STRICKEN Bf SCIATICA.

Well Known Athlete who had to Give up Sport, Suffered off and on for ten years-" Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, 4 A few years ago there, were .few better known athletes in Tasmania than Mr. Arthur J. Grico, of Driffield Street, Queenstown, whose performances on the cinder track, and football field won for him a place in the front rank. After a time, however, Mr. Gvice disappeared from active competition, and it was learned that this was due to recurring attacks of Sciatica. After suffering off and on for a number of years, Mr. Grico is hearty and strong again, and ho tlia'nks Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for completely, curing his Sciatica. Ho said:—

"Up to the age of 23 years .I was always strong and'healthy and a well-known athlete. From that time forward I was compelled to give up all sport, such as running, football, etc., owing to repeated attacks of Sciatica in the right hip, and extending to the right knee. 1 consulted several doctors, who prescribed for me some medicine to take, others blistering me, and giving me lotions. The blistering was so severe that it took all tho skin off my hip to my knee. The pain at times was well nigh unbearable. It was very sharp, like needles being pushed.into the flesh. It used to be worse at night, especially if I got wet or had been working in water. Tho Sciatica nervo was very tender to the touch. The attack used to vary, sometimes lasting for a week or more, and at other times for a day or so. It was always a burning pain;' walking would irritate it. The muscles wasted away. I had been in this state for about ten year?, and whenever it came on I used to consult the doctors,- but without receiving permanent relief, and had come to the conclusion that it would come and go whenever it iiked. Eventually a fellow-workman, who had been cured of Sciatica after being, bedridden for three weeks, advised me to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial, as they had cured liini. I .got a box. and benefited so much from their use I kept on with them, a'nd by the time I had' taken four boxes I felt completely cured. That is nearly two years since, and I am liapnv to say I have never had a twinge or any sign of the complaint since, and T can conscientiously recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to anyone suffering as I did, or for any other complaint arising from a disorder of the blood, as 1 have known .several who have benefited by their'iise."
