TO CORRECT
SC|ATlCA AND
NEURAL GA
Try the Treatment That This
Brockton w oman Found
So Successful

Neuralgia is due to the failure Of
the blood to carry nourshment to
nerve. 1t is due to malnutrtion,
nerve starvation and the pain Of neu-
ralgia has been described by an emf
nent scientist as the cry of d nerve
for food" The most direct way to
correct neuralgia is to build up the
blood so that it can give the nerves
the elements they need
Sciatica, or sciatc rheumatism. as
it is sometimes called, is neuralgia
of the sciatic nerve. 1t is stubborn
IN resisting treatment but calls for
the same remedy as sciatica
Mrs. James r. Martin, of No. IS
Denton street. Brockton, Mass. suf
fered for two years with sciatic rheu
matism, She says:
My trouble first started with a
pain low down on my left side and
seemed confined to space about the
size of a half dollar. 1t was a dull
aching pain and made me very nerv-
Gus. Gradually it grew worse and
became sharp and shooting. 1 became
very miserable, my blood was thin
and l had but little color.
Il had medical attention but got
very little relief until, through read
ing about them in a newspaper. | de-
cided to give DR.. Williams Pink Pills
trial. After | had taken the first
box noticed improvement. They eff
fected a great change for the better
in my blood. | took FIVE boxes alto
gether and the pains are entirely
gone l am satisfied that the pills
exactly suited my case and | have
recommended them to others"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are a blood
builder and nerve tonic. The rich,
red blood that they make not only
carries color to the cheeks and lips
and gives vigor to the muscles but it
revitalizes the exhausted nerves and
ouiets the pains of neuralgia and
sciatica. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
contain no opiates nor harmful drugs:
they restore health and strength but
do not give temporary stimulation.
In spite of the increased cost of all
drugs the price OF Dr. Williams Pink
