the most remarkable cures of the Nineteenth

ton Of the statements appearing in the

the Express reporter are given in the fol-

paper on April 16. and makes one of the
most interestlng stories ever related:
A few weeks Ago there was published in
the Albany Evening Journal the story Of q
most emarkable-indeed so remarkable as
to well justify the term 'tmiraculous"-
cure Of 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 devoting some time in critical
Investigation of the real facts Of the case.
The story Of the wonderful cure Of
Charles A. QUAINT of Galway Saratoga
county, y, Y, as FIRST told in "Tne Journal"
has been copied into hundreds if not thou.
sands of other daily and weekly news
papers, and has created such q sensation
throughout the entire country that it was
deemed a duty due all the people and
especially the thousands Of similarly
afflicted, that the statements of the case as
made in "The Albany Journal and copied
into so many other newspapers should, if
true, be verified; or, if false, exposed as an
imposition upon public credulity.
The result Of the Express reporters in
vestigtions authorizes him in saying that
the story of Charles A. Quant's cure of
locomOtor ataXia by the use of Pink Pills
Tor Pale People, popular remedy pre-
pared and put UP by the DIR. Williams
Medicine company, Morrlstown, n. Y, and
BrockviIle, Ont, Is TRUE. and that all its
statements are not only iustiried but veri-
fed by the fuller development of the fur
Their facts of the case.
Perhaps the readers of the Express are
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 in the State of New York-the
Roosevelt hospital in New York city and
st. Peters hospital in Albany-was dis
missed from each rs 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 as told by Mr.. QUAINT himself and
published in the Albany journal, is as fol-
lows:
"My name is Charles A. QUAINT. 1 am 81
years old. l was born in the village of
Galway, and excepting when travelling on
business and little while in Amsterdam,
have spent my whole life here. Up to
about eight years ago had never been sick
and was then in perfect health. l was fully
Xix feet tall, weighed $50 pounds, and was
very strong. For twelve years l was trav-

great deal of heavy lifting, got my meals
very irregularly and slept in enough spare
beds in country houses to freeze
any ordinary man to death. or
ut least give him the rheumat-
distress in my stomach, and consulted sew
eral doctors about it. They all said it was
dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia l was treated
by several doctors in different places, and
took all the patent medicines l could hear
pt that claimed to be cure for dyspepsia.
But continued to grow gradually worse
for four years. Then began to have pain
that my legs were getting weak and my
step unsteady. and then staggered when
walked. Having received no benefit
from the use of patent medicines
and feeling that l was constantly
growing worse. l then. upon advice,

ances could hear OF, and spent hundreds
of dollars for them, but they did me no
good. (Here Mr.. QUAINT showed the Jour-
nal reporter an electric suit of underwear,
for which he paid $l24.) In the fall of 1883
the doctors advised change Of climate, SO
went to Atlanta, Ga. and acted as agent
for the Estey Organ Company. While there
