What To Do For Sciatica

Sciatica is in the same class as neuralgia—both are disorders of the nerves. -Medical writers refer to sciatica as ■“Neuralgia of the Sciatic Nerve.” The complaint is characterised by swift darting pains that begin at tho hips and go down, the leg. Sufferers say these pains are like hot needles in tender flesh. Sometimes they so fierce that the medical man prescribes opiates to ease the pain. Applications of heat may be used to get temporary relief. Not until the nutrition of the nerves is restored, however, will the inflammation subside. As the nerves derive their nourishment from tho blood, the value of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in this complaint is apparent. They make tho good now blood the nerves need to keep them in tone. This is not a matter of theory; a host of sufferers from sciatica have derived benefit from their use. Under the influence of theso pills the blood supply is increased, tho nerves are soothed and become normal in condition, and the extreme pain becomes less and finally stops. If you arc a sufferer you can get these pills at your aesureet dealer’s.
