Man. lee The Sufferer Restored to Health Through the Use of Dr. Wil. Hams' Pink Pills. St. Vitus dance a disease of the ner ves brought on by a morbid condition of the blood. It Is a common disease with children and attacks girls more frequently than boys, Irritability is frequently one of the first signs noted, The child frets it is quarrelsome, and does not sle.ep well. The jerky move- ments tint characterize the disease come n{ little, later, The patient becomes pale, lanquid and often constipated, The limbs and sometimes the whole body jerks spasmodically, and in sev- ere ewere eases the power of speech is affect- ed. Such a child should not be allowed, to study but should be kept quiet, given a nutritious diet, remain out of doors as much as. possible, and above,- all things given a course of Dr. Wilhelm Pink Pills to build up the blood and restore the shattered nerves, Without this treatment the trouble may become chronic and the patient u life-long suf- ferer. The value of Dr. Williams Pink Pills in cases of this kind is shown by the following statement by Mr, Frank J. Scriven, Acton, Ont., who says: "In January 1917, when I resided at 4111 - ton, Ont., my daughter Gertrude, then aged -.fourteen, had a bad attack of rheumatic fever, which left as its after effects a severe attack of St. Vitus dance. For weeks she was confined to her bed under the doctor's care, She was entirely helpless being unable to. even hold a spoon to feed herself, Fora time site lost the power of speech almost entirely and only with great dif- ficulty made herself understood, The twitching of her muscles was so bad it was painful to see her, After a long time and taking a lot of medicine, she seemed to improve, But she did not seem to get along as she ought to, In November, 1917, we removed to Acton and in January 1918, she was again confined to her bed with St. Vitus dance. She was again in a terrible state and quite helpless. She was under a doctor's care and while there was an improvement she was still very ner- vous did not look well and was always tired. In May .1918, we decided to try Dr, Williams Pink Pills, and see what they would do of Iyer She took them re- gularly according to directions and aft er taking several boxes'there was a de- cided improvement, After a fprther use of the pills she is now as healthy a girl as you would wish to see. She is fat, with a fine healthy color and is strong and lively, The neighbors to whom she is well known remark on the wonderful change in her appearance since taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Both her mother and myself are con- vinced that the pills have done her a world of good as she is now far healther then Nye at one time thought she ever would be." Fur all trouble due to poor blood and week nerves there is no other medicine can equal Dr. Williams Pink Pills. You can get these pills from any dealer in medicine or by mail, post paid, at 5o cents a box or six boxes for $2,50 from The Dr, Williams Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. Monuments of Bravery The government of Canada is now in possession of' eight sites in France and Flanders whereon memorials will be er- ected to commemorate the victories won by Canadian soldiers during the war with Germany. These sites have been acquired by the governments of France and Belguint and have been pre- sented to the people of Canade. They will be associated with greet battles which. will be known in (history under the following names: 1 St. Julien, a battle which Inas fought during the month of April 1.915 and also known as the second battle of rpres. . 2 The beak. of Passchendael, a battle which extended from the 22nd October to the 17th November, 1917, 3 The battle of Observatory Ridge, sometinmes known as the battle of St. Eloi, which extended. from May until.
