HELPLESS AS AN INFANT.

YOUNG GIRL SEVERELY ATTACKED BY ST. VITUS ' DANCE.

HER MOTHER HAD TO FEED, DRESS AND WASH HER—A NOTABLE CURE BY DR. WILLIAMS'PINK PILLS.

A notable instance of the valuo of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in nervous disorders is given by Mrs Caroline Browne, of "Minnieville," John Street, Wavorley, a Sydnoy suburb. Some tinio ago her daughter" Margaret, who is now nineteen, was attacked by that disonlor dreaded by all parents, St. Vitus' Dance. Mrs Browne had to treat her girl just like an infant, wash, food and dress her. The patient had the attention of a medical man, but as Mrs Browne was not satisfied that progress towards recovery was being mado, she decided to give her daughter a course of- Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs Browne speaks in glowing terms uf the result. She says:— "After having an attack of St. Vitus' Dance when she was twelve, my daughter Margaret always gave the impression that "the complaint was still in her system, and at fifteen years of ago it returned. Owing to a sudden fright in the house the twitching started quite suddenly and soon she was as bad as over, and became quite .helpless. She was waited on hand and foot. 1 had to feed and dress and even wash her. Her clothes would be so torn with the convulsive movements through every part of her body. It started first in the right arm, and the right side was always the worst. Her head would twist and her eyebrows and mouth were never still. Her tongue swelled and her speech got so jumbled and indistinct you could barely make out a word. Once she was asleep she was quiet enough, but as soon as she woke the bed clothes would go in

-ill directions. She could not eat :i solid meal, but had mostly light dishes. Meat would choke her unless chopped very line. T 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 the doctor. I was on tho alert all the time to see she came to no harm in the house or out of it. Her lips were quite bloodless and she was thin and poorly. Headaches were ;i trouble, too. I was in a dreadful worry over her for her state could hardly have been worse, and I was at my wits' end. Somehow I 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 the dose. While she was on the second box, oue day at tea time, she took hold of her cup by herself and lifted it to her lips much to our surprise. We kept on steadily with the pills, and little by little she improved. The twitching of every muscle got less marked, and when she" walked she could put her feet down firmly and in proper place. The pallid look disappeared, and you could notice the new blood under the skin. After a time she was able to return to business. Hor health now is perfect. Every nerve got toned up, and her appetite is good and her appearance first-class." Take Or. Williams' Pink Pills for bloodlessness, indigestion, rheumatism, and nervous complaints, they have cured others of these disorders.
