Nothing better demonstrates that rheumatism, is a disea.se of tho blood than the fact that it is hereditary in cer tain families. It may not develop until conditions of cold and dampness favor it because nature is always fighting to keep the body in health. When disease does get the upper hand and rheu matism is seated in the blood, a remedy that will revitalize and renew the blood is the simplest and test means of relief. A remarkable instance of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in this disease is shown by the cure they elfected in the case of Airs. O. K. Taylor, whose ad dress is R. F. D. &o. 6, Columbus, Olrio, -who says : "I suffered severely with inflamma tory rheumatism for tliree years and was helpless iu bed for weeks at a time. The attack followed exposure to damp ness. Every bone iu my body seemed to ache and my joints were swollen to twice their normal size. During the first attack I had to be fed as I could not raise my arms and was 60 perfectly helpless that I couldn't turn over in bed. The least bit. of a jar would hurt me and on damp days the sharp pains were worse and almost unbearable. I was not able to work for mouths, could not Bleep and had no appetite. "I was treated by different doctors at London, Ohio, who pave me only tempor ary relief. Uxm tho advice of a cousin. Who had used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills with benefit, I decided to give them a trial. I soon had an appe tite and could 6ee that the pills were helping me. I toot several boxes and was cured as I have not beeu troubled with the pains since and am a healthy woman in everv way.'' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make rich, new blood and have cured such diseases as rheumatism, nervous and goneral debility, indigestion, ner vous headache, neuralgia, and even par tial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. As a tonic for the blood and nerves they are unequalled.
