ST. VITUS' DICE , AFTER' ft Fill 0 Muscles Twitching and Jumping for Years, •This Girl Tells how She was Cured by Strengthing her • Nervous System. -e Following n severe frignt in childhood Miss Hannah Anderson, S5 Park Street, Abbottetord, Melbourne, developed St. Vitus' Dance in a very aggravated form. Developing into womanhood tho complaint still persisted making her life a, blirden, and she seemed unable to shake it oil' despite a great deal of mcdical attention. Finally Jliss Anderson decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and she found in time that the complaint was leaving her system. After so many years the disease had developed a. good hold on her system, and it was only after persistent treatment with these pills that sho was finally and completely cured. St.; Vitus' Dance is caused by weak 'run down nerves, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been found to cure a vast number of cases owing to their tonic action on tho nervous system. The following is Jliss Anderson's nocount of her illness and cure:— "I got a severe fright when I was a child that sent me into hysterics, and shortly after that St. Vitus' Dance attacked me. I rapidly got worse. Every nerve and muscle I possessed would start twitching in the most painful manner. I simply could not control tlieM. I would b? sitting still and all of a sudden every muscle would start off, eyebrows, mouth, and tongue would twist. My feet and hands would move. Mostly the left side was the worst. I would put my left hand against my right sid« to steady it. I would laugh and cry and then have fits of hysterics, at tho least excitement, even a knock at the door would set me off. I used to do a great deal of fancyworlc when I was able, but when the twitching came on I would have to drop the material, my hands would not hold it. and my tongue would work till it felt fairly numbed and paralysed so that I could not speak. At times I could not hold a cup of tea or even a spoon, down they would go crash. Even (o hold a. needle was then beyond me. My speech was quite indistinct, at time's I would mumble and. hesitate and could hardly get tho words out. I could hardly dare to go out by myself; I would fill right down. I used to be helped to dress sometimes. I had no colour in my face or lips. I never could oat or enjoy my food, and I was very thin. I was always depressed. When I walked I would drag one leg after the other. Mv shouldcrs would shrug and draw mi, and all my face would twist. I had taken to mnnv thines ill vain, I thought I would never be belter, but one day I read of a, euro c i like mine that T resolved to try Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills and after a while my nerves got a little stronger, so T was (inly too pleased to keep on. I look a largo number of boxes, as mine was such a'sfvere ease, and in time I was completely cured." • _ Remember, only the genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure.
