SICKEN MTU SI, IIIIJS DIK ■' .——«►— —■ School Girl Fed and Attended to Like a Baby, How She Recovered. — -0 ; Tho. school teacher was the first to notice that Josephine Mortola was do vcloping St. Vitus's Dance.' Her hands useil to twitch at writing lessons and soon the teacher had to tell her that she had better stay away from school. Then followed months of terrible agony and suspense to her parents. Nothing_ seemed to relievo tho complaint Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were tried and they speedily wrought a marvellous cure. l)r. Williams' Pink Pills are Tecommended for St. Vitus' Dance because the complaint is a nervous one and through their blond-making qualities they supply tho nerves with nourishment. The con-: dition of the nerves of course depends on the state of the blood. Miss Mortola is now a strong, healthy girl, living witb her parents, Hallam Street, Tennyson, Port Pirie. She made the following statement to a reporter:— "I was going to school when I got St. Vitus's Dance. The twitching was confined to my hands and feet, but they were always in motion. I could not control them. My mother would have to get up perhaps two or three times in the night and make my bed, as the clothes would be twitched off on to the floor. I could not lift a cup of tea without spilling it. When, I lifted my. hands they would go in any direction but the right one, and mother had often .to feed me. I had great trouble in dressing myself. _ I was advised to' get as much fresh air as I could, but I wouldn't go into town, I would think that everyone was looking at my hands, they jerked so violently; I actually bit my -tongue right through once, and it was sore for weeks. Mj appetite fell away; I would fancy something and as soon as I would get it I would turn away and wouldn't touch it. My feet didn't troublo me when walking, but if I was sitting I couldn't keep them still. My head always seemed to be achijig and I was so low-spirited I never cared what happened. If I took up a book I simply couldn't hold it ; steady enough to read the lines. I wasn t able to help about the house, and only wanted, to rest. Everything or every noise got on my nerves. Tho tonics I took did me no good, and X began to fall away in every respect. If I sat for long I d bo tired, and if I stood it was just the same till I tried Dr. Williams' Kink Pills. Mr. Sylvia had been cured or Sciatica by them and advised their use. Six boxes practically cured me, and toned my nerves up completely. My ever since has been of the best. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are 3s. a box, six boxes' Mis. Gd., of all dealers, or from tho Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. of Ails' tralasia. Ltd., Wellington.—Advt.
