The article was under the heading" IA Sara
toga Co. Miracle" and excited such wide
spread comment that another Albany paper

a thorough investigation of the statements
appearing in the Journals article. The
facts MS elected by the Express reporter
are given in the following article, which
appeared in that paper on April 10th, and
makes one Of :he most interesting stories
ever related:-
A few weeks ego there was published in
the Albany Evening Journal the story Of II
most rcmarkable-indeed so remarkable as
~ well justify the term "miraculous"
OF se:erc case Of loComotor ataxia, or
creeping paralysis; simply by the use Of
Pink Pills for Pale People, and, IN compli-
ance with instructions, an Express reporter
has been dcvotiug some time in n critical
Investigation Of the real facts OF the case.
The story OF the wonderful cure or
Charles a. QUAINT Of Galway. Saratoga
county, n. ", as first told in The Jour
nal, " has been copied into hundreds If not
thousands of other daily and weekly news
papers and has created such sensation
throughout the entire country that it was
deemed duty due all the people and es-
pccally the thousands Of similarly afflicted

"Thc Albany Journal" and copied into so
many other newspapers should, If true, be
verified; or, If false, exposed Us an imposi-
ton upon public credulity.
