WHAT SCIATICA IS

There is something terrifying about the
word sciatica. Yet sciatica is nothing
but neuralgia of the sciatic nerve and
neuralgia is an inflammation caused by
lack of nourishment.
Application of dry heat as hot sand
bags or flannel to the course of the in
famed nerve often ouiets the pain but 1t
does not feed the nerve. It temporary
relief, a good thing to know about, but
not remedy.
What causes the nerve starvation that
results in neuralgia and sciatica and how
may it be corrected?
The most common cause Is a rundown
physical system and frequent exciting
cause is exposure to cold. Thin blood is
often ut fault. 1t is through the blood
that the nerves get their nourishment.
Mortal man knows of no other way OF
getting nourishment to q nerve. There
fore when tho blood gets thin and faila
to feed the nerves they show their resent
ment by becoming in1amed. Try DR..
williams Pink Pills at this stage and
see how the inflammation subsidies as the
enriched blood carries to the starved
nerves the elements they need.

1T RUINS HAIR TO
WASH 1T WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very spafingly,
If at all, if you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and better than soap or any
thing else you can use
One or two tcaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. . 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, which
rinses out easily, removing every par
ticle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifcd cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, and a few ounces
will supply every member of the
family for months.
