A Form Of Neuralgia Affecting the sciatic

matism and How DIR. williams Pink Pills,
the Great Nerve Tonic, Cure 1t.
Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve.
Its origin is generally rheumatic and Is the
direct result Of taking cold. For this reason
the disease is commonly known as "sciatic
rheumatism"
Lack of blood is almost always associated
with neuralgia One medical authority las
defined neuralgia as sthe cry of the nerves
for better blood" This is true because the
nerves receive their nOurishment through
the blood. Build up the blood, the lmpov-
erished nerves are fed and the Neuralgia
pains disappear.
Absolute rest is the best aid to proper
medical treatment. Rest and DR.; Williams
Pink Pills " i'll cure most cases. This treat
ment cured Mr.. W. @. Milcoxon, the we'll
known jeweler. of 535 Main street, Cdshoc-
ton, Ohio, who is enthusiastic about the
remedy. He says:
81 suffered for nearly two years with Sic
atica. The pain extended from my hip t!
the heel of the foot and was 50 terrible thfat
could only hobble around with the use OF
a cane. l could not sit down without suner-
ing intense pain and even to turn over IN
bed hurt me so that / could hardly endure
it. The only rest could get was by having
my leg propped up. l could not put on or
take off my shoes and stockings without as
Sistance.
81 was under the care of four doctors and
took several medicines but not one OF them
did me any good. Electricity also failed to
help me. One day read of cure OF sci
atica by DR.. Williams Pink Pills and wrote
| to the person who was cured Tor iniorma-
| tion about his case. The reply praised the
! pills so highly that began to take them at
once. The pills just hit my case and in two
weeks time | was great deal better
| took them while longer and was cured
and have never been troubled with sciatica
since"
| Pain that seems almost unbearable is a
| characteristic of scatic rheumatism. In
some eases the pain is knifeiike, sharp or
| shooting in others it is dull and aching. In
| acute cases there is some fever but in the
more frequent chronic cases there Is little
or no heat in the affected part.
Sciatica is stubborn in resisting treatment
and the patient frequently suffers for years.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills do not simply re-
| leve pain but they cure diseases caused by
| depraved or Initiated blood. They actually
make new blood and have therefore direct
and powerful curative effect on such dis
eases as rheumatism, anemla, general de-
bility and after-effects of the grip. AS the
nerves depend upon the blood for nuurlsh-
| ment and medication, Dr. Williams Pink
Pills are uneQualed for the treatment of
even the most severe nervous disorders,
such as neuralgia, partial paralysi 81.
