INFLAMMATORY
RHEUMATISM
CURED BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK
PILLS AND THE PROOF is
RIGHT HERE.

For years evidence that infamma-
tory rheum atism is durable by Dr. VIII
liams' Pink Pills has been published.
That hundreds of people have trled
the treatment with good results is
shown by the increasing number Oh
cures reported.
Every sufferer from this most pain
ful disease who does not try this treat
ment is neglecting the most hopeful
means Of recovery as is shown by the
statement of MI f. c. Odell, of Nor
rison, Ill.
II suffered with inflammatory rheu-
matisln for eighteen months before l
found cure" he says. Il had always
been more or less troubled with my
kidneys ana stomach. The rheumatic
attack came on few years ago when
was living in New York state. All OF
my muscles We're intlamed and was
swollen from head to foot. l couldn
walk any distance at all without rest
ing. The pains were dull and aching
and once in while were sharp ana
shooting The rheumatism began to
affect my heart, causing fainting spells.
II was under a doctors treatment
for about a. year, but didn't derive any
help from 1t and in fact think l grew
worse. I saw an account Of DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills in q newspaper and
began to use them at once. The relief
was almost immediate and ! took the
pills until cured. / have never had the
rheumatism in any form since. My
wife has been very much benefited by
using the pills as tonic and recon-
mends them as highly as I do"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills were origin
ally prescription used in the doctor
private practice and their benefit to
mankind has been increased many
thousand fold by their being placed on
general sale with the doctors own di-
rections for use. They are entirely safe
and contain no opiates or other habit
forming drugs. They build up the
blood, strengthen the nerves and have
cured rheumatism in almost every
form, anaemia, troubles Of women and
growing girls and many forms OF
weakness.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid
on receipt of price, so cents per box;
