SC|AT|C TORTURE
PAIN SUFFERED BY MIR. MARST0N
AS GREAT AS MORTAL CAN STAND.
For Six Months He Could, Not Turn In
Bed-He Tells OF q Remedy Which
Hos Given Perfect Relief


The case Of Mr.. Marston shows that
sciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted
by it should allow himself to be dis
heartened. He was first stricken about q
year ago, and for six months he suffered
pain which he thinks the most intense
chat any man could possibly stand.
Asked about the details Of his remark
able recovery, Mr.. Marston gave the fol.
lowing account: az was attacked by q
numbness or dull feeling just back Of my
right hip. didn t know what the mat
ter was, but thought it was simply a
stiffness that would wear away in q
short >time. It didn't, however, and
soon the pain became SO very bad that
every step was torture for me. When
finally succeeded in getting home, 1t was
lust as much as I could do to reach my
room and get to bed.
1.-THE doctor was sent for, and when he
had examined me he said ] had sciatica.
He prescribed for me, and advised me not
to try to leave my bed. The advice was
unnecessary for ! couldn't get out OF
bed if I wanted to. It was impossible for
me to turn from one side to the other.
The moment I attempted to move any
part of my body, the pain became so ex-
cruciating that I would have to lie per-
fectly motionless.
at suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then ! dis
charged the doctor, and on the advice Of
a friend bought box Of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them, three
at q dose, three times q day. Twas de-
termined to give them thorough trial.
1.-TWO months after I began to use
them was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and month later
I was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. ! think DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are the best medicine ever
used, and I heartily recommend them to
anyone who suffers from sciatica."
Mr.. Marston is prosperous farmer
and may be reached by mail addressed
to Charles P. .Marston, Hampton P. o.,
New Hampshire. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have cured other painful nervous
disorders, such as neuralgia, partial par
aiysis and lOcomotor ataxia. They are
sold by al druggists.

curing all state and municipal officers

RAISED THE VALUATION
GRATIFYING RESULT OF THE STATE
BOARDS WORK.
Increase of Ten Million Dollars; Cor
porations Were Given Touching
Up; Personal Property Same.

The state board of equalization finish
ed its labors at noon yesterday and add
journed.
As result of the boards labors the
total taxable valuation in the state is
about 1855 100000. This includes both
personal and real property, the latter
with the exemptions omitted, Which
amount to about $4,000, 900.
The personal property returns, with
which alone the board concerned itself
this year. are about the same as last
year, $4,000. 600 The real property
division, however, is swelled by about
$l0,OOO,00O, by reason of new buildings
and improvements, and it is this that
brings the taxable valuation of the state
so much ahead of last year.
With the board inhicting some of the
heaviest increases in years on the large
corporations of the state, it was gener-
ally expected that there would be a big
gain in the personal property values.
These increases, however, the board
offset by decreases in other classes, no
tably that of household furniture. The
returns on these goods and merchandise
were also several millions under last
year. and these the board made no at
tempt to increase.
