NICaOL OF cAOREA.
From Republican Jouu1tal, 0g1ensbterg, N. Y
A letter vas lately received at the office
of the Republican Jolrnal from Ham
mond to the etfe5t that tie cure of an ex-
traordinarll5 severe cAse CT ST. Vitus'
dance had been effected on the person OF
little Stanley Niohoi, the year old son
of Mrs Charles Nichol OF that village.
A reporter WIS accordingly dispatched
in that direction who, after some in
quiry, found Mrs. Nichols residence
about mile outside the village. Mis-.
Nichul said:
"a little over year ago my boy, Stan
leg Niohol, who is NOW only eight years
old, alarmed me one day by being taken
wiuha strange aurgling IN his throat.
After the first the lit acks becnme quite
frequent Stanley did not complain OF
any pain, but said that he could Got help
making the noise. At that time there
WAS New York doctor stopping in the
village who was specialist on throat
and nasal diseases. l took my son to
hi.n and after careful examination he
said that there was nothing the matter
with the boys throat. 4he gurgling
in his opinion was caused by a nervous
contraction OF the muscles of the throat.
He asked who our family physician was
and said that be would consult with him
before he prescribed.
Stanley rapidly grew worse. He was
always a siOkly boy. One day | noticed
that he was Jerking his arm up in a
very peculiar manner. few days later
he saeme1 to lose control of his legs,
first one and then the other would be
pulled up and then Strengthened out
again. He was a perfect bundle of nerves
AMI was rapidly losing all control OF
himself. When eating at the table or
drinking, his arm would often twitch SC
as to spill what he WAS drinking One
day he scared ne terribly by throwing
back his head and rolling his eyes up SO
that only the white parts showed. ]
took him to our family physician who
prepared some medicine for him. He took
it and commenced to improve. The dose,
however, had TO be increased and Stan
ley rebelled against taking Ii. 1t was
very disagreaRble medicine aud l dom
blanc the boy for not wishing TO take it.
"Our physician went to New York
city ON business and while he was away
the medicine became exhausted and we
could get no more. Stanley was, still
very bad. About that time l read about
little girl who had been cured of st.
Vitus' dance by taking Pink Pills.
thought l would try them and procured
a box. l followed the directions that
came with the pills, aud gave only hall
proyement and increased the dose to a
whole pill. The effect was noticed in a
day. Stanley Immediately commenced
to get better and did not object to taking
pills as he had the other medicine. He
took seven boxes of the pills and today
appears to be perfectly well. He discon-
tinued taking them some time ago. he
weighs nearly fifteen pounds more than
he did and is strong and hearty. a year
ago we took him out of school but he is
so much better now that he is going to
begin again this fall
