The result Of the Express reporters i'm

the story of Charles A. Quant's cure of
locomotor ataxia by the use Of Pink Pills
for Pale People. u popular remedy pre-
pared and put up by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Company. Morristown, N. Y. and
Brockville. Ontario, is TRUE, and that all
Its statements are not only justified but
verified by the fuller development of the
further facts in the case.
Perhaps the readers of the Express are
not all of them fully familiar with the de-
tails of this miraculous restoration to
health OF q man h after weeks and
months OF treatment by the most skillful
doctors in two of the best hospitals in the
State of New York-the Roosevelt Hospital
in New York City and St. Peters Hospital
in Albany-was dismissed from each as in-
durable and, because the case was deemed
incurable, the man was denied admission
into several others to which application
was made in his behalf. The story as told
by Mr.. QUAINT himself and published in the
Albany Journal is as follows:
"My name is Charles A. QUAINT. I am 81
years old. I was born in the village Of
Galway, and excepting while travelling on
business and a little while in Amsterda am,
have spent my whole life here. Up to
about eight years ago 1 had never been
si:k and was then in perfect health. was
fully six feet tall. weighed $50 pounds and
was very strong. For twelve years I was
travelling salesman for q piano and organ
company, and had to do, or at least did do,
a great deal OF heavy lifting. got my meals
very irregularly, and slept in enough
spare beds in country houses to freeze
any ordinary man to death, OF at least
give him the rheumatism. About eight
years ago I began TO feel distress in my
stomach. and consulted several doctors
about it They all aid it was dyspepsia.
and for dyspepsia I was treatcd by various
doctors in different pla ces, and took all the
patent medicines I could hear of that
claimed to be o cure for dyspepsia.
But l continued to grow gradually worse
for four years. Then I began to have
pain in my back and legs and became
conscious that my legs were getting weak
and my step unsteady, and then I stag
gered when I walked. Having received no
benefit from the use of patent medicines,
and feeling that I was constantly growing
worse. I then. upon advice, began the use
of electric belts. pads. and all the many
different kinds OF electric appliances I
could hear of, and spent hundreds Of
dollars for them. tut they did me no good.
(Here Mr.. QUAINT showed the Journal re-
porter an electric suit Of underwear. for
which he paid s1c4.) In the fallof 1883 the
doctors advised a change Of climate, SO I
emit to Atlanta. Ga. and acted as agent
for the Estey Organ Company. While
there I took o thorough electric treatment,
but it only seemed to aggravate my dis
ease. and the only relief 1 could get from
