A MAINE GIRL.
Deformed by innamnatory Rheumatism
Now Well Woman.


From, The Globe, Boston, Mass.
The town OF Albion, down in Kennebeck
County, Maine. is one OF those smart little
hsmlets which so often dot the landscape q
the Pine Tree State II noted for ANYTHING
more than another in particular, II is the
thousands Of cords OF pulp wood which 1t
annually furnishes to feed the yRwning Jaws
Of the immense pulp mills which line the
shore OF the kennebec, its fine dairy farms
and the sturdy farm wives who make pleas
ant the snug and thrifty homes within her
borders.
Nestled down among the pine trees in the
southern part Of the town il the quiet farm
home OF Mr.. Ieonidas White. Mr. Whites
home is presided over by his daughter Mis-
Carrie B. White, who does the work for the
whole family, and this without help. 1t il
hard to realize that the Young lady, now 40
full OF life and energJ, WAS but short time
ago great sufferer from inhammatOry rhPu-
matism. But here is the story in her own
words:
In the fall OF 1894, think 1t was Labor
I Day, was taken with the most severe pain
In one Of my toes. II continued TO grow
worse and finally extended up my leg nearly
to the knee joint. | suffered the most ex-
cruciating pains. aud made up my mind
that must die. | was them in Cambridge
port, Mass, on a visit to my brother who
lives there. grew 50 sick that physician
was called in who pronounced it rheumatic
fever. was not out Of the house for five
weeks. During this time had to be moved
with the utmost care from the bed to a chair.
Tor the slightest pressure on my limbs gave
me the most terrible pains.
THE medicine the doctors gave me seemed
to do me no good. | had the best OF nursing
and my friends did everything to make me
comfortable. and have no doubt the physi-
clans did the best they could for me- But
the rheumatism still remained. Finally my
brother brought home box Of DR.. Williams
( Pink Pills. | had never taken any, but nv
brother said he knew Of many cases they
had cured, and as he seemed to desire it I
began to take them. / had not taken but a
few doses before l began to improve, so
much so that my friends marveled at my
rapid improvement.
Before | had taken the whole box the in
fiammation had subsidized and | could walk
around the room and use my hands without
any effort. This was the greatest relief 10
me, for my fingers were drawn up so | could
scarcely hold anything in my han Is and II
was with the greatest difficulty | could
straishten my arms out. | did not take but
one box, rs there seemed to be no need of it,
continued TO improve, and when consid-
cred myself cured | returned here to nv
home in Albion. Since that time have been
what suppose might be called a well wo-
man. | do the entire housework incident to
country home, and am out in all kinds of
weather. | have not been troubled with
rheumatism at all since | used the Pink Pills
| regard them as the best medicine for that
disease ever discovered. InfiammatOry rheu-
matism has no terrors for me now, for feel
sure that if | should suffer another attack
the Pink Pills would cure me.
81 suppose have told a great many peo-
pie what cured me OF intlammatOry rheuma-
tism for have the profoundest sympathy
for anyone who suffers us did during those
five terrible weeks. regard these Pink Pills
as invaluable and would not think OF being
without them. | am more than glad to give
mytestimony as to the wonderful curative
powers of this medicine"
