HOW TO CURE
RHEUMATISM
A California Woman Tells Of the
Remedy That Helped Her
From the Start.

The latest scientific works state that
the ordinary medical treatments Of
rheumatism are still far from satisfao
tory. For this reason sufferers from
rheumatism will be interested in the
success which DIR. Williams Pink Pills
have had in curing this painful disease
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have cured
hundreds of cases, and are the most
direct treatment of rheumatism, be-
cause they drive its poisons out Of the
blood. That rheumatism is q disease
of the blood is shown by the fact that it
Is hereditary in certain families, and
that there is a marked thinning of the
blood Immediately following its attack.
Mrs. ID. II. Coates, of Campbell, Cal. 4,
gives Dr. Williams Pink Pills the high
est recommendation. She says:
"For several years was bothered
with rheumatism and could find no re-
lief. The pains were in my ankles,
limbs, neck, and shoulders. My ankles
and limbs would become swollen and
oftentimes my shoulders were so lame
that could not raise my arms up TO my
head. When stood ON my feet there
were terrible sharp pains through them.
II finally began taking DIR. Williams
Pink Pills which / read of in a paper.
They gave me quick relief and cured me.
/ still use the pills. as q tonic, whenever
my work nc the post Office causes me TO
become run down or feel all tired out,
and they give relief everytime. con.
slider the pills unequaled for the nerves
as they cured my daughter of st. Vitus'
dance from which she had suffered for
six years"
IL you have failed to find more than
temporary relief from your suffering

builder and you are, therefore, not treat.
ing the cause of your trouble. You
should not neglect TO try DIR. Williams
Pink Pills but begin course of treat
ment with them nc once. A valuable
booklet, Diseases OF the Blood" con-

tism and other diseases of the blood,
