TH SCIATICA
AGONY«
Christchurch Man Crippled and Helpless.
In Pain the Whole Time —He relates how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cured his Trouble.
In the district of Ashbourne street, Chnstchurch, neighbours speak of how Mr A. H. Hopkinson, of No. 58, was • remarkably cured of crippling Sciatica by Dk Pink Pills. Mr Hopkinson suffered so much" pain, and was pulled down in health so greatly, that, as he says, he looked an old man of 80. Mr Hopkinson, who is a strong, active man, readily gave a reporter particulars of his cure for the benefit of other sufferers. He said:
" I had a very bad attack of Sciatica about 15 years ago. but got bqtter, and enjoyed good health until the beginning of March, 1912. Then my trouble returned. I had terrible pains snooting down my hips. The pains seemed just as if someone was putting red-hot needles into my muscles. The agony was unbearable. I often had to clutch the nearest object to prevent myself from falling. I think I must have suffered about a month or six weeks before I called in a doctor. During this time I was trying almost everything passible in the way of medicine, but I received not the slightest benefit. Woli, the doctor visited .me for some considerable time, but could do nothing for me. On his last visit I was so bad that he injected morphia; the result was I nearly fainted at lunch. At this time I looked just like an old man of 80 year 3 of age, and every movement was agony. My wife had a terrible job with me, as I could not get about by myself. My, daughter was married about this time, and I could not attend. I was compelled to 6tay at home. I felt myself getting worse every day. I could not sleep at night, but would sit up in bed rubbing my leg. All. this worry and pain began to tell on me; I got lowspirited and depressed. I felt sick of all medicines, but a friend of mine, Mr M'Lochlan, is a groat believer in Dr Williams' Pink Pills, and he persuaded mo to give them a good trial. I must have taken about four boxes before I felt any benefit, but I persevered, and gradually the pains lessened! I began to pick up again and look more like my old self. This was after a month's treatment. Continuing the treatment, I became a new man. I always get my full night's rest, and am never troubled with those terrible sickening pains. My wife is very thankful. I shall always recommend them to anyone I hear of suffering as I suffered."

MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM Completely Cured by DR. SHELDON'S MAGNETIC LINIMENT
" For some considerable time," writes Mr. McKay, 13 Grey Street, Ashburton, N.Z., " I had been suffering from muscular rheumatism, especially in the shoulders, which caused me untold agonies night and day. I got very little sleep or rest on account of the violent pains that were continually racking my body, and as I am compelled to work for my living, it was affecting me physically and mentally, making life very hard indeed. I tried many remedies, but till I used Dr. Sheldon's Magnetic Liniment I obtained no relief. From the first application I noticed the difference. I could hardly believe it, and by continuing to use the same I am now pleased to say I am perfectly cured and am confident that should it come back I know I have a faithful friend in Dr. Sheldon's Magnetic Liniment."
