to the effect that Mr. Chas A. Qnsnt of
Galway. who for the last six or eight years
has been great sufferer from creeping
paralysis and its attendant ills, and who
had become utterly powerless of all self
help. had, by the use of few boxes of the
Pink Pills for Pale People. been so fully re-
stored to health as to be able to walk about
the street without the aid of crutches. The
fame of this wonderful. miraculous cure
was SO great that tie Erening Journal re-

Galway 10 call on Mr.. Quaut to learn from
bis lips and from the observation and testi-
mony OF his neighbors IL his alleged cure
was TACT or only an unfoUnded rumor.
And so he drove to Galway and spent day

village of about 400 people, delightfully."-

and terrible sufferlngs. and of the in
etectual treatment he mad had and of
his final cure by the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills Tor Pale People, and cheerfully
gave assent TO It's use for publication. He
said: MY name is Charles a. QUAINT | am
81 years old, was born in the village and
have spent my whole life here. NV wife is
native Of Ontario. Up to about eli b years
ago had never been sick and was then in
perfect health. / was fully six feet tall,
weighed $50 pounds. and was very strong
For II years l was travelling salesman for
plano and organ company, and had TO do,
or at least did do, great deal of heavy lift
ing, got my meals very irTegularly aud
slept In enough spare beds in country
houses to freeze an ordinary man to death,
or at least give him the rheumatism. About
eight years ago began TO feel distress in my
stomach and consulted several doctors about
IL. They all said IL was dyspepsia and for
dyspepsia | was treated by various doctors
IN different places. and took all the patent
medicines i could hear OF that claimed to be
cure for dyspepsia. But | continued to
grow gradually worse for four years. Then
began to have pains In my back and legs
and became conscious that my legs were get
ting weak and my step unsteady, and then
staggered when l walked. Having received
no benefit from the use OF patent medicines,
and feeling that l was constantly growing
worse, then, upon advice, began the use Of
electric belts, pads and all the many differ
ent kinds of electric appliances | could hear
of, and spent hundreds of dollars for them
but they did me no good. (Here Mr.. QUAINT
showed the Journal reporter an electric suit
OF underwear for which he paid SGD. In
the fall OF 1888 the doctors advised a change
of climate. so | went 10 Atlanta, Ga, and
acted as agent for the Es;oy Organ Com
pany. While there took n thorough cleo
trio treatment. but II only seemed to agra
vate 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 though | could
not stand IT, and / almost longed for death
as the only certain relief In September of
1883 my legs gave out entirely and my left
eye was drawn 10 one side, so that | had
double sight and was dizzy. Ny trouble so
affected my whole nervous system that
had to give up business. Then / returned
to New York and went to the Roosevelt
Hospital, where for four months / was
treated by specialists, and they pronounced
my case locomotor ataxia, and iucurable
After had been under treatment by Prof
Starr and DR.. Ware for four months they
told mo they had done all they could for
me. Then i went 10 the New York Hospital
on Fifteenth street. where upon examina-
ton, they said l was incurable, and would
not take me in. At the Presbyterian Hos
pital they examined me and told me the
same thing. In March, 1890, was taken TO
ST. Peters Hospital. in Albany, where Prof.
III. III. Hun frankly told my wife nv case
was hopeless; that he could do nothing for
me, and that she had better take me back
home and save my money But wanted 10
make a trial of Prof. Huns famous skill.
and | remained under his treatment for nine
weeks, but secured no benefit. All this time
l had been growing worse. / had become
entirely paralyzed from my waist down and
had 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. 10 the Albany hospital they put
IL big burns on my back one day with red
hot irons, and alter few days they put IA
more burns on and treated me with cleo
tricity, but 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 1t was thought that death would soon
come to relieve me of my sufferings. Last
September, while in this helpless and suf-
feriDg condition, friend of mine in Hamil-
ton, Ont, called my attention TO the state
ment Of one John Marshall, whose case had
been similar 10 my own, and who had been
cured by the use Of DR.. Williams Pink pills
for Pale People
I'm this case Mr. Marshall, who IL nromi-
nent member OF the Royal Tempiars of
Temperance, had after four years Of con-
slant treatment by the most eminent Cana
dian physicians been pronounced incurahle
and was paid the $1,000 total disability claim
allowed by the oToer in such cases SEINE
months after Mr.. Marshall began a conrse
OF treatment with DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
