FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
Tho Pills Have Cured tho Disease Ia
Almost Every Form and Even In
Advanced Staoea.

rheumatism is painful inhamma-
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 contine 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 a time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. Dr..
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.
