NEURALG|A OF THE
 SC|ATIC NERVE.
k Sometimes Called Sciatic
 Rheumatism.
One of the Most Painful Diseases hut It Can Be Cured as This
 Maine Case Shows. !

eciakica is neuralgia of the sciatio nerve. Its origin is generally rheumatic and is the direct result of taking cold. For this reason the disease is commonly known e ''sciatic rheumatism.
 Lack of blood is almost always associ- ated with neuralgia. One medical authority has defined neuralgia as "the cry of the nerves for better blood" This is true because the nerves receive their nourishment through the blood. Build up the blood, the impoverished nerves are fed and the neuralgia pains disappear Absolute rest is the best aid to proper medical treatment Rest and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will cure most cases.
 Mrs. Alfred Stafford, of R. F. D. No. 1, Hartlsnd, Me, became afflicted with sciAtica while in . rundown condition through overwork. She says:
 Prom July, 1907, to March, 1908, I was afflicted with sciatica and from July to September l never left my rooms. Tho pains were in my limbs, back, and hip and were 70 great that was helpless during the greater part of my sickness. My limhs, especially at the ankles, were swollen and lame. My stomach was weak and bloeted with gas. was SO nervoasfhat the least thing excited me. I was unable to get much sleep, had slight palpitation of the heart and was run down in nesh and strength.
 "l was treated for eight mouths by doctoFs, who gave me tonics, but without help. Then began taking Dr. Will. Hams Pink Pills and found relief afte, short trial. I took several boxes in all and was cured. Iregained my strength and weight and am as well as ever. l would like to persuade every sufferer from sciatica to give Dr. Williams Pink Pills . fair trial"
 Every nervous sufferer should have c copy of the new edition of our free book. lot, Diseases of the Nervous System" Send for copy today.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price. 50 cents per box; six boxes for t2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady. N. Y.

 D. H. Harris of Mendon. Mich, man ager of this attraction, was in Mont gomery last Sunday comforting with Major Winters in regard to this fea- ture. Major Winters met him in Bir- minsham Wednesday, and they came to terms. By the securing of this fea- ture, the horse shows at vandiver Park will be more attractive than ever; in fact, they will surpaBs the horse shows of any State fair in the South.
 St. Patrick Is an imported Arabian stallion and has held the worlds rec- ord for the high jump of seven feet. ten and one.Quarter inches, for several years now.

 Memphis was the only oity in the South which secured this fancy horse exhibit this year. L. Fl. McCurdy of Lowndes- boro. who attended the Memphis Fair. pronounced this the most attractive feature of that fair.
 Major Winters deems himself very fortunate in securing this attraction for Montgomery. He stated last even ing that he had been very desirous. ever since he had taken hold of the secretaryship of this years fair. to se- cure a feature of this kind for the horse show program. He is of the opinion that this attraction will prove great drawing card. especially among the lovers of fancy horses.
 While in Birmingham Major Winters visited the fair now being held in that city. He stated that they had @ good show there and some fine exhibits and displays. The Birmingham fair closes two days before the opening of the Montgomery fair at vandiver Park.
