Herewith we publish a severe case of L St. Vitus' Dance that was cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills—that of Winifred Curti?V 'daughter of < Mrs. M. Curtin, 341 James -Street, Kingsholme.

'IWinifred ' got a fright through a tram , -passing too close to her, and then St. Vitus'' v . .J Daiice started,"-said Mrs. Curtin. "She got; ' very nervous and very irritable. She wasted . J away to a skeleton. You could hardly take ; hold of her: she was just a bag of bones. She was quite bloodless, nothing but water would ' ■ come if sho cut herself.' She got worse every ' day and could not go to school. She lost tho power of her legs for years. She had to bo' , fed with ai spoon, dressed and cared for' like ' a baby, ; Every muscle twitched and quivered ]: and her eyes would roll in -her head. She ' " was three months in tho hospital and had tho v : .best medical advice and attention, hut she :. 1 was only getting worse. The least start 6110 and tho twitching would start. ; She ■rf . couldn'twalk from room to-room withoutI {ailing. - ; Her oyes would be blinking always, " - and very soro and painful. When we took.. . | her from tho hospital- sho was carried out 1 \ ■ and driven home in a cab. For tho next; ■ cloven months she used neither hands' nor i; feet. The'feet swelled up and tho : big _toes 1 gave her agonising pain. She used to lio in v ■ an easy chair on the front verandah, and .had [ to be helped in every way. ■. Then a friend' from Sydney advised mo to give her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills; which I did. With the ' second, box I noticed her hands were not so ' tightly clenched, and we wero simply over- ' joyed. As sho went on with the course the ■ ■'!- twitehings grew less, and she showed an inclination to reat. Every box found her a ' -little:better.' We kept on with them, and the. ; I power and strength came back to her legs, and she could walk without stumbling. sently sho bet];an to put a little flesh on her , v bones; and she got some colour in her face., lii a little while sho could help and do littlo .' " things for herself. It was a load and a strain off our mindß. She got bright and cheerful; and presently was getting about as well as " anyone. She could sloop well, and her nerves, . « got strong and hor blood rich. Sho is curcd now, and goes to work every day.' Remember, Dr: Williams link P'Hs ar« for any complaint that a good supply of rich ' red blood will euro, but you must have the • genuine kind.
