UNABLE TO WALK
INSPECTOR JORDAN CRIPPLED WITH
INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM.
A City Official of Lynn, Mass, Tells How
He was Cured by DIR. Williams
Pink Pills.


There is scarcely city or village from
the Atlantic to the Pacific which has
not its quota of rheumatic cripples.
That much of their suffering and in
convenience is unnecessary is proven by
the fact that specific has been found
for rheumatism in all its forms, a rem
edy that has cured extremely stubborn
cases. The statement of a recent cure
should give encouragement to the most
hopeless sufferer
Charles +. Jordan, of No. Z New
Chatham street, Lynn, Mass, inspector
OF sewer construction i'll that city for
many years, was for long time afflicted
with inf1ammatOry rheumatism in his
feet, which made him unable to walk.
" 1t is hardly necessary TO say that my
condition was extremely painful" he
says. 'The rheumatism settled in the
joints and made me helpless so far as
walking was concerned. The skin be-
came very tender and sore and l suffered
agOnies every time had an attack.
My sister-in-law advised me to try
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and 1 took them with the best results.
They also had a beneficial effect upon
my general health. / might add that
my daughter-in- law is taking this rem
edy for paralysis of the face and finds
that the pills are helping her greatly"
Rheumatism has been treated in
widely different ways even in quite re-
cent times and ignorant superstition has
furnished many so-called "charms to
ward off the disease. Most people now
know that to cure rheumatism it must
be treated through the blood and to pre-
vent the disease the blood must be kept
pure. External applications such as oils
and iniments, while they may relieve
and soothe the pain, have no more power
to permanently cure rheumatism than q
horse-chestnut carried in the pocket has
to prevent it.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
have powerful effect in combating the
poisons in the blood which cause rheu-
matism. This is the secret of the
miraculous success of these pills in curing
many severe disorders of the blood and
nerves which do not yield to ordinary
medicines. DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People may be obtained at all drug
gists, or direct from DR.. Williams Med
icine Company, Schenectady, N. Y, fifty
cents per box; six boxes for two dollars
and fifty cents.
