CURED OF CHOREA.

Ho* ilolßg Lady of Da Page Was Freed fra* 81. Vitus* Dance. From the American, Jiewart, Ohio. Miss Francis E. Barber, daughter of Mr. Franklin C. Barber, of DuPage, 111., who is one of the best known citisens of Du Page, for the past year has been in a pitiful condition from chorea, commonly called St Vitus' dance. Miss Barber is a music teacher, and over-work and a highly nervous tevnoerament brought on the disease. The beat physicians were called, but they could do nothing for the young lady, and she got so bad and the spasms became so tierce at times that it often required three or four persons to hold her. The contortions of her face at such times were fearful to behold. While Miss Barber was thus suffering, with no seeming prospect of relief, the distracted father and mother heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and as a last resort they determined to try them on the daughter. After taking less than one box of the pills the spasms ceased and the twitching of the face became less and less violent. Before four boxes had been used all signs of St. Vitus’ dance had gone, her health was restored, and to-day she is one of jhe healthiest and rosiest girls in Du Page. In six months from the time Miss Barber began to take the pills she was able to resume her occupation as music teacher, and never felt the slightest symptoms of the old malady. The young lady is the niece of R. E. Barber, Esq., the wellknown lawyer of Joliet. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.. for 50 cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50
