STRICKEN BY SCIATICA.
well Known Athlete who had, to Give up Sp©rt, \ — — — -t» i . i Suffered off and on for ten yeara^i Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. j A few years ago there were few bet- I ter known athletes in Tasmania than Sir. Arthur J. Grice, of Drif&ld-streei Queenstown, whose performances on the cinder track and football field, won for him a place in the front rank. After a time, however, Mr. Grice disappeared from active competition, and it was learned that this was due to recurring attacks of Sciatica. After suffering off and on for a number of years, Mj;. Grice is hearty and strong again, r^d he thanks Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, f OT completely curing his Sciatica. ■ TT e ! said: — "Up to the age of 23 years. I W as always strong and healthy, and. a wellknown athlete. From that ti^© forward I was compelled to give u^, a u sport such as running, football, * tc owil f g repeatea attack* of Scia^ca in the right hip, and extending to 'Ac right knee I coneulted several doct^g wno preßcr ibed for me some medic^e to take, others blistering me and g i ving rae loti The bbstermg wa.<> Bo severe that ifc took all the skin off r^ hip to my knee. The pain at times r^ weU - nigh l unbearable. v a ! € f y hal 'P- like needles being pushed mto ihe| flesh. It used to be womb at r^ght, especially if I got wet or ftad W orlring in water. The sciatic i^- r ve was very tender to the touch. The attack used to vary, sometimes, lasting for a week or more, and at ot^jor times for a day or so. It was aly'Ays a burning pain ; walking would ftritate it. The muscles wasted away. I had been in this statei for about ten years, and whenever it came on I used to consult the doctors, but without receiving permanent relief, and had come to tho conclusion that it would come and go whenever ifc liked. Eventually a fellow workmen, who had been cured of Sciatica after being bedridden for three weeks, advised me to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial, as they had cured him. I got a box and benefited so much from their uso I kept on with them, and by the time I had taken four boxes I felt completely cured. That is nearly two years since, and I am happy to say T have never had a twinge or any sign j of the complaint since, and I can conj scientiously recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to anyone suffering as I did, t or for any other coniplaint\ arising from | a disorder of tho' blood, as I have known j several who have benefited by their use." The price is 3s per box, six boxes 15s [ 6d, ana if you have trouble in getting ■them, send a postal note for the amount |to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. of I Australasia, Ltd., Wellington, and they I will be sent, post free, by return mail. — i Advt.
