SOME KNOWN FACTS
ABOUT RHEUMATISM

There are many things that are still
unknown about rheumatism. The
treatment of it is still far from salts
factory. Doctors realize this, but no.
body is more fully aware of it than the
sufferers themselves.
A tendency to rheumatism once es-
tablished, the pain often returns with
every change of weather, showing that
the poison is still in the blood awaiting
favorab able conditions to become active
and cause trouble.
One fact is known and acknowl-
edged by all medical writer's and that
is the rapid thinning of the blood
when the rheumatic poison invades
it. Building up the blood is the best
remedy for rheumatism, as the en-
riched blood is able to overcome or
throw off the poisons of the disease.
For this reason rheumatic sufferers
should be interested in the success
which DR.. Williams Pink Pills have
had in the treatment of this painful
disease.
