It IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither Liniments nor 0intments
Will Reach DEMONSTRATION
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with inflamed and aching
joints, or painful muscles people who
shuttle about with the aid of a cane or q
crutch and FRY, Oh at every slight jar
are constantly asking, What is the best
| thing for rheumatism ~
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex-
ternal applications is foolish waste of
time. The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease OH the skin the poison
i'll the circulation is increasing.
Delays in adopting sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get tho best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson experience with this
obstinate and distressing affection is
that OF hundreds. He says:
About year ago L was attacked by
severe rheumatic rains i'll my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, aud at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. l tried number
of treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the pains.
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only surface i'll
dication. He adds:
4 had heard d.. Wi lliams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as II cure
for rheumatism, ard when L found that
was getting no relief from applications,
| made up my mind that would try
them Before the first box was gone /
noticed that the pains wero becoming
less frequent, and that they were not SO
severe as before. After the second box
had been used mp l. was entirely free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
of rheumatism since"
The change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No. 115
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found the true means for the purifi-
cation and enrichment of his blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures in
rheumatism. They donot merely deaden
the ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by all
druggists
