NEURALGIA AND POOR BLOOD.

There are very f'eiv oases of neuralgia that are not caused by a thin run-down condition of the blood. Almost the first thing the doctor looks for in neuralgic patients is the anaemic 'appearance. There are two things to do for any form of neuralgia. Apply heat to the affected part to soothe the pain, and feed the nerves by taking a tonic containing the elements needed by them. Heat as afforded by hot flannel, hotwater bags, etc.; lulls the inflamed nerves into temporary quiet. It does not cure. Not until the nutrition of the nerves is restored will the inflammation subside and the neuralgic state be remedied. Never under any circumstances should drugs to deaden the pain be used. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills furnish to the blood tie needed elements and the blood conveys them to the nerves. The only way of getting food or medicine to the nerves is through iho blood. Hemember that. Neuralgia is a general term. It means inflammation of a nerve. It is given different names according to the nerve affocted. . Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve. Applications of heat will soothe the pnin in all forms of neuralgia, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will correct the condition that causes it. If you have neuralgia you can send to your dealer nt once for a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. A useful booklet on "Diseases of tho Nervous System" will bo sent free to any address by 'tho Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Box 815, G.P.0., Wellington.
