NEURALGIA AND POOR BLOOD

There are very, few cases of neuralgia that are not caused by a thin run down condition of the blood. Almost the first thing the doctor looks for in neuralgia patients is the anaemic appearance. There are two things, to do . for any form of neuralgia. Apply 'heat to the affected • part to soothe tho pain, and feed the nerves by taking a tonic containing the elements needed by them. Heat as afforded by hot flannel, hot water bags, etc., lulls the inflamed nerves into temporary quiet. It does not cure. Not until tho nutrition of the nerves is restored will tho'inflammation subside and the neuralgic state be Temedied. Never under any circumstances should drugs to deaden the pain be used. Dr. Pink Pills furnish to the blood the needed elements and'the blood conveys them to the neryes. The only way of getting food or medicine to the nerves-is through the blood. Remember, that. ' , . , Neuralgia is a general term. It means inflammation of a nerve. It is given different names according to the nerve affected. Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve. Applications of heat will sootho the pain in all forma of neuralgia, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will correct the condition that' causes it. If you have neuralgia you can send to your dealer at once for a box of Dr. .Williams' Pink Pills. A useful booklet 'on "Diseases of the • Nervous -System" will'be sent free to any address by the Medicine Co., Wellington.
