There never was a case recovered in the

DIR. Ware can tell you more about the case

After this successful and comtirmatory in
vestigationin ew York our reporter Satur-
day April 2nh. 1892, visited St. Peters H. s-
pital. in Albany, corner of Albany ard Fer
ry streets. He had a courteous reception
by Sister Mary PhiIomena. the sister
superior of 81. Peters hospital. ard when
tod the object of his visit, said she rcmem-
bered the case of poor Mr.. QUAINT very
distinctly. Said she: 1t was q very dis
tressins case and excited my syIupathies
much. Poor fellow he couldn't be cured
ard had TO go home in terrible condition

physician. On consulting the records of St.
Peters hospital. said he found only that
Charles a. QUAINT entered the hospital
March l4ih. 1880, was treated BY DR.. Henry
Hun. assisted by DR.. Van Derveer, who
was then. 1870, at the head of the hospital.
and that his case being deemed not possible
Of cure, he lett the hos ital and was taken
to his home as he supposed TO die.
Such is the tull history OF this most re-
markable case OF successful recovery from
a heretofore supposed incilrable 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
estin@ story OF a most miraculous cure of
dreadful disease by the simple use of this
popular remedy.
A further investigation revealed the fact
that DR.. Willianis' Pink Pills are not a
patent medicine in The sense in which that
term is usually understood, but are
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
