NEURALGIA Ai POOR BLOOD.

Tliei’e are very few cases of neuralgia that are not caused by a thin run-down condition of the blood. Almost the first thing the doctor looks for in neuralgic patients is the anaemic appearance. There are two things to do for any form of neuralgia. Apply heat to the affected part to soothe the pain, and feed the nerves by taking a tonic containing the elements needed bv them. Heat, as afforded by hot flannel, hot water bags, etc., lulls "the inflamed nerves into temporary quiet. It does not cure. Not until the nutrition of the nerves is restored will the inflammation subside and the neural* o-ic state be remedied. Never under any circumstances should drugs to deaden the pain be used. Dr Williams’ Pink Pills furnish to the blood the needed elements and the blood conveys them to the nerves. The only way of getting food or medicine to tho nerves is through the blood. Remember that. Neuralgia is a general term, it means inflammation of a nerve. It is given different names according to tho nerve affected. Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve. Applications of heat will soothe the pain in all forms of neuralgia and Dr Williams’ Pink Pills will correct tire condition that causes it. If you have neuralgia you can send to your dealer at once for a box of Dr Williams’ Pink Pills. A useful booklet on “ Diseases of the Nervous System ” will be sgnt free to any address by the Dr Williams’ Medicine Co., Wellingto%
