YEARS OF MISERY WITH ST. VITUS'.

Six Months in Hospital Failed to Cure. -- ' 0 Nerves and Muscles Always Twitching—A Remarkable Cure, by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

•' A prolonged and sever© attack, of St. Vitus' Dance, lasting a number of years, and which resisted all medical treatment, was finally cured by Dr. Pink Pills. The sufferer wns Miss Hilda Farrer, of 38 Dover Stfeet, Richmond, Melbourne. St. Vitus' Dance is another nervous disease, in which Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have proved of great value. They supply the system with new Wood, vrhich feeds the starved, out-of-tone nerves, and when the neTves are restored- the complaint disappears. Miss'Farrer gave tho following account of her, illness to a reporter:— "I got a fright when -a child and I ndver got over it. Tho trembling set in! and I suffered for years only Retting worse and worse all the time. There wasn't a muscle or nerve that wasn't always on the go. Jly head would move and tho eyebrows and mouth twitched convulsively. 'I simply could not hold anything in my hands. For a long time I li!ul to be f6d likft a Child. I had to stop away from school, for I got so excited and irritable. For weeks at a time I 1 could, not dress myself or button anything. 'As I grew up I was little use in the house, for X could hardly be trusted to do anything. Once I burned mil my sleeve trying to light the fire. If I went to pick up anything I ■ nearly always knocked something' over. I "would jump and start and tremble like a leaf at the least noise, and break into' tears at n, chance hasty word. If f went for a walk Iny feet would-twist all ways, and I was always grimacing. People would pity me. My rase could'not have been worse. I was just.a bundle of nerves and every one of them askew. At last I was driven into town, we were living in the country then, and put in the hospital for more than six months; though.l had every attention I had to leave as incurable. In tho hospital I was put in a cot ami even then sometimes strapped' down for I rolled out of'an ordinary bed. One loff dragged after', me . when I' walked and of ten, people could hot make out what I .ttta saying.-■ 1 would -stammer aiid then stop find then words came jumbling in a rush. I u'ent on tlii4 way for years. Sometimes for a few weeks the attacks lessened, but never for any more than, three weeks at It tim£, ami then it was the same all over again. It was a fortuncita day for me when I tried Dr. Williams' .Pink Pilk Prom the first-'box I begs it to be built up, and with three, bojfes it'was clear to everyone that my lietVea were getting stronger, for I lie ttfitehlng, li'as' mtieh le,«, and I could get some, positive control (Aer Hie muscles, besides 1 felt brighter and stronger. The next tlirc: 1 boxes quite cured me. The complaint disappeared out of my system and lias never returned." lII'.
