To verify M. Quant's statement our re-
porter a few days ago, March 8lst 1s92,)
called on DR.. Allen Starr at his Office, No.
% West Twenty eighth st., New York city.
DR.. Starr is house physician Of the Roose-
velt hospital, situated corner Of Ninth
avenue and Ffty-ninth street. In reply to
inquiry he said be remembered the case OF
Mr.. QUAINT very well, and treated him some,
but that he was chiefly treated and under
the more especial care of DR.. Ware. He
said he regarded this case as he did all cases
Of locomotor ata1ia as incurable. In order
that our reporter might get q copy OF the
history of the case Of Mr.. QUAINT from the
hospital record he very courteously gave him
a letter Of which the following Is copy
DR.. NJ. A. Starr, % West Forty-eighth
street, Office hours, 9 to IL a. M. New York,
March 31st, 189..-Dear DR.. Vought: II you
have any record Of locomotor ataxia by
name of QUAINT, who says he came to the
clinic 8 or 4 years ago, No. 14,0S!, OF the y.
D. Dept, Roosevelt, sent to me from Ware,
will you let the bearer know. II you have
% d. -A1k
By means of this letter access to the rec
ords was permitted and transcript Of the
history Of Mr.. Quants case made from them
as follows:
'No. 14,Os7. Admitted September 10th,
1889. Charles A. QUAINT aged 81 years. Born
US. Married. Hoboken."
"History Of the case:-Dyspepsia for past
four or five years. About IA months partial
loss Of power and numbness In lower ex-
tremities. Girdling sensation about abdo-
men. (November 10th, 1889, not improved,
external strobismus Of left eye and dilatar
ton of the left eye.) Some difficulty in pass
ing water at times; no headache but some
dizziness; alternate diarrhoea and constipa-
ton; partial ptosis past two weeks IN left
eye.
These are the marked symptoms OF q
severe case Of locomotor ataxia "And DR..
Starr said a case with such marked symp-
toms could not be cured and QUAINT, who was
receiving treatment in the out-patient de-
partment, was given up as incurable." =,
There never was case recovered "A the
world" said DR.. Starr. And then said:
..Dr. Ware can tell you more about the case
ment. I am surprised, he said that the
man is alive, as l 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. It was q
yery pronounced case. treated him about
eight months. This was In the early sum-
mer Of $780, I deemed him incurable. and
thought him dead before now. Imagine my
surprise when 1 received letter from him
about two weeks ago telling me that he was
alive; was getting well and expected soon 70
"What do you think, doctor, was the
cause Of his recovery"
That is more than know. Quant says
be his been taking some sort OF pills and that
they lave cured him. At all events, am
glad the poor fellow is getting well. for his
was a bad case and he was great sufferer"
DR.. Theodore r. Tuttle, Of 8l9 West
Eighteenth street, to whom our reporter Is
indebted for assisting courtesies, said OF
locomotor ataxia:' II have had several
cases Of this disease in the course Of my
but never knew Of case to get well; but
will say it is not deemed durable by any
remedies known to the medical profession"
After this successful aud conArmatory In
vestigation In New York, our reporter,
Saturday, April I'd, 1892, visited st. Peters
Hospital, in Albany, corner OF Albany and
Ferry streets. he had courteous reception
by Sister Mary Philomena, the sister
superior of st. Peters Hospital, and when
told of the object of his visit, said she remem-
bered the case Of poor Mr.. QUAINT very dis
ing case and excited my sympathies much.
Poor fellow, he couldn't be cured and had to
90 home in a terrible condition Of helpless
ness 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 14th, 1896, was
treated by DR.. Henry Hun, assisted BY DR..
Van Dsrveer, who was then, 1890 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-
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 interesting
story Of q most miraculous cure OF dreadful
disease by the simple use OF this popular
remedy.
A further investigation revealed the fact
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills are mott patent
medicine in the sense in which that term Is
generally understood, but are scientific
Preparation successfully used In general
practice for many years before being offered
to the public generally. They contain In q
form all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are an un-
failing specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, St Vitus dance,

such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc.
Fhey are also specific for troubles peculiar
