SARATOGA, March 4th. - For some |
time past there have been reports here !
and elsewhere in Saratoga county of q
most remarkable indeed, SO remark
able as to be miraculous-cure of most |
severe case of locomotor ataxia, or creep
ing paralysis, simply by the use OF q
popular remedy known as Pink Pi'ls
for Pale People" prepared and put up
by the DIR. Williams Medicine Company,
Morristown, N. Y, and Brockville. Ont.
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 had become ut
terly powerless of all self-help, had, by
the use of 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, miracu-
lous cure was so great that the Evening
Journal reporter thought it worth his
while to GO to Galway to call on Mr..
QUAINT to learn from his lips and from
the observation and testimony OF his
neighbors, if his alleged cure was
fact or only an unfounded rumor. And
so he drove to Galway ana spent day
| and night there in visiting Mr.. QUAINT,
getting his story and interviewing ms
neighbors and fellow-townsmen. IL
may be proper to say that Galway is
pretty little village of about 400 people,
delightfully."- located near the center

| county, and about II miles from Sara
toga Springs Upon inquiry the resi-
dence OF Mr.. Charles A. QUAINT was
easily found, for eve ry body seemed to
know him, speak we'll of him, and be
OVERLOOKING with surprise and satisfac'
| ton Mt his wonderful cure and rcstora-
ton to the activities of enterprising cit
izepship, for Mr.. QUAINT was born in
Galway and had spent most OF his
life there. Mr. QUAINT was found
Mt his pretty home, on n pleasant str Get
nearly opposite the academy. In re-
Spouse to a knock at the door 1t was
opened by a man who, in reply to an
