or creeping paralysis, simply by the use
of a popular remedy knownas "Plnk
Pills for Pale People," prepared and
pat up by the DIR. Williams Medicine
Company, Morristown, N. Y, and
Brockville, Ont. The story was tothe
effect that Mr.. Chas. A. QUAINT, OF Gal
way, who for the last six or eight
years has been great sufferer from
creeping paralysis and it's attendant
ills, and who had become utterly pow
erless of all self-help, had, by the use
of a few boxes of the Pink Pills for
Pale People, been so fully restored to
health as tob be able to walk about the
street without the aid ofcrutches. The
fame of this wonderful, miraculous cure
was so great that the Evening Journ-
al reporter thought it worth his while
to 60 to Galway to call onM Mr.. QUAINT,
to learn from his lips, and from the
observation and testimony of his
neighbors, if his alleged cure was a
fact or only anunfounded rumor. And
so, he drove to Galway and spent o
day and o night there in visiting Mr..
QUAINT, getting his story and interview
ing his neighbors and fellow-towns-
men. 1t may be proper to say that
Galway is o. pretty little village of
about 400 people, delightfully."- located
near the centre ofthetown OF Galway,
in Saratoga county and about IL
miles from Saratoga Springs. Upon
inquiry, the residence OF Mr.. Charles
A. QUAINT was easily found, for every
body seemed to know him, speak well
of him and to be overlooking with sur
prise and satisfaction at his wonder
ful cure and restoration to the ac-
tivities 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 q pleasant
street nearly opposite the academy.
In response to a knock at the door it
was opened by u man who, in reply
to an inquiry ii Mr.. QUAINT lived there
and was at home, said: 81 am Mr..
QUAINT. Will you come in?" At
ter a little general and preliminary
conversation, and after he had been
appraised 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 suffer
ings, and OF the Intellectual treatment
he had had, and of his final cure by
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, and cheerfully
gave assent to it's use for pub
Iication. He said: "My name is
