TWITCHING ST. VITUS’ DANCE + This Girl had to leave School for Six Months* $ Muscles and limbs always on the move —A painful case cured by Dr. Williams" Pink Pills. Little Olive Swainston, of Boulder City, W.A., after suffering for months with a. most distressing attack of St. Vitus’ Dance, was cured bv Dr Williams’. Pink Pills. Sho had medical attention, but did not im prove, and her parents were becoming alarmed at the progress of the disease. Her curs, once a course of Dr Williams’ Pink Pills was started, was to be expected. They have cured a great many cases of this" complaint, because it is a nervous disorder, and they supply the system with the rich new blood that is necessary to keep the nerves in tone. Mr It. Swainston, of 75 Miller street, Boulder, a well-known miner, made the following statement in regard to his daughter’s case: “My daughter Olive, who is eleven years old, had an attack of St. Vitus’ Dance, and was poorly for some months. We noticed her arms and legs beginning to twitch spasmodically, as if they were on wires. She had to" leave school for six months. Her tongue would twist, and her eyebrows and shoulders used to jerk and twist too. She got worse and worse, and at last she could not fasten her clothes or button her shoes. It was not safe to give her a teacup to hold, for ten to one it would drop. Wo gave her all sorts of soups and nourishing foods, and tried every possible remedy, even to hot sea-salt baths, but she did not improve. She could not got a good night’s sleep, her limbs would move about so, and my wife had constantly to got up and straighten the clothes and attend to her. Her speech became so jumbled one could hardly make out what she was saying, ami she seemed to bo unable to think clearly, as if her senses were numbed. She could not walk well or easily—it, was as if she were hopping or jumping. Sho could not oven sit still. At last mv wife, having tried Dr Williams’ Pink Pills herself for Rheumatism. started giving her a pill at each meal, and sonic colour showed in her face; formerly sho was quite white. The twisting began to wear off, and at last ceased altogether, and she has become as well and healthy as we could wish any child to be, and every trace of the complaint has disappeared.” Insist on getting Dr Williams’ Pink Pills.
