cation we were lost in he bush for fiv days, and had to cat our pack horses." " I supposo the exposure (old on yon ?' " I', did, indeed," said Mr Walker. "Ii facl it resulted, some years ago, in a sever altnck of sciatca. Intense gnawing pain: wgi'3 felt at the back of thigh and leg. Ot tho outside the knee was tender, and th< mu".ele9 of the leg and thigh wasted away Tho hot springs were tried, but withou any permanent effect. At last the mnsc'cs of one leg became so contracted that mj knee was drawn up to my ear. Th.- agonj was intense, and often I would lie awake al night vainly endeavouring to res*. Ultimately I had to bo taken in a cab to the hospital. But when I came out of the i hospital my knee was still drawn to my ear, and the pain I suffered wai excruciating. On the recommendation of a 'ady visitor, who said her husband had saff. red similarly and had been cured by Dr Williams? pink pills, I commenced using them. Before I had taken a box and a half I got my leg half way down, and could get about with a stick. Soon I was able to dispense with the stick and do light work, as my leg vai in its right position again. I have not since been troubled with sciatica: All pain has gone, the muscles of my limbs are supple and pliable, and I can now, thanks to Dr Williams' pink pills, actively carry on my business as a fishmonger." Dr Williams' pink pills cure sciatica because it is caused by a nerve derangement, and Dr Williams' pink pills act directly on the nerves ; they are also a blood-builder, and for these reasons cure rheumatism, neuralgia, bronchitis, consumption, St VituV dance, pale and sallow compl xions, anaemia, irregularities, dyspepsia, vital losses, insomnia, etc. Pills Bod loose or in glass bottles, although they era pink, are not Dr Williams' pink pills : these are obtainable only in boxes bearing the full name— Dr Williams' pink pills for pa'e people — in red ink on white outside wrapper. Dr Williams' pink pills are sold by Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, and by all Chemists and storekeepers, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and sixpence — But mind you ask for Dr Williams'.
