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' Dance by Dr "Williams' Pink Pills 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 nervo, like every other part of the body, depend on the blood for their nourishment, strength and health. St. Vitus' Dance is the commonest form of nervous trouble which afflicts children, because of 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 so great that they impoverish the blood, and the nervee fail to receive their full supply of nourishment, that the nervous debility which leads to St. Vitus' Dance begins. The remarkable success of Dr Williams' Pink Pills in curing St. Vitus' Dance should lead, parents to give their children this blood building medicine at the first stage of the approach of the disease. Palor, listlessness, inattention, restlessness and irritability are early symptoms. The cure of Irene Nash, daughter of Mrs Emily Nash, 6, Upper Union Street, Auckland, is sufficient proof of their power to cure this disease. "My daughter Irene is just over twelve," said Mrs Nash. "She 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 so that it was painful to see her. Her appetite fell away and 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 seveTe headaches, and was very mopy. I took her to the doctor, but as she 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 four boxes of Dr Williams' Pink Pills with her. They did her so much good that 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 pill.*. Remember, only tho genuine Dr Williams' Pink Pills cure. Don't be gulled into taking something said to be just as good. Of all dealers at 3s per box, 6 boxes 16s 6d, or from the Dr Williams' Medicine Co. of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington. j
