CRIPPLED BY SCIATICA.

. JOHN htjnt, oi* il*&&ngs,. LOST THE USE OF-HIS'U3GS/ DOCTORS FAILED TO CURE 'BtlM. NO NEED FOB CRUTCHES NOW. v HEALTHY AND ACTIVE AGAIN. DR WTLLTAW PINK PILLS. " Seven years after I cam© to the : colony I got sciatica, and it nearly coSb :me my life," said Mr John Hunt, an experienced drover, who fellow's every inch of . the HawWs Bay district, and who baß now settled down in Hastings, where everybody sneaks of him as a straight, honest man. "Tor seventeen years I went through untold torture. My sufferings were the talk of the place. My friends said they never patted asiy mail tf&ftihey did me, when I was down willl one of my bad attacks/ They used to watoh for the doctors coining arid going, to-hear how I was. Time aid again my neighbors have sat up with me all night, trying all mattner of things to ease my terribhs pain. I don't know how I stood the agony of it all Bnt, thanks to Dr WaJdame' Pink Pills, all that is done with joow. They cured me five years ago, and I have never had a twinge of pain since. Ask almost anyone in the .district ■what cured John Hunt's sciatica, and tier will'tell you Dr Williams' Pink Pills. "I started to suffer in '82," contin»ed Mr Hunt. " One night', when out droving, I camped, like a fool, on a heap of wet ferns. That brought on sciatica at once. At first the pain was only a tingling in the back of the thigh. Then, it spread down my legs and through my loins. Soon it> grew sharp and burning. Every movement sent a spasm of agony through me. No torture could be more intense. The nerves in my legs were red and swollen. My muscles were drawn up and twfeted. I could no more mount my horse than I could fly. Whenever the attacks were bad I had to take to bed. The pain never gave mo a moment's peace. It was always burning and shooting through roe, day and night. I could not even sit up in a chair. At my best I could only hobble along oai crutches. It took tno an hour to go a hundred yards. No man could have been more miserable, for I was practically crippled. I couldn't work and I coukkrt sleep. "I had the best doctors in the district, but they could do me no good. They blistered me and dosed me, but the pain was just as bad as ever. I could not tell you how many plasters I boughtj and how many linhuenta and lotions I rubbed into my leg, trying to get a little ease. At that time I did not know that the. sciatica was rooted in the blood. I was so bad that I am sure I would have been in my grave now if Hobson, a friend of mine up in Waitotau* had nob made me try Dr Williams' Pink PiEs. 'They actually make new blood,' he said to me, ' and that is the only way under heaven to cure rheumatism ©r sciatica.' "WelL" Mr Hunt went on, "I took my friend Hobsom's advice, and hobbled up to Eccles' chemist shop for a box of Dr Williams' Pink Pills. The first box gave me a wonderful appetite, but I could not notice tliat it did my sciatica any good. But there was no denying, after two or. three more boxes, that the pains were a great deal easier. I picked up heart then, and kept on taking the pills steadOy until there was not a pain or an ache left in my whole body. The new blood braced up my nerves, loosened my muscles, strengthened my spine, and gave me back better health than I had enjoyed for years and years. Even in the winter now I never have a twinge of pain, so 1 am sure that Dr Williams' Pink Pills have cured me for good. And when they cure a man who was crippled with sciatica as I was, they will euro the worst case in all New Zealand." Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cured Mr Hunt because they "wiesßt right down to the root of his trouble in the blood. They actually make new blood—just that, nothing more.- They don't act on the bowels. They don't tinker with mere symptoms. They won't euro any disease thai fen't caused by bad blood. But, bad blood is. the cause of all comuKSn diseases like affiemia, headaches, indigestion, bad liver, nervousness, neuralgia, roiatiea, rheumatism, lumbago, backache, kidney trouble, and the special secret ailments of growing girls and women whose hearth plainly depends upon the richness and regularity of their brood-supply. Dr Williams' Pink Talk have a marvellous power to cure all these ailments. But get the genuine pills; Substitutes never cured anybody. You can order the genuine pills by mail from Dr Williams' Medicine Co., WeHingtoni, at 3s a box, or six boxes 16s 6d, post free;—[Advt]
