turned his steps to the hotel. an utter

would get things in as good order as

personal matters. Having posted this,

s /. VituS
\TanquisI1ed,
What Cured Lille Stanley Michel CT Chorea.
From tn. Repuoricun-Journut. ogdensourg. NJ p

A letter was lately received at the Office of
the Republicdn-,JOurndI from Hammond to
the effect that the cure of an extraordinary
severe case of st. Vitus' dance had been
effected on the person of little Stanley Nichol,
the eight-year-old son of Mrs. Charles Nichol
of that village.
A reporter was accordingly dispatched in
that direction who, after some inquiry, found
Mrs. Nichols residence about a mile outside
the village. Mrs. NichOl said:
A little over year ago my boy, Stanley
NichOl, who is now only eight years old,
alarmed me one day by being taken with a
strange gurgling in his throat. After the
first the attacks became quite frequent.
Stanley did not complain Of any pain, but
said that he could not help making the noise.
AT that time there was a New York doctor
stopping in the village who was a specialist
on throat and nasal diseases. took my son
to him and after careful examination he
said that there was nothing the matter with
the boys throat. The gurgling in his opinion
was caused by nervous contraction of the
muscles of the throat. He asked who our
family physician was and said that he would
consult with him before he prescribed.
"Stanley rapidly grew worse. He was
slwsys siekly boy. One day I noticed
that he was jerking his arm up in a very
peculiar manner. A few days later he
seemed to lose control of his legs. first one
and then the other would be pulled up and
then Strengthened out again. He was per-
feet bundle of nerves and was rapidly losing
all control Of himself. When eating at the
table or drinking, his arm would often twitch

his head and rolling his eyes up so that only
the white parts showed. | took him to our
family physician who prepared some medi-
cine for him. He took it and commenced to
improve. The dose, however, had to be in
creased and Stanley rebelled against taking
it. 1t was very disagreeable medicine and
don't blame 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

of st. Vitus' dance by taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. l thought would try them and
procured a box. | followed the directions
that came with pills, and gave only half a
pill at a dose. | did not see much improve
ment and increased the dose to a whole pill.
The effect was noticed in day. Stanley i'm
mediateIy commenced to get better and did
not object to taking the pills as he had the
other medicine. He took seven boxes of the
pills and to-day appears to be perfectly well.
He discontinued 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

she said to him:

There is something in that. Ken

make it advantageous to You TO do me

might have no objection to writing n
little document TO the effect that the

scQuently I had secured the mine.
Then, if you would sign that, l could
take it over to Melville and make terms
with him. CT course, if he knows that
he has the mine, there will not be
much chance of coming to any arrange

'Ah. well, l suspected as much but
thought it was worth while to try.
However, my dear sir, I may make
terms with Melville yet and then
imagine you won't have much to do
with the mine"
II shall not have anything to do
with it if you and Melville have a share
in it. And if, as yoI suspect, Melville
has the mine, consider you are in
bad way. My opinion is that when
one rascal gets an advantage over an
other rascal. the other rascal will be,
as you say, left"
Longworth unused over this for a mo
ment and said: Eyes, I fear you are
right-in fact, am certain of it. Well,
that is all wanted to know. I will bid
you Eood-by. / shan't see you again in
Ottawa. as l shall sail very shortly for
England. Have you any messages you
would like given to your friends over
there?'
None, thank you"
"Well. ia Ia" and the young man
left John to his packing.
When that necessary operation was
concluded Kenyon sat down and
thought over what Young Longworth
had told him. His triumph. after all.
had been short-lived. The choice be-
tween the two ScouCdrels was so small
that he felt he didn't care which of
them owned the mine MeditatiUg upon
this disagreeable subject, he suddenly
remembered a request he had asked
Wentworth to make to the new owner
of the mine. He wanted no favor from
Melville, so he wrote a second letter
contradicting the request made in the
first, and. after posting it. returned
tc his hotel and went to bed. probably
