CHILDREN WITH ST. VITUS’ DANCE.

Many children have been called awkward, or have been punished in school for not keeping still or for dropping things, when the trouble was St. Vitus’ dance. This disease is most common between the ages of 6 and 14 years. It is caused by thin blood, which fails to carry sufficient nourishment to the nerves, and the child becomes listless and inattentive. Then twitching of tho muscles and jerking of tho limbs and body follow. , fit. Vitus’ dance is cured by building up the blood. The proper treatment is to remove the child from all excitement, atop school work, and give Dr Williams’ Pink Pills according to instructions. Try a short treatment with these strengthening pills, and watch the color return to pale cheeks and lips, see how the worn nerves recover their poise, note how much less irritating the children become. Dr Williams’ Pink Pills are a blessing to nervous people everywhere, men as well as Women, because they build up tho blood and strengthen the nerves. They lighten the cares' of life because they give you new strength to meet them. Further information on the tonic treatment of “ Diseases of the Nervous System ” is contained in a useful booklet which will be sent free to any applicant by the Dr Williams’ Medicine Co., Box 845, G.P.0., Wellington.—[Aclvt.]
