The only jjay I could ease the. tenible pain waa to place two pillows against the knees to Keep thorn from rubbing together. . 'J was propped up !n bed with pillows on both sides of my back because of the extreme tenderness of my spine.

I could not stand even the pressure i,

of the bed clothes on my back. "My feet -were quite u?eles?, swollen terribly, and every time I attempted to move the pain -would mako me sick. I also had sciatic rheumatism, the pain would start at my hips arol run down my legs to my toes. It was as though a red hot iron was hearing the flesh. It is impossible to dos;'tire what I have gone throuch and only one who suffers from chronic rheumatism can understand. "Treatment of various kinds failorl to relieve me and I was completely discouraged, when T heard of Var-ne-sls. Friends persuaded me to tr the medicine, as it was helping so many others. After taking Var-ne-sis 1 was able to go about on crutches r.nd ci ad ually recovered so that I discarded my cane. Durinc my illness I fell away to ninety pounds. Yar-no-sis not only cured my rheumatism, hut helped my stomach from the first and graduallv I

regained my former weight. I am well i?" r!"1
