VITUS DANCE. MUST BE TREATED THROUGH THE BLOOD AND NERVES. One of the Worst Cases on Record Cured Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. St. Vitus dance is a nervous dis- ease chiefly alllicting children. There one are a number of signs by w-hich it may be detected such as a twitching of the muscles of the face, shaky hands, or a Jerky motion of the arms, a trembling or a drugging of the legs, irritability and restlessness. St. Vitus dance is caused by disor- dered nerves' and blood â€" that is why U is always cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The pills All the veins with pure, rich red blood, which in turn soothes and braces the nerves, making the s-'uncrer well. Mrs. Lufl- man, Poucher's Mills, Ont., tells ^Villiains' Pink Pills cured her daughter, Louise. "I do not think it possible," says Mrs. I^uff- nmn, "that an.vone could be afllicted with a more severe form of St. Vitus dance than that which attacked my daughter. Her arms and legs would twitch and .ierk, her face was drawn, and finally her left side became numb us though paralyzed. Her s])eech became thick and indistinct and she could neither stand still nor sit down. Two doctors attended her, but gave her no benefit. The last doctor who attended her told me she would never get better. It was at this discouraging time we decided to give her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After taking two bo.\os we could see an improvement; she could sleep bet- ter and the spasms were less severe. From that on she steadily grew bet- ter, and was as strong and healthy a girl as you will find anywhere, and she has not had the least symptom •HT*.

Bare floors are preferable to car- pet lor the kitchen during the sum- mer months, for they are easier to keep clean. It is a positive rest to one's eyes to see a room without the dust catchers, once considered so ornamental, with only the necessary furniture and bare floors. Keep out the flies with screens, and let the air and sunshine in. I'aint or oil the floors, or if they are too rough to look well uncovered, get oil cloth or linoleum, but do not buy a woolen cariiet for the dining room. A few ndnutes' work every few day.s will sullice to keep them clean and free from dust. Neither lino- leum or oilcloth should be scrubbed with a brush or mopiied with hot water. Heat the water until luke- warm and dissolve enough Gold Dust in it to make a gorxl suds. Now wash the oilcloth, changing the wa- ter frequently ar; it grows dark. Nothing causes it to grow ilull and grimy so quickly as washing with insuilicienl or diiiy water. Mop a small place, then rinse with clear wn{or, and wifie dry. Proceed in (hL-J way until the floor is clean. Oiled or painted floors are treated in the same way. Carrington, Lord Charles Beresford and Ml-.

I'o His Majesty's credit must also be placed his great activity of brain and body, an abstemiousness in the way of "strong waters" which can almost be clas.sied as "emi-toototal- ism, ' and an ability to undergo great fatigue without any depression of spirits. These prcveminently healthy habits are in a great degree the leason why the King can bo ariducol to-day as an admirable example of the ''sur- vival of the fittest." PLEASURE IN SOCIETY.
