IF DISCOURAGED
TRY Or. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The Pills Have Cured the Disease In
Almost Every Form and Even in
Advanced STAGES.

Rheumatism is a painful infamma-
ton of the muscles or of the coverings
of the joints and is sometimes accom-
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part of the body, but after
settling in one joint or muscle for q
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency of the
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for q time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DIR.
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose as their action is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism.
Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South Golf
St., Auburn, Me-, says: 81 had been
sick for fifteen years from impure blood.

headaches stopped and not long after
