Morphine Habit Conquered.
1 YOUNG FARMERS BATTLE
WITH DISEASE LED TO
USE OF THE DRUG.
10 Fought HorOIcally and Finally Found
q Cure for Both the Disease and the
Habit-What He Has to Say About 1t

From the Register, lola, Kansas.
Two years ago last May, Eugene
Lhrig, a young farmer living near lola,
KAN, suffered severe attack Of sci
2 !tica, resulting from a spraln followed
~ exposure in wet weather. Four OF
The best physicians of the town at
ended him at different times, but In
Ipite Of all they could do he grew
Iteadily verse. For nine months ne
suffered as only the victims OF this
nalady can suffer. During three
months of that time he was connned
10 his bed, and for five months could
not walk except on crutches, on &C
count of the excruciating pain In his
lips. Finally his condition became so
BAD that he could not walk at all, and
he physicians could hold out but little
hope Of recovery.
After lying thus for two weeks, he
was induced by friend to begin tax
ng DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, He had no faith in them, but
Everything else had failed, and 80 In
desperation he tried these. In week
he began to suffer less and to regain
his appetite. Within two weeks ne
could get around on crutches, and be-
lore he had taken one box Of the pills
he could walk with only the aid OF q
tame. Within a month he could walk
without any assistance, and six weeks
liter he took the first pill he was do
ing a mans work on the farm. 1t Is
nearly a year now since he began TAX
ing the medicine, and he regards him
self as completely cured, as he has no
recurrence Of his old malady, except
occasionally slight twinges during wet
weather, and these readily yield to a
lew doses Of 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
pf 9. physician, he began taking NOR
phine. The habit soon became fixed,
md at the time he began taking Pink
pills his system had become so per-
meated with the poison that he could
take half q teaspoonful at single
dose. His last doctor had told him
that he could never be cured OF sciatica
10 long az he continued to take the
morphine, and he tried heroically to
break the habit, but without avail.
When he began taking Pink Pills he
Rtill continued the use of the morphine,
taking 1t both internally and by in
lection. But In little while he found
that he no longer wanted 1t, and from
that day to this he has not had the
slightest craving for the drug. He re-
CARDS his deliverance from the NOR
Dhine habit as no less 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: (Slgned.) EUGENE IHR1G.
