NEURALGIA

People think of neuralgia as a pain in the head or face, but neuralgia may affect any nerve of the body. Different names are given to it when it affects certain nerves. Thus neuralgia of the sciatic nerve is called sciatica but the character of the pain and the nature of the disease is the same, the cause is the same and the remedy to be effective, must be the same. The pain of neuralgia is caused by starved nerves. The blood, which normally carries nourishment to the nerves, for some reaeon no longer does so and the pain that you feel is the cry of the nerves for food. The reason why the blood fails to properly nourish the nerves is often because the blood itself is weak and thin. Anaemia, or thin blood, is the most common cause of neuralgia. Build up the thin blood with Dr Williams’ Pink Pills and you are attacking neuralgia at its root. These tonic pills abo have a peculiar and direct action on ths nerves so that they are probably the very best possible remedy for the treatment of neuralgia.
