Williams Pink Pills in This
Severe Nervous Disorder.

So common is st. Vitus dance that
in some schools one-fifth of all the
pupils have been found suffering from
it in one form or another.
Before the presence of the disease is
betrayed there is usually a disturbance
of the general health. The child shows
iistlessness and inattention. Then it
becomes restless and twitching of the
muscles and jerking of the limbs and
body follow.
Often the patient loses flesh and be-
comes pale and bloodless. DIR. Will
