HELPLESS AS AN INFANT.

Young Girl Severely Attacked by St. Vitus’ Daucc,-

Her Mother had to Feed, Dres: ■aid Wash her —A Notable Cur? bv Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.

A notable instance of the value of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in nervous disorders is given by Mrs. Caroline Browne, of "Minnieville,” John Street, Wavcrley, a Sydney suburb. .Some time ago her daughter Margaret, who is now nineteen, was attacked by that disorder dreaded by all parents. St. I Vitus’ Dance. Mrs, Browne had to j treat her girl just like an infant, wash. I feed and dress her. Tho patient had ; the intention of a medical man, but as .Mrs. Browne was not satisfied that progress towards recovery was being made, she decided to give her daughter a course of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Mrs. Browne speaks in glowing terms of the result. >Sbe says; — j "After having an attack of St. 1 Vitus’ Dance when she was twelve, my i daughter Margaret always gave the | impression that the complaint was still in her system, and at fifteen years of age it returned. Owing to a sudden fright in the house tho twitching started quite suddenly, and soon she was as bad as ever, and became quite helpless. She was waited on hand aud foot. 1 had to feed and dress and oven wash her. Her clothes would bo so torn with tho convulsive movements through every part, of her body. It started first iu the right arm and tho right side was always the worst. Her head would twist aud her eyebrows and mouth were never still. Her tongue swelled and her speech got so jumbled and indistiuct you could barely make out a word. Once she was asleep she was quiet enough, but as soon as she woke tho bedclothes would go in all directions. She could not eat a solid meal, but had mostly light dishes. Meat, would choke her unless chopped very fine. I sat by her at meal times just to lift her cup of tea for her. She never stirred out of the house except when I took her up to tho doctor. 1 was on the alert all tho time to see she came to no harm in tho house or nut of it. Her lips were quite bloodless ami she was so thin and poorly. Headaches wore a trouble, too. I was in a dreadful worry over her, for her state could hardly have been worse, and 1 was at my wit’s end. Somehow 1 always had a belief in Dr. 'Williams’ Pink Pills, so I bought a couple of boxes for a trial, giving her three pills a day at first and. gradually increasing Hie dose. While she was on the second box ono day at tea lime she took hold of her cap by herself and lifted it to her lips, much to our surprise. Wo kept on steadily with the pills, and little by little she improved. Tho twitching of every muscle got less marked, and when she walked she could put her feet down firmly and iu tho proper place. The pallid look disappeared and you could notice tho new blood under the skin. After a time she was able to return to business. Her health now is perfect. Every nerve got toned up, and her appetite is good and her appearance first-class.” Take Dr. AVjlliams’ Pink Pills for Bloodlessnoss, Indigestion, Rheumatism and Nervous Complaints, they have cured others of these disorders. Price 3s a box, six boxes 16s 6d, or from tho Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co. of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington.
