"I have been troubled with rheumatism
in all my loints, ever since I went to
the war. It was brought on by my ex
posure there. It camo on me gradu

was unable to do any work. I triod
several physicians, but they did ma no
good. They said my troublo was rheu
matism resulting in disoaBe of the
hoart, and that there was nocuro for it.

the disease for thirty years, and did

ifrf'Dr. Williams' rink Pills for Pale
People. I asked some of my noighbois
about the medicine, for it had boen
ueod by several persons In the com
munity, and they recommended it very
highly. I procured a box. The pills
helped me right away, and I continued
taking them. I commenced taking
them last fall, and finished taking the
sixth box a few montliB ago. I am not
bothered with the rheumatism now
the medicine has oured me. I can most
certainly recommend Dr. Williams'
Pink Pil!s for Palo People."
These pills are not only good for
rheumatism, but ore valuable for any
disease that arises from Impoverished,
or bad blood. They do not aot on the
bowels.
