Perhaps the readers Ct the Express are
not all Of them fully familiar with the de-
tails of this miraculous restoration to health
OF q man who after weeks and months OF
Treatment by the most skillful doctors In
two Of the best hospitals in the State OF New
York-tbe Roosevelt Hospital in New York
City and st. Peters Hospital in Albany
was dismissed from each as incurable and,
because the case was deemed incurable, the
man was denied admission into several 9TH
ers to which apl LEGATION was mad in his be-
half. The story as told by Mr.. QUAINT him
self and published in the Albany Journal, 10
as follows:
my name Is Charles A. QUAINT; I am 81
years old; l was born in the village Of Gal.
way and excepting while travelling on bust
ness and a little while in Amsterdam, nave
spent nay wholelife here. Up to about eight
years ago l had never been sick and was
then in perfect health. l was fully six feet
tall, weighed $50 pounds and was very
strong. For IL years was travelling sales
man for a 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 coun-
death, or at least give him the rheuma-
tisn. About eight years ago | began to
feel distress in my stomach, and consulted
several doctors about it. They all said it
was dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia l was
treated by various doctors in different
places, AMI took all the patent medicines 1
| could hear of that elaine to be a cure for
dysp psia. But ! continued to grow grad
ually worse for four years. Then l began
~ have p in In my back and legs and be-
came conscious that my legs were gettiAg
weak and my step unsteady, and then l
staggered when | walked. Having received
| no benefit from the use Of Patent medicines
| and feeling that l was constantly growing
worse, | then, upon advice, began the use OF
electric belts pa,is and all the many different
kinds Of electric appliances 1 could hear OF,
and spent hundreds of dollars Tor them, but
they did me no good. Here Mr.. QUAINT
| showed the journal reporter an electric suit
| Of underwear. for which he paid $l24.b In
| the Tall of 1883 the doctors advised a cnanae
OF climate, so / went to Atlanta, Ca, and
| acted as agent for the Estey Organ Com
| pany. While there l took a thorough e.ec-
| lric treatment, but 1t only s 'emed to aggra-
| vate my disease, and the only relief l could
! get from the sharp aud distressing pains was
to take morphine. The pain was SO in
tense at times that it seemed as though
| could moi stand it, and | almost longed for
death as the only certain relief. In Septem-
Der OF 1858 my legs gave out entirely aud my
leit eye was Drawn to one side, SO that l a
double sight and was dizzy. My trouble 50
| Affected my whole nervous system that |
| had to give up business. Then | returned to
New York n went to the Roosevelt Hos
| pital, where for four months 4 was treated
by specialists and they pronounced my case
locomotor ataxia and i~ncurable. After l
had been under treatment by Prof. Starr
and DR.. Ware for four months, they told me
! they had lone all they could for me. Then
l went to the New York Hospital on Fit
teenth street. where, upon examination, they
| said | was incurable and would not take me
b. At the Presbyterian Hospital they ex-
amined me and told me the same thing. Il
March, 1880, I was taken to st. Peters Hos
1 pital In Albany, where Prof. H. H. HUI
frankly told my wife my case was hopeless
that he could do nothing for mean that SHIT
| had better take me back home and save my
money, But l wanted TO make q trial o.
Prof. Hun's famous skill and l remained
un Ter his treatment for nine weeks, but 50
cured no benefit. All this time l hal beer
growing worse. I had become entirely
paralyzed from my waist down and had
Iartly lost control of my han1s. The pain
was terrible; my legs felt as though they
were freezing and my stomach would notre
tain food, and 1 fell away to 120 pounds.
In the Albany Hospital they put seventeen
big burns on my back one day with red hol
irons, and after a few days they put fourteen
more burns on and treated me with cleo
tricity, but | got worse rather than better;
lost control of my bowels and water, and,
upon advice OF the doctor, who said
there was no hope for mi, l was brought
home, where 1t was thought that death would
soon come to relieve me of my sutferinga
Last September, while in this helpless and
suffering condition, a friend OF mine 10
Hamilton, Ont, called my attention to the
statement of one John Marshall, whose case
had been similar to my own, and who had
been cured by the use of DR.. Williams Pins
Pills for Pale People. In this case MIR. Mar
shall, who is a prominent member OF the
Royal Templars of temperance, had, after
four years OF constant treatment by. the
most eminent Canadian physicians been
pronounced incurable. and paid the $1,000
total disability claim allowed by the order IN
such cases. Some months alter Mr.. Mar
shall began a course OF treatment with Or.
Williams Pink Pills, and after taking some
Is boxes was fully restored to health.

for two tSxes OF the pills, AMI l took them
accor ling to the directions on the wrapper
on each box. For the first few days the
cold baths were pretty severe as l was SO
very weak, but l continued to follow in
structions as to taking the pills and the
treatment, and even before l had used up
the two boxes of the pills ! began TO feet
beneficial results from them. My pains were
