CHILDREN WITH ST. VITUS'S DANCE

sfeed to have the Nerves Restored—The Story of a Cure.

St. Vitus's Dance is the worst nervous disorder that attacks children. A fright often brings on the complaint, but some times it develops gradually owing to a run down condition of the nerves. In either case the correct treatment is to tone the nerves to a proper state of health. In fact this is the only treatment that will effect a cure. The value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in nervous disorders and particularly in St. Vitus's Dance has been proved iu a great many cases. They make new blood and tone the nerves and this is just what the little sufferers need. Parents who have children suffering from St. Vitus's Dance will be interested in the case reported in New Zealand. "I was never a very strong girl," said Mrs M. Dyer, Douglas Wallace I Street, Wellington, N.Z.,. "but from j the age of fourteen up to the age of | eighteen years I became very desponI dent. My health began to gradually fade away. I felt I was losing my strength without really feeling ill. I found I could not sit still. . I could not sit at table, as I could, not use my knife and fork, as my. hands and arms were always moving against my will. The muscles of my hands were, always twitching and jerking, and after a time my tongue became affected • so that I could not pronounce any words distinctly, my speech being very much impared. I was : dress-making at the time but had to leave for quite a year. I consulted a lodge doctor who stated my nerves were unstrung, and recommended me being out as much as possible in the fresh air, but he gave me no medicine. I ttyen consulted another doctor, who told me I was suffering from Chorea, in other words, St. Vitus's Dance. He ordered me into the Wellington Hospital, where I remained about ten days. I did not like being there, and returned home. I had been" out of the hospital about a month' and not feeling any better, nor using any medicine, my mother advised me to take a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as she hac} read of t ,cures of similar-cases by tlie'' pills. Mother bought somei at Wardells in Willis Street, and L commenced their use according to .the directions. I had been using them only a few days when I found they were do- ' ing me more good than all the treatment, so I continued their use till I had taken about six boxes, when I found myself in better health than I had ever been in during my previous When you want Dr. Williams' Pirik Pills don't be put ofE with anything else said to be just as good.
