When she was fourteen years old, Mrs.
Ida L. Brown had st. Vitus' dance.
She finally got over the most noticeable
features Of the strange ailment, but was
still troubled by very uncomfortable sem

OF my tongue would get cold and numb.
These feelings would come on, last for

have palpitation of the heart, and my
strength would get so low that could
hardly breathe. AS time went on these
spells kept coming oftener and growing
worse. The numbness would sometimes
extend over half my body"
How did you get rid Of them?"
"Itseemed for long time as if never
could get rid of them. 1t was not until
about six years ago that 1 found remedy
that had virtue enough in it to reach my
case. That was DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, and they have since en-

did it take long to effect cure?"
"Nol / hadn't taken the whole of the

when saw the doctor was not helping

me of that trouble too, and have never
had any dizzy spells since"
Mrs. Brown lives at No. 1705 Dewitt
street, Nation, Illinois. DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are without an equal for the
rapid and thorough cure of nervous pros
