SCIATICA.

F. W. Cudby, Taranaki, Driven Half Mad with Pain Three Months a Cripple Leg Wasting Away Given Up by Threo Doclors Active as a Boy To : day Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "I had Sciatica so bad that three of tho best doctors in New Zealand could not do a thing for me. They could not oven case my pain, let alone euro me," | said Frederick William Cudby, of War- ' wick Ed., Stratford, Taranaki. "For three months I wasn't able to do a tap of work. Nearly everyone in the town knows how crippled I was. When I wac able to hobble about at all, I had to drag my kg after me, like a man with Paralysis. Poctors said I was crippled for life. I would have been, too, but for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Inside of two months they cured my Sciatica, and loft me as active as a lad of ten. My j cure is nothing less than a miracle. ; "I took this Sciatica one afternoon , when I got wet through to the skin, , Mr. Cudby said. "I felt all right next • morning — but that night I was dog- t tired, and lay on the sofa while my 1 wife set the table. l When she called \ out that dinner was ready, I went to , jump vp — but a sudden stab of pain , cdught me in tho hip, and ripped right ( down the muscles of my leg. I fell back ] on' Ihe couch* with a groan. I thought ) I was paralysed. My wifo heard mo 3 cry out, and rushed in from the kitchen. 0 There I lay in agony. She had a ter■riblo time getting me to bed, and I never left it for weeks. I stood thq Eain for three days and three nights eforo I would have the doctor near c me. My leg went numb, and all the muscles were pulled tight. All down the bade of my thigh was so sore and tender that I couldn't bear to let even the bed-clothes touch me. When the doc- ' tor was examining me, my wife could not stop in tho room and listen to my ! groans. j "The doctor told me to batho his leg with water as hot as my hands could bear, and then rub it with the liniment he ordered," airs. Cudby broko in. "I did this three times every clay — but it was only_ giving him fresh torture. Ho was getting worse and worse. I did not know where to turn to find some way i of easing his pain. I had to keep moving his leg from one position to another. And, no matter how gentlo I was, he couldn't help crying out every time. For weeks ho lay as helpless as a , cripple. When ho got up, at last, his j leg trailed behind ' him as if it wero. dead. I never thought he would work again. '"Sometimes the pain was like a cramp, and sometimes it seemed to gnaw clean into my bones," Mr. Cudby resumed. "My blood must have been to blame, for the pain was all over my body. The muscles in my hack began to stiffen up, and a dull ache settled above my hips. It felt as if a great rock had fallen on me there and crushed me. No matter which way I lay in bed, I could never get rid of that dull, bruised pain in tho small of my back. My thiga was always worso at nightr Tho pam kept shooting up and down my leg till I CQuldn't g€t a wink of sleep. There wasn't a nerve in my body that wasn't on edge. Each day ' ] I seemed less able to stand the pain. I ( was not half the man I was a few - weekß before. My muscles started to waste away, »and T knew that I was done for. It looked as if I was going' to be a cripple for life." "I called in two more doctors, but tK-oy coulcl not ease tlac "pain,** said Mrs. Cudby. ."Thoy tried tho electric battery on him, and spared no trouble or expense, but it was no. use. At last, the whole three doctors told me that Mr. Cudby would never be able to do another day's work. Still I would not give in that my husband was going to enc> his days a cripple., I got him six boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, for I had more faith in them than in all the doctors in New Zealand." "It was merely to please Mrs. Cudby that I started Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Mr. Cudby went on. "The first box gave mo a great appetite — but that was all. Aftsr the second, the pain eased up a bit. Whilo I was taking the third box, I felt so much better that I was ablo to go out for a few hours one day. A sudden storm came on, and I ! got another wetting. Next day, I was , as bad as ever. The agony in my leg was something awful. That took all tho heart out of me. I wanted to throw the rest of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ont / of tho window, but my wife wouldn't hear of that. She said that I must finish the six boxes — so I kept on. The pain eased up again, and my muscles loosened. Every day jfchere was a change for the bettor. I could feel the new blood tingling in my leg. Little by little, it brought it back to life. The muscles got strong again, and soon 1 could walk about fairly well. ( When I had finished six boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I didn't oven limp.' It's over five years from that day to this, and I've never had a twinge of Sciatica all that time. That proves that I am cured for good." It is easily explained why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills completely cured Mr. Cudby's crippling Sciatica when doctors' treatment and every other mean 3 had failed. Sciatica is a disease of the nerves — and the , nerves never, become i diseased until jtfco blood is too weak | " to keep them strong and healthy. Dr. ! i Williams' Pink Pills actually make new ! blood — nothing more. They don't act ' C on the bowels. Thoy don't tinker with - mere symptoms. They won't cure any disease that isn't caused by bad blood — • but then that is" tho"Cause of all common ' ailments, 'like 'paleness, pimples, skin disease, eczema, asthma, anaemia, indigestion, headaches, backaches, kidney troubles, ljver complaint, biliousness,, nervousness, Si. Vitus' dance rickets, partial., paralysis, locomotor ataxia, spinal weakness, failing powers, I decline, and the secret irregularities in the health of growing girls and women which aro due ■•to a- disordered blood ' supply. • Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured all these complaints., positively and permanently, by striking straight at their root -and oause-in the blood. But, of course, you must get the genuine Dr. „ Williams' Pink ' Pills, made by tho Dr. Williams' Medicine ' Co., Wellington.
