IN HOSPITAL WITH ST. VITUS' DANCE.

Schoolgirl a Great Sufferer.

Nerves shattered through a fright. Every muscle twitched and quivered. Lost the use of ht»r legs. Medical attention of no avail. Nerves made steady by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

When .-niv thing goes wionj, with tinblood, the nerves are almost certain to .suffer. They got *>11 their nourishment from the blood, and so it m eas> to understand that if it is lacking in strength oi deficient in quantity ail sorts ot nci-vous disorder-, ma) set up. Herewith we publish a severe case oi St. Vitus' Dance that was cured by Di . William^' Pink Pills— that ol Winiirod Curtin, daughter of Mrs M. Ciutin, 341 James St., Kiugsholmc, Brisbnne. Di . Williams' Pink Pills are a blood-maker and nerve tonic, that's wh\ they are so useful in these complaints. .Mis Curtin gn\o the following account ol her daughter's cure to a reporter:—

"Winifred got a fright through a tram passing too close to her. and then St. Vitus' Dance started," said Mrs Curt in. "She got very nei vous :\nd very irritable. She wasted away to a skeleton. You could hardly take hold ot her: she wos just a bag ot bo'io.-,. She was quite bloodless, nothing but water would come if she cv*. herself. She got wor&c every day and could not go to school. She 10.-,t the power of her legs for years. She had to be fed with a spoon, dressed and cared for like a baby. Every muscle twitched and quivered and he- rA as would roll m her head. She wj.s three months in tinHospital and had the best medical ;tdvice and attention, but she was onl\ getting worse. The least stjrt she got and the t»\ itching would strut. She couldn't walk from room to room without falling. Her oacs would bo blinking always and very soi'* and painful. When we took her from tho Hospital vhc was carried out and dii\en home in a cab. For tho next olevn months she, u««ed neither hands nor I'ect. The feet .swelled up and tho big to"s thrive her agonising pain. She used to lie m an easy chair on the front and had to be helped in ovniy wa;\. Then a friend from Sydney ;uh i'mhl ni" to give her Dr. Williams' "ink PilN. which I did. With the second box I noticed her hands were not so tighth clenched and we were simply overjoyed. As she went on with the course the twitchings- grew less and she showed :\n inclination to oat. Exery box fouiuher a little better. Wo kept on with them and the power and strength came back to her legs and she could wnlk without stumbling. Presently she began to put a little flesh on her bone-,. and she got some colour in her face. In a little while she could help and do little tilings for herself. It was a load and a .strain off our minds. She got bright and cheerful and presently wa> getting about as well as anyone. She could sleep well, and her nerves jj.ot strong and her blood rich. She r cured now and goes to work even day."

Remember, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills aie for an^ complaint that a good .supply of rich red blood will cure, but you must have the genuine kind. Sold In chemists and The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.. of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington, at 3- a box, six boxes for 10/6, post free.
