Mrs. J. w. Rapp, of R. F. D. No. l,

years ago / was a sufferer from rheuma-

joints of my fingers became affected.
They were swollen and were so painful
that l could hardly bear it. Gradually
the disease began to affect my limbs in
the same tanner. They became ter
ribly swollen and l had to give up my
work. The pains then spread all over
my body and were sharp and shooting.
They would suddenly shift from ono
