SIX YEARS OF RHEUMATISM. A Carpenter's Long Period of Suffering--" Absolute Torture most of the Time," he says —How he was Cured. Six years is a long time to suffer with Rheumatism. Yet that was the experience of a Glen Innes carpenter, Mr Charles Slee, of Church-street. There were periods when the complaint was not so bad, but a damp change in the weather always brought it on again. This represents six years of strenuous endeavour to rid himself of the complaint. Six years of rubbing and hot applications without any permanent benefit. In the end Mr Slee cured himself with a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills have cured [Rheumatism because they increase the blood made thin by Rheumatism and tone the system, enabling it to expel the rheumatic poison through the ordinary channels of the body. Speaking to a reporter, Mr Slee said: — "I suffered absolute tortures with 1 Rheumatism. The pain started in: my right hip and by degrees got: more settled and acute and spread in time to my right arm and shoulder.; Only the right side was affected. X>; was hardly able to drive a nail or . hold a hammer. As to the hip itself ■ the pain would come in the muscles, at the top of the shoulder and I; could hardly lift a board. I might be fairlv free for perhaps a fortnight and then I would get it again with the least change in the weather. Often there were times when Mrs Slee would have to put my coat on. I dreaded the slightest touch to the right side. I nsed all kinds of liniments at intervals but not a scrap of good did I get. I woke in the morning so stiff and crippled and it was not until I got warmed up at work that a trifle of ease came. I could not walk smartly owing to the affected hip, and I would drag the right leg considerably. Altogether my life was made quite wretched. I went on suffering for nearly six years. Fortunately a course of Dr Williams' Pink Pills drove the poison out of my system, and I am able to thus speak most highly of them. I took six pills each day and after a while I could distinctly feel the pain slowly getting less severe. I continued the treatment until tRe pain and' stiffness ceased. I am glad to say I ness ceased. I am glad.J;o say I have been free ever since. Dr Williams' Pink Pills are 3s per box, six Boxes 16s 6d, of all dealers or from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington.
