SCIATICJRIPPL£ Richard Grose, Contractor Bed-ridden with Pain ~ Left Leg Paralysed jfour Dootors Gave Him Up - Right as a Bank To-day Dr Williams' Pink Pills. " When -I lell you that they put red-hot bricks on my leg, and raised blisters neaxlj the size of my fist, you will know how desperately the doctors tried to 'cure my Sciatica," said Air Richard Grose, an^ "oldtime storekeeper of Sydenham, Christchirrch, but now a prosperous contractor -living at Cambridge "Villa, Cambridge street, lieederville, I .Perth. r "For ■ seven months I went through torture .that' was - simply hellish. Eor -weeks I' was . bedridden. "Whenever I could get up .I^wasso crippled that I could jusk.-hobbief.'about on a erutohV At- last xayleg Vent desd with the pain. Often I prayed for detffchi ,;The. doctors gave up alf Hope ot-ouring me;. But "when they liad fSfled, t>r ' WiliiamV . Pink- Pills .c.i^edh.me ;witbin-,,a' few -.weeks. That was fjix yee*s ago — and I have never hadvii twinge of Sciatica siaoe." - Ttichaid Grose is a man whose word ne^eds no backing. There is not a straighter '£6e, whole of "Australia. He has -made- jhis^Teimtation as a builder and con.-H'raetor..b.y-hard iwork and fair dealing. 'To thjose ' w'^>, s know him his word is as good as "his hood.' But when Dr Williams' Pink Pills' put hint, on his feet' agam, after he had. "been crippled by Sciatica," Mr Gross was- anxious to put his statement in the strongest-- " form, possible. His testimonial. iher^foVe. was written- in the presence of the Mayor of Leederville, Perth, and bears the/signature of John Veryard. J.P., as •witness.' Mr Grose then went before James Morrison, J.P., of 63 Barrack street, Perth, and took his solemn oath* to the 'way D^r Williams' Pink Pills had cured him. These statements, .were .then laid 'before -.A. -C. M'Oallum, wholesale- coachbuilder, and ironmonger, of 175 Murray "street, Pertlf-'aßd Mr~ M'Gallum made a written ; dffclaratipn. ' that -he knew, of his own personal knowledge, that, the facts as given by Mr Grose were absolutely tvue. No statement was over backed by stronger proof or more honourable testimony. "My blood was in a bad state at the time, but the pain itself came on me like a flash of lightning,"' added Mr Grose. " When I went to tunn out of bad One morning a piercing stab of pain caught me in tiie left -hip. and made me yell. Another t move, and the pain ripped ri^htr-jdown "my leg from hip to heel, just as if my flesh had been torn open with a red-iqt knife. • For weeks I njever moved from my bed. Four doctors said it- was the worst' ea c -s* of' Sciatica they ever knew. "No man will ever know what I -suffered," Mr ,Grose went on. "My son Bert, and my son-in-law John Littlejohn,- sat with me night after night, taking watch in turn. They heated bricks till they were red-hot, and then laid these on my leg — one at the thigh, one at the- knee, and one at' my ankle. They had to use, firo tongs to handle them, but there was so much pain in my legs already that I could not feel them. Nothing did me the^ least real good. My good wife tended me hand and foojt, and - made me try almost anything that people recommended. She rubbed me with wliisjky ajid gin and mustard, and made me poultices of marshmallow and poppy-heads. But the doctors were not through torturing me yet. They picked out the s,pots where the nerves were inflamed, and raised great blisters there to draw the pain out. But the pain stayed - behind as bad as ever. The agony never r stopped until it had worn out every nerve . in my log. It left it absolutely dead— as cold as .ice. literally paralysed .with pain. - The veins were swollen and knoltetlf and' ! formed into little lumps as round and hard as peas. I felt - 1 was crippled for life. Mary. I said to my wife, I wish the^Lord would take me. r " When I left bed, I was a miserable wreck— thin, pale, and weak, with shrimken cheeks and great lines of suffering in my face. I was only able to stagger about, on a crutch and a stick. Every hundred varrls I had to rest. I could not go from William street to Barrack street without sitting down on the curb stone at least five times. My left .foot trailed^ behind me useless. I won? through the side of my ' hoot dragging this paralysed lejr after me. Hundreds of best known people here in Perth whom I used to meet in the street can tell yon what a crinDlod wreck I was. "Then" I read how Williams, the champion club swincer. had been cured of Sciatica- by Dr Williams' Pink Pills.' His case was exactly like my own. Whatever cured him would cure me— so I got a supply of Dr Williams' Pink Pills from Foy and Gibson. Th<> first box made me eat like a horse— but I could not. notice that it did my Sciatica any good. I made up my mind to fihe them a fair trial, however — and soon the naini eased up a little. From, that time on I went straight ahead withoui a stop. I soon began to fool the new blood in my dead leer. It got back new power cverv day. My nerves grow strong and steady, and I slept like a top. At last I stood completely cured— as strong and active as any man of my years. I am now busy every day looking after contracts. In fact. I owe my life to Dr Williams' Pink Pills." Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cured Mr Grose because they went right down to the root of his trouble in the blood. They actually stake new blood — just that, nothing more. They don't act on the bowels. They don't tinker with mere- symptoms. They won't cure an? disease that isn't caused by bad blood. Bufc then bad blood is the_ cause of all common diseases, like anaemia, headaches, indigestion, bad liver, nervousness, neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, lumbago,, backache, kidney trouble, and the special secret ailments of growing girls and women whose health plainly depends upon the richness and regularity of their blood-supply. Dr Williams' Pink Pills have a marvellous power to cure all these ailments. But get the genuine pills. Substitutes never cured anybody.
