ALMOST HELPLESS FROM RHEUMATISM Only Able to Move About on Crutchesâ€" Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Restored Ac»ivity. Inflammatory rheumatism, acute rheumatism and rheumatic fever are different names for practically the same thing. It comes on with hardly any warning. The pain Is excruciat- ing, and there \k a tendency of the disease to attack the heart, when it may have fatal re.^uUa. Any one who has suffered from an attacli of inflammatory rbenmatism knows that the usual treatment Is highly unsatiafactory. External ap- plications of hot cloths and liniments and interu J doses of salicylates to re- lieve the pain are not enough, for they do not drive the poison from the blood, and the sufferer is liable to renewed attaclis ^'henevor exposed to cold i;r dampness. To cure rheumatism so that It will stay cured the rheumatic poison In the blood must be driven out, and the blood made rich and red. When the blood Is pure there can be no rheu- matism. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the b!oo<3, make it rich, red and pure and In this way cure the most obstinate caees of rheumatism. Mr. George HarbotUe, R. R. No. 1, Fever- sham, Ont., is one whose cure rhrcnigh the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Is most striking. Hig mother gives the particulars of his attack and cure as foll6ws:â€" Some years ago while my son was working as a blacksmith in a Michigan lumber camp he wa.? attack- ed with rheumatic fever. He was at once taken to a hospital at Marsenett, and ^-as there under medical treat- ment for four months with but tittle or no relief. He tht-n decided to go to Mount Clemmens, where he took the baths for three weeks, but did uot find any benefit from them. By this time be felt that his case wa.« hope- less and decided to return home. When he reached home he could only move around by thp use of a crutch and a cane. One knee was so stifT that he could not bend It. and most of his joints were swollen out of shape. He could neither dress nor undress himself and_ had to be helped like a child. I urged him to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and finally he consfenied to do io. He had only been taking the pills H few weeks when he could limp about, without the crutch, and his ap- petite greatly impro\-ed. This gave him new courage and as he continued the use of th« pills he showed con- stant improvement, and was able to â- walk about outside. He continu-^d to I use the pills for some four mouths, by i which time every symptom of the ] trouble had disappeared, and he went i to his work in Michigan a cured man. i His case was w eU known to the neigh- I bors around here and his cure was lookt^d upon as marvelous, for every- one thought that at the best he was doomed to be a rheumatic cripple. It is because they liave made such wonderful cures as Mr. Harbottle's that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have a world wide reputation, and are the only medicine used In thousands aud thousands of hou'es. You can get these pills througli any medicine deal- er or by mail at ii) cents a box or six boxes for $3.50 from The Dr. Wil- liam's' Medicine f:o.. Brockville. Out. * M.VDE MIMCIP.VL TKEASLKER.

I Nowadays we must not eat for pleasure, nor must we eat because a mealtime has come round for the sake of eating. We must eat for nouri.sh- raent alone, and to do that we shouM study the needs of the body, and .hoose our fooil accordingly. .\t least a third of the body's food : should be fat. .A man doing sedent- I ary w^ork requires three ounces of fat daily in some form. Ordinarily, , bread contains from I's lo 2 per cent, of fat; in war bread t'ne percentage is much higher. Butter is pracrically a pure fat, but potatoes contain none at ', all. Cocoa i-s the only popular bever- : age which contains fat. ' We are told that there is a famine j in fat in tierinany. which, according to 1 experts, is a more terrible thing than 1 a famine in bread.
