Beware. of imitations and substitutes al- legcd_ to be. "just a_.s gqod.f'_ There is a. remedy for rheumatism despite the general belief that it cannot be curedâ€"a remedy that has cured thousands of the most severe cases. A noted instances of the truth of this as- sertion which has just come to the knowledge of the editor of the Courier, is the case of Robert Francis, Esq., formerly of Trenton, now retired from business in Rat Portage. Ont., and still residing there. He has been a victim of rheumatism for over three years. Last winter he visited his friends in Irenton and was the.) contemplating a visitto the south in search of relief from his con- stant foe. He had to useastaff in walk- ing and went at a slow pace. This Christ- mas he was here again on a visit to his friends. smart and erect without the stick or the sorrowful look ofa year ago. His friends and acquaintances allaccost him as a mw man and congratulate him on his healthy, fresh and active appear- ance in contrast with a year ago. He ‘has cheerfully and gratefully given the following statement of his efforts after acure. "My home is at Rat Portage, Ont.. where for yearsI was engagedin business and where I still resxde. For three years 1 have (been agreat suf- ferer from rheumatism. I tried several highly recommended remedies to no purpose, as I continued to grow worse till it was difficult for me to walk. I was for thirteen weeks enn- l'ined to my bed at home and in the Winnipeg hospital. I was then induced to try the Mount Clement Springs. I took six courses of baths, or. twenty-one baths enrh without any seemingly beneficial result. 1 read of several cures in the Courier from Dr. \Villiams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and friends who used them with benefit to themselves urged me to try them: I did so and after a short time I felt an improvement in my condition. I have taken twelve boxes in all and my improvement has been continuous and satisfactory, so that I need the cane no‘ longer andl have in- creased my weight from 140 pounds to 175 by the use of Pink Pills; I am not entirely free from rheumatism butI am a new man, one thousand per cent. bet... ler than I was a. year ago and I at- tribute my health entirely to Dr. \Vil- liams' Pink Pills." What an innocent sounding name has rheumatism. and yet how terrible a reality to the thousands who suffer with it. Doctors agree that rheuma» tlsm results from poxson of and deposits in the blood, but as to just how they can be reached and eradicated. it would seem that their knowledge fails. The usual treatment is a long series of medicines which may give temporary relief, but do not cure. and then the patient usually gives up, thinking that there is no medicine that will cure him. This is a. mistake. Rheumatism is not a necessary evil, and because one is growing old it is not imperative that one should accept rheumatism as a nap tu'r‘al accessory to advancing years._ There In One Medicine Thu Ila: Cured Thousands Afler (”her Medicines Ind Failedâ€"A Released Sunni-er Adds an Strong Endonnuon of This Wonderful Remedy.
