RHEUMATISM 4 MYSTERY

Some diseases give immunity from an.
other attack but rheumatism works just
the other way.
Every attack of rheumatism invites
another. Worse than that it reduces the
body's power SO that each attack is worse
than the one before.
If any disease needs curing early it is
rheumatism but there is almost no dis
ease which physicians find more difficult
to treat successfully. When a medicine
does help rheumatism nobody knows
how or why it does it.
All authorities agree that the blood be-
comes thin with alarming rapidlty as
rheumatism develops. Maintaining the
quality of the blood therefore is reason
able way of preventing and combating
rheumatism. That it works out in fact
is shown by the beneficial results in the
treatment of rheumatism, acute, muscu-
lar and articular, with the blood tonic,
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
That hundreds who take DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for their rheumatism get wei
is fact beyond dispute. That the rheu-
matism does not return as long as the
blood is kept rich and red is equally true.
Write the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.. +,
Schenectady, N. Y, for the free pamph-
let Building Up the Blood" and kindly
mention this paper. Your own druggist
sells DR.. Williams PinE Pills.
