SHOOTING SCIATICA.

Tortured by sharp, hot pains in Hip and Legs.

This man crippled till he had to give up athletics. Tells how he was cured.

11l tlxc case of Mr Arthur J. Grice, a prominent Tasmanian athlete, living at Duffield Street, Queenstown, he was compelled .to abandon football and sport by recurring 'attacks of Sciatica. After long suffering Mr ( Grice was completely cured by Dr. William's Pink Pills. As Sciatica like Neuralgia, is a disorder of Itho nerves, the direct treament to cure the cause aims at restoring the nerves to their proper state of tone. Hot applilik© Neuralgit, is a disorder of the nevPink Pills make new blood and tone the nerves, ithey have achieved great •success in curing Sciatica, and Mr Grice's case is a striking instance, He said: — "Up to the age of twenty-three I was always istrong 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 Ihip, extending to the right knee. I consulted several doctors, who prescribed for me isome medicine to take; some blistering me and giving me lotions. The blistering was so sev- . ere that it took all the skin off my hip to the knee. The pain at itimes was well nigh unbearable. It was very dharp, like needles being pushed into the flesh. I used to be worse at night, especially if I got wet, or had been working in watter. The sciatic nerve wo® very .tender to the touch. The attack oised to viary, sometimes lasting for a week or more, and at other times for a day or (two. It was always a burning pain; walking would irritate it. The muscles wasted away. I 'had been in Uhis state for about ten years, 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 liked. Eventually a fellow workman, who had been cured of Sciatica after being for three weeks, advised me to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial, as they had cured him. I got a box, and benefitted so much from their use that I kept on with them, and by the time I had .taken four boxes I felt completely cured. That is nearly two years since, land I am happy to say I liave never had a twinge or any sign of the complaint since, and I 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, a? I have known several who have benefitted by their use."
