SCUTE SCIATICA EIERY YEAR.

Crippled in Bed in Helpless Torture. — Neighbours had to do Everything for him. A Marvellous Cure by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, To cure Sciatica and its torturing, shooting pains, treatment to restore the norves to their proper state of tone is required. Medical me liall agree that Sciatica is a nervous disorder. It may bo caused by an injury or blow to the Sciatic nerve, but often occurs in a run-down, nervous condition. There arc on record a great many cures of Sciatica by Dr Williams's Pink Pills. They are a blood-making medicine, and direct nerve tonic, and the record of cures of Sciatica is so lengthy that their value in this complaint is rertuin. After suffering severe attacks of Sciatica annually for many years Mr F. Sylvca, Hallam street, Tennyson, Port Piric, S.A., found that rubbing liniments and outward treatment gave him practically no relief. Mr Sylwa was Dually cured by Dr Williams's Pink Pills. He made the following statement to a reporter:— " I was always getting wet when in my boat out fishing, and Sciatica came on mo gradually, and I began to suffer acutely, and for four years it was in my system. From September to January in every year it was never absent, and I would often gettwinges of it in other months. 1 was taken so bad once on stepping ashore about 4 a.m. I actually had to crawl homo on my hands and knees. I was practically in bed then for four months, and had to be looked after by my mates. Occasionally I would dress myself, and it would take me nearly an hour to put on my clothes, and hobble with a tick tothedoor tosit in the sun. These yearly attacks would go away in January, and X would get back to work, but only to be laid up in bed tho same way the next September. At times I could not get out of my bed to go as far as the kitchen. I was seven weeks in the hospital here, but got no relief. I crawled home, and had to sit down quite a dozen times on the road. The left leg was affected from the hip to the ankle. I would feel every nerve and muscle on fire, and pains would dart up and down like lightning, or shocks from a battery. At night I might bo reading in bed, and with the slightest movement the attack would come on, and there would be no more rest for me that night. Perhaps when I did fall off to sleep, if I happened to move, tho -pain would start, and wake mo up for certain. Often when I would try to get out of bod in the morning an attack would comc on, and I would fall fiat. I never dared to nut my foot to tho ground with, any weight on it. I always had to hobble with the aid of ast ick. I tried all sorts of liniments, and quantities of cajaput oil, but got no relief. In the hospital my hip was blistered and poulticed, but no benefit came. The leg got shorter and more shrunken than tho other, and I never dared strctch it out straight. 1., would think something was gnawing at my flesh. For a long time I could not even bear the weight of the bedclothes on my foot, I went off in flesh and appetite. I was as wretched as any man could be, .Occasionally I went out and just pointed tho best grounds, but I never did any work, My mates and neighbours all know what I have been through. One day a .neighbour camo round and read mo an account of a ship's male being curcd by Dr Williams's Pink Pills, and tho case was so like mine that I sent for a couple of boxes. I actually found some relief from thorn, so I gladly sent for some : more. I noticed the pains decreasing, and all the stiffness and stabbinig getting decidedly less. I could hardly credit it; it seemed too good to bo true, but it is an absolute fact that five boxes drove out every pain and ache. I was afraid that next year it would Tet.urn as usual; but not once has it put .in an appearance." The price is 3s Per box, six boxes 16s 6d, and if you hnvc trouble in getting them send a postal note for the amount, to the Dr Williams Mediein? Co. of Australasia (Ltd.), Wellington, and they will bo sent post free by return mail.
