| SARATOGA, March For some time
past there have been reports here and
eleewhers In Saratoga county Of . most
soanArksbls-indeed. % remarkable q
to be niraeulous-cureo Of . most severe
ease Of looomotor ataxia. or creeping
paralysis, simply by tho use Of . popu-
lar remedy known ~ "Pink Pills for
Pale people" prepared and pat up by
tho DR.. Williams Medicine company,
4ornstown, N. Y. and Brockville. Ont
The story was to the effect that Mr..
Charles A. QUAINT, of Galway, who for
the last six or eight years has been a
great sufferer from creeping paralysis
and its attendant ills, and who had be-
como utterly powerless Of all self-help,
had. by the use of few boxes Of tho
Pink Pills for Pale People, been SO
fully restored to health as to be able
to walk about the street without the
aid of clutches. The fame Of this
wonderful, miraculous cure was 80
| great that the Evening Journal
reporter thought it worth his while to
60 to Galway to call on Mr.. QUAINT, to
learn from his lips, and from the obser-
walton and testimony of his neighbors,
II his alleged cure was fact or only
an unfounded rumor. And 50 he drove
to Galway and spent day and night
there in visiting Mr.. QUAINT, getting his
story and interviewing his neighbors
and fellow-townsmen It may be proper
to say that Galway is pretty little
village of about 400 people, de.
lightfully located near the center of the
town Of Galway, in Saratoga county. and
about seventeen miles from Saratoga
Springs Upon inquiry, the residence
of Mr.. Charles A. Crant was easily
found, for every BODY seemed to know
him, speak well of him and t. - over
flowing with surprise and satisfaction
at his wonderful cure and restoration
to the activities of enterprising citizen
ship, for Mr.. QUAINT was born in Galway
and had spent most of his life there.
Mr.. QUAINT was found at his pretty
home, on a pleasant street nearly OPP
posite the academy. In response
to a knock 1T tho door It was
opened by a man who, in reply to an
inquiry if Mr.. QUAINT lived there and
was at home, said: II am Mr.. QUAINT
Will you como IMP" After a little gen.
sral and preliminary conversation, and
after he had been apprised Of the object
for which the Journal reporter had
called upon him, he, at request, told
the story Of himself and of his sickness
and terrible sufferings, and of the in
ehectual treatment he had had, and OF
his 6pal cure by the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, and cheer
fully gave assent TO its use for publica-
ton. He said: "My name is Charles

ceptinR while travelling on business
and little while in Amsterdam, have
spent my whole life here. My wife is

eight years ago never had been sick
and was then in perfect health. was
fully SIX feet tall, weighed $50 pounds
and was very strong. For 10 yesn

and organ company and had to do. or
at least did do q great deal OF heavy
lifting, got my meals very irregularly
and slept in enough spare beds in coun-
try houses to freeze any ordinary mau
to death, or at least give him the
rheumatism. About eight years ago
began to feel distress in my stomach
and consulted several doctors about il.
They all said it was dyspepsia. and for
dyspepsia 1 was treated by various doc
tors in different places, and took all
the patent medicines I could hear OF
that claimed to be a cure for dyspepsia.
But I continued to grow gradually
worse for four years. Then began to
have pain in my back and legs and be-
came conscious that my legs were get
ting weak and my step unsteady. and
then I staggered when 1 walked.
Having received no benefit from
the use of patent medicines, and
feeling that was constantly growing
worse, then, upon advice. began the
use of electric belts, pads and all tho
c.:ay different kinds of electric appli-
ances could hear of, and Srrcct -

the fall Of 1888 the doctors advised
change of climate, so went to Atlanta,
Ga, and acted - agent for the Estey
Organ company. While there took .
thorough electric treatment, but 1t only
seemed to aggravate my disease. and the
only relief could get from the sharp
and distressing pains was to take NOR
phine. The pain was 50 intense Ut
times that it seemed as though could
not stand it., and almost longed for
death as the only certain relief. In
September of 1888 my legs gave out en-
