SCIATIC TORTURE

PAIN SUFFERED BY MR. MARSTON AS GREAT AS MORTAL OAN STAND. For Six Months He Could Not Turn !■ Bed—He Tells of a Remedy Which Has Given Perfect Belief. The case of Mr. Marston shows that sciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted by it should allow himself to be disheartened. He was first stricken about a year ago, and for six months he suffered pain which he thinks the most intense that any man could possibly stand. Asked about the details of his remarkable recovery, Mr. Marston gave the following account: “ I was attacked by a numbness or dull feeling just back of my right hip. I didn’t know what the matter was, but thought it was simply a stiffness that would wear away in a short time. It didn’t, however, and soon the pain, became so very bad that every step was torture for me. When I finally succeeded in gettinghome, itwas just as much as I could do to reach my room and get to l>ed. “The doctor was sent for, and when he had examined me he said I had sciatica. He prescribed for me, and advised me not to try to leave my bed. The advice was unnecessary for I couldn’t get out of bed if I wanted to. It was impossible for me to turn from one side to the other. The moment I attempted to move any part of my body, the pain became so excruciating that I would have to lie perfectly motionless. “ I suffered this torture for six months without getting any relief. Then I discharged the doctor, and on the advice of a friend I bought a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills aud began to take them, three at a dose, three times a day. I was determined to give them a thorough trial. “Two mouths after I began to use them I was able to leave my bed and walk about the house, and a month later I was entirely cured and able to go about my work as usual. I think Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are the best medicine I ever used, aud I heartily recommend them to anyone who suffers from sciatica.” Mr. Marston is a prosperous farmer and may be reached by mail addressed to Charles P. Marston, Hampton P. 0., New Hampshire. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have cured other painful nervous disorders, such as neuralgia, partial paralysis and Ibcomotor ataxia. They are sold by all druggists.
