Right Arm Paralyzed!
Saved from St. Vitus Dance.
"Our daughter, Blanche, now fif
teen yean of age, had been terribly
afflicted with nervousness, and had
lost the entire use of her right arm.
We feared Su Vitus dance, and tried
the best physicians, with no benefit.
She baa taken three bottles of Dr.
Miles' Nervine and has gained 31
pounds. Her nervousness and symp
toms of St. Vitus dance are entirely
gone, she attends school regularly,
and has recovered complete use oi
her arm, her appetite is splendid.
