ST v|TUS' DANcEI
How One Little Sufferer Was
Permanently Cured.

z From, the Traveller. Arkdnsas City, Kan. =
Rapid as has been the advance Of
medical science along many lines. it is
only in recent years that a remedy has
been discovered for one Of the most
dreadful Of nervous diseases that afiiict
children-St. Vitus' dance.
This and other nervous disorders that
cause the pale and wan faces and
peevish, irritable dispositions Of so
many children can now be scientifically
treated by a remedy that strikes at the
root of the disease by renewing the
impoverished blood and strengthening
the nerves.
Words of commendation for this
remedy come from all parts of the
civilized world. This is the interesting
story told by Mr.. and Mrs. Christopher
Armstrong. Of Jefferson, Okla:
"Our youngest daughter was for
three years afflicted with st. Vitus'
dance. and We almost despaired of find
ing relief in medical treatment. She
was SO helpless that she had to be fed
and would fall over ut times and be UNI
able to rise.
1--WE had heard and read great deal
about DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, and, as last resort, determined
to try them. The effect was almost
miraculous. From the first box there
was noticeable improvement. Alto
gether she took about a dozen boxes,
and by the time she was thirteen years
Of age. was strong and healthy, weigh
ing ia pounds"
