NEURALGIA AND POOR BLOOD.

There are ver\ few cases of neuralgiathat are not caused by a thin ran down ■condition of the blood.' Almost the first thing the doctor looks for in neuralgia patients is the anaemic appearance.

There ar e 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 by 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 wi-l the inflammation subside and the neuralgic state be remedied. Never under any circumstances should drugs to deaden the pain be used.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills furnish to the 'olood the needed elements and the blood conveys tliem to the- nerves. The onlv way of getting food or medicine to the"nervPs is through the blood. Remember that.

Neuralgia is a ' general term. Itmeans inflammation of a nerve. It is given different names' according to the 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 the condition that causes it..
