MRS S. E. TODD, GISBORJS'E, GIVEN UP BY THREE DOCTORS. OVER TWELVE MONTHS on CRUTCHES. NOW ACTIVE AS A SCHOOLGIRL. DJft WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. " Three doctors treated my Sciatica for months — and then toid me that I -would be a cripple for life, 1 ' said Mis S. E. Todd, who is 10-day an active business woman, wellknown by her bakery in Gladstone Road, Gisborne. " I never hoped to waik another step without my crutches. My life was a burden to me and everyone about me. Yet JJr Williams' Pink Pills set me on my legs again, as strong and healthy as any woman could wish to be. They raised me from a cripple's bed, after three c{ever doctors had given me up. It is no wonder that I never grow tired of praising Dr Williams' Pink Pills. "■A sharp burning pain shot like a, flash, through my thigh one whiter evening. That wa» my first taste of Sciatica," Ea,id Mrs Todd. " JS'ext morning one leg wa3 so stiff that I had to be lifted out of bed. My muscles were all pulled "tight. I was laid up nearly two months, and suffered more than I -thought I couid live through. If I moved my leg; a hot burning pain flashed along my nerves and' muscles. The pain of moving me from the bed to ihe lounge made- me scream. At my best, I could only ait behind the counter of my shop, or limp about on crutches. The doctors said that I had chronic Sciatica, and would be a cripple for life. '' I had been crippled like' this for a year before Mas Kite, of Palmerston North, told me how Williams' Pink Pills had cured others just as bad. After what the doctors said, I would not believe that I could be cured by swallowing pills. But Mr 3 Kite explained that Dr Williams' Pink Pills actually made new blood. 'New Blood,' she said, is a better medicine than all- the" drugs in the colony.' At, last, to please niy friend, I promised to -try Dr Williams' Pink Pills. "It was not a case of faith cure, added Mrs Todd, "for I had no faith in them. I felt it was so foolish -to waste money on any more medicine that I never let Mr Todd know I was taking Dr Willkma' Pink Pills. The- ftr&b thing I noticed was ' that I got a wonderful appetite, and slept well at night. My nerves grew steadier, and I 'felt better in every way. Soon my muscles loosened, and L moved about 'without much pain. After the third box every one' that came into the shop told me how much better I looked. I could feel the new blood. racing through my veins, and gradually driving out the disease. " One 'Sunday morning, I surprised my husband by walking round, the table without my crutches. I was as proud as a peacock, and 'Mar Todd could hardly believe his eyes. In my delight,. I let the oat out of the bag. I owned up that I had ,been daking Dr Williams' Pink Pills foT nearly seven' weeks. * Well,' he said, ' they've done more for you in seven weeks than .all the doctors could have done in seven years. 1 ' After that I grew stronger every day. A few more boxes cured me completely. I threw my crutches aside for good, and have had grand 'health ever since. Even in 1 the worst winter weather, I never have a twinge of Scia>iica now."
