It IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither Llniments nor 0intments
Will Reach Rheumatism-H How
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with inflamed and aching
joints, or painful muscles people who
shuttle about with the aid of q cane o., q
crutch and cry, Oh! at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, "What is the hes,
thing for rheumatism z"
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex.
ternal applications is n foolish waste OF
time The seat of the disease is in tina
blood, and while the sufferer is Rubbing
lotions and grease OH the skin tie poison
in the circulation is increasing.
Delnysin adopting a sensible treatment
nrc dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr. Stephcnson's experience with this
obstinate and distressing affection is
that of hundreds. He saya:
about year ago l was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder. The pains wero worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused mo
the greatest suffering. 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 "a surface IN
dication. He adds:
g had heard DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended rs cure
/ for rheumatism, and when found that
was getting 10 relief from applications,
1 made up my mind that l would try
4 them. Before the first box was gone !
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, and that they were not SO
severe as before After the second box
had been uscd up ] was cntire]y free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
! of rheumatism since"
| The change in treatment proved by
4 almost immediate results that MI
/ Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No. liz
I Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found the true means for the purlti
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 il
rheumatism. They do not merely deadel
tho ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by al
druggists.
