GIRL HELPLESS WITH ST. VITUS' - Had to be >Fed and Dressed like an Infant. 0— Mother recounts her Astonishing'' Cure by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. For over six months her daughter Margaret'was a constant care to Mrs. Caroline Browne, of "Minnieville," John Street, Wavcrloy, Sydney. The girl had developed St. Vitus' Dance in a most aggravated form, and although she was fifteen, had to be fed, washed and dressed like an infant. She was under doctor's care for six weeks, but did not recover. Finally Mrs. Browne began to give her daughter Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and they completely cured her. Mrs. Browne is anxious that other mothers who may have suffering children should know of the cure, and has permitted the details being made PU St.' 6 Vitus' Dance is a distressing nervous disease, and like Neuralgia and Sciatica, can only be cured through the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain the elements which enable the blood to nourish the nerves until they become strong. Mrs. Browne said:— "After having an attack of St. Vitus Dance when she was twelvo, my daughter Margaret always gave the impression that the complaint was still in her system, and at fifteen years of age it returned. Owing to a sudden , fright, in the house the. twitching started quite suddenly and soon she was as bad as ever, and became utterly helpless. She was waited on hand and foot. I hjid to feed and ; dress and even wash her. Her clothes would be so torn with the convulsive movements through every part of her body. It started first in the right arm and the Tight side was always tho worst. Her head would twist and her eyebrows and mouth were never still. Her tongue swelled in her mouth and her speech got so jumbled and indistinct you could barely make out a w,ord. Once she was asleep she was quiet enough, but as soon as she woke the bedclothes would go in all directions. She could not eat a solid meal, it was mostly light dishes. Meat would choke her unless chopped very fine. I sat by her at meal'times just to iift lier cup of tea for her. Sho never stirred out of the house- except when I took her up to the doctor. I was on the alert all the time to see she came, to no harm in the house or out of it. Her lips were-quite blanched and sho was so thin and poorly. Headaches were a trouble, too. I was in a dreadful worry over her for her state could hardly have been worse and I was at my wits' end. Somehow I /always had a belief in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills so I bought a couple of boxes for a trial, giving her three pills a day at first and gradually increasing the dose. While sho was on the second box one day at tea time she took hold of her cup by herself and lifted it to her lips, mucli to our surprise. We kept on steadily with tho pills and little by little she improved. The twitching of every muscle got less marked, and when ■ sho walked she could put her feet down firmly and in the proper place. Tho -pallid look disappeared and you could notice the new blood under the skin. After a while she was nblo -to return to business. Her health now is perfect. Every nerve got toned up nnd her appetite is' good and her appearance first class." . Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are 3s. a box, G boxes lGs.
