The Story of Mrs. Robbins' Suffering Rings With the Sincerity Born of Untold Misery

Those of us who think we-are "fit enough to get along" often do not realise how thin the thread is between to-day’s health and the despairing misery of ill-health to-morrow. Health is the only true wealth and reason for living a full life. Mrs. Etheldra Robbins, of 31a Albert Street, Palmerston North, was all but crucified with agony and torment for four and a-half years — until she miraculously discovered the _ secret that put her back on her feet. She

writes as follows bn 11/3/42, generously allowing her pioto to be used, so that others may know of her cure and. so be induced to obtain relief from agonising pain and torment which apparently could not be obtained in the ordinary way. . "I was attacked all of a sudden, four and a-half years ago, with a terrible pain in the back, left thigh and foot; I became lame, and was suffering agony. I went to Dr. (I was at Pahiatua at the time), and he informed me I was suffering from acute sciatica. He gave me an injection into the painful part, and told me to call and see him the next day. I was unable to get out of bed by 8 a.m. next morning, and was very much worse and suffering agony. The doctor had to come to see me, and ordered me to the Pahiatua Hospital. I was much worse, and could not walk. At the hospital I had electrical treatment and was poulticed with anti and. hot water bottles. Nothing gave me relief.

Morphia was injected to make me sleep. When I awoke, I was in the same dreadful agony. ! can never forget what I suffered, groaning with the pain never leaving me night or day. Doctor decided to stretch the nerve of the painful leg. However, when that was done, I could only get along under great difficulty with the aid of a stick. "My leg was very bad indeed, and painful. The doctor told.me I would never be any better; I would always be crippled and never work again or walk upstairs, and that I needed a hot climate, and suggested I should go to Hawke’s Bay. I did, still very ilN\ and lame, using a stick. I could not even step off the footpath ‘on to the roadway. I had to wear rubber shoes. I could not bear any shock, and got a short way in a long time. I then started taking hot salt water baths with no improvement; the lady in charge of the baths (Mrs. Hayward), finally inducing me to go to Mr. Hobson, a well-known chemist of Napier, to get a large packet of R.U.R. "After taking the fifth dose, I was able to bend my knee. When I had finished the first bottle, I only had a limp. When I had finished the second bottle, I had thrown away my stick — there was no. lameness, also I was able to wear my shoes in place of a large slipper on the foot that had been so bad. You would be surprised the work I have done since, not to mention the stairs I have walked up and down. "I will never forget the agony 1 went through before taking R.U.R., and how sensitive I was, thinking I would always be lame ari on a stick. I swear by R.U.R. It was my left leg-right*from the thigh to the foot, that was so bad. You will see by this photograph that there is nothing wrong with me now. I am only too pleased to let you know what R.U.R. did for meand only one large packet at that." This is one of the typical cases where R.U.R. has effected a complete recovery when all else has failed. It is therefore obvious that the average sufferer from practically 19 out of 20 of life’s ailments can put trust in R.U.R. with a definite assurance of benefit far beyond what the average and usual treatments can give. Neuritis-rheumatism-blood pressure-lumbago-constipation-headaches — liver, kidney, bladder and stomach weaknessesmuscular pains-rheumatoid arthritisindigestion, lassitude, skin troubles, dropsical feet, rheumatic heart — these are some of the distressing complaints and conditions for which the R.U.R. Company has genuine and unsolicited testimonials on file from grateful users all over the Dominion. ; Let R.U.R. cleanse your blood and joints, sinews and muscles-let it rid you of pain and ill-health. No matter what you have wrong with you, R.U.R. is bound to do you good. It is effective in so many cases of ill-health because it contains a laxative, liver stimulant, kidney cleanser, acid corrective and a blood purifier. The small 4/2 R.U.R. size makes 26 ounces of active mixture, and the 7/9 size makes 52 ounces, It 1s obtainable from all chemists and stores, so take R.U.R, And Right You Arel
