WHAT TO DO FOR SCIATICA
Sciatica is in the same class as Neuralgia, —both are disorders of the nerves. Medical writers refer to sciatica as " Neuralgia of the Sciatic Nerve." The complaint is characterised by swift darting pains that begin at the hips and go down the leg. Sufferers say these pains are like hot needles in tender Ileal). Sometimes they become so fierce that the medical man prescribes opiates to ease the pain. Applications of heat may he used to get tern porary relief. Not until tho nutrition of tho nerves is restored, however, will the inflammation subside. As the nerves derive their nourishment from the blood, the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in this complaint is apparent. They make the good new blood the nerves need to keep them in tone. This is not a matter of theory; a host of sufferers from sciatica have derived benefit from their use. Under tho influence of these pills, the blood supply is increased; the nerves are soothed and become normal in condition, and the extreme pain becomes less and finally stops. If you are a sufferer you can get these pills at ypur nearest dealers. '
