A PLATELAYER'S MISFORTUNE

As he is both well known and highly respected m Balclutha and Palmerston, great sym-, pathy has been expressed for him. .It appears that owing to the hard work and exposure when laying plates on the Government Railway about three years ago he was attacked by sciatica. Acute buring pains started in the hip and gradually extended down the leg to the ankle. Every movement caused fearful agony. This misfortune incapacitated him from work although he kept on as long as possible. Then ho tried several medicines without

avail. At last he read m the papers of others who had- been cured of sciatica bv Dr. Williams’ pink pills for pale people". A supply was purchased for him, and alter taking three boxes the pains lessened. Eight boxes cured him. Since then he has resumed his occupation, and has remained in excellent health.
