Albany, n. Y. Journal, March 4th.
SARATOGA, March 4th.-For some
time past there have been reports here
and elsewhere in Saratoga county of q
most remarkable so remark
able as to be miraculous-cur Of a
most severe case OF locomotor ataxia,
orcreeping paralysis, simply by the use
OF aPopular remedy known as '.Pink
Pills for Pale People prepared and
pat up by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Morristown, N. Y, and
Brockville, Ont. The story was the
effect that Mr.. Chas. A. QUAINT, OF Gal
way, who for the last six or eight
years has been a. great sufferer from
creeping paralysis and it's attendant
ills, and who had become utterly pow
erless Of all f-help, had, by the use
OF a 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 ofcrutches. The
fame OF this wonderful, miraculous cure
was so great that the Evening Journ-
al reporter thought it worth his while
to go to Galway to call onMr. QUAINT,
to learn from his lips, and from the
observation and testimony OF his
neighbours, if his alleged cure was a
fact or only anunfoundedr umor. And
SO, he drove to Galway and spent a
day and a night there in visiting Mr..
QUAINT, getting his story and interview
ing his neighbours and fellow-towns-
men. 1t may be proper to say that
Galway is a pretty little village OF
about 400 people, delightfully."- located
near the centre ofthe town OF Galway,
IN Saratoga county and about IT
miles from Saratoga Springs. Upon
inquiry, the residence of Mr.. Charles
A. QUAINT was easily found, for every
body seemed to know him, speak well
OF him and to beoverhowing with sur
prise and satisfaction at his wonder
ful cure and restoration to the ac-
tivities OF enterprising citizen.

in Galway and had spent most
OF his life there. MIR. QUAINT was found
at his pretty home, on a pleasant
street nearly opposite the academy.

to an inquiry if Mr.. QUAINT lived there
and was at home, said: II am Mr..

ter a little general and preliminary
conversation, and after he had been
apprised Of the object for which the
Journal reporter had called upon him,
he, atrequest, told the story of himself
and OF his sickness and terrible suffer-
ings, and Of the Intellectual treatment
he had had, and OF his final cure by
the use Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, and cheerfully
gave assent to it's use for pub
