After this successful and confirmatory in
vesligation in New York, our reporter. Sat-
urday April 2nd, 1892 visited st Peters
hospital, in Albany, corner of Albany aud
Ferry streets, He had courteous recep-
ton by Sister Mary Phiomena, the sister
superior of st, Peters hospital, and when
told the object of his visit, said she remem-
bcred the case of poor Mr.. QUAINT very dis
linctly, Said she: ut was very dis
treSsing case and excited my sympathies
much Poor fellow he couldn't be cured
and had to go home in terrible condition
of helplcssness and suffering' The house
physician, on consulting the records of st.
Peters hospital said he found only that
Charles A. Quant entered the hospital
March 14th, 1890, was treated by Dr. Henry
| Hun, assisted by Dr.. Van. Derveer, who was
then, 1890, at the head of the hospital, and
| that his case being deemed not possible of
cure, he left the hospital and was taken TO
his home as he supposed TO die.
| Such is the full history of this most re-
| markable case of successful recovery from
n heretofore supposed incurabe disease,
and after all the doctors had given him up,
by the simple use of Dr. Williams Pink
! Pills for Pale People. Truly it Is an inter
esting story of most miraculous cure Of q
dreadful disease by the simple use of this
| popular remedy
4 further investigation revealed the fact
that Dr. Williams Pink Pills are not pat
ent medicine in the sense in which thai
term is usually understood, but are scien
