SETTLER'S PECULIAR DISABLEMENT.

INJURED BY A PICK HANDLE. • • Picking my way from the township of Toongabbie (Vic.) one bright morning through paddocks and over fences (says a reporter of the “Maffra Spectator”) I came in sight of a lithe, active old man busy clearing. Engaging him in conversation he said that notwithstanding his 61 years he was quite capable of doing his work. “But mind you.” said he. “such was not. always the case.” and in response to further inquiries he said: “My name is Charles Henry- Gales, and I have lived in Toongabbie for 31 years. Owing to a blow from a pick handle in 1898 a pain attacked me in the groin. Then came sharp shooting pains, and a continuous ache, which grew worse when I raised my leg or stooped. I found .1 was a victim to ‘sciatica. F<Jur mouths later

my muscles Ivctunr ho contracted and 1 whs in such agony that 1 had to give tip work. A doctor examined me and prescribed, but as I grew no better I wrote to the Dr. Williams Medicine Company. Queen’s Place, Sydney, giv-

ing full particulars of my case, anti asked if Dr. Williams' pink pills would cure me. They kindly gave me all necessary information, and 1 commenced the pills. After taking two boxes I felt relieved. The pains lessened, and I could use my legs more freely. Three boxes completely cured mo, ami 1 was soon back to work clearing’ as vigorously as ever. I purchased six boxes of Dr. Williams’, pink pills, but the other three 1 gave to my brother, and they cured him of a skin disease. My health is perfect now, and 1 regret I did not use Dr. Williams’ pink pill* at first, and so sa>e expense.” Sciatica may be induced by sudden blows, nervous strain, injury to the nerves, or impoverished blood. Outward applications only giv.c temporary relief. Dr. Williams' pink pills purify and enrich the blood, and thus cure very many- eases of sciatica and rheumatism, anaemia, eczema, rickets, erysipelas, consumption. They also cure paralysis, locomotor ataxia. St. Vitus' dance, neuralgia, after effects of influenza ami fevers. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Welling-
