After this successful aud confirmltory in

Saturday, April 81, 1892. visited 81. Feters

consulting the records Of st. Peters Hospital,
said he found only that Charles A. QUAINT

treated by Dr. Henry Hun, assisted by Or.
Van Derveer, who was then, 1892 at the
head Of the hospital, and that his case oelnS
deemed not possible OF cure, he lett ths

supposed to die.
markable case OF successful recovery from
heretofore supposed incurable disease, AMI
after ALI the doctors had given him up, by
the simple use Of DR.. Williams Pink Pll 5
for Pale People. Truly it is an interesting
tory of most miraculous cure OF dreadful
disease by the simple use OF this popular
remedy.
A further investigation revealed the fact
that DIR. Williams Pink Pills are not patent
medicine In the sense in which that term Is
generally understood, but are a scientific
preparation successfully used in general
practice for many years before being onerei
10 the public generally. They contain In
condensed form all the clements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are an I'M
failing specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxis, partial paralysis, st. Vitus dance
sciatica, neuralgia. rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after effects OF la grippe,
palpitation OF the heart, pale and sallow
complications that tired feeling resulting
from nervous prostration; all diseases
depending upon Initiated humors in the blood,
such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, exc.
They are also specific for troubles peculiar
to females, such as suppressions lrregularl-

they effect a radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, over-work or excuses OF
whatever nature.
On further inquiry the writer found that
these pills are manufactured by the Dr.
Williams Meiicine Company, Rockville,
Ontario, and MorristowD, N. Y, and are
sold in boxes (nsver in loose form by the
dozen or hundred) at 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for g. 80, and may be had OF all drug
eists or direct by mail from DR.. Williams
Medicine Company. from either address.
The price at which these pills are sold makes

pensive as compared with other remedies or
