AVOID St. VITuS' DANCE

Physicians are baffled by St. Vitus'
dance because it is q nervous disease in
which they can find nothing actually
wrong with the nervous system.
Long before the child becomes awkward
and begins dropping things there is q
period in which the appetite is tickle and
the patient is tired and listless. The
jerking movements characteristic OF the
disease come much later.
In the early stages good tonic for the
blood and nerves will 60 far toward pre-
venting the development of the disease.
But the tonic must be free from alcohol
and opiates for these make the nervous
condition worse. When your child ap-
pears listless, prefers to sit and read
rather than go out and play and requires
entirely too much time to get his or her
lessons, give a course of treatment with
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They cannot
do harm, the system is sure to be bene-
flied and you may avoid serious trouble.
These pills build up the blood, nourish
the starved nerves and improve the gen.
eral health.
Your own druggist sells DR.. williams

THE NEWEST REr1EDY
FOR
eackaehe, Rheumatism and Dropsy.

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles
bring misery to many. When the kidneys
are weak or diseased, these natural filters
do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and
the poisons are carried to oil parts Of the
body. There follow depression, aches
and pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness ard rheu-
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obstin'
ate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones. When
the uric acid affects the muscles and
