RHEUMATISM STAYS CURED
Mrs. Cota. Confined to Bed and in Constant Pain, Cured by pr.
 Williams Pink Pills.

Rheumatism can be inherited and that fact proves it to be a disease of the blood. IL is necessary. therefore, to treat t through the blood if permanent cure is expected. External applications may give temporary relief from pain but as long as the poisonous acid is in the blood the pain will return, perhaps in new place. but 1t will surely return. Dr Will lams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism be- cause they go directly to the seat of the disorder. purifying and enriehing the blood.
 Mrs. Henry Gotta, of West Cheshire, Conn, is the wife of the village ma ehinist. Several years ago. she says, "I was laid up with rheumatism in my feet, ankles and knees. 1 was in con- stant pain and sometimes the affected parts would swell so badly that I could not get about at all to attend to my household duties. There was one period of three weeks during which was coll fined to the bed. My sufferiugs were awful and the doctor medicine did not help me.
 " One day neighbor told me about l(i " AAAAattAAs I Ai4 taAs ttiHtt AO try them. After 1 had taken them a short time was decidedly better and few more boxes cured me. What is better. the cure was permanent.
 Remember Dr. Williams Pink Pills do no: act on the bowels. They make new blood and restore shattered nerves. They tone up the stomach and restore impaired digestion. bring healthful, refreshing sleep, give strength to the weak and make miserable, complaining people strong, hungry and energetic. They are sold by all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price. 50 cents per box. six boxes s 50, by the Dr. Williams Meai- cine Co. Schenectady, NY.
