HIS WIFE WAS A FEARFUL SUFFERER FROM RHEUMATISM. What grandeur bosom 1 Donald, B. C petite those year she experienced excruciating tortures, the pain never ceasing day or night. She had the benefit of skilled medical advice but the treatment affordâ€" ed no relief, and we began to fear that her trouble had gone beyond human aid. On a number of occasions I had read in the papers of cases of rheumntism‘ being cured by the use of Dr. Williams‘ f Pink Pills, and this at last determincd us to give them a trial, She bad used . some three boxes before any improveâ€". ment was noticed: and then we began to note that she siept better and that,‘ her appetite was improved. Then the . pains gradually began to subside, and after using about a dozen boxes she was ‘ able to get up and walk about. She continued the use of the pills for a while longer, and although occasionally. she feels twinges of the trouble in changeâ€" able weather, she now enjoys bettem health than she bas done for years, and sleep as soundly as eyer she did in her life, while herappetite never was better. I look upon Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills as a wonderful medicine, for I know they have done wonders in my wife‘s case and Ifeel certain that if any who are afflicted as she was will give them a good trial, equally happy results will follow, and I therefore give his testiâ€" mony freely, boping that it will benefit ‘ some other sufferer." A LIGHT KEEPER‘S STORY. Mr. McLaren‘s strong testimony proves the claim made that Dr. Wilâ€" liams‘ Pink Pills care when other mediâ€" cines fail, and that they deserve to rank as the greatest discovery of modern medical science. _ The public should always be on their guard against imitaâ€" tions and substitutes, which some unâ€" scrupulou« dealers for the sake of extra profit, urge upon purchasers.
