BY means of this letter access TO the rec

history OF MIR. Quant's case made from them
as follows:-
"No. I4,Os7. Admitted September 10th,
1889, Charles A. QUAINT, aged 81 years. Born
U. s. Married. Hoboken."
History of the case:-Dyspepsia for past
four or five years. About IA months

dilation of the left eye Some difficulty in
passing water at times; no headache but
some dizziness: alternate diarrhoea and
constipation; partial ptosis past two weeks
in left eye
"Ord K F. Bi pep. and soda"
These are the marked symptoms of Sc
we're case of locomOtor ataxia "And DIR.
Starr said q case with such marked symp-
toms could not be cured and QUAINT who
was receiving treatment in the out patient
department, was given up rs incurable."
There never was a case recovered In the
world" said DIR. Starr. And then said: "Dr.
Ware can tell YOU more about the case as
Quant was under his more personal treat
ment. l am surprised" he said. THAT the
man is alive, as thought he must be dead
long ago.
Our reporter found Dr. Edward Ware at
his Office, No 1862 West Ninetv-third street,
New York He said: Il have very distinct
recOllections of the QUAINT case. 1t was a
very pronounced case. l treated him about
eight months. This was in the early sum-
NOR of ISll I doomed him iucnrahln and
thought him dead before now. Imagine my
surprise when | received a letter from MIN
about two weeks ago telling me that he was
alive was getting well and expected soon
to be fully recovered"
What do you think, doctor, was the
cause of his recoveryf'
THAT is more than l know. QUAINT says
he has been taking some sort of pills and
that they have cured him. At all events, l
Am glad the poor fellow is getting well, for
his was bad case and he was great suf- !
ferer.''
Dr. Theodore r. Tuttle, No. 319 West |
street, to whom our reporter is /
for assisting courtesies, said of To- |
romotor ataxia: Il have had several cases |
Of this disease in the course of my practice. |
will not say that it is incurable, hut |
never knew of Il case TO get well: but will |
say it is rot deemed durable by any |
known to the medical profession
After this successful and cOntirmatory in |
yestigation in New York, our reporter, Sat |
lrday April 2nd, 1892, visited St Peters |
hospital. in Albany, corner of Albany and |
Ferry streets. He had Il courteous recep- |

Of st. Peters hospital, and when |

Such Is the full history of this most re- !
case of successful recovery from !

" the simple Use OF DIR. Williams Pink |
Pills for Pale People. Truly it is an inter-
,sting story of q most miraculous cure of a
Dreadful disease by the simple use of this .
popular remedy.

hat DIR. Williams Pink Pills are not q pat
mt medicine in the sense in which that |
ERIN i usually understood. but are scieu-
ific preparation successfully used in gen
,ral practice for many years before being /
,ffered 10 the public generally. They con-
ain in a condensed form all the elements I
necessary to give new life and richness to /
