GIRL HELPLESS WITH ST. VITUS'

Had to be Fed and Dressed like an Infant.

Mother recounts her Astonishing Cure by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

For over six months her daughter Margaret was a constant care to Mrs Caroline Browne, of "Minnieville," John 6treet, Waverley, Sydney. The girl had developed St. Vitus' ' Dance in a most aggravating form, and although she was fifteen, had to bo fed, washed and dressed like an infant. She was under doctor's care for six weeks, but did not recover. Finally Mrs Browne began to give her daughter Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and they completely cured her. Mrs Browne is anxious that other mothers who may have suffering children should know of the cure, and has permitted the details being made public. St. Vitus' Dance is a distressing nervous disease, and, like Neuralgia and Sciatica, can only be cured through the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain the elements which enable the blood to nourish the nerves until they become strong. Mrs Browne caid:

"After having an attack of St. Vitus' Dance when she was' twelve, my daughter Margaret always gave the impression that the complaint was still in her system, and at fifteen years of age it returned. Owing to a sudden fright in the house the twitching started quite suddenly and soon she was as bad as ever, and became utterly helpless. She was waited on hand and foot. I had to feed and dress, and even wash her. Her clothes would be so torn with tho convulsive movements through every part of her body. It started first in th crigh-i arm and the right 6ide was always the worst. Her head would twist and her eyebrows and mouth were never still. Her tongue swelled in her month and her speech got so jumbled and indistinct you could barely make out a word. Once sho was asleep she was quiet enough, but as soon as she woke the bedclothes would go in all directions. She could not cat a solid meal, it was mostly light dishes. Meat would choke her unless chopped very fine. I sat by her at mca! times just to lift her cup of tea for her. She never stirred out of the house except when I took her up to the doctor. I was on tho alert all the timo to see phe came to no harm in the house or out of it. Her lips were quite blanched, and she was so thin and poorly. Headaches were a trouble, too. I was in a dreadful worry over her for her state could hardly have been worse, and I was at my wits' end. Somehow I always had a belief in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills so I bought a couple of boxes for a trial, giving her three pills a day at first and gradually increasing tho dose. While she was on the second box one day at tea time sho took hold of her cup by herself and Tfted it to her lips -much to our purprise. We kept on steadily with the pills and little by little she improved. The twitching of every muscle got less marked, and when flio walked she could put her _eet down firmly and in tho proper place. The pallid look disaupcai-ed you could notice, tho new blood under the skin. After awhile she was able to return to business Her health now is perfect. Every nerve got toned up, and her appetite is good pnd her appearance first class."
