ST. VITUS' DANCE
Proof Of the Remarkable Power Of
Dr.. 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 be-
trayed there is usually disturban of
the general health. The child shows list
lessness and inattention. Then it be-
comes 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. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills cure st. Vitus' dance, and
cure it SO thoroughly that no trace Of the
disease remains. Mrs. James Wilkie of
TOT Spruce street, Cherokee, Iowa, says:
81 was Of very nervous temperament
even when q child. As / grew to girl
hood, more and more of the work in our
family fell to me. At the same time
tried to keep up my studies ip school.
The strain was too great and at the age Of
fourteen / had to leave school, because Of
the rundown and nervous condition l
was in. l gradually grew worse, becOm-
ing extremely irritable and suffering ter
ribly from melancholy. 1t was first mo-
ticed that had st. Vitus' dance, when /
began to lose control of the muscles of
my face. The disease soon spread all
over my body and my head and arms
seemed to tremble constantly. / was un-
able to get any sleep or rest at night and
only once in a while during the day.
81 was in this condition for about a
year and dwindled away to almost moth
ing. Finally became so weak that 1
had to stay in bed all the time. Up to
this time had been under the care of
two doctors and as / became no better
gave up their medicine. After I had been
in bed about two months, my father
heard about DR.. Williams Pink Pills
from an old friend. He bought some at
once and 1 started using them, not ex-
pecting much benefit. I noticed very
soon that the pills were helping me and
that could sleep better. We all thought
this so wonderful that / was encouraged
to give them a good trial. I was soon
able to sleep like log, my appetite be-
came good and was more cheerful. Aft
er had been up while, felt like work
ing and did so.
81 was sick altogether about one and
one-half years and when 1 began to use
DIR. Williams Pink Pills / weighed less
than So pounds. gained weight rapid
ly while taking the pills and weighed
III pounds whep stopped using them.
/ was completely cured and have never
taken medicine for my nerves since. /
feel that / owe my life to DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and cannot express as would
like to how grateful feel for what they
have done for me-"
That DIR. Williams Pink Pills have
cured obstinate cases of st. vitus' dance
is the best evidence that they will cure all
lesser nervous disorders, because the prin-
ciple in the treatment of all nervous dis
eases is the same. Nervousness is a ques-
tion Of nutrition. Food for the nerves is
what is needed and the best nerve food in
the world is DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
They are sold by all druggists, or will
be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, SO
cents per box; six boxes for 81. so, by the
DR.. Williams Medicine Company, Schen-
ectady, n. Y.
