(Albany, N. Y. Journal.)
For some time past there nave been re-
ports here and elsewhere In Saratoga coun-
ty of a most remai kable-indeed, so remark
able as to be miraculOus-cure of a most Sc
we're case of lOcOmotor ~ataxia, or creeping
paralysis, simply by the use of a popular
remedy known as PINK Pills for Pale
People," prepared and put up by the DIR.
Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady,
n. Y, and BrOckville, Ont. The story was
to the effect thai Mr.. Chas. A. QUAINT, of
Galway, who for the last SIX or eight years
has been q great sufferer from creeping
paralysis and its attendant ills, and who
had become utterly powerlcss of all self
help, had, by the use of a few boxes of the
Pink Pill for Pale People, been so fully RE-
stored to health as to be able to walk about
the street without the and of crutches. The
fame of this wonderful, miraculous cure was
so great that the Evening Journal reporter
thought it worth his while to 90 to Galway
to call on QUAINT, learn from his lips and OBJ
servatiOn and testimony of his n~eighbOrs,
if his alleged cur, was a fact or only an I'M
founded rumOr. And So, he drove to Gal
way and spent the day and night there in
visiting MIR. QUAINT, getting his story n in
terviewing his neighbOrs and fell0w-tOwns-
men. Itmay be proper to say that Galway
is a pretty little village of about 400 people,
delightfully."- located near the center of the
town of Galway, in Saratoga county, and
about II miles from Saratoga Springs. Up
on inquiry, the residence of Mr.. Chas. A.
QUAINT was easily found, for every body
seemed to know him, speak well of him and
to be overlooking with surprise and s~atisfac-
ton at his wonderful cure and restoration to
the activities of enterprising citizenship, for
MIR. QUAINT was born in Galway and had
spent most of his life there. Mr.. QUAINT
was found at his pretty home, on a pleasant
street nearly opposite the academy. In re-
Spouse to a knock at the door it was OPP
ened by a man who in reply to an inquiry if
Mr.. QUAINT lived there and was at home,
said: IL am Mr.. QUAINT. Will you come
in?" After a little general and preliminary
conversation, and after he had been appraised
of the object for which the Journal reporter
had called upon him, he, at request, told
the story of himself and of his sickness and
terrible s~utferings, and of the Intellectual
treatment he had, and of his final cure
by the use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
pale people, and cheerfully gave assent to
its use for publication. He said: my
lame is Charles A. QUAINT. l an 81 years
old. l was born in the village and have
Y H. NtoIO - hClSs "1 NlS 10 "
native of Ontario. Up to about eight years
ago | had never been sick and was then in
perfect health. L was fully six feet tall,
weighed $50 pounds and was very strong.
For IL years l was travelling salesman for
a piano and organ company, and had to do,
or at least did do, a 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, Orat least
give him the rheumatism. About eight
years ago | began to feel distressed in my
stomach and consulted several doctors about
it. They all said it was dyspepsia, and for
dyspepsia | was treated by various doctors
in different places, and took all The patent
medicines | could here of that claimed to be
a cure for dyspepsia. But / continued TO
grow gradually worse for four years. Then
| began to have pains i'm my back and
became conscious that my legs were getting
weak and my step unsteady, and then L
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, began the use
of electric belts, pads and all the many diff
ferent kinds of electric appliances | could
hear of, and spent hundreds of dollars for
them. but they did mt no good. Here Mr..
QUAINT showed the Journal reporter an cleo
trio suit of underwear for which he paid
$124.) In the fall of 1858 the doctors advis-
ed 4 change of climate, so L went to Atlanta,
Ca, m acted as agent for Estey Organ
Co. While there | took a thorough electric
treatment, but it only seemed to aggravate
my disease, and the only relief l could get
from the sharp and distressing pains was
to take morphine. The pain was SO intense
at times that 1t seemed as thought l could
not stand it, and l almost lOnged for death
as the only certain relief. In September of
1888 my legs gave out entirely and my left
eye was drawn to one side, so that l had
double sight and was dizzy. My trouble so
affected my whole nervous system that l
had to give III business. Then l returned
to New York and to the Roosevelt Hospital,
where for four months l was treated by
specialists, and they pronounced my case
lOcOmOtOr ataxia and incurable. After /
had been under treatment by Prof. Starr
and DIR. Ware for four months, they told me
they had done all they could for me. Then
i went to New York Hospital on Fifteeth
street, where, upon examination, they said
/ was incurable and would not take me In.
At the Presbyterian hospital they examined
Inc and told me the same thing, In March,
1890, | was taken to st. Peters hospital, in
Albany, where Prof. IL. Ii. Hun frankly
told my wife my case was hopeless; that he
could do nothing for me and that she had
better take me back home and save my
money. But 1 wanted to make a trial of
Prof. Huns famous skill, and l remained
under his treatment for 9 weeks, but secured
no benefit. All this time l had been grow
ing worse. l had become entirely paralyZed
from my waist down and partly lost control
of my hands. The pain was terrible; my
legs felt as though they were freezing and
my stomach would not retain food, and l
fell away to 100 pounds. In the Albany
hospital they put II big burns on my back
one day with red hot irons. and after a few
days they put IA more burns on and treated
me with electricity, but 1 got worse rather
than BETTER; lost control Of my bowels
and water, and upon advice of the doctor,
who said there was no hope for me, | was
brought home, where it was thought that
death would soon come to relieve me of my
sufferings. Last September, while in this
helpless and suffering condition, a friend of
mine i'm Hamilton, Ont, called my attention
to the statement of one John Marshall
whose case had been similar to my own.
and who had been cured by use of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for pale people.
