Diet for Itotierino Rheumatism. Unquestionably the most active cause of rheumatism, as wen as of migraine, sick headache, Bright's disease, oeuras- thenia, and a nun.ber of otber kindred diseases, Is the general use of flesh food, tea and coffee and alcoholic liquors. As regares remedies, there are no medicinal agents which are ofany permanent value in ,.be treatment of chronic rbeumatiiim. The disease can be remedied only by regimen—that is, by diet and training. A simple dietary, consisting of fruits, grains and nuts, and particularly the free use of fruits. inust be placed in the first rank among the radical curative meas- ures. Water, if taken in abundance, is also a nieane of washing out the accumu- lated poleons. An iadividual afflicted with rheuma- tism In any form should live, so far as possiale, an out-ofdoor life, taking daily a sufficient amount of exercise to induce vigorous perspiration. A cool morning sponge, followed by vigorous rubbing, and a moist peek to the joints most seri- ously affeeted, at night, are measures which are worthy of a faithful trial. Every person who is suffering from this disease should give the matter immediate attention, as it is a malady which is pro- gressive, and is one of the most potent causes of premature old ago and general physical deterioration.

Annie Roberte 50it. repro- entative of the Montreal Herald, refer- ing to leer remericabie reeovery from an illness of over seven long years. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts reside at 84 Wolfe street, Montreal, and the wiporter was cordially welcomed when he went to enquire as to the truth of the report that Mrs. Roberto had been restored to Itealth thrOtIgh the use of Dr. tt illiams' Pink Pills. Mr, and lira. Roberts tame to Canada a little more than live years ago, and Mrs. Roberts' Ill- ness began while still in the Old Country, "I was really the victim of a combination of troubles," saye Mrs. Roberts. "For seven years neuralgia, with allies encru- ciatIng pains, has been my almost con. Mane attendant Added to this 1 was at- taeked with rheumatism and palpitatiozi of the beart, and for the last five ywtre was not able to get out of doors during the winter menthe. Sometimes I felt am though those teirible pains in ray head would drive me mad; my nerves were all unstrung and a Smock ut the door would send me almost crazy. Ivens treated all different times by four doctors since conn- ing to Montreal, but without any lasting good, and I had given up hope of ever be- ing better on this side of the grave. A. friend of mine whose father had been help- less for two years, but was restored by Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, urged rne to try them. My husband asked the doctor owlet was attending me what he thought of them, and the doctor replied that be believed them to be a good medicine. This persuaded me to begin their use. No one who sees me now can form any idea of my condition when I began taking Dr. Wil- liam's Pink Pills, and I had only taken three boxeswhen 1 Wigan to recover. But , seven years of pain had nearly shattered my constitution and 1 did not look for. speedy recovery, and I was more than gratified to find ihat after I had used think) about a dozen and a half boxes I was fully restored to bealte. It seemed all the more wonderful because the doc- tors both in England and here never ffid more than give me temporary relief, and their treatment was much more expen- sive. The past summer was the itirst ixt years that I really enjoyed life, and I was able to go on a visit to Radnor Forges. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have also been of much benefit to my daughter Violet. She is just nine years old, but she suffered a great deal from pains in the back and sick headache, but the pills have made her feel all right again." "I never fail to recommend Dr. "MI- liam's Pink Pills when any of nay friends - are ill," said Mrs. Roberts.
