To verify Mr.. Quant's statement our re-
porter a few days ago., March 31st, 1892,
called ON DR.. Allen Starr at his office, No.
% West Twenty-eighth St., New York city.
DIR. starr is house physician Of the Roose-
welt hospital, situated corner of Ninth
avenu and Fifty-ninth street. In reply to
inquiry he said he remembered the case OF
but tllathe was chiefly treated and underline
more especial care of DR.. Ware. He said he
regarded this case as he did all cases OF To-
comotor ataxia as incurable. In order
that our reporter might get a copy ofthe
history of the case Of MI. QUAINT from the
him a letter of which the following is q
br. NJ. A. Starr, % West Forty Ell light street,
Office hours. 9to II a. III, New York, March
31st 1892.-Dcar DIR. Vought: II you have
any record OF a locomotor ataxia by name
of QUAINT, who saws he came to the clinic
Sor4 years ago, No. 14,037, Of the 9. D.
will you let the bearer knc If you have
no record send him to 1t Hosp.
By means ofthis letter acc to the records
was permitted and q trans, pit of the his
tory Of Mr., Quant's case made from them
as follows:-
mo. 1907. 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
partial loss of power and numbness in
lower extremities. Girdling sensational bout
abdomen: November 29th, 1889, not
and dilatation of the left eye.) Some diff
Guilty in passing water at times; no head
ach but some dizziness; alternate diarrhoea
and constipation; partial ptosis past two
weeks i'll lett eye.
"Ord. r. +. hi pep. and Soda"
These are the marked symptoms OF a
severe case o:.,ocomoto7 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
department., was given up as incur
able"
"There never was a case recovered in the
world" said DR.. Starr. And then said:
as QUAINT was under his more personal
treatment. I am surprised, he said, that
the man is alive, as 1 thought he must be
dead long ago."
"Our reporter found DIR. Edward Ware
at his office, No. 1872 West N%inety-third
street, New York. He said; II have very
distinct recollections of the QUAINT case. 1t
about Ell sl.t months. This was i'll the early
summer of 1890. L deemed him incurable,
and thought him dead before now. I'm
agine my surprise when I received a letter
from him about two weeks ago telling me
that he was alive, was getting we'll and ex-
pected soon to be fully recovered"
"What do you think, doctor. was the
cause of his recovery"
s'That is more than I know. QUAINT says
he has been taking some sort of pills and
that they have cured him. At all events,
I am glad the poor fellow is getting we'll,
for his was a bad case and he was q great
sufferer"
DR.. Theodore r. futile, of $40 West
Eighteenth street, to whom III reporter is
indebted for assisting courtesies, said Of
locomotor ataxia? II have had several
cases of this disease in the course of my
practice. I will not say that it is incurable,
but l never knew of a case to get we'll; but
I will say it is not deemed durable by any
remedies known to the medical profess
'sion."
After this successful and comtirmatory in
vestigationin New York, our reporter Satur-
day April End, 1892, visited st. Peters Hos
pital, in Albany, corner ofAlbany and Fer
~ streets. He had 2 courteous reception
s BY Siste afs N.Y. ! Fste1 r'hi hogpi'ai,, a snd w sists'
told the object of his visit, said she remem-
bered the case of poor Mr.. QUAINT very
distinctly. Said she: "It was q very dis
tressing case and excited my .sympathies
much. Poor fellow he couldn't be cured
and had to go home in a 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 14lh. 1850, was treated BY DR.. Henry
Hun, assisted by DIR. Van Derveer, who
was then, 1890, at the head ofthe hospital,
and that his case being deemed not possible
of cure, he LETT 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
o heretofore supposed incurable disease,
and after all the doctors hadgiven him up,
by the simple use of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Truly it is an inter-
esting story of q most miraculous cure of a
dreadful disease by the simple use of this
popular remedy.
A further investigation revealed the fact
that DR.. Williams' Pink Pills are not q
patent medicine in the sense in which that
term is usually understood, but are a
scientific preparation successfully used in
general practice for many years before be-
ing offered to the public generally. They
contain in a condensed form all the ele.
ments necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood, and restore
shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataXia, partial paralysis. St. Vitus
