These are the marked symptoms OF a
severe case Of locomotOr ataXia. "And DR..

was receiving treatment in the Out-patient

"Ihere never was Il case recovered in the
world" said DR.. Starr. And then said:
CDR. Ware can tell you more about the case,
as Mr.. QUAINT was under his more personal
treatment. AM surprised" he SAID, 'rhat

am glad the poor fellow is getting well, for
his was bad case and he was u great
sufferer"
DR.. Theodore r. futile, Of $40 West

indebted for assisting courtesies, said of

practice. will not say that it is incurable
but never knew OF case to get we'll; but
l will say 1t is not deemed durable by any
remedies known to the medical profession"
After the successful and c0nfrmatory in

this popular remedy.
A further investigation revealed the fact
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not a
patent medicine in the sense in which that
term is usually understood, but are scIen-
