WHAT TO DO FOR SCIATICA.
Sciatica is in the Fame class as Neuralgia—both are disorders ot the nerves. .Medical writers refer to r-ciatica atf ••Neuralgia of the Sciatic Nerve." The complaint is characterised by swift darting pains that begin at the hips and go down the leg. .Sufferers say these pains arc like hot needles in tender ile«h. Sometimes they become so tierce that the medical iuan ; prescribes opiates to the pain. Applications oi heat may be used to get temporary relief. Not until the nutrition oi the nerves is restored, however, will the inllammalion subside. As the nerves derive their nourishment from the blood, the value ol Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in this complaint is apparent. They make tho good new blood the nerves need to keep them in tone. This is not a matter of theory; a host of sufferers from sciatica have derived benefit from their use. Under the influence of these pills, the blood supply is increased; the iicrves are soothed and lx'comc normal in condition, and tho extreme- pain becomes less and finally stops. If you are a sufferer you can get these pills at your nearest chemist. A post card with your name and address sent to the Dr. "Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, will bring you a useful booklet on '•Diseases of the Nerves." 00
