TORTURED BY SCIATICA

DOCTORING FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS. CURED IN THE END BY DR WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS. “It’s oyer thirty years now since I first set foot in New Zealand,” said Mr John Hunt, an experienced drover, who knows every inch of' the Hawke’s Bay district, and who has now settled down in Hastings, where everybody speaks of him as a straight honest man. “Seven years after I came to the colony I got this Sciatica that nearly cost me my life. For seventeen years I went through untold torture. My sufferings were the talk of the place. My friends said they never pitied any man as they did me when I was down with one of my bad attacks. They used to watch for tne Doctor’s coming and going to hear how I was. Time and again, my neighbours nave sat up with me all night, trying all manner of things to ease my terrible pain. I don’t know how I stood the agony of it all. But, thanks to Dr Yvilliams’ Pink Pills, all that is done with now. 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 they will tell you Dr Williams’ Pink Pills. “I started to suffer in ’82,” continued 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 by 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 twisted. I could no more mount my horse than I oould fly. Whenever the attacks were bad, I had to take to bed. The pain never gave me a moment’s peace. It was always burning and shooting through me, hay and night. I could not even sit up in a chair. At my best I could only hobble along on crutches It took me 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 couldn’t 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 ulasters I bought, and how many liniments and lotions 1 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 Waitorau, had not made me try Dr Williams’ Pink Pills. “They actually make new blood,’ ne said to me, 'and that is the only way. under Heaven to cure Rheumatism or Sciatica.’ “Well,” Mr Hunt went on, “I took my friend Hobson’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 that 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 steadily until there was not a pain or an ache left in my whole body. The new bload braced up my nerves, loosened my muscles, strengthened my spine, and gave me back better health than 1 had enjoyed for years and years. Even in the winter now I never have a twinge of * pain, so I am sure that Dr Williams’ Pink PiTls have cured me for good. And when they cure a man who was crippled with Sciatica as I was, they will cure the worst case in all New Zealand.” Dr Williams’ Pink Pills cured Mr Hunt because they went right down to the root of his trobule in the blood. They actually make new blood—just that, nothing more. They don’t tinker with mere symptoms. They won’t cure any disease that is not caused by bad blood. But then bad blood is the cause of all common diseases, like anaemia, headaches, indigestion, bad liver, nervousness, neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, lumbago, backache, kidney trouble, and the special secret ailments of growing girls and women, whose health, plainly ctePencl 3 upon the richness and regularity of - their blood supply. Dr Williams’ Pink Pills have a marvellous power to cure all these ailments. But get the genuine pills. Substitutes never cured anybody.
