REMEDIES FOR
RHEUMATISM
Are Many but the Important Thing
Is to Enrich the Blood and
Cleanse the System Of
Rheumatic Poison.

There are many remedies for rheu.
matism. Most of them are considered
successful If they relieve the pain and
stiffness. That means a TEN oorary
suppression of the symptoms while the
disease remains in the blood to appear
again on the next rainy day.
Mrs. ]. w. Rapp, of r. f. D. No. 1,
South Omaha, Neb., says: ''Several
years ago was q sufferer from rheuma.
tism which followed a general rundown
condition and exposure to wet and
dampness. The pains started in nv
hands, which had sort of pricking SEN
sation like needles We're being thrustin-
to them. As the disease grew worse the
joints of my fingers became affected.
They were swollen and were SO painful
that I could hardly bear it. Gradually
the disease began to affect my limbs in
the same manner. They became ter
ribly swollen and I had to give up nv
work. The pains then spread ali over
my body and were sharp and shooting.
They would suddenly shift from one
part of the body to another but fortu-
nately did not seem to affect my heart.

to give them a trial. A wonderful
change came over me as soon as I
commenced using the pills. They abso-
lutely cured me from the terrible rheu-
matte pains and have never had them
since. / have recommended DR.. Will

The "change of life " is a most
critical period in woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation Of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
It has carried many women safely
through this crisis.
