I had twitchings all over my body, in my hands, feet, arms, mouth and eyes. It was pitiable to see mc. I couldn't do the smallest thing for myself. I was fed with a spoon, for I couldn't handle a thing. If I tried to dress myself I'd tear my clothes to rags. I was twisting and turning all the time. In my sleep I'd be restless all the night. There was hardly any hair on my head, I'd tear It out In handfulls. I got so bad that I dare not be taken out, my lege would twitch and down I'd fall. My month would twitch violently, and I'd make the most awful grimaces. I could only speas In stammers and mumbles. I ;was painfully thin and seemed to have no blood In my body. I hadn't a scrap of eoleur in my face or hands. It was pitiable to see mc. I couldn't sit still, my shoulders would shrug and my body shake. I was In bed pretty well ail the years I was 11L I was Just taken out on the verandah on fine days for an airing. Some days I'd have to be strapped down. No one could have suffer- ' ea nuLse. I was despaired of. Mother spent large sums on doctors and medicines, but 1 got no better until she tried Dr. Williams' ' t Pink Pills for mc. The twitchings were | less with the second box, and after that improvement continued steadily. My hands got steadier, and before I was on the nftn bos I began to feed myself and dross mj- j self. By the time I started the eighth box I was able to get about the house without fear of falling. Soon after I could go out for a short walk. I began to eat heartily and fill out. My blood got richer and the colour came back to my face. By the time I had finished the ninth box I was a changed girl. Everyone I was amazed.
