HELPLESS WITH ■ ST. VITUS' DANCE. » An Extreme Case Cured at Auckland. A Grateful Mother's Statement for the Benefit of Other Sufferers. The cure of St. Vitus , Dnneo by Dr. Wllllnnis' rink nils Is a striking example of the power of a tonic acting through the blood to cure even the most serious nervous disorders. This power Is due to the fact that the nerves, like every other part of the body, depend on the blood for their nourishment, strength, and health. St. Vitus' Danoe Js the commonest form of nervous trouble which afflicts children, because to the great demands made on the body by growth and development, there Is added the strain caused by study. It Is when these demands become bo great 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 remnrkable success of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills In curing S*. Vitus' dance should lend parents to give their children this blood building mediclnn at the first sign of the approach of the disease. Pallor, lletlessness, inattention, restlessness and Irritability are early symptoms. The cure of Irene Nash, daughter of Mrs Emily Nash, 0, Upper Unlon-st., Auckland, Is sufficient proof of their power to cure this disease. "My daughter Irene is just over twelve," eald Mrs Nash. was a [ healthy child, but she got a fright through being nearly run over by a bicycle, and St. Vitus' Dance set In. We noticed her hands twitching convulsively, and as time went on she got worse. The movements spread to her legs, and when she was sitting they would move and twitch co that It was painful to see lier. Her appetite fell away nnd she could hardly eat a morsel. I had to take her away from school, as of course she could not hold a pen. She got thin and lost all her colour. She would cry if I spoke to her at all quickly, her nerves were so unstrung. She couldn't lift a cup of tea without spilling it. Occasionally she had severe headaches, and was very mopy. I took her to the doctor, but as ehe got no better, I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and they began to do her a lot of good. I sent her away for a change and she took lour boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills with her. They did her so much good thnt I sent up a further supply and she at last returned home cured, having taken three pills each day. To-day her health Is good." Both In New Zealand- and Australia there have been a great many cases of St. Vitus' Dance cured by these pills. Remember, only the genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure. Don't be gulled Into taking something said to be just as good. Of all dealers, at 3/ per box, 6 boxes 16/0, or from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington.

The difficulty of obtaining ice is always a sore trouble to the American in England. Two American actors were lunching in a country hotel some months ago—in the days when summer was trying to begin. They were drinking champagne and demanded ice. After a long wait it came—a small saucer with two lumps. They helped themselves with sufficient discretion. After a while, one of them wanted some more. "Joe." he said to his friend, "have you got any ice there?" "Well," was the reply, "there was a little, but some fellow, has taken it for a scarf pin-!* ■ — -
