IT BfipCi ; i » / , Could Only Hobble About on Sticks, "T —O 7- < This Man Found no Relief until he Tried the Tonic Treatment which cured him. Mr. W. Pi Lamb, the well-knawn' tailor of 144 Little Collins-' Street, Melbourne, ivas 60 crippled by Sciatica th/vt . lie could' finally just hobble about on sticks. His case is another instance of the usoleesnessof treating/a nervous complaint like Sciatica with liniments. Of course they didn't do him any good. When he found out that he had to treat the cause of his trouble and build up the run down nerves, he bogan to take that splendid nerve tonic, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and they quite cured him. "I used to. suffer; cruelly from Sciatica," said Mr. lamb. "It came, on gradually in the left leg and left side, and at last I was quite crippled with it. I-was in Adelaide then, and got so bad with it that-I had at last to walk, about or rather hobble on two sticks. , I used to try all sorts of liniments to get a littlerelief. One'doctor I went to wanted to operate on the Sciatic nerve, so you can tell I was pretty bad. The pains would extend from the hip to the knees. The hip was so sore and tender I couldn't put my finger to it. Every movement was a torture, sitting or standing or lying down. I dreaded the night time; as I always folt worse. I'd lie for hours in one position groaning with pain and longing for the day b'ght afraid to move, and when I did it had to be done very slowly and with the greatest difficulty. Every nerve seemed on fire, and as if something was gnawing and tearing at each muscle. Practically.l was never free from pain, especially in the hip. I was a journeyman tailor at the time, and I don't know how I got through my work. Often I had to knock off and take a spell, as I always felt worse when setting or keeping still, and I'd be too stiff to move after a rest. I dreaded to have to go out, and I never felt fit for my work. A cold day or a change in. the weather would make the attacks worse, and I hated the idea of winter approaching. My poor wife had a nice time with me, as the pain used !o' mako.mo desperate, mid I'd have to be waited on and looked after." Some days I. could only get to.iny place at the dinner table by clutching the table 'with both hands, and hobbling slowly round it, and when I'd get there 1 couldn't eat for the pain. I don't think anyone could have gone through more suffering than'l havt done. It wore mo away to a perfect wreck. I'd have, been slad to die, aud have dona with it all. Every how and then a twinge would dart through me as if I were on the rack and being torn to pieces and red hot knives being plunged-' in ami pulled out again. Sly wife would have (o help me to bed and lift nic in by degrees, one leg at a time, and there I'd lie like a log, and have -to be helped up in the morning, much the same way. I owe my recovery solely to Dr. . Williams' Pink Pills. I reail of them in a Broken Hill newspaper, and made up my mind to give them a trial. I had been taking them for about three weeks before 1. felt any better. As I took them the attacks became less acute till at last 1 was quite free again." Aire. Lamb, who was present at the interview, bore out her husband's statement. ' Don't let nny dealer talk you into taking something which he says" is "just; as good."
