will save not only time, because It

GREAT POWER
When Regular Medical Treatment
Failed, DR.. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her Rheumatism,

Hundreds of people afflicted with rheu-
matism haye spent years under the care
Of excellent physicians in vain. Then
they have settled down to the conviction
that it is fastened OH them for life. Mrs.
Dinsmore was not willing to join the
ranks of the hopeless merely because her
doctor did not know how to help her.
Here is her story: N
-Four years ago I suffered greatly
with rheumatism in my hands and
knees. After I had been sitting while
my limbs seemed so heavy could hardly
walk OH the first attempt. So long as
kept moving was all right, but just as
soon as 1 stopped, something seemed to
settle in my knees and make them ache.
My hands were SO bad l couldn't touch
the palms of them OH a fiat surface; they
were swollen and panied so"
"Did You call i'll a physician?"
AZ doctored steadily for over a year
then one doctor said: you have taken
medicine strong enough to kill almost
anything Still, it did not kill me nor
the rheumatism.
How, then. did you get rid Of it?"
cat different times 1 had read in varl-
OILS puDlcatiOuS dDOuJ Dr. WllllamS
wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People,
and finally decided to try them. took
them steadily for four months in ac-
cordance with the directions. By that
time was completely cured"
"Have you been free from it ever
since?"
"Since then have had but one slight
return of my trouble, and box or two of
the same pills made me all right again.
Mrs. F. A. Dinsmore lives in hearty
enjoyment of her recovered health at
Woburn, Mass, entirely freed from the
grave anxieties, that rheumatism always
brings. When it appears i'll but single
joint it shows that the blood is in faulty
state in the whole body. 1t may at any
moment break out elsewhere, and one Of
the dangers is that it may break out in
the heart and then the result must be
fatal. The only security is to keep the
blood all the time III u perfectly sound
condition.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills make healthy
blood. All other relief is superficial.
This is thorough. These pills are sole
