AS INCuRABLE.
The Remarkable Experience of Chas.
Qnaat as Investigated by an Albany
sS. y.l journal Reporter-A
Story OF Surprising
Interest.

70 us HllfaeulOuS-cuSe OF a most severe
case of loeomotor ataxia. or creeping
PARALYSIS, simply by the use of q popu-
lar.remedy known as Pink Pills for
Pale people, prepared and put up by
the DR. Williams Medicine company,
Morristown, n. v and Broclxyille, Ont.
Charles A. QUAINT, Of Galway, who for
the last six or eight years has been
great sufferer from creeping paralysis
aud its attendant ills, and who had be-
come utterly powerless Of all self-help,
had, by the use of few boxes of the
Pink Pills for Pale People, been so
fully restored to health as to be able
aid of crutches. The fame Of this
wonderful, miraculous cure was 50
great that the Erening Journal
reporter thought it worth his while to
so to Galway to call on Mr.. QUAINT, to
learn from his lips, and from the obser-
vation and testimony of his neighbors,
If his alleged cure was q fact 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 interviewing his neighbors
and fellow-townsmen. Itmay be proper
to say that Galway is pretty little
village of about 400 people, de-
lightfully located near the center Of the
town of Galway in Saratoga county, aud
about seventeen miles from Saratoga
Springs, Upon inquiry, the residence
OF MIR. Charles A. QUAINT was easily
found, for everybody seemed TO know
him, speak weIl Of him and to be over
flowing with surprise and satisfaction
at his wonderful cure and restoration
to the activities OF enterprising citizen
ship, for Mr.. QUAINT was born in Galway
and had spent most OF his life there.
Mr.. QUAINT was found at his pretty
home, on a pleasant street nearly OPP
posite tue academy. In response
to a knock at the door it was
opened by man who, in reply to an
inquiry if Mr.. QUAINT lived there and
was at horne, said: II am Mr.. QUAINT.
Will you come imp After little gen.
eral and preliminary conversation, and
after he had been appraised Of the object
for which the Journal reporter had
called upon him, he, at request, told
the story o. himself and Of his sickness
and terrible sufferings, and of the in
etfectual treatment he had had, and of
his final cure by the use of Dir. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, and cheer
fully gave assent to its use for publica-
ton. He said: "My name is Charles
A. QUAINT l am 81 years old. / was
born in the village of Galway, and, ex-
cepting while travelling on business
and q little while in Amsterdam, have
spent my whole life here. My wife is
pative Oh Ontario. Up 10 about
eight years ago I never had been sick
and was then in perfect health. ! was
fulIv SIX feet tall, weighed $50 pounds
and was very strong. For IL years
Iras a travelihg salesman for piano
and organ company and had TO do, or
a. least did do great deal Of heavy
Hiding, got my meals very irregularly
and slept in enough spare beds In coun-
+. try hctfses TO freeze any ordinary man
TO death, or at least give him the
rheumatism. About eight years ago
, began to ssal dis.ress in my stomach
asa Consulted several doctors about it.
! They all said 1t was dyspepsia, and fer
+, dyspepsia / was treated by various doc
: tors in different places, and took all
I the patent medicines | could hear Of
/ that claimed to be a cure for dyspe p5ia.
/ But l continued to grow gradually
worse for four years. Then began TO
have pain in my back and legs and be-
+ came conscious that my legs were get
ting veal: and my step Unsteady. and
then l staggered when l wulked.
Having received no benefit from
the use OF patent medicines, and
feeling that was constantly growing
worse, then, upon advice, began the
use of electric belts, pads and all the
many different kinds Of electric appli-
ances 1 could hear Of, and spent hun
dreds of dollars for them, but they did
me no good. (Here Mr.. QUAINT showed
the Journal reporter an electric suit oil
underwear for which he paid Sl24.) In
the fall OF 1888 the doctors advised a
change Of climate, so went TO Atlanta,
Ca, and acted as agent for the Estey
Organ company. While there took q
thorough electric treatment, but it only
seemed to aggravate my disease, and the
only relief could get from the SHARP
and distressing pains was to take NOR
phine. The pain was 80 intense 1i
times that ii seemed as though ! could
not stand IL, and / almost longed fcl
death as the only certain relief. Ir
September of 1888 my legs gave out en-
tirely and my left eye was drawn II
one side, so that / had double sight anc
was dizzy. My trouble SO effected my
whole nervous system that ] had q
give up business. Then ! returned II
New York and went TO the Roosevelt
hospital, where for four months / wa
treated by specialists and they pro

Then went to the New York hospita
on Fifteenth street, where, upon ex
animation. they said was incurabli
and would not take me In. Az Ia
Presbyterian hospital they examine,
me and told me the same thing. Il
March, 1890, was taken TO St. Peter
hospital in Albany, where Prof. II. II
Hun frankly told my wife my case wa
hopeless; that be could do nothing TO
me and that she had better take M
back home and save my money. But
