ST. VITUS' DANCE CURED

BY DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE. A LAD WHOSE SUFFERINGS WERE TERRIBLE TO WITNESS. IRREFUTABLE. TESTIMONY OF A MISSIONARY'S WIFE.

" Lake Condah, " October 11, 1897. ' ' The Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Sydney. " Sirs, — I have much pleasure in stating that Dr Williams' Pink Pills have cured a bad case of St. Vitus' Dance on our station.

" Willie Lovett, a lad 17 years of age, was attacked with the disease in question about two and a- half years ago. He was prescribed for by several doctors, but grew steadily worse. The whole of the right Bide, from the head down to the feet, w»s affected. He could neither dregs nor feed himself, and his limb? and face were constantly twitching in a manner distressing to see, both night and day. He could get -no proper rest. The pockets of his suits were all torn down the right side, owing to the involuntary convulsive movements made by his hand when he put it into them. . The last doctor who attended him told his friends they would have to be very careful that -the lad should not get a fright, or be hastily ' spoken to,- aa if, that happened he. .might- fall, down dead, his braiu was in such a bad^btate. Seeing accounts of several cases of cure of St. Vitus' Dance ia your little pamphlet which was sent to me, "I wrote to Sydney for six boxes of Dr Williams' Pink Filla, and the l»d commenced taking them according to directions.

" By the' time he "had taken three boxes-he was so much improved as to be able to feed himself, to wash and dress himself , and even to lace his own boots, a thing he had not done for a very long time before. When he finished the six b.<xes he -was perfectly cured, and looked quite a different boy. ' ' For over four months he has been out in all sorts of weather rabbit-trapping with his father, can use his pen, and chop wood, carry heavy buckets of water, aud, in fact, do any kind of rough work. Just at present he is away from heie working as a woolpicker in a largo shed in the Western District, where h : s father is engaged as a shearer.

" I give you this unsolicited testimony, not for the purpose of extending the sale of Pink Pills, but in order that other sufferers from the s*me disease, of whom there are doubtless many in the colony, may, perhaps, try them, and receive similar benefit to what this lad has got, through their use.

" I am quite willing to reply to any inquiriei aa -to khfl geuuiceueas of this case, and you are at liberty lo make what use^you please of my testimony.

" I am. Sirs, "XoaA truly, ' "M. STAHLE."

" To the Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Sydney.

" Sirs, — I have asked Mrs Sfcahle, q»r misaionar^'B wife, to inform you of the good Dc Williams' Pink Pilla Lave done our aon, 'Willie.' Evsry word of what this lady has so kindly written is perfectly true, and I can assure .you I am thankful to .God for curing my boy through their means, for wo were afraid he would never , get better, as all other medicines seemed to give him no relief at all. He. was Buffering for over two years. " 41 1 am, Sirs, " Yours gratefully, (Mr*) Hannah Loyett."

Dr Williams' Pink Fills have a remarkable effioacy in curing diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the blood or an impairment of the nervous system, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, nervous headache, nervous prostration and the tired feeling «risiog therefrom. They are genuine only with the fall name — Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People — and are sold in boxes encircling which is a blue warning label. The outside wrapper is of white paper, and is printed in red ink. Out repeated warnings may leem a trifle super* .fluous in the eyes of the reading public; but they were never more needed than now, and the Frequency with which they appear is attributable to our -desire, to afford our customers every protection. Imitators are in every coruer of Australasia, and many vendors are endeavouring to pass off a hurtful substitute, as ib* means a larger profit to them ; and the public would do/well to avoid them, for they would jutrt as readily dispense impure drugs. Dr Williams' Pink Pills are obtainable from all leading chemists, or from the Dr William*' Medicine Company, Wellington, N.Z., who will forward, post paid, one box for 3s, or half a dozen for 15i 9d. — Advb.

"Such- a bracing air I " " Yes," replied the resident gloomily, "but them there bicyclists come along and pump the air into their pneumatic tyres and carry it off.." — Old Gentleman : " What would you like to be when you grow up ? " Boy.: " I'd like to be a brioklayer." " That's a commendable ambition. Why would you like to be a bricklayer 1 " " 'Cause there's 80 many days when brioklayers can't, work."
