but that he was chiefly treated and underline
more especial care of DR.. Ware. He said he
regarded this case as he did all cases of To-

These are the marked symptoms of a

toms could not be cured and QUAINT who

There never was a case recovered in the
world" said Dr. Starr. And then said:
'Dr Ware can tell you more about the case

"Our reporter found DR.. Edward Ware

After this successful and comtirmatory in
veStigation in ew York our reporter Satur-
| day April 2nd 1892, visited ST. Peters Hos
! pital, in Albany, corner ofAlbauy and Fer
! ~ streets. He had a courteous reception
| by Sister Mary Philomena, the sister
superior ofst Peters hospital, and when
told the object of his visit, said she rcmem-
distinctly. Said she: 1T was Il very dis
| tressing case and excited my synpathies
much. Poor fellow he couldn't be cured
and had to go home in terrible condition
! of heip!essneSS 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 14'h. $780, was treated by DR.. Henry
Hun, assisted by DR.. Van Derveer, who
was then. 1890, at the head of the hospital,
and that his case being deemed not possible
OF cure, he lett the hospital and was .aken
to his home, as he supposed to die.
Such is the full history Of this most re-
markable case of successful recovery from
heretofore supposed incurable 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
estinc story of a most miraculous cure of a
dreadful disease by the simple use of this
popular remedy.
A further investigation revealed the fact
that DIR. Williams' Pink Pills are not a
patent medicine in tile sense in which that
term is usually understood, but are a
scientific preparation successfully used in
general practice tor 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
