To verify Mr.. Quant's statement our re-
porter few days ago, March 3lst. 1s99D
called on DR.. Allen Starr at his office, No.
% West Twenty-eighth ST., New York city.
DR.. Starr is house physician OF the Roose-
velt hospital, situated corner of Ninth
avenue and Fifty-ninth street. In reply to
inquiry he said he remembered the case of
Mr.. QUAINT very well, and treated him some,
but that he was chiefly treated and under
the more especial care of DR.. Ware. He
said he regarded this case as he did all cases
of locomotor ataxia as incurable. In order
that our reporter might get copy of the
history of the case of Mr.. QUAINT from the
hospital record he very courteously gave him
letter of which the following is a copy
DR.. M. A. Starr, % West Forty-eighth
street, office hours, 0 to IL a. M. New York,
March 3lst, 1892. DR.. Vought: II you
have any record of a locomotor ataxia by
name of QUAINT, who says he came to the
clinic or years ago, No. 14,037, of the o.
ID. Dept, Roosevelt, sent to me from Ware,
will you let the bearer know. If you have
no record send him to Roosevelt Hosp
Yours STARR.
By means of this letter access to the rec
ords was permitted aud transcript of the
history of Mr.. Quant's case made from them
as follows:
'No. 14,O37. Admitted September 10th,
1889. Charles A. QUAINT, aged 81 years. Born
U. ). Married. Hoboken."
"History of the case:-Dyspepsia for past
four or five years. About IA months partial
loss of power and numbness in lower ex-
tremites. Girdling sensation about abdo-
men. (November 29th 1885, not improved,
external strobismus of left eve and dilata-
tion of the left eye.) Some difficulty in pass
ing water at times; no headache but some
dizziness; alternate diarrhoea and constipa-
tion; partial ptosis past two weeks in left
eye.
'Ord. r. F. Bi pep. and So Ia"
These are the marked symptoms of n
severe case of locomotor ataxia. "And DR..
Starr said a case with such marked symp-
| toms could not be cured and QUAINT, who was
receiving treatment in the out-patient de-
partment, was given up as incurable."
There never was case recovered in the
world" said DR.. Starr. AMI then said:
'Dr. Ware can tell you more about the casa
| as QUAINT was under his more personal treat
ment. | am surprised, he said that the
man is alive, as / thought he must be dead
! long ago"
Our reporter found DR.. Edward Ware at
his office, No. l62 West Ninety-third street,
New York. He said; II have very distinct
recollections of the QUAINT case. 1t was o
very pronounced case. L treated him about
eight montns. This was in the early sum
mer of $780, l deemed him incurable and
! thought him dead before now. Imagine my
surprise when | received a 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 l am
glad the poor fellow is getting well, for his
was bad case and he was Il great sufferer"
DIR. Theodore r. Tuttle, of 3l9 West
Eighteenth street, to whom our reporter is
indebtei 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 incurable,
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 aud coniirmatory in-
vestigation in New York, our reporter,
Saturday, April 2d, 1892, visited st. Peters
Hospital, in Albany, corner of Albany and
Ferry streets. He had 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 the case of poor Mr.. QUAINT very dis
tinctly. Said she: at was a very distress
ing case and excited my sympathes much.
Poor fellow, he couldn't be cured and had to
go home in a terrible condition of helpless
ness and suffering" The house ply yscian, 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 10y DR..
Van Derveer who was then, 1892 at the
head of the hospital, and that his case being
deemed not possible OF cure, he left the
hospital and was taken 10 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 AMI
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 most miraculous cure OF dreadful

A further investigation revealed the fact
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not Il patent

generally understood, but are scientific
