i BAD CASE OF ST. VITUS' DANCE

Doctors Said one of the Wors They had Seen.

Cured by Dr. Pin! PilU—The Mother's Story. A distressing case of St. Vitus' dance—one of the worst they had ever seen, said the hospital doctors where the little suiferer was an inmate, has been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills are recommended in complaints caused by weak or watery blood or run down nerves, and they have in a great many instances received very high endorsation from the medical profession. The cure of this case of St. Vitus' dance is a striking example of their tonic action to cure even the most serious nervous < disorders. .The patient in this case was Charlie, the eleven-year-old son of Mr and Mrs Charles Stanshall, of 72 Raglan St., Waterloo, Sydney. Giving an account i of the cure to a reporter, Mrs Stan- , shall said : j "Charlie was rather delicate as a \ child, and at last we noticed that St. | Vitus' dance had attacked him. His hands began to twitch and then life face, and gradually it spread to every muscle in the body. For more than six months he was this way. I Had him under a homeopathic doctor for four months but couldn't find a cure. He got quite helnless and had to leave school. He would reel and staeger'in walking like a drunken man. He had to be fed and dressed and waited upon like an infant in arms. It was painful to see him. His eyebrows and lips and mouth would twist and contort. At night be would struggle and could hardly be'held down. His eyes would look staring, and after these delerious i turns he \oould be quite exhausted ahd j the perspiration " would pour off him.' His shoulders, and arms - would jerk about ndjiis legs twist and turn. We j kept him in bed when we could. He "■oilld fall down when he got out, and for months lie could not 1 walk about outside of the house. Hie was as weak as a kitten, and so nervous that we could hardly speak to him. Some nights he had to be strapped down and given chloroform. He would tear his | clothes to ribbons if he tried to put I theni on. He could not sit still if he were paid for It. He could not speak Dlainly or clearly. He wasted till his limbs were like sticks. He looked as if he hadn't a drop of blood in his veins. His father used to.rub him from head to foot, and use liniments to brace liis muscles and'lmprove the circulation, but lie showed no improvement. I did riot think he would pull through. At. the hospital, where he, was for a while, they said 1 that it 'was the worse case they had ever seen. He got worse instead of better, and we were at our wit's end. It was a fortunate day when we tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. By the time he was on the second box the Improvement was marked, and the third box eured ; him. The twitching grew less every :day. He began to eat and fill out, and. to' sleep more restfully. Not a sign remains, he can go' back to school> - and . is: as robust and lively as any boythanks entirely to Dr. Williams' 7 Pink.
