that we must be prepared to eXpend
an equal amount in order to secure

RHEUMATISM HAS
DISAPPEARED AND
She WALKS AGAIN
Brunswick Woman Was Tortured Day
and Night Until She Built Up
Her Blood

Those who have rheumatism or are
subject to rheumatic attacks need to
take special precautions now before
spring 1t is Of first importance that
they should build up the blood SO that
it is rich and red.
Little can be gained by treating the
symptoms of rheumatism, the relief is
only temporary and unless the blood
is plentiful and healthy, attacks will
increase in severity and frequency.
The effectiveness of treating the
blood with the right tonic is illustrat-
ed in the case of Mrs. Bell NJ. Allen,
of No. 16 Mcclellan street, Brunswick
Me.
II had been troubled with rheuma-
tism. off and on, for fifteen years.
says Mrs. Allen, but last spring
badly that I was obliged to go to bed.
There were sharp and shooting pains
in my limbs and sometimes they were
so intense that l couldn't lie in one
position more than minute at a
time.
"Dr. Williams Pink Pills had been
used in my family for many years
and we're highly regarded as a blood
builder. 1 finally decided to give
them trial and after three boxes
was able to walk about the house.
can now take long walks and the
pains have completely left my limbs
and shoulders.
Il have given DIR. Williams Pink
Pills to all my daughters to build up
their blood and wouldn't be without
them in the house."
When the blood lacks red corpus
cles a course Of treatment with DIR.
Williams Pink Pills will cause them
to increase. This can be demonstrate
ed by microscopic examination or
anyone can prove it by looking in a
mirror, for an increase in red blood
shows quickly in the checks and es-
pecially in the lining membranes Of
the eyelids.
