In Pain, Day and Night. SCIATICA FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS. JOHN HUNT, HASTINGS. 'CRIPPLED AND BED-RIDDEN. DOCTORS FAILED TO CURE HIM. ACTIVE AS A BOY TO-DAY. DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. "Ail tl:e neighbors uec-cl to watch for the doctor's coming and going, '° hear iioiv I was when I was down with or.epi my bad attacks of Sciatica," said' John Sunt, an okr-time drover wlio lias settled ■down iu Hastings after having travelled over and over again, every inch of the Hawkn's Bay district. "For 17 years, : never got through a winter without being laid up with it for weeks on end. The pain was awful. Often I nearly went wild with it. You couldn't pay me to face the agony of that Sciatica again—but, tliank God, theres no need. Dr Williams' P.ir.k Piiis cured me for good' five years ago. "It was away back in 'B2 that I started to suffer, about seven years after I cmie out from Scotland," said- Mr Hunt. "I was droving at the time—and one night aunped, like a fool, on a heap of wet ferns. Next, morning, I woke up with a tingling pain in the back of my thigh. That was the start of the Sciatica that came near to costing mc my life. The pain spiead down my legs and up in my 'hips and 1 the small of my back. Every move .vent- a burning stab clean through me. No torture could have been worse. I could no more get up into the saddle than I could- fly. It was as much as I could do to walk. My knee was drawn up, and' I could just put my toes to the ground. It wou-kl have torn the Jess off me if I had; tried to walk straight. The pain was more than I could stand. It took nil the heart out of me, and I direaded an attack like death. As eooii as I cot over ore attack. I lived in dread of the next. Each time the agor.y was worse, than it was before. Day and night it never let up on me foT one minute. I could not even sit np on a chair, for it just caught the nerve and sent the pain tearing up and down my leg. Often X was a.j good as c.rippled. I couidi only hobble along on crutches. It took me over an hour to go ICO yards. When a bad tui'.i came on, T couldn't even do that. I went down on the flat of my back in bed. fairly paralysed with, the pain. "Time and again, my neighbors have sat up with me ail night trying all manner of things to ease my terrible pain,"' added Mr Hunt. "I h::d the best doctors in the Hawke's Bay district, but they couldn't do me any good'. They blistered me and physicked me—but the pain was just as l*J a.3 ever. I could never tell you how many pounds I spent on plasters and stuff to rub into my kg—but it was just -tin-owing money away. My muscles were all drawn up and twisted-, and the agony was cruel. Day and night, I lay on my back, moaning a.n<l groaning—the pain ripping down the back of rav thigh and into the calf of my leg. Wltm it caught me behind the knee, I had to yell out.' No matter if I lay in one position all day without moving a muscle, the Sciatica, still kept -gnawing and burning away at my leg. The nerve was all reel and."swollen, and 1 couldn't bear even the bed-clothes to touch ine. At last, the muscles of my leg started to waste away. and I made up my mind that I was crippled- for life. "That's just what 1 would have been if .it liadn't teen for Hobeon, a friend of mine uo in Waiiotara. He swore by Dr Williams' Pink Pills, and he said there wasn't another medicine under Heaven that could ever get Sciatica or Rheumatism out of the blood. T took his advice and hobbled up to Eccles' chemist shop for half-a-dozen boxes of Dr Williams' Pink Pills— for I knew they had no chance if I didn't give them a fair trial. The first box gave me a great apnetite—and before I had' finished the third, the /pains eased a. fet. I.nicked up heart, then, andl kept on taking Dr Williams' Pink Pills steadoly ti.lt there wasn't a. nam or <m ache left. I didn't have to finish the fifth box before I was on \rfr feet a.gain. as lively as ever. I felt as fit to jump a barbed wire fence then as I did- 20 ye.iTS ago. And what's more Dr Williams'* Pink Pil'scured_. me for good. Even in the winter T !iever have a twinge of pain now. Ask almost anyone in Hawke's Bay district what cured John Hunt's Sciatica, nndi they'll tell you Dv Williams' Pink Pills." Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cured. -Mr Hunt because they went right down to the root of the tiouble in the blood. They actually make new blood—hist that, nothing 'more. They don't tinker with mere symptoms. They won't r-nre any dis-Fa-se that isn't- caused by bad bbsd. But then bad blood is the cause of all commoui disease' like nna»mia, headaches-, indigestion, bad liver, nervousness, neuralgia, la-iiatic-a. rheumatism, lumbago, backache, kidney trouble, and the snecial secret ailments of growing "iris and women whose ihealth plainly depends upon the rich-re-"? and regiilarifv of their blood supply.'.
