Ware can tell you more about the case rs
QUAINT was under his more personal treat
ment | am SURPRISED" he said, shat the
man is alive, as thought ne must be dead
our reporter found Dr. Edward wsre az
his Office No 162 West Ninety-third street,
New York He said Il nave very distinct
recollections of the QUAINT case. II was a

"What do you think, doctor, was the
cause of his recovery

that they have cured him. At all events, l
am glad the poor fellow Is getting well, for
his was a bad case and he was great suf-

DR.. Theodore r. futile, No $40 West
Eighteenth street, 10 whom our reporter is
indebted for assisting courtesiess said of To-
comotor ataxia II have had several eases
of this disease in the course Of my practice,
/ will not saw that IL Is lncurable, hut
never knew of "A case to get we'll; but win
say IL is not deemed durable by any
remedies known TO the medical profession"
After this successful and confirmatory in
vestigation in New YORK, our reporter, Sat
urday April End 1892, visited st. Peters
hospital, in Albany, corner of Albany and
Ferry streets. He had courteous recep-
ton by Sister Mary Philomena, the sister
superior Of st. Peters hospital, and when
told the object of his visit, said she remem-
bered the case Of poor Mr.. QUAINT very dis
tinctly. 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 helplessness and suffering The house
physician, on consulting the records OF st
Peters hospital, said he found only that
Charles A. QUAINT entered the hospital
March 14th, 1890, was treated by DR.. Henry
Hun, assisted by DIR. 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 10
his home as he supposed TO die.
Such is the full history of this most re-
marka ole case of successful recovery from
heretofore supposed inourable disease,
and after all the doctors had given him up,
bv the simple use of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People Truly it is an inter-
esting story of most miraculous cure OF
dreadful disease by the simple use of this
popular remedy.
4 further investigation revealed the fact
that Dr.. Williams Pink Pills are not pat
I ent medicine IN the sense IN winch tuaJ
term is usually understood, but are scien-
ttic preparation successfully used in gen
eral practice for many years before being
offered to the public generally. They con
tain in a condensed form all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfalling specific for such dis.
eases as locomotor ataxia, partial paraly
sis, st. Vitus dance, sciatica, neuralgia
rheumatism, nervous headache, the after
effects of Ia grippe. palpitation OF the heart,
pale and sallOw compilations, that tired
feeling resulting from nervous prostration;
all diseases depending upon vitiated hui
mors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic
erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for
troubles peculiar to females, such az sup
pressions, Irregularities and all forms of
weakness. They build up the blood and re-
store the glow of health to pale or sallow
cheeks. In the case of men they effect
radical cure in all cases arising from men
tai worry, overwork or excesses OF what
ever nature.
On further inquiry the writer found that
these pills are manufactured by the DR..
Williams Medicine Company, Brockville,
Ontario, and Morristown, y. Y, and are
sold in boxes never in loose form by the
dozen or hundred at 80 cents box or six
boxes for e.. 30, and may be had of all drug
gsts or direct by mail from DR. Williams
Medicine Company, from either address.
The price at which these pills are sold
makes "A course Of treatment comparatively
inexpensive as compared with other RENE
dies or medical treatment
