WHAT TO DO FOR NEURALGIA

There are very few cases of neuralgia that are not caused by a thin, run-down condition of the blood. Almost the first thing the doctor looks for in neuralgic patients is the amende appearance. There are two things to do for any form of neuralgia. Apply heat to the affected part to soothe tho pain, and feed the nerves by taking a tonic containing the elements needed by them. Heat as afforded by hot flannel, hot water bags, etc., lulls the inflamed nerves into temporary quiet. It dues not cure- Not until the nutrition of the nerves is restored will the inflammation subside and the neuralgic state be remedied. Never under any circumstances should- drugs to deaden tho pain be used. Dr Williams’ Pink Pills furnish to tho blood the needed elements, and the blood conveys them to tho nerves. Tho only way of getting food or medicine to the nerves is through tho blood. Remember that. Neuralgia is a general term. It means inflammation of a nerve. It is given different names according to the nerve affected. Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve. _ Applications of hoat will sooths the pain in all forms of neuralgia, and J)r Williams’ Pink Pills will correct the condition that causes it.
