THIN BLOOD AND
RHEUMATISM
Whatever Builds up the
Blood During an Attack
Will Cure the Disease.
This Ohio Woman Tried the
Tonic Treatment After Being
Crippled by Rheumatism
and Was Cured.

There is "A great deal still to be learned
about the cause OF rheumatism but one
fact now stands out promincntly-thc
rapid thinning OF the blood from the
beginning OF the attack. This may be
one OF the causes OF the disease or one
OF its effects but it is known that any
thing which will build up the blood
during an attack OF rheumatism will
cure the trouble Such remedy either
attacks the cause OF the rheumatism or
counteracts its harmful effects and en-
ables the system TO throw il off. DR..
Williams Pink Pills owe their curative
effect to this action.

A Capitalist writer in Scribner's
