ataxia, or creeping paralysis, simply by the
use Of a popular remedy known as Pink
Pills for Pale People, prepared and put up
nv the DIR. Williams Medicine Cornnany

The story was to the effect that Mr.. Chas,
A. QUAINT of Galway, who for the last six
or eight years has been great sufferer from
creeping paralysis and its attendant ills. and
who bad become utterly powerless Of All
self-he,p, had by the use ct few boxes OF
the Pink Pills for Pale People, been so fully
restored TO health as to be able to walk
about the street without the aid of crutches,
The fame Of this wonderful miraculous cure
was so great that the Evening journal re-
porter thought it worth his while to 90 to
GLiway to call on Mr.. QUAINT, TO learn from
his lips, and from the observation and testi-
mony of his neighbvre, IL his alleged curs
was fact OF only an unfounded rumor
And 20 he drove to Galway and spent a dav
and night there in visiting Mr. QUAINT,
getting his story and interviewing his
neighbors and felow-townsmen. Ii may be
proper to say that Galway is a pretty little
village Of about 400 people, delightfully."-
located near the centre of the town
of Galway, in Saratoga County. and
about IL miles from Saratoga Springs
Upon inquiry the residence OF MIR.
Charles A. quaint was easily found, for
everybody seemed to know him, speak well of
him, and to be overhowing with surprise and
satisfaction at his wonderful cure and restor-
alton TO the activities OF enterprising citi-
zenship, for Mr., QUAINT was born in Galway
and had spent most of his life there, Mr.
QUAINT was found at his pretty home. on n
pleasant street nearly opposite the academy
In response to a knock at the door it was
OPENED by man who, in reply to an inquiry
if Mr.. QUAINT lived there aud was at home.

After little general and preliminary CONVEX
sation, aud 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 su1erings, and OF the Intellectual
treatment he had had, and OK his final cure
by the use of Or. Williamss Pink Pills for
Pale People, and cheerfully gave assent to
its use for publication. He said: my name
is Charles A. QUAINT. ! am 81 years old.
was born in the village of Galway. and, ex-
cepting while travelling on business and a
little while in Amsterdam, have spent my
whole life here. My wife is a native Of
Ontario Up to about eight years ago had
never been sick and was then in perfect
health. | was fully six feet tall, weighed
$50 pounds and was very strong. For twelve
years was travelling salesman for a piano
and organ company and had to do, or at least
did do, great deal Of heavy lifting, got my
meals very irregularly and slept in enough
spare beds in country houses TO freeze any
ordinary man to death OF at least give him the
rheumatism. About eight years ago began
TO feel distressed in my stomach and con-
suited several doctors about it, They all
said it was dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia
was treated by various doctors in different
places, and took all the patent medicines
could hear of that claimed to be cure for
dyspepsia. Butt continued to grow grad
ually worse for four years. Then l began
to have pain in my back and legs and became
conscious that my legs were getting weak
and my step unsteady. and then staggered
when 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 the many different kinds OF
electric appliances could hear of, AMI spent
hundreds of dollars for them, but they did
me no good, Here Mr.. QUAINT showed the
journal reporter an electric suit of under
wear for which he paid sl24) In the fall of
1883 the doctors adviseda change of climate,
SO went TO Atlanta, Ca, and acted as agent
Tor the Estey Organ Company. While there
took a 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 so intense at times
that it seemed as though could not stand
II. and almost longed for death as the only
certain relief. In September of 1888 my
legs gave out entirely and my left eye was
drawn to one side so that | had
double sight and was dizzy. My
trouble so affected my whole nervous system
that had to give up business. Then | re
turned to New York and went to the Roose-
Welt hospital, where for four months | was
treated by specialists and they pronounced
my case locomotor ataxia and inctirable.
Alter had been under treatment by Prof.
Starr and Dr. Ware for four months they
told me they had done all they could for me.
Then l went to the New York hospital on
FIFTEENTH street, where, upon examination,
they said was incurable and would not take
me in. At the Presbyterian hospital they
examined me and told me the same thing
In March, 1899, was taken to st. Peters
hospital in Albany, where Prof. H. II. Hun
frankly told my wife my case was hopeless;
That he could do nothing for me and that
she had better take me back home and save
my money, But wanted to make a trial
OF Prof. Huns famous skill and | remained
under his treatment for nine weeks, but Sc
cured no benefit. All this time l had been
growing worse. | had become entirely
paralyEed from my waist down and had
partly lost control Of my hands. The pain
was terrible; my legs felt as though they
were freezing and my stomach would not re-
tain food, and | fell away to l2) pounds
In the Albany hospital they put IL big
burns on my back one day with red hot
irons, and after q few days they put ii
more burns ON and treated me with cleo
trleity, but got worse rather than better;
lost control OF my bowels and water, and
upon advice of the doctor, who said there
was no hope for me, | was brought home,
where it was thought that death would soon
come to relieve me Of my sufferings. Last
September, while in this helpless and suffer
ing condition, friend of mine in Hamilton,
Ont, called my attention to the statement
of one John Marshall whose case had been
similar to my own, aud who had been curet
by the use of DR.. Williams's Pink Pills for
Pale People.
I'm this case Mr.. Marshall, who is promi-
nent member of the Royal Templars OF
Temperance, had after four years OF con-
slant treatment by the most eminent Cana
dian physicians been pronounced Incurabie,
and was paid the $1,000 total disability claim
allowed by the order in such cases. Some
months after Mr. Marshall began course OF
treatment with DR.. Williams's Pink Pills,
and after taking some IS boxes was fully re-
stored to health.
II thought would try them, and my wife
sent for two boxes of the pills and | took
them according TO the directions given on
the wrapper ON each box. For the first few
days the cold baths were pretty severe, as
was SO very weak, but continued to follow
instructions as to taking the pills and treat
ment, and even before | had used up the
two boxes of pills began to feel beneficial
effects from them My pains were not SO
bad; / felt warmer; my head felt better;
my food began 10 relish and agree with me;
could straighten up; the feeling began TO
come back into my limbs; l began TO
be able TO get about on crutches; my eye
came back again as good as ever, and now,
after the use OF eight boxes Of the pills-at a
cost of only a. 00-see = i can, with the help
of a cane only walk all about the house and
yard, can saw wood, and on pleasant days l
walk down town. My stomach trouble Is
gone; he We gained 10 pounds, / feel ike

pect to be able to renew my organ and piano
agency. / cannot speak in too high terms of
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
as | know they saved my life after all the
doctors had given me up as incurable."
Other citizens of Galway, seeing the won
derful cure of Mr. QUAINT by the Pink Pills
for Pale People, are using them. Frederick
Sexton, a sufferer from rheumatism, said he
was finding great benefit from their use, and
Mr.. Schultz, who had suffered from chronic
dysentery for years, said he had taken two
boxes of the pills and was already cured.
Mr.. QUAINT had also tried Faith cure, with
| experts OF that treatment in Albany and
| Greenville, s. c., but with no beneficial re-
