HELPLESS AS AN INFANT. Young Girl Severely Attacked by St. Vitus' Dance. • Her Mother had to Feed, Dress' and Wash her —A Notable Cure by Dr. Williams' Pink . Pills. A notable instance of the value of Dr Williams' Pink Pills in nervous disorders is given by Mrs Caroline Browne, of "Minnieville," John street, Waverley, a Sydney suburb. Some time ago her daughter Margaret, who is now 19, was attacked by that disorder dreaded by all parents, St. Vitus' Dance. Mrs Browne had to treat her girl just like an infant, ,wash, feed, and dress her. The patient had the attention of a medical man; but as Mrs Browne was not satisfied that progress towards recovery was being made, she decided to give her daughter a, course of Dr Williams' Pink Fills. Mrs Browne speaks in glowing terms of the result. She says:— After having an attack of St. Vitus' Dance when sne was 12, my daughter Margaret always gave the impression that the complaint was still in her system, and at 15 years of age it returned. Owing to a sudden fright in the house the twitching started quite suddenly, and soon she was as bad as ever, and became quite helpless. She was waited on hand and foot. I had to feed and dress and even wash her. Her clothes would bo so torn with the convulsive movements through every part of her body. It started first in the right arm, and the right side was always the worst. Her head would twist and her eyebrows and mouth were never still. Her tongue swelled and her speech got so jumbled and indistinct you could barelv make out a word. Onco she was asleep she was quiet enough; but as soon as 6nc woke the bedclothes would go in all directions. She could not ©at a solid meat, but. had mostly light dishes. Meat would choke her unless chopped very fine. I sat by her at meal times just to lift her cup of tea for her. She never stirred crut of the house except when I took her up to the doctor. I was on the alert all tho time to see 6he came to no harm in the house or out of it. Her lips were quite bloodless, and she was so thin and poorly. Headaches were a trouble, too. I was m a dreadful worry over her, for her stato could hardly have been worse, and I was at my wits' end. Somehow I always had a belief in Dr Williams' Pink Pills, so I bought a couple of boxes for a trial, giving her three pills a day at first and gradually increasing the dose. While she was on the second box one day at tea, time she took hold of her cup by herself and lifted it to her lips, much to our surprise. We kept on steadily with the pills, and little by little she improved. The twitching of every muscle got less marked, and when she walked she could put her feet down firmly ' : id in the proper place. >T.he pallid look disappeared and you could notice the new blood under the skin. After a time she was 'able to return to business. Her health now is perfect. Every nerve got toned up and her appetite is good and her appearance first-clasp." Tako Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Bloodlessness. Indigestion, Rheumatism, and Nervous Complaints; they have cured others of these disorders.
