The article described the ea.se of another child who j bad been cured of St- Titus' Dance by l)r j -Williams' Pink rills.

"Hilda got a fright as a- little girl, and j St. Vitus' Dance set in," said Mrs Duthie. j "Her face began first to twitch violently; j every mu.*cle would twist. It spread "to! every limb after, and she grew so bad T I .had to •wheel her about everywhere: it; ■was impossible for her to walk. She had ! 'to be* tied in the perambulator, and other j .times she would lie on a rug on the floor, j .She.was rubbed all over with brandy, and j ;had shocks and warm baths, and then a! 'icloucbe of ice water down her spine. Ail I •j&er.Jtqod. had to be liquid form; if it jweta solid she would work it out of her month, for her tongue was never ptill. She was "months practically speechless, end of course could not go to school. She could not even stand on hrr lcjt. She was as -.white as death; there was h»*dry a trace of blood in her veins. Her I head "would ache nearly all the time. At | night she would twitch the bed clothes! off, and once for three nights I was up all I the? time putting on hot flannels. Shj- was As'cold as ice. and cramps would come: ;n.j None- of the neighbours thought .she ', would ever pull through.

She had to bo ! led every quarter of an hour night and ' day, and the fjod always varied. Even I then she could barely take a spoonful at a fuiie. It was no use dressing her.
