She Was First Attacked With La Grippe, the After Effects Resulting in St. Vitus' Dance -Friends Despaired of Her Re- covery. From the Acadien, Wolfyille, N. S. The mails from Wolfville to Gaspereau aro carried every day by an official who is noted for his willingness to accommodate and the punctuality with which he dis- charges his duties. His name is Mr. Mere rifler Cleveland, and his home is in Gasper - eau, where heresides with his wife and grand -daughter, Miss Lizzie May Cleveland, a bright girl of fifteen years. A few months age the health of their grand-daughterwas a seurce of very great anxiety to Mr. •and Mrs. Cleveland, and the neighbors who learned of the physical condition of the lit- tle girl gravely shook their heads and said to themselves that the fears of the fond grand -parents were by no means groundless. Wilms the news reached the ears of an Aria- dien man, a short time ago that the health of Mi83 Cleveland had been restored, he ha dened to interview Mr. Cleveland as to the facts of the case. When he explained his errand both Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland ap- peared only too eager to give him the in- formation sought, and it is in accordance with their wishes that we give to the pith- lic the facts ( f this remarkable cure. Early in December ,1898,M isfeCleveland was taken ill wi•11 a severe attack of la grippe, and fearE of her recovery were entertained. Car 'al nursing, however, brought her thr • gh title malady, but it left her system in e completely run-down condition. This shnwed itself principally in a weakness of the nerves. In January symptoms of St. Vitale' dance began to show themselVes. At first these were not very prominent, but it was not loug before she was rendered alto- gether helpless by this terrible malady. In a short time she lost all contol over the msvements of her hands and feet. For weeks she had to be carried from room to mem, and was unable to feed herself. Her grand -parents, naturally, became very much alarmed, and having tried other remediea without effect, det4mined to give Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills a trial. Developments showed that their c nfidenee was not mis- placed. When thr e boxes had been used the condition of the patient had improved considerably. Theii Mr. Cleveland bought six boxes more, and continued their uae as before. The sufferer rapidly began to re- cover. When she had consumed the fifth box Mrs. Cleveland reduced the dose to one pill a day, and by the time the sixth box was gene a complete cure was effected. Miss Cleveland is now as vigorous and healthy as could be desired. Her grand- parents are persuaded that Dr. Williame' Pink Ms are alone responsible for her cure, and are devoutly thankful for the results which, under Providence, they have pro- duced.
