WAS CURED RAPIDLY
RHEUMATISM IN TWO SEVERE GASES
MASTERED IN FEW WEEKS.
The Remedy Used by MIR. schroeppeI and
by Captain BaIfour In Great Demand In
vicinity of Their Homes.


In the winter Of l902-3 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by severe at.
tack of rheumatism. His DOCTORS treat.
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse-
quently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu-
siasm.
"After five or six weeks of helpless
ness and pain" said he, " during which
1 was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, felt as bad as ever. Just then
my mother, woman eighty years of
age, paid me visit. She had received
great benefit from DIR. Williams Pink
Pills, and she was confident they would
help me. At her solicitation 1 gave up
the doctors treatment and took the pills
i'll its place"
"And were you cured as the result of
taking her advice?"
eyes, quickly and thoroughly. Be-
fore the second box was finished felt
very manifest improvement, and within
two weeks was able to leave my bed and
take up my neglected farm work. I con-
tinued to use the pills, however, until
eight boxes had been taken, although
long before that felt that every ves-
tige Of the disease had been eradicated.
care there no traces left?"
absolutely none. For q year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return Of the old trouble. For
this happy result and my family freely
praise DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds Of China township,
st. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schroeppel. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted a great deal Of attention.
One Of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing OF the
salutary results in Mr.. Schroeppel's case,
decided to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment."
1t is little wonder that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor in the COM
munity where Mr.. Schroeppel and Cap
tain Balfour are so wen and favorabiy
known. They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful in curing
neuralgia, sciatica and partial paralysis.

feel ten years younger and will tell you.
1t was the neao medicine discovered by the

mild, but thorough. Its effects are lasting.
