WATCH NERVOUS CHILDREN.

St. Vitus' dance is a disease easier to prevent than to cure. Nervous children should therefore be carefully watched for svmptoms of the approach of this disease. Long before the child becomes awkward and begins dropping things there is a period in which the appetite is fickleand, the patient is tired and listless. The jerking movements characteristic of the disease come much later. 4 . In the early stages a good tonic for the blood and nerves will go far toward preventing the development of the disease. But the tonic must be free from alcohol and opiates, for these make the nervous condition much worse. When your child appears listless, prefers to sit and read rather than go out and play and requires altogether too much time to get his or her "lessons, give her a course of treatment with Dr Williams' Pink Pills. These pills build up the blood, nourish the starved nerves, and improve the general health. There has been no increase in the price of Dr Williams' Pink Pills. Your own chemist sells them, or you can order direct from the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Box 845, G.P.0., Wellington. Price, 3s per box; six boxes, los 6d. Booklet on nervous disorders free.
