A WAGGONER’S COLLAPSE.
Mr Robert Clucaa, a waggoner, pur* sues his daily toil in Oxford, Canterbury. A local paper states he is now about fifty, and hale, hearty, and vigorous; but he said : — “During my trips I have frequently had to ‘put my shoulder to the wheel.* I have often been delayed by heavy roads and bad weather, sometimes getting wet through, with the result that some years ago rheumatism aud sciatica attacked me. There was a continual gnawing ache in my legs, arms and shoulders, while the sharp, shooting pains of sciatica ran through my thigh. Although I tried many kinds of treatment the disease grew . worse, and for six months I was so crippled that I had to give up work, and could only walk by using both a crutch and a stick. For over a week at a time I had no sleep, owing to the continual pain; consequently I became very thin and despondent. After trying several patent medicines without success, I was induced to use Dr. Williams’ pink pills for pale people, having read of many similar eases which had been cured by them. The contents of one box improved me considerably and as I continued taking these pills, the pains of sciatica and rheumatism gradually lessened until they abated altogether. My appetite returned and I was able to sleep well. Now I have the full use of my limbs and faculties and follow my occupation without trouble. Indeed, I am more healthy and active than Ihave been for many years.” The experience of Mr Clucas shows Dr. Williams’ pink pills are both a blood builder and nerve tonic for they cured him of rheumatism (a disease caused by impure blood), and sciatica (a nerve disorder). For the same reason they cure neuralgia, St. Vitus’ dance, hysteria, kidney troubles, dysentery, skin diseases, ladies’ ailment, etc.; sold by chemists and storekeepers and the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes for sixteen and six, post free; but be sure to get Dr. Williams’ pink pills for pale people. This medicine frequently effects a cure even when medical treatment has failed.
