A eudden, sharp stab of pain in the hip, so intense that only those who have experienced it can really understand or describe the agony. That is sciatica. It quickly cripples strong and robust men and women, and yet sciatica is but a painful symptom of trouble which' , can goon be corrected. - < So many things ara offered to those who suffer from sciatica that choice i« difficult, but if you look into the matter carefully, as you should, you will find that practically all of them are merely capable of giving temporary relief from the pain. Of what use ia that? Put into plain language, sciatica is the pain which is experienced when the great sciatic nerve ia irritated, by uric acid. What is the use of numbing, the nerve that 'has warned you t>{ the presence of this harmful uric acid? Ihe vvay to get lasting benefit is to get rid of the harmfuJ uric acid, and, by taking De Witt's .Fills to cleanse and .strengthen your kidneys, you can do this easily, quickly, and naturally. Nature gave you kidneys to filter your blood and keep your system free' from harmful and paincausing uric acid, and it is foolish to attempt to improve upon Nature's plan. Just take Dβ Witt's Pills when you are in pain. Keep your kidneys right. Nature will do the rest. Chemists everywhere sell De Witt's Pills at 3/6 per box, and in most cases it will be found that two of the pills taken at night are sufficient to give atop.*! -&!i*Ss relief.— ~..-,
