SARATOGA, March 4th.-For some
time past there have been reports here
and elsewhere in Saratoga county ola
most markable-indeed, so remark
able as to be miraculous--cure OF q
most severe case OF lOcomoto or ataXia,
orcreeping paralysis, simply by the use
OF apopular remedy known as 'Pink
Pills Tor Pale People," prepared and
pat up by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Morrstown, N. ", and
Brockville, Ont. The story was to the
effect that Mr.. Chas. A. QUAINT, OF Gal
way, who for the last six or eight
years has been a great sufferer from
creeping para ysis and its attendant
ills, and who had become utterly pow
erless OF all self-heIp, had, by the use
OF a few boxes OF the Pink Pills for
Pale People, been so fully restored to
health as to be able to walk about the
street without the aid ofcrutches. The
lame OF this wonderful, miraculous cure
was SO great that the Evening Journ-
al reporter thought it worth his while
to go to Galway to call on Mr.. QUAINT,
to learn from his lips, and from the
observation and testimony OF his
neighbors, if his alleged cure was q
TACT or only an unfounded rumor. And
so, he drove to Galway and spent
day and night there in visiting Mr..
QUAINT, getting his story and interview
ing his ueishbors and fellow-towns-
men. 1t may be proper to say that
Galway is a pretty little village of
about 400 people, delightfully."- located
near the centre OF the town OF Galway,
i'll Saratoga county and about II
miles from Saratoga Springs. Upon
inquiry, the residence OF Mr.. Charles
A. QUAINT was easily found, for every
body seemed to know him, speak we'll
OF him and to be overllowing with sur
prise and satisfaction at his wonder
Jul cure and restoration to the ac-
tivities OF enterprisng citizen.
ship, for Mr.. QUAINT was born
in Galway and had spent most
OF his lie there. Mr.. QUAINT was found
at his pretty home, on q pleasant
street nearly opposite the academy.
In response to u knock at the door it
was opened by a man who, in reply
to an inquiry il Mr.. QUAINT lived there
and was at home, said: 81 am Mr..
QUAINT. Will you come in?" AZ
ter a little general and preliminary
conversation, and after he had been
apprised 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 suffer-
ings, and OF the Intellectual treatment
he had had, and OF his final cure by
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, and cheeriully
gave assent to its use for pub
lication. He said: "Iy name is
Charles A. QUAINT. am 81 years old.
Twas born in the village OF Galway,
and, excepting while travelling on
business and little while in Amster-
dam, have spent my whole life here:
My wife is a native of Ontario. Up
to about eight years ago | had never
been sick and was then in perfect
health. | was fully six feet tall, weigh
ed $50 pounds and was very strong.
For - years | was a travelling sales
man for a piano and organ company
and had to do, or at least did do, q
great deal of heavy lifting, got my
meals very lrregularly and slept in
enough spare beds i'll co -.ntry houses
to freeze any ordinary man to
death, or at least give him the
rheumatism. About eight years ago
| began to ferl distress in my stomach
and consulted several doctors about
it. They all said it was dyspepsia,
and for dyspepsia | WAS treated by
various doct ors in different places,
and took all the patent medicines |
could hear OF that claimed to be a cure
f<, II n
gro" gradually worse for four years.
Then | began to have pain in my back
and legs and became conscious that
my legs were get ting weak and my
step unsteady, and then l staggered
when ! walk. !. Having received no
benefit from the Use OF patent medi-
cines, and feeling that | was con-
stantly growing worse, then, upon
advice, BEGAN the use OF electric belts,
pads and all the many different kinds
OF electric appliances [ could hear
OF, and spent hundreds OF dollars
for them, but they lid me no
good. Here Mr.. QUAINT showed
the journal reporter an electric suit
OF underwear for which he paid 1924.
In the iall OF 1888 the doctors advised
change OF climate, SO | went to
Atlanta, Ga, and acted as agent for
the Estey Organ Company. While
there took a thorough electric treat
ment, but it only seemed to aggravate
my disease, and the only relief could
get from the sharp and distressing
pains was to take morphine. The
pain was so intense at times that it
seemed as though 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 had double sight and was dizzy.
! My trouble SO effected my whole rer-
| vous system that I had to give up
business. Then returned to New
York and went to the Roosevelt
hospital, where for four months 1 was
treated by specialists and they
pronounced my case locomotor
ataxia and incurable. After l had
been under treatment by Prof. Starr
and DR.. Ware for four months, they
told me they had done all they could
| for me. Then | went to the New
