\ _ are: then described, some NERVOUS CHILDREN - "me Trouble is Often' Really 8 AGS Vitus Dance--Do Wot Neglect It In severe anything or feed Vitus daime is cured: by building up the blood. The most successful treatment is to remove the -- child from all mental excitement, stop whoo] work and give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These Pills renew the mh supply, strengthen the nerves, and restore the child to perfect health. Here is proof of their power to cure. Mrs. Geo. A. MacDonald, Harrington, N. 8., pays: "My son was attacked by St. Vitus dance; at the outset his muscles would twitch and his step was weak = jerky. We called in a doctor who treated him, but not- withstanding he continued to grow worse and at last grew so bad that he could not hold a'cup in his hand, while his head constantly twitched, and his speech became rather indistinct. At this juncture ' | saw in a paper the cure of a boy from similar trouble through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. We at once sent for a supply, and in a lew weeks after he began their use there was considerable improve- ment, and it was not .long after this before he was completely cured, and has never had a symp- tom of the trouble since. I am con- vinced that there is no medicine like Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the cure of St. Vitus dance. If your dealer does not keep Dr. Williams' Pink Pills you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box or 3a boxes for $2.50 by writing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. YHE BACON HOG.
