QUITE CRIPPLED ■ BY' SCIATICA.

Could Only Hobble About on Sticks. , 0 ; , This Man Found no Relief until he Tried the Tonic Treatment which cured him. Air W.- P. Lamb, the' well-kn,pwn tailor of 144, Little Collins street, Alelbouruo, was so . crippled ' by Sciatica that he Could finally just hobble about on sticks. His case is instance of the uselessness of treating a nervous complaint like Sciatica I with liniments. Of course. they didn’t .do him any good. W'm'ii ho found . out that ho' had to treat the cause of • his trouble and build up the rim-down nerves, lie began to take that , splendid nerve tonic. Dr .Williams’ hini; Pills, and they quite cured him. “I used to suffer cruelly- from. Sciatici,” said Air Lamb. “It came on gradually in tho left leg and-left side, and at last 1 was quite crippled with it. I was in Adelaide then, and got so bad with it that I had at last to walk about or,- ra.ther, hohhlo - ontwo sticks. I used 'to try all sorts, of liniments to get a littlo relief. One doctor I wCiit toiVaittcd to operate on, the Sciatic ’ nerve, .so, yon can tell I Was pretty bad. Tho pains would extend from tho hip to the knee. . The hip was so soro and tender.l couldn’t put my finger on it. Every movement was a torture, sitting or standing, or lying down. I dreaded tho nigh* timop as I always- felt worse. I’d lie for hours in one position groan-, iiig with pain and longing for the daylight, afraid to move, and when I did it had to bo done very slowly and with the greatest difficulty. Every nerve seemed ou fire, and as if vomealing was gnawing-and tearing at each muscle. Practically I was never free from pain, especially in tho hip. I was a journeyman tailor at .the .time, and I don’t know how I got through my work. Often 1 had to knock off and take ' a spell,- as, I always felt worse when sitting or keeping still, and I’d be too stiff to move after a, rest. I dreaded to have to go out, and I never felt lit for my work. A cold day or a change in the weather would make the attacks worse, and I, hated the idea of wintor_ approaching. ivly poor wife had ■ a nice time with me, as tho pain used to make mo desperate, and I’d have to bo waited, on and looked after.' S-omo days I oould only got to my place, at tho dinnertable by clutching the table with 'bothhanids and hobbling slowly round it, and when I’d got there I couldn’t eat for the pain. I don’t think anyone could have gone through more suffering than I have dene. It wore me away to a perfect wreck. I’d have: been glad to die, and have done with, it all. Every now "and then a twinge would dart through mo as if I were on tho rack and being torn to pieces.and red-hot knives being, plunged in and nulled out again. My wife would have to help mo to bed and lift mo in by degrees, one leg at a time, and there I’d lie like a-log, and have to bo helped up in - the morning, much the same way. I - owe my recovery solely to Dr Williams’ Pink Pills.. 1 read of them in a Broken Hill, newspaper, and -made up my, mind .to give them a trial. I had been taking them for about three weeks before I felt any bettor. .As 1 took them tho attacks became less acute, till at last I was quite free again.” Airs Lamb, who was present at tho interview, boro ■out her husband's statement. Don’t lot any dealer talk you- into taking something which he says is just as good.” If you are pestered to take a substitute, send 3s for- one box. or 16s 6d for six boxes to the Dr Williams’ Medicine Company of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington.
