CHILDREN WITH ST. VITUS
Many children have been called awkward or have been punished* in school for not keeping still nr fur dropping things when the trouble was St. Vitus’ dance. This disease is most common between the ages of 6 and 14 years. It is caused by thin blood which fails to carry sufficient nourishment to the nerves, and the child becomes listless and inattentive. Then twitching of -the muscles and jerking of the limbs and body follow. St. Vitus dance is cured by building up the blood. The proper treatment is to remove the child from all excitement, school work and give Dr Williams’ Pink Pills according to instructions. Try a short treatment with these strengthening pills and watch the colour return to pale cheeks and lips, see how the worn nerves recover their poise, note how much less irritating the children become. Dr Williams’ Pink Pills are a blessing to nervous people everywhere, men as Well as women, because they build up the blood and strengthen the nerves. They lighten the cares of life because they give you new strength to meet them. Your own dealer can supply you. A postcard to the Dr Williams’ Medicine Co., Ltd., Wellington, will bring a* useful booklet on "Diseases of the Nervous System.”
