The caso of Mr Mnrston shows that
sciatica can be cured mitl no one afflicted
by it should allow himself to bo dis
heartened He was first stricken about u
year ago mid for bix mouths ho suffered
pain which ho thinks tho most intense
that any man could possibly stand
Asked about the details of his remark
able recovery Mr Mnrston gavo tho fol
lowing account I was attacked by a
numbness or dull feeling just back of my
right hip I didnt know what tho mat
ter was but thought it was simply a
stiffness that would wear away in a
short time It didnt however and
soon the pain became so very bad that
every step was torture for me When I
finally succeeded in getting home itwns
just as much as I could do to reach my
room and get to bed
The doctor was sent for and when ho
had examined me he haid I had sciatica
He prescribed for me mid advised me not
to try to leave my bod The advice was
unnecessary for I couldnt get out of
bed if I wanted to It was impossible for
me to turn from one sido to the other
The moment I attempted to move any
part of my body the pain became so ex
cruciating thrt I would have to lio per
fectly motionless
I suffered this tortrrefor six months
without getting any relief Then I dis
charged the doctor and on the advice of
a friend I bought a box of Dr Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them tlneo
at a dose three times a day I was de
termined to give them a thorough trial
Two months after I began to use
them I was able to leave my bed and
walk about tho house and a month later
I was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual I think Dr Williams
Pink Pill aro the best medicine I ever
used and I heartily recommend them to
anyono who suffers from sciatica
