Doctors Said one of the Worst \.:-1 ,, They, had Seen. x Ciireelsty Dr. Williams' Pink . A distressing case of St. Vitus' dance —-one of the worst they bad ever seen, said the hospital doctors where the little sufferer was an inmate, has been cured by Dr.' Williams' Pink Pills. These pills' are recommended in coinplaints'caused by weak qr : watery blood or run dowai nerves,"and they have in a great many instances received very high endorsation from the medical profession. The cure of this base of St. Vitus' Dance :is _a striking example of their tonic action to cure;, even the most serious nervous disorders. . . t'.-,:' The patient in this case was .Charlie, •the eleven-year-old son of Mr, and ; Mrs Charlie Stanshall, of 72 Raglan street, Waterloo, Sydney. Giving : an "acco.unt <bf : the cure to a reporter:,». Mr s: Stanshall said':- _"'■•■ ■_. r. .-.;■■.

We kept him in,bed when we could. He 'would 'fall down when he got out arid for months he could not walk outside of ■ the house. .He; was as weak as. a kitten', 'and so "nervous we coiild hardly speak to him. Some nights he had to be strapped down and given chloroform. He wotild tear his clothes :to" ribbons if he trieS~€p put them on.

He looked as if. he hadn't a; drop of blood in his veirisV* His father used to rub him frorii head to foot, and use liniments to brace his muscles and improve the circulation. : ;'I did not think he would pull through. At the hospital, where he was for a while, they said that it was the wonst case they'had ever had. He got worse -instead of better, and we were at our. wit's end. It was a fortunate day when we tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Bj the time he was on the second box the improvement was marked, and the third box cured him. The twitching grew less every day. He began to eat and to fill out and to sleep more restfully. Not a -sign remains, he can go back to school, and is as robust and lively as any boy—thanks entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
