PROVES GREAT POWER
When Regular Medical Treatment
Failed. Or. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her Rheumatism.

Hundreds Of people afflicted with rhcu-
mafisIn have sp.nt years under the care
of excellent physicians in vain. Then
they have settled down to the conviction
that il is fastened ON them for life. Mrs.
Dinslnore was no. willing 20 join tho
ranks Of the hopeless merely because her
doctor did not know how to help her
Here is her story:
Four years ago suffered greatly
with rheumatism ia nay hands and
knees. After had been sitting n while
my limbs seemed SO heavy could hardly
walk on the first attempt. SO long as
kept moving l was all right. but just as
SOON as l stopped. something seemed to
settle ia my kuees and make them ache.
Ny hands were ~ bad I couldn't touch
the palms Of them ON a flat surface; they
were swollen aud panied 80"
"Did You call in n physicianY'
81 doctoresi steadily for over a year I:
then one doctor said: You have taken
medicine strong enough to kill almost
anything S,hl. it did not kill mo nor
the rheumatism"
"How. then. did you get rid of it7'.
"At different times had read IN yarl-
ous publications about DR.. Williams
wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People.
and finally decided to try them. to *
them steadily for four mouths in ne
oor,lance with the directions. By that
time was completely cured"
Have you been free from il ever

Since then have had but one slight
return Of my trouble, aud a box or two of
the same pills made me all right again. !"
Mrs. +. \. Dinsmore lives in hearty
enjoyment of her recovered health at
Woburn. Mass. entirely freed from the
grave anNieties that rheumatism always
brings. When ii appears in but a single
joint it shows thai the blood is IN a faulty
state in the whole body. 1t may at any
moment break out elsewhere. aud ono of
the dangers is that it may break ont il
the heart and then the result must bS
fatal. The only security is to keep ths
