CAUSE AND CURE. OF SCIATICA.

A Seymour Man’s Experience of Var'ou? Treatments. o Because Sciatica is a disease of the ScL atic nerve, It has been found that the bestj tieatment is one that tends to put the whola nervous system in a strong healthy condi-» tion. Blisters and injections are sometimes used to ease the sharp shooting lightning! pains in the hips and legs, but this treat-* inent is not regarded i« any sense as it cure. A cure can only be obtained by look*’ ing to the cause of the complaint and rc-» storing the nerves to their proper state o£ tone. In addition to the tonic treatment,, resting the limbs in bed or on a couch as much as possible helps in a cure. Mr WTlliam Patterson, of Emily-st., Sey-t mour, Victoria, had a bad attack of Sciatica,aud declares that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured him and nothing else. This is be-* cause they are a blood builder and nerve, tonic, the new blood they make nourishing the irritated inflamed nerve, thus com-* pletely removing the cause of the com-* plaint and making a permanent cure. “Some time back I was employed fenc« ing at a place called Glenoura, about eighteen miles from Seymour,” said Mr Pat« terson to a reporter, “when I was suddenly attacked by sciatica. It was so bad I had to get another man to take my place. In about a week I was unable to walk about. The pain increased in severity and used to keep moving right up to my hip. About three on four in the morning it used to get very bad. The Sciatic nerve in iny left leg got very tender to the touch. At times I could not move my leg. The pain in the back 015 the thigh was fearful. It was as if red hot needles were being pushed, into my siuews-i I consulted the doctor and he said I was suffering from a very bad attack of Sci-» atica. 1 tried liniments but they did mo no good. I was in a very bad state, unablo to walk or work, when my brother Henry told me of someone that he knew who: had suffered something like myself being cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I wasl only too glad to try anything that was| likely to give me ease from my sufferings.: The first box didn’t seem to do me mucli' good, but I continued their use until I bad used about six boxes, and then I was able to go to work again, and have had nd relapse since. My occupation is such that? if the pills had not completely cured niG I am sure I would have bad a rekipse.” When you want Dr. Williams’ rink Pillst don’t be put off with anything else said to be just as good. If you have trouble la getting them, send direct to the Div Williams* Medicine Co. of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington, who will send them by return, post free, 3/ for one box, six boxes* 16/0.
