Mr.. QUAINT very well, and treated him soma
but that he was chiefly treated ami undo
the more especial care OF DR.. Ware. Ii,
said he regarded this case as he did all cases
of locomotor ataxia as incurable. In order

These are the marked symptoms OF
severe case of locomotor ataxla. "And Dr.
Starr said case with such marked symp-
| toms could not be cured and QUAINT, who was
! receiving treatment in the out-patient de-
r
~rhere never was a case recovered III the
world,n said Dr. Starr. And then said:
''Dr. Ware can tell you more about the case
as QUAINT was under his more personal treat
ment. | am surprised he said that the
man is alive, as l thought he must he dead
/ long ago."
Our reporter found DIR. Edward Ware at
his office, No. 1862 West Ninety-third street,
New York. He said: II have very distinct
recolections of the QUAINT case, 1t was a
very pronounced case. treated him about
| eight months. This was in the early sum
mer of 1890. l deemed him incurable, and
thought him dead before now. Imagine my
surprise when | received letter from him
about two weeks ago telling me that he was
alive, was getting well and expected soon to
| be fully recovered"
What do you think, doctor, was the
cause of his recovery"
That is more than | know. QUAINT says
| he has been taking some sort of pills and that
they have cured him. At all events, ! am
glad the poor fellow is getting well. for his
| was a bad case and he was great sufferer"
DR.. Theodore R. Tuttle of 3l9 West
Eighteenth street. to whom our reporter is
indebted for assisting courtesies, said OF
locomotor ataxia; II have had several
cases of this disease in the course OF my
practice. L will not say that it IS incurabie,
but never knew of a case to get well; but
will say it is not deemed durable by any
remedies known to the medical profession"
After this successful and confirmatory in-
vestigation in New York, our reporter,
Saturday, April I'd 1892, visited St. Peters
Hospital, in Albany, corner OF Albany and
Ferry streets. He had a courteous reception
by Sister Mary Philomena, the sister
superior of ST. Peters Hospital, and when
told of the object of his visit, said she remem-
bered tue case of poor Mr.. QUAINT very dis
tinctly Said she: ut was a very distress
ing case and excited my sympathies much

90 home in a terrible condition of helpless
ness and suffering The house physician, on
consulting the records of st. Peters Hospital,
said he found only that Charles A. QUAINT
entered the hospital March 14th, 1890, was
treated by DR.. Henry Hun, assisted by DR..
Van Derveer, who was them 1890, at the
head of the hospital, and that his case being
deemed not possible of cure, he left the
hospital and was taken to his home, as he
supposed to die.
Such is the full history of this most re-
markable case OF successful recovery from a
heretofore supposed incurable disease, and
after all the doctors had given him up by
the simple use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. Truly it is an interesting
story of a most miraculous cure OF a dreadful
disease by the simple use of this popular

medicine in the sense in which that term Il
, generally understood, but are a scientific
preparation successfully used in genera
