AN ANCIENT CUSTOM.

From Republican Traveler, Arkansas CUg, Kav. * Pilgrimages to some shrine of St Vitos, to cure the disease known as St Vitus’ dance are no longer made. The modern way of treating this affliction is within reach of every household, as is shown by the experience of Karl A. Wagner, the 11-year-old son of George Wagner, of 515 9th street, Arkansas City, Kan. The father tells the story as follows: “Over a year ago,” he says, “Karl was taken with St Titus’ dance and continued to grow worse; goring five months he was under a physician’s care. His tongue became paralyzed and we could not understand a word he said. He became very tiun, lost the use of his right leg and seemed doomed to become a hopeless invalid. WO had about given np hope when Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills were recommended to my wife by a lady whose daughter had been cured of a similar affliction by the pills. ‘T bought a box of them at once and

soon notic e d a change for the better in Karl’s condition. 1/ was so well: pleased that I bought more of. them, and when he had taken five boxes the disease

“That was six months ago and there has been no return of the disease. The cure was effectual and permanent, and I feel satisfied that no other medicine could have produced so marvelous a result. We feel rejoiced over the restoration of our son, and cannot help but feel that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are the most remarkable medicine on the market.” No discovery of modern times has proved such a blessing to mankind as Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, invigorating the body, regulating the functions, they restore strength and health in the exhausted patient when every effort of the physician proves unavailing.

A Hopeless Invalid.
