To verify Mr.. Quant's statement our re-
porter a few days ago, March 3Ist $50 }
called on DIR. Allen Starr at his Office No.
p West Twenty-eghth St., New York city.
DR.. Starr is house physician of the ROose-
Felt hospital, situated corner of Ninth
avenue and Fifty-ninth street. In reply TO
inquiry he said he remembered the case of
MIR. QUAINT very well, and treated him some,
but that he was chiefly treated ami under
the more especial care of DR.. Ware. he
laid he regarded this case as he did all cases
Of lOcomotor ataXia as inrurabe. In order
that our reporter might get a COPY OF the
history of the case of Mr.. QUAINT from the
hospital record he very courteously gave him
, letter of which the following Is a COPY

These are the marked symptoms of
severe case of locomotor ataXia. And DR..
Starr said a case with such marked symp-
toms could not be cured and QUAINT, who was
receiving treatment in the out-patient de-
partment, was given up as incurable."
There never was a case recovered in the
wOrld,n said DR.. Starr. AMI then said:
''Dr Ware can tell you more about the case
as QUAINT was under his more personal treat
ment. l am surprised, he said that the
man is alive, as l thought he must be dead
long ago"
Our reporter found Dr. Edward Ware at
his oaice, No. 162 West Ninety-third street.
| New York. He said: II have very distinct
recolections of the QUAINT case. 1t was
very pronounced case. 1 treated him about
| eight months This was in the early sum
mer of 1890. l deemed him incurable, and
| thought him dead before now. Imagine my
surprise when [ received a letter from him
about two weeks ago telling me that he was
alive, vas getting well and expected soon to
/ be full recovered"
| What do you think, doctor, was the
cause of his recovery"
That is more than | know. QUAINT says
/ he has been taking some sort of pills and that
| they have cured him. At all events, am
glad the poor fellow Is getting well, for his
was bad case and he was great sufferer"
DIR. Theodore h. Tuttle, of 3I9 West
Eighteenth street, to whom our reporter Is
| indebted for assisting cOurteSleS, sad or
| locomotor ataxia; 81 have hal several
| cases of this disease in the course Of my
practice. / will not say that It Is Iucurable,
| but | never knew of a case to get well; but l
I will say it Is not deemed durable by any
! remedies known to the medical profession
/ After this successful and c1nfiTmitory in
| vestigation in New York our reporter,
Saturday, April 2d, 1892, visited st. Peters
| Hospital, in Albany, corner of Albany and
Ferry streets. He had a courteous reception
| by Sister Mary PhiIOmeng, the sister
superior of St Peters Hospital, and when
told of the obi ject of his visit, said she remem-
bered the case of poor Mr.. QUAINT very dis
tinctly. Said she: lit was very distress
ing case and excited my sympathies much.
Poor fellow, he couldn't be cured and had to
go home in a terrible condition OF helpless
I ness and suffering The house physician, on
| consulting the records of st. Peters Hospital,
said he found only that Charles \. Quo-t
entered the hospital March l4Jh, lSJh was
! treated by DIR. Henry Hun, assisted 10y DR..
| Van Derveer, who was then, lo9l, at the
head of the hospital, and that his case being
deemed nor 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-
markable case of successful recovery from "A
heretofore supposed incurable disease, an
after all the doctors had given hun up, by
the simple use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. Truly 1t Is an interestInS Z
story of most miraculous cure OF a dreadful
disease by the simple use OF this popular
-emedy.
A further investigation revealed the fact
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not a patent
medicine in the sense in which that term Is
generally understood, but are scientific
nreparation successfully used in general
practice for many years before being offered
TO the public generally. They contain IN a
condensed form all the elements necessary Ia

restore shattered nerves. They are an un'

they effect radical cure in all cases arising
