ST. VITUS DANCE.

An Astonishing Cure of this Complaint.

Striking Example of Success of tbe Tonic Treatment in , New Zealand. The cure of St. Vitus' dance by Dr Williams' Pink Pills is «. striking example of the poweT of a tonic acting through the blood to cure even the most senous nervous disorders. This power U due to the tact that the nerves, like every o^er part i of the body, depend on the blood for their nourishment, strength and health. St Vitus' dance is the commonest torm of nervous trouble which afflicts children, because to the great demands made an. the body by growth and development, there is added the strain caused by study. It is when these demands become co jrreat that they impoverish the blood, and the nerves fail to receive their' full supply of nourishment that the- nervous debility which leads to St. Vitus' dance begins. The rema.rkab.e sucopsa of Dr Williams' Pink Pilfe in curing St. Vitus' dai.ee should lead parents to eive their oh'lclren this blood-building medicine at the first signs of the approach of the disease Pallor listlessnese, inattention, roalJessness, *nd irritability are early symptoms. The cure of Irene Na&h, daughter of Mrs Emily Nash. 6 Upper Union street, Auckland, is sufficient proof of their power to cure this disease. "Mt daughter Irene w just "over 12. said Mrs Nash.

We noticed her hands twitchingconvulsively, and as time went on sho got worse. The movement spread to her legs, and when she was flitfcing they would move and twitch so that it was pamful to see her. Her appetite fell awev and arhe could hardly ea± a morsel. I had to take her away from school, as of course she .could not hold a. to*ii. Sh* zot thin and lost all her colour.
