CHILDREN HAVE NERVES

St. Vitus' Dance a commc trouble of childhood.

The result of a Run ( Down Nervous Condition —The cor rect treatment and its success

Even children suffer from nervous troubles. They get St. Vitus' dance, a most distressing nervous complaint. Rapidly growing children, and tiiosa going to school, who -use up their nervous energy with study, and fit subjects. A sudden fright is often what brings it on. When the blood supply doss not keep pace with the demands of growing children the nerves become unstrung, and the condition arises in which. St. Vitus' Dance flourishes. The correct treatment aims at restoring the nerves to a proper state of tone. That is why treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills has been so successful. They are a direct

nerve tonic, and they assist in the' formation of new blood from which the nerves get their nourishment. Little John Pimblett, son of Mr and Mrs J. Pimblett, who keep the British Fruit Palace in Burt Street, Boulder, W.A., was a victim for years. He is another of the long list who have been cured of St. Vitus' Dance by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Speaking of his euro, his mother said :

"My son John had an attack of i'rheumatism at seven years, and St. Vitus' Dance came on after, and for years, until lately, in fact, it was present nearly all the time. He might get a spell from it say for three months, and it would come back worse than ever. His limbs were always on the twitch, even his tongue would not keep still. At night he would twist and turn and throw the bedclothes off so that we would often have to get up and attend to him. His fingers were always on the,go. Perhaps six months •-it a time he would have to stay from ■chool. He could eat fairly well, hut the food didn't seem,to nourish him very much, for he was not nearly as robust as a boy his ago should be. Ho seemed to have no life, and never cared to play about like the others. His speech some days would be most jumbled, and indistinct. His shoulders would shrug and he could not sit still in a chair. When he walked one leg would drag after tho other. He found it a. trouble to dress himself. His heart's action was very rapid and ir.regillar.too/ We did all we possibly cYmld, but it was left to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to tone up his system, and this they did most satisfactorily. We gave him three pills each day, and presently noticed the twitching was not so pronounced and he seemed a good deal brighter. He improved also in colour and flesh and slept better at night. We were quite pleased • with the improvement that set in. He was less mopy. Formerly everything would upset him, for . other lads thoughtlessly* mimiced the twitching, and he would have'to come home. His nerves seem thoroughly toned up now, and we ;speafc of the good Dr. Williams' Pink PMls did him as a duty."
