NEURALGIA 0F THE
 SC|AT|C NERVE.
Is Sometimes Called Sciatic
 Rheumatism.
One of the Most Painful Diseases bot It Can Be Cured as This
 Maine Case Shows.

sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve. Its origin is generally rheumatic and is the direct result of taking cold. For this reason tho disease is commonly known as ''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, Hartland, Me, became afflicted with sciatics while in . rundown condition through overwork. She says:
 "From July, 1907, to March, 1908, l was afflicted with scistica and from July to September l never left my rooms. The pains were in my limbs, back, and hip and were 90 great that l was helpless during the greater part of my sickness. My limbs, especially at the ankles, were swollen and lame. My stomach was weak and blosted, with gas. l was 50 nervous that the least thing excited me. was unable to get much sleep, had slight palpitation of the heart and was run down in flesh and strength.
 W was treated for eight months by doctors, who gave me tonics, but without help. Then I began taking Dr. Will liams' Pink Pills and found relief after short trial. 1 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 a copy of the new edition of our free book let, Diseases of the Nervous System. |" Send for a 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 $250, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

 HILL FALLS INTO NEW TROUBLE.
 Merritt w. Hill, the jovial Bank Street jeweler, came back from Win sted, the other day, beaming with happiness over his release-not from prison-but from a long and tedious experience of six or seven weeks as juror in the Superior court at Litch- field and Winsted, during which time he had studied Blackstone and other authorities on law. As the re- suit of the good advice of his friend, Peabody, and his spiritual advisers, he had about recovered from his mania of forgetting things, and wearing off other peoples hats. In this beaming state of happiness he entered a car of the New York and New Haven road, with his friend, Harris, and so engrossed did he be- come in the subject of his shaking off his days of Jury duty, that he walked out of the car leaving his $40 overcoat hanging in the car. It was Harris who brought him to earth again, and the way he sprinted for the train and dashed in after his coat, suggested a man fleeing from l the grasp of Deputy Sheriff Hunger ford. You'll have to have a private secretary if you don't reform," said Harris, as Hill, puffing from his fast run, came limping up the walk.
