John Hunt, of Hastings

Lost the Use of His Legs Doctors Failed to Cure Him No Need for Crutches Now Healthy and Active Again Dr Williams' Pink Pills.

"Seven years after I came to tho colony I got Sciatica, "and it nearly cost me my life," said Mr John Hunt, an experienced drover, who knows cverv inch of tho Hawke's Bay District, and who has now settled down in Hastings, where everybody speaks of him as a straight, honest man. "For 17 years 1 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 warch for the doctors coming and going to hear how I was. Time and again my neighbours have sat up with ino all night trying all manner of things to easo my terrible pain. I don't know how I stood the agony of it, all. But, thanks to Dr Williams' Pink Pills, nil 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, ami 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 onlv a tingling in the back of the thigh. Then it spread down my legs and through my loins. Soon it grew sharp and burning. Every movement sent a spasm of through me. No torture cwld he more intense. The nerves in my legs were red and swollen. Mv muscle? wore drawn up and twisted. I could no more mount- my horse than I could fly. Whenever the attacks were bad I had to take to lied. The pain never gave me a, moment's peace. It was always burning and shooting through me, day "and night, T could .not even sit up' in a chair. At my test- I eould only hobble along on crutches. It took me an hour to go a hundred yards." No man could have been more mise'rab'e', 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 plasters I bought, and howmany liniments and lotions I 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 l>eon in my grave now if Hobson, a friend of mine up in Waitotau, had not made me try Dr Williams' Pink Pills. 'Thev actually make new blood,' ho said to me, 'and that is the only way under heaven to owe Rhcumatism or Sciatica.'

"Well," Mr Hunt went on, "I took my friend Hobson's advice, arid hobbled up to Eccles's chemist sho D for a box of Dr Williams' Pink Pills. The first box gave mo a wonderful appetite—but I could not notice that it did my Sciatica any good. Rut thero was no denying after two nr three more boxes, that the pains were a, jjreat deal'easior. I picked up hear! then. and kept on taking: the nills steadily until there was not a r/ain or aii aohe left in my whole body. The new blood braced up my nerves, loosened my muscles, strengthened my spine, and gave me back letter health than 1 had enjoyed for year; and year* Even in the winter now I never have a twinge of pain, "o I am sure that Dr Williams' Pin!; Pill* havo cured me for !?orxl. And when they onre a, man who was crippled wilh Sciatica as I was they will cure the worst-case in all New Zealand."
