few weeks ago an article appeared In
this paper copied from the Albany n. Y,
journal, giving the particulars OF one OF
the most remarkable cures OF the Nineteenth
century. Tie article was under the head
ing "a Saratoga County Miracle" and ex.
cited such widespread comment tina. an.
other Albany paper-the Express detailed
reporter to make thorough investiga-
Ton OF the statements appearing in the
Journals article. The facts rs elected by
inc Express reporter are given IN the fol-
lowing article, which appeared In that
paper on April 10, and makes one OF the
most interesting stories ever related:
| A few weeks ago there was published in
the Albany Evening journal the story OF a
most remarkable--indeed SO remarkable as
to we'll justify the term miraculous
cure OF a severe 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 deyotlng some time In critical
| investigation OF the real facts of the case.
The story Of the wonderful euro OF
| Charles a. QUAINT Of Galway, Saratoga
county, N. V as first told in "The Journal"
has been copied into hundreds II not thou
sands OF other daily and weekly news
| papers, and has created such a sensation
throughout the entire country that 1t was
deemed duty due all the people and
especially the thousands OF similarly
! afflicted, that the statements OF the case rs
made In "fho Albany journal" and copied
into so many other newspapers should, il
true, be verified; or, IL false. exposed as all
imposition upon public credulty.
The result OF the Express reporters in
vestigtons authorizes him IN saying that
~ arla hta
locomolor ataxia by the use of Pink Pills
for Pal, People, popular remedy pre-
pared and put up by the DIR. Williams
Medicine company, Morrlstown, N. Y, and
Brockville, Ont, is TRUE and that all its
statements are not only justified but veri-
fed by the fuller development Of the fur
ther facts OF the case.
Perhaps the readers of the Express arc
not all OF them fully familiar with the de-
tails Of this miraculous restoration to health
OF man who after months of treatment by
the most skillful doctors in two OF the best
hospitals i'll the State of New York-the
Roosevelt hospital i'll New York city and
st. Peters hospital in Albany-was dis
missed from each as incurable. and because
The case was deemed incurable, the man
was denied admission into several others to
which application was made in his behalf.
The story us I'D by Mr.. QUAINT himself and
puoiisncu IN INC Albany journal, Is as fol-
lows:
"My name is Charles A. QUAINT. am 81
years old. | was born in tie village OF
Galway. and excepting when travelling OH
business and little while in Amsterdam,
have spent my whole life here. Up to
about eight years ago bad never been sick
and was then in perfect health. l was fully
six feet tall, weighed 1870 pounds and was
very strong. For twelve years | was tray

pany, and had to do or at least did do a
great deal OF heavy lifting, got my meals
very irregularly and slept in enough spare
bcds' in country houses to freeze

cral doctors about it. They all said it was
dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia was treated
by several doctors in different places, and
took all the patent medicines | could hear
Of that claimed to be cure for dyspepsia.
But continued to grow gradually worse
for four years. Then 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 |

and feeling that l was constantly
growing worse. | then, upon advice.

hnces couiu near OF. anu spent hundreds
of dollars for them. but they did me no
good. Qlere Mr.. QUAINT showed the Jour-
nal reporter an electric suit Of underwear,
for which be paid $I24.l In the fall of 1888
the doctors advised n change of climate SO
l went to Atlanta, Ga, and acted as agent
for The Estey Organ Company. While there

1t only seemed to aggravate my disease,
and the only relief | could get from the
sharp and distressing pains was to take
morphine. The pain was 30 intense ut

1883 my legs gave out entirely aud 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 | returned
hospital. where for four months |
was treated by SPECIALISTS AMI they
pronounced my case locomotor ataXla
and incurable. After ! had been
under treatment by Prof. Starr and DIR.
Ware for four months, they told me they
had done all they could for me. Then /
went 10 the New York hospital on Fiji
teenth street. where, upon examination,
they said was incurable and would not
take me In. At the esbyterian hospital
they examined Inc and told me the same
thing. In March, 1870, was taken 10 st.
Peters hospital In Albany, where Prof. ii.
ii. Hun frankly told my wife my case was
hopeless; that be could do nothing for me |
and that she had better take me back home
and save my money. But | wanted to
make trial of Prof. Huns famous skill |
and remained under his treatment for |
niue weeks, but secured no benefit. All |
this time | had been growing worse. l |
had become entirely paralyzed from nv |
waist down and had partly lost control OF |
my hands. The pain was terrible; nv legs
felt as though they were freezing and my |
o. omach would not retain food, and | fell |
away 10 120 pounds. In the Albany hos
pital they put II big burns on my back one
day with red hot irons aud after a few days
they put IL more burns on and treated me
with electricity, but | got worse rather

brought home, where 1t was thought that
death would soon come to relieve me of nv
