discard 'support and to do a few jobs about the house, and it ■was a great day when I was able to open my piano again and notice the stiffnes3*and swelling gone out of my Angers. The eighth box saw every symptom gone. I had begun to eat and fill out now the pain had ceased. My husband and I think it our duty to give this testimonial to help other - ; sufferers:''' -.'
