"Ord K F. Bi pep. and Soda"
These are the marked symptoms Of So
we're case of locomotor ataxia "And DR..
| 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 as incurable."
''rhere never was case recovered In the
world, said Dr. Starr And then said: "Dr.
Ware can tell you more about the case as
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. 1852 West Ninety third street,
New York He said: IL have very distinct
| very pronounced case treated him about
| eight months. This was in the early sum-
mer of $780, I deemed him 1ncurab1e and
| thought him dead before now. Imagine my
| surprise when received letter from MIN
| abouttwo weeks ago telling me that he was
to be fully recovered"
'What do you think, doctor, was the
cause Of his recoveryl'
THAT is more than 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 a great suf-
ferer."
DR.. Theodore r. Tuttle, No. 319 West
Eighteenth street, to whom our reporter is
! indebted for assisting courtesies. said of To-
comotor ataxia: II have had several cases
OF this disease in the course of my practice
l will not say that 1t is incurable, hut l
| never knew OF case to get well; but will
say it is not deemed durable by any
remedies known to the medical profession"
After this successful and confrmatory 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 a 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
t1nctly. Said she: 1T was a very dis
tressing case and excited my sympathies
! much. Poor fellow he couldn't be- cured
and had to 60 home in terrible condition
OF heplessness and suffering" The house
physician, on consulting the records of St.
Peter's hospital, said he found only that
Charles A GIANT entered the hospital
March 14'h, 1890, was treated by DR.. Henry
Hun, assisted by DR.. Van Derveer, who was
! then, $780, at the head of the hospital, and
| that his case being deemed not possible of
cure, he left the hospital and was taken to
his home, as he supposed to die.
Such is the full history of this most re-
heretofore supposed incurabe disease,
| and after all the doctors had given him up,
| by the simple use OF Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Truly it is an inter-
estlng story of a most miraculous cure of a
dreadful disease by the simple use of this
popular remedy.
| further investigation revealed the fact
| that DR.: Williams Pink Pills are aot pat
ent medicine in the sense in which that
term is usually understood, but are scien-
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 unfailing specific for such dis.
sis, st. Vitus dance, sciat1ca, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the after
effects of la grippe, palpitation Of the heart,
pale and sallow compilations, that tired
feeling resulting from nervous prostraton ;
all diseases depending upon vitiated hu-
mors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic
erysipelas, etc They are also specific for
| troubles peculiar to females, such as 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 a
radical cure in all cases arising from men,
tai worry, overwork or excuses of what
| ever nature.
| On further inquiry the writer found that
these pills are manufactured by the DR..
Williams Medicine Company, Brockvile
Ontario and Morristown, N. Y, and are
sold in boxes (never in loose form by the
dozen or hundred, at 50 cents box, or six
boxes for $3.50, and may be had of ali drug
gists or direct by mail from DR.: Williams
! Medicine Company, from either address.
The price at which these pills are sold
makes Il course of treatmen comparatively
| inexpensive as compared with other rene
dies or medical treatment.
