' /'About: twelve' years since I got a . bad sciatic pain .in the back ofDiy left hip. lhe pain kept "increasing .as'time went on, and' it. became very,bad in'my. thigh. It :sprec.d-. right down my loft' leg to tho' foot, and-in-course of time I lost'-the' use of my. leg.froin.-tho knee down. The ■Fain-; was . worse .in the middle 'of my ■thigh; -. I had to--give. up my work, on the wharf,on-October. 25/1909, as I could no longer-Stand the.agony. -\lfc was as-if needles/were; being;- 'driven.Hnto" niy leg from .knee down.; and- there ! '.was a gnawing .burning pain in the 'thigh downto my, knee.: My knee; used to swell. I.became so. bad that for'six months X never lay down in bed. 1 had to sit up with my- foot on a stool, and ,tho blaukeis round by. shoulders. I do not believe I ever went to sleep'all that time, simply sat on. tho edge of the bed. I consulted a doctor and lie gave me two bottles of medicine, and told mo if they did not do me. any yood he could not cure me. I tried any quantity of other medioines. Eventually, the doctor told me.; I:,.would .have to;go toßotorua,' as lib could do no more for me. . I did not-go android the doctor I would not, as I had seen 'tho people who had been there, and who became as bad as ever when they 1 returned. - J , read an account, qE a man about niy own age who suffered -as I was, having, been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, so I got six boxes from Irvine and -Stevens, grocers, Dunedin, and commoiced taking them. I,went, a'ccirding to the directions, gradually 'increasing the dose, until I was ■ falsing three pills after each meal. I had been taking the pills about six weeks before I found they were doing mo-any good, but I was determined on giving them a fair trial. I bought a second lot, and by tlie timo.l had taken eight boxes, I' found tlie pain was leaving me/ and I was gradually'getting better, and by (ho timo.l hail taken the el.eventh box I was ablo to lie down in bed and take a good rest. I continued using the pills until I had taken fourteen,.boxes altogether, when I was able to gn'.jabonl again free from all pain..'My neighbours'nil knew of,my crippled state,-" and the -wav Dr.' Williams'.' Pink Pills cured me, ; ami, I ■always recommend them to-anyone .'whom I see suffering froni. -Sciatica.-.oV Rheumatism. , : The, prico ' is' 3s. per box, six boxes lGs. lid., and if you. have trouble in getting them, send a. postal note for tho amount to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington, and they will bo sent, post free, by return mail.
