MORPHINE HABIT CONQUERED.
A YOUNG FARMERS BATTLE WITH
DISEASE LED TO THE USE OF
THIS DRUG.
He Fought HerOically and Finally Found
Cure for Both the Disease and
the Habit. What He Has
to Saw About 1t

/
to Say About It,
Two years ago last May, Eugene
Ihrig, young farmer living near lola,
Kansas, suffered severe attack OF
sciatica, resulting from a sprain fol-
lowed by exposure ih wet weather.
Four of the best physicians of the
town attended him at different times,
but in spite of all they could do he
grew steadily worse. For nine months
he suffered as only the victims of this
malady can suffer. During three
months of that time he was confined
his bed, and for five months he could
not walk except on crutches, on ac-
count of the excruciating pain in his
hips. Finally his condition became
so bad that he could not walk at all
and the physicians could hold out but
little hope of recovery.
After lying thus for two weeks he
was induced by friend to begin
taking DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. He had no faith in them
but everything else had failed and 30
in desperation he tried these. In a
week he began to suffer less and re-
gain his appetite. Within two weeks
he could get around on crutches and
before he had taken one box of the
pills he could walk with the aid of q
cane. Within q month he could walk
without any assistance, and six weeks
after he took the first pill he was
doing mans work on the farm. 1t
is nearly a year now since he began
taking the medicine and he regards
himself completely cured as he has no
recurrence of his old malady, except
occasional slight twinges during wet
weather, and these readily yield to q
few doses ef the pills.
But the pills have done even more
for him than to cure him of sciatica.
They have cured him of the morphine
habit. In order to relieve the fierce
pains of rheumatism, upon the advice
of a physician, he began taking NOR
phine. The habit soon became fixed,
and at the time he began taking Pink
Pills his system had become so per.
meated with the poison that he could
take half a teaspoonful at single
dose. His last doctor had told him
that he could never be cured of sciat-
lea so long as he continued to take the
morphine, and he tried heroically to
break the habit, but without avail.
When he began taking Pink Pills he
still continued the use of the NOR
phine, taking it both internally and
by injection. But in little while he
found that he no longer wanted it, and
from that day to this he has not had
the slightest craving for the drug. He
regards his delive rance from the NOR
phine.. habit as no less a boon than
the cure of his sciatica, and he gives
all the credit for both to Pink Pills.
To confirm the above beyond all doubt
Mr.. Ihrig made the following state
ment:
81, Eugene Ihrig, being of lawful
age, do solemnly swear that 1 have
read the foregoing article and that all
the statements therein made regard
ing my illness and its cure are true.
1 feel sure that 1 owe my present
health and strength, if not my life, to
Pink Pills.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are not a patent medicine in
the sense that name implies. They
were first compounded as 3 prescrip-
tion and used as such in general prac-
tice by an eminent physician. So
great was their efficacy that it was
deemed wise to place them within the
reach of all. They are now manu-
factured by DIR. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y, and
are sold in boxes (never in loose form
by the dozen or hundred, and the
public are cautioned against numer-
GUS limitations sold in this SHAPED at
so cents q box, or six boxes for 81.
and may be had of all druggists or
