INFLAMMATORY
RHEUMATISM
Cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and the Proof Is
Right Here.

Nothing better demonstrates that
rheumatism is disease Of the blood
than the fact that it is hereditary in GER
tain families. It may not develop until
conditions Of cold and dampness favor
it because nature is always fighting to
keep the body in health. When disease
does get the upper hand and rheu-
matism is seated in the blood, remedy
that will revitalize and renew the blood
is the simplest and best means of relief.
A remarkable instance of the value Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in this disease
is shown by the cure they effected in
the case of Mrs. o. L. Taylor, whose ad.
dress is II. Il. d. No. 6, Columbus, Ohio,
who says:
II suffered severely with inflamma-
tory rheumatism for three years and
was helpless in bed for weeks at q time.

to ache and my joints were swollen to

DIR. Williams Pink Pills actually
make rich, new blood and have cured
such diseases as rheumatism, nervous
