the more especial care OF Dr. Ware. lie said

was receiving treatment in the out-patient
department. was given up us incurable."
"There never was u case recovered in the
world" said DIR. starr And then said:
"Dr Ware can tell you more about the case,
| rs Mr.. QUAINT was under his more personal
treatment. am surprised he sad, "that
;he man Is alive, as L thought he must he

Imagine my surprise when received

ing Inc that lie was alive, was getting well
aud expected soon to loo fully recovered
"What do you think, doctor, was the
cause OF his recovery"
THAT is more than l know. QUAINT says

am glnd the poor fellow Is getting well, for
his was. II bad case and he was great
sufferer"
Or. Theodore II. futile, Of $40 West
Eighteenth street, TO whom our reporter Is
indebted for assisting courtesles, said OF
locOmotor ataXia: ~ have had several
cases OF this disease in the course OF my
practice. l will not say that 1t Is incurable,
but never knew OF q case to get well; but
l will say it is not deemed durable by any

bered the case OF poor Mr.. Qunt very dis
