RHEUMATISM
is DURABLE
Nature Has Provided a Way of
Driving the Poison from
the Blood Which Is
the Only Cure.

Tn attacks OF acute rheumatism there
Is a rapid thinning of the blood, the
number OF red corpuscles are reduced.
These red corpuscles carry oxygen wl,ich
Is the weapon with which nature fights
poisons in the blood.
Without proper treatment the rheu-
matte poisons in the blood increase and
the body's means OF defence is weak
ened. A remedy that will increase the
number OF red corpuscles under these
conditions will cure rheumatism.
The direct action Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People is to increase
the red corpuscles the blood, max
ing it rich and red. Any doctor can
prove this IL is merely a matter of
microscopic count. And any sufferer
can tell that as the blood BECOMES richer
the rheumatic pains disappear Mr..
Richard Kelly, night Waterman, of
No l24 Auburn Place, Rockford, ILL.,,
says:
~ suffered from rheumatism for a
number Of years and was so bad off at
times that / had to take to bed The
trouble followed an attack OF typhoid
fever, when was young man, which
left me in bad shape. The rheumatism
settled in my right shoulder and arm.
l also had a lame back. | suffered a
great deal and often when ploughing in
the field would have to stop and lie
down as the pains were so intense and
came on so suddenly also had very
bad cough for years and my friends said
il was consumption.
II took the Doctors medicine for a
while, but as it wasn't helping me |
gave il up. | read about DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and gave
them trial. After taking few boxes
