YOUNG WOMAN CURED OF ST. VITUS’ DANCE.

By Dr. Williams’ Fink Fill*. ) Their great value as a nerve tonic proved—One of the worst nervous cases on record—Helpless as a baby—Had to be held during attacks—Seven years a sufferer, and practically bedridden for all that time — In good health to-day. St Vitus’ Dance Is one of the most nervous disorders. It often follows a shock or run-down condition of the nerves, and can only be cured by “toning” the nerves. That’s what Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills do. They, are born a blood builder and a nerve tonic, and their value in nervous complaints is shown by the marvellous eure of a Sydney, young woman, who was violently attacked. “For seven years I suffered from St. .Vitus’ Dance,” said Mrs Thomas Edmunds, 38, Bullanaming-st., Redfern, Sydney. "I had the best advice, but I got no lasting benefit. I had twitehings ail over my body, in my hands, feet, arms, mouth and eyes. It was pitiable to see me. I couldn’t do the smallest thing for myself. I was fed with « spoon, for I couldn’t handle a thing. If I tried to dress myself I’d tear my clothes to rags. I was twisting and turning all the time. In my sleep I’d be restless all the night. There was hardly any hair on my head, I’d tear it out in handfulls. I got so had that I dare not be taken out, my. legs would twitch and down I’d fall. My, mouth would twitch violently, and I’d make the most awful grimaces. I could only speak in stammers and mumbles. I ;was painfully thin and seemed to have no blood in my body. 1 hadn’t a scrap of colour in my face or hands. It was pitiable to Bee mt. 1 couldn’t sit still, my shoulders would shrug and my body shake. I was In bed! pretty well all the years I was ill. I was just taken out on the verandah on fine days for an airing. Some days I’d have to be strapped down. No one could have suffered worse. I was despaired of. Mother spent large sums on doctors and medicines, but I got no better until she tried Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for me. The twitehings were less with the second box, and after that improvement continued steadily. My hands got steadier, and before I was on the fifth box I began to feed myself and dress myself. By the time I started the eighth box I was able to get about the house without fear of falling. Soon after I could go out for a short walk. I began to eat heartily and fill out. My blood got richer and the colour came back to my, face. By the time I had finished the ninth box I was a changed girl. Everyone was amazed. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills worked a miracle In my case.” If you are in doubt about your own case, write for hints as to diet, etc., to The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., of Wellington.
