FOR SCIATIC
RHEUMATISM
Try the Treatment That Cured
This Pronounced Case in
Minneapolis After Other
Treatments Failed.

Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic
nerve. Its origin is generally rheu-
matte and is the direct result of taking
cold For this reason the disease is
commonly known as ''sciatic rheuma-
tism." That DIR. Williams Pink Pills
cure this disease is shown by numerous
cases like that of Mrs. j. b. Hansen, of
No. 321 Twentieth Ave-, So, Minnea-
polls, Mimi. She says:
"a few years ago following an attack
of the grip was taken with sciatica.
For six years | suffered untold agony
and thought it would be blessing to
me if could only die. There were
sharp, shooting pains in both of my
limbs and my shoulders and arms were
affected also but not so severely. If [
moved about quickly, the pain would
catch me so that had to scream. MY
limbs would swell until 1 could hardly
walk. also had a terrible dull pain
in my back which was often unbear-
able. was confined to bed for a week
or two at time. While suffering from
the sciatica l was further rundown by
weakness common to women of my age.
81 received so little relief from the
doctors medicine that l became dis
couraged and quit it. My husband
urged me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills as he had read how they had cur
ed cases like mine. l felt better after /
had taken the pills short time but
took several boxes until l was certain l
was cured. l give this statement of my
cure thinking that other sufferers may
be helped as was through using DR..
Williams Pink Pills"
The tonic treatment with DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills succeeds where other
treatments fail because it is based oH
the sound medical principle that tho
health of the nerves depends on pure,
red blood.
Every person who is interested in tho
home treatment of nervous disorders
should send for a new edition of our
booklet entitled, Diseases of the Ner-
vous System, Their Nature, Symptoms

After a long pause she broke out

She shrugged her shoulders.
wait here; he will be back in half
an hour"
I took a chair. She called out to
Madame Zaza that she was engaged
with Monsieur Goron, and sat down,
staring yacantIy at the wall opposite.
Then, after a while, a mans voice
from the back called, "Lucie!"
Sic turned toward me.
There he is. See him yourself, but
remember my words"
1 went to the back, and there
before me stood a tall man of
about thirty-fve, answering in every
description to my missing number five.
For a few seconds We looked at
each other.
IN. Charbonnel?" asked. He
nodded.
81 am M. Goron, and you will oblige
lie by coming to my office. I want to
speak to you"
He bowed assent.
1 hailed a passing cab, and without
having exchanged a word on the way,
we arrived at the Prefecture.
The more l watched the man the
more 1 felt impressed with his ap-
pearance. The grave eyes, the aqui-
line nose, the energetic mouth, be
tokened strength and will-power.

with an aquiline nose and black
mustache," interrupted M. de C.
"He played some pretty waltzes,"
piped the fair-haired youth.
None of them knew his name, but
they-especially the painter-gave me
his exact portrait. thanked them,
and returned to the Rue de PROXY. The
Dominguezes, husband and wife,
vaguely remembered the tall man with
the aquiline nose, but he was a
stranger to them. l, therefore, gave
Madame Dominguez the mans minute
description, and begged her TO go
to her friends to whom she had given
blank invitations, and see whether she
could obtain the desired informa-
ton
Unfortunately, It led to NO re-
suit.
She had been to every house, and
no one knew the man wanted.
A week passed. l had not made a
step forward, and number five remain
ed invisible.
l had gone to the fair in the Place
du Trone to make an inquiry about a
case in which I was interested. I
was lighting my cigarette behind
Madam Zaza's booth, when whisper
ing conversation between a woman
and a man fell upon my ears, and
distinctly heard the words Rue de
Prony" and "Dominguez."
I did not hesitate a second. 1 ran

times at the desk, and, to the surprise
of Madame ZaZa, made straight for

with pleasure" he retorted, and
that same night we were in the we'll
known 'Bouillon," waiting for the
painter-pianist.
My young friend kept q careful
watch, and eight o'clock had struck
when he cried out:
"Hurrah! there he is. And-but
that's really funny. You are in luck,
M. Goron. Do you see the chap he
is with? He, too, was one Of the mu
steal ornaments Of the soiree."
Even before looking at the two
young men was convinced that Meth
er of them was likely to be the bur-
glaT.
We waited till the two gentlemen
had finished their dinner and put on
their hats, when M. de C. went up
and introduced them to me, and in

neighboring cafe. They were. all deep

When my young friends had ex-
hausted their wit, I turned the con-
versation in other channels. In re-
ply to my question, the painter in
formed me that he knew another man
who had obliged the company with
dances at the Dominguez soiree, and,
after few more jokes about the in
terest 1 took in these amateur must
clans, he promised to bring the other
man to me the next morning.
Punctually at eleven the painter was
ushered into my Office, followed by a
nineteen-year-old, fair-haired boy, the
son of a rich widow, very nervous and
awkward, who dropped his hat and
stick half dozen times in the space
of five minutes. There was little Of
the expert burglar about him. Yes, he,
too, had struck up two waltZes and a
quadrille, but he had left early when
he found it was getting a bit rowdy.
There remained, therefore, only one
player, and if he was like those
had thus far seen, my theory, based
on the two stains, fell to the ground.

them whether they could not remem-

They began by shaking their heads.
