SCIATIC TORTURE

A Locomotive Engineer Tells Hov» He Was Cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Pain that seems almost unbearable Is a characteristic of sciatic rheumatism. In some cases the pain la knife-like, sharp or shooting; in others it is dull and aching. Sciatica, is stubborn In resisting treatment and the patient frequently suffers for years. —This was the case with Mr. Herbert E. Spaulding, a locomotive engineer on the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific Railway, whose home is at Longview, Texas. “While running an engine some years ago," he says.’T fell off and hurt my knee and spine and I have always considered this to be the cause of my illness. The sciatica took hold of me from my heel to the back of my head. ,The pain was the worst I ever suffered in my life and my leg and back were twisted out of shape. I was under a physician’s care for several months and for six months could not get out of bed. I also went to Hot Springs but came back in ■ worse condition than w’hen I went. “It was when I was down in bed that I heard of the» case of a Mr. Allison, a much older man than myself, who had been cured of sciatica by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I began taking the pills- and soon was able to get out of bed. When I had taken six boxes I was able to work about the house and yard. I kept right on with the pills until I was cured and I have never had any return of the trouble. I have been running an engine ever since.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.
