A CASE OF SCIATIC RHEUMATISM: PATIENT BENT NEARLY DOUBLE WITH PAINS IN BACK AND SIDE: The following case was brought to our notice by the Plymouth Co-operative Drug Company, of Cornwall Street in that town. The manager, in referring to it as an exceptionally creditable cure by Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills remarks that Mr. Pinsent is well known in Plymouth; and has told many about his cure. The following is the letter: — 31 Morley Place, Plymouth, 22nd January. 1902. “Dear Sir, — l am anxious that you should know what a wonderful cure your Dean’s Backache Kidney Pills have worked in my case. I suffered from sciatica for years and had almost given up hope of ever getting better. I was bent nearly double with the pains in my side and back and I could not walk many yards without resting. I had tried other medicines before I used yours, but not one bit of good did they do me. But I received very quick relief from Doan’s Pills. Altogether I have used 13 boxes of your medicine, and now I am well; the sciatica is quite gone, and I can walk splendidly. Seven of my friends are now using your pills, because they have been convinced of the medicine’s merits, by my cure. I believe in speaking as I find of a medicine, and I can honestly say that Doan’s Pills may be relied upon for kidney troubles. If you care to make use of my statement; you may do so with pleasure. I am well known in Plymouth, having lived in the same house for the past 26 years. Believe me, dear sirs, yours faithfully, S. PINSENT. On receipt of these particulars, we sent our representative some months later to see Mr. Pinsent, who then said: —There has been no recurrence of the sciatica since Domes Backache Kidney Pills cured me. It is splendid to be able to get about so well as I can now after being unable to walk for years. Although I have been taking long walks lately, I feel quite fresh after them. My health is grand to-day, better than it has been for years.” If you are ill, write and fully describe your case to us. We shall be pleased to give you the best advice in our power, free of charge. You can depend upon your letter being treated in strictest confidence. Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence (six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence). Of all chemists and stores, or post free, on receipt of price direct from Foster-McClellan Co., 8, Wells Street, Oxford Street, London, W.
