These are the marOpeSymptoms of a
severe case of locomotdGxlSxia. "Aud DR..
toms could s%it not be cured ~ .uant, who wa,
receiving treatment in thasI :. patient de-
partment, was given UP a~slgsgaIfble."
There never was a case recovered in tbs
worid,n said DR.. Starr. AMI then said:
"Dr. Ware can tell you more aboucsthe casa
as QUAINT was under his more personal treat
ment. | AM surprised, he sail that the
man is alive, as | thought he must be dead
long ago."
Our reporter found DR. Edward Ware at
his office, No. 162 West Ninety-third street,
New York. He said: II have very distinct
recollections of the QUAINT case. 1t was a
very pronounced case. L treated him abou;
eight months. This was in the early SUI II
mer of 1890. I deemed him incurable, and
thought him dead before now. Imagine my
surprise when [ received a letter from him
about two weeks ago telling me that he was
alive, was getting well and expectei soon to
be fully recovered
"What do you think, doctor, was the
cause of his recovery"
That is more than | know. QUAINT says
he has been taking some sort of pills and that
they nave cured him. At all events, | am
glad the poor fellow is getting well, for his
was a bad case and he was a great sufferer"
DIR. Theodore r. Tuttle, of 3l9 West
Eighteenth street, to whom our reporter is
indebtei for assisting courtesies, sail OF
Iocomotor ataxia: II nave had several
cases of this disease in the course of my
practice. will not say that it Is lncurable,
but | never knew of a case to get well; but |
VIII say III ii HUI utCuACu Cui u Ny any
remedies known to the medical profession"
After this successful and c~onfrmatory in
v~estigation in New York, our reporter,
Saturday, April 81, 1892, visited st. Peters
Hospital, in Albany, corner of Albany and
Ferry streets. He had a courteous reception
10y Sister Mary Philomena, the sister
superior of st. Peters Hospital, and when
told of the object of his visit, sal she remem
bered the case of poor Mr.. QUAINT very dis
tinctly. Said she: ut was a very distress
ing case and excited my synpathies much.
Poor fellow, he couldn't be cured and had to
so home in a terrible condition of helpless
ness and suffering" The house physician, on
consulting tbs records of st, Peter Hospital,
said he foand only that Charles A. QUAINT
entered the hospital March 14th. 1899, was
treated by DR.. Henry Hun, assisted by DIR.
Van Deryeer. who was then, 1891, at the
head of the hospital, and that his case being
deemed not possible of cure, he left the
hospital and was taken to his home, as he
supposed to die.
Such is the full history Of this most re-
markabie case OF successful recovery from q
heretofore supposed incurabfe disease, an
after all the doctors had given him up, by
the simple use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
lor. Pale People. Truly it is an interesting
story of a most miraculous cureo OF a dreadful
disease by the simple use of this popular
remedy.
A further investigation revealed the fac
that DIR. Williams Pink Pills are not a paten
medicine in the sense in which that term i
generally understood, but are a scientlft
preparation successfully used in genera
practice Tor many years before being offers
20 the public generally. They contain in
condensed form all the elements necessary t
give new life and richness to the blood an
restore shattered nerves. They are an III
fai ing specific for such diseases as locomoto
ataxia, partial paralysis. st. Vitus dance
~sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervou
headache, the after effects of la grippe
palpitation of the heart, pale and saitoV
compilations, that tired feeling resulting
from nervous prostration; all disease
depending upon vitiated humors in the blood
such as scrofuia, chronic erysipelas, etc
They are also a specific for troubles peculiar
to females, such as suppressious, irreguiari
ties and all forms of weakness, They built
up the blood and restore the glow OF health
to pale or sallow cheeks. In the case Of mel
they effect a radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, over-work or excuses 0
whatever nature.
On further inquiry the writer found that
these pills are manufactured by the DR.
Williams Medicine Company, Rockville,
Ontario. and Morristown, N. Y, and ar
sold in boxes never in loose form by tn
dozen or hundredl at so cents a box, or ST
boxes for 81. 30, aud may be had of all drug
gists or direct by mail from DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, from either address
The price at which these pills are sold make
a course of tres tment comparatively mex
pensive as compared with other remedies OF
medical treatment.
