Most Treatments
for Rheumatism
Are Experimental

Physicians are not of one mind
on the subject but the highest
authorities hold that rheumatism
is a disease Of the blood. All
admit that in attacks of rheuma-
tism there is marked and rapid
thinning of the blood. This is a
condition that a treatment with
DR.. Williams Pink Pills at once
arrests and corrects. The thin
blood is enriched, the strength
ened organs of the body throw
off the poisonous impurities and
the patient gets well.
With the fact in mind that the
rheumatism is in the blood. il
will readily be seen how useless il
is to try TO cure it by rubbing
liniments on the skin. External
applications may give temporary
relief from pain but TO cure rheu-
matism you must treat it through
the blood. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have cured hundreds Of cases
of rheumatism and no sufferer
should allow any prejudice TO
stand in the way of giving these
pills thorough trial.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold BY
all druggists, or will be mailed. post
paid, on receipt of price. soc per box /:
