I New YORK He said: II have very distinct
/ recollections of the QUAINT case. 1t was
/ very pronounced case. 1 treatet him about

What do you think, doctor, was the

! That is more than | know Quaut says
4 be has been taking >me SORT of pills and that
4 they have cured him. AT all events, am
! glad the poor fellow is getting well, for his
was a bad case AMI he was great sufferer"
| DR.. Theodore X. futile, of 3i9 West
| Eighteenth street. to whom our reporter is
| indebtel for assisting courtesies, sail of
| locomotor ataxia; II have had several
cases of this disease in the course of my
| practice. ! will not say that it is incurable
but never knew of a case to get well; but
will say it is not deemed durable by any
remedies known to the Medical profession"
| After this successful and condrmatory in
vestigation in New York, our reporter,
| Saturday, April ? ], 1892. visited st. Peters
Hospital, IN Albany, corner of Albany and
! Ferry streets. He had a courteous reception
| by Sister Mary Philomena, the sister
superior of st. Peters Hospital, and when
tod OF the object OF his visit, sal she remem-
bered the case of poor Mr.. QUAINT very dis
| tinctly. Sail she: at was very distress
ing case and excited my sympathies much.
| Poor fellow, he couldn't be cured and bad to
/ go home in terrIbls condition OF helpless
ness and suffering The house physician, on
consulting the records of St Peters Hospital,
| sail he found only that Charles A. QUAINT
entere the hospital March l4th, 1893, was
treated bv Dr. Henry Hun, assisted by DIR.
| Van Derveer, 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-
markabe case of successful recovery from
heretofore supposed incurable disease, AMI
after oil the doctors had given him up, by
/ the simple use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
/ for Pale People Truly it is an interesting
/ tory of most miraculous cure of a dreadful
! disease by the simple use OF this popular
| remedy.
further investigation revealed the fact
| that DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not patent
medicine in the sense in which that term Is
| generally understood, but are a scientific
| preparation successfully used in general
| practice for many years before being offered
to the public generally. They contain in a
| condensed form all the elements necessary to
| give new life and richness to the blood and
/ restore shattered nerves. they are an I'M
fai ing specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis st. Vitus dance,
/ sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
| headache the after effects of IN grippe,
palpitation of the heart, pale aud saIlow
| compilations, that tired feeling resulting
| from nervous prostraton; all diseases
/ depending upon Initiated humors in the blood,
such as scrofula chronic erysipelas, etc.
! They are also specific. for troubles peculiar
to females, such as suppressions, irregulari-
! ties and all forms of weakness. They build
up the blood and restore the glow of health
to rale or sallow cheeks. In the case of men
they effect radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, over-work or excuses OF
whatever nature.
| On further inquiry the writer found that
these pills ara manu- actured by the Dr.
Williams Meiicins Company, Brockvile,
Ontario, and Morristown, n. Y, and are
sold in boxes never in loose form by the
dozen or hundre1l at 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for s.. 80, and may be had of all drug
1 eists or direct by mali from Dr.. Williams
! Medicine Company from either address.
/ The price at which these pills are sold makes
! "A course of tres t'uent comparatively mex
pensive as compared with other remedies or
me neal treatment.
