WHAT TO DO FOR SCIATICA.

Treatment Required That Will Toite The Nerves. A Christchureh Man Who Endured A Crippling Attack; His Health Wrecked He Tells How Dr. Williams' Pink Pilfs Cured Him. Sciatica is in the same class as Xouralgia—both are caused by inflammation of certain nerves. Same medical writers refer to Sciatica as "Neuralgia of the Sciatic Nerve." The complaint is characterised by swift darting pains that begin at Mm hips and-go down the leg. Sufferers : say these pains are. like hot needles in tender flesh. Sometimes -they become so i fierce that the medical man prescribes opij ates to easo the pain. Applications of i heat ma;,* be used to get temporary relief. Not until the nutrition of tlie nerves is restored, however, will the inflammation subside. As the nerves derive their Bonrislmient from the blood, tho value of Dr. Williams 8 Pink Pills in this complaint is apparent. They make the good new blood the nerves need to keep them in tone. Mr. Hugh M'Lachlnn, a well-known building contractor, of Christchureh, whose . homo is at 62 Ashbourne Hi., -Woolston, speaking to an interviewer of his experience, said:— "Some years ago I was first attacked with that terrible: complaint Sciatica. I well remember the .awful agony I was in. I had to do a lot of drain work and was continually getting wet through to the skin. 1 began to get sharp shooting pains in my hip. which' seemed to ko right down to my foot. The pain was awful; at, times I felt so depressed and low spirited .that I felt I would have to end everything. I was' attended by three doctors, but their treatment did me no good, I had to drag niv logs gjne after the other. My appetite became very bad and the verv thought of food would turn me sick. People told me 1 looked a wreck. I could net sleep at night, so was obliged to lie down during tho slay. One day I was reading the par*!' and saw of the wonderful curds by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. ,t was prepared to try any, thins avid so T sot a few boxes.
