From the Register lola, Kansas.
Two years ago last May, Eugene
Ihrlg, young farmer living near lola,
Kan, suffered a severe attack OF sci
ntica, resulting from spraln followed
by exposure in wet weather. Four OF
the best physicians OF the town at
tended him at different times, but In
spite OF all they could do he grew
steadily worse. For nine months he
suffered AZ only the victims OF this
malady can suffer. During three
months OF that time he was confined
TO his bed and for Ave months could
not walk except'on crutches, on ac-
count OF the excruclating 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 20 begin taxi
ing 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 week
he began to suffer less and to regain
his appetite Within two weeks he
could get around on crutches, and be-
fore he had taken one box Of the pills
he could walk with only the aid OF O
cane. Within month he could walk
without any assistance, and six weeks
after he took the first pill he was do
ing a maas work on the farm. 1t Is
nearly q year now since he began talk
ing the medicine, and he regards HIM
self as completely cured, as he has no
recurrence OF his old mnlady, except
occasionally slight twinges during wet
weather. and these readily yield to O
few doses Of the pills.
But the pills have done even moro
for him than to cure him Of scia aca.
They have cured him OF the morphine
habit. In order to relieve the fierce
pains Of rheumatism, upon the advice
of q 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 n single
dose. His last doctor had told him
that he could never be cured of sclatlca
30 long as he continued to take the
morphine and he tried herolcally to
break the habit, but without avail
When he began taking Pink Pills he
still continued the use OF the morphine,
taking 1t both internally and by in
lection. But In O 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 re-
CARDS his dellverance from the NOR
phine habit as no less a boon than the
cure Of his sciatlca, 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: (Slgned) EUGENE IIRIG.
