Helpless from rheumatism.

I was terribly afflicted with Rheuma-
tism for eighteen months, and during my
sickness tried the skill of many good
physicians, all of whom pronounced my
case hopeless. I was for q year in such q
helpless condition that was unable to
dress or feed myself. I had filed at diff
ferent times, hfty-two prescriptions sug-
gested by friends, none of theul giving
me any relief. finally decided to include
s. 8. 8. in my list and took the first dose
when hobbling about on crutches. After
taking two bottles found 50 much relief
I was able to relinquish the use of one
crutch, and faithful continuance of the
medicine relieved me of the other crutch
and shortly afterward enabled me to 60 to
my work, at which, have been ever since.
This was five years ago, and I have had
no return Of the symptoms of rheumatism.

truthfuily say felt better almost from the first

the swelling subsidized, and before could hard

left me, and have never been troubled with
