When you have rheumatism in any of its forms the cause is a poisonous acid in your blood. Enriching and parifying the blood as they do, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have proved successful: in thousands of cases of rheumatism, among them being that of Mr. Frank R. R. Macdonald, residing at 20, Amisfield Street, Kelvinside North, Glasgow, Scotland.

The rheumatism started in my feet," explained Mr. Macdonald, "and I think it was originally due to damp. My feet became steadi- ly worse, and soon the pain and stiffness spread to my hands and then up my arms. I tried all sorts of so-called 'cures, but none of them seemed to do me a bit of good.

"In the mornings, particularly my fingers were so stiff that I could hardly move them at all. My wife mentioned to me about a neighbour who had been very much benefited by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and more to please her than anything else I agreed to try them. Within o week or so I begin to feel benefit. I continued the pills, and the improvement became more marked, the rheuma- tism.gradually growing leas acute. and then gradually leaving, one 'joint after another. My recovery is solely due to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
