A few weeks ago an article appeared In
this paper copiod from tho Albany IN. W
Journal, giving the particulars Of one OF
the mcst remarkable cures Of the nine
teenth century. Tho article was under the
heading "a Saratoga County Miracle" and
excited such widespread comment that an
other Albany raper-the Exprcss-detailed
a reporter to make thorough Investigation
OF the statements appearing In the Jour-
nails article. The facts us elected by the
Express Reporter are given In the following
article. which appeared In that paper on
April 10, and makes ono Of the most inter-
esting stories ever related:
few weeks ago there was published in
the Albany Evening Journal the storJ of u
most remarkable-indced, so remarkable
us to we'll justify the term "miracGlohs"--
euro of n severe case of locomotor ntaxia,
or creeping paralysis; simply by the use OF
Pink Pills for Pale People, and, In compli.
ance with Instructions, IN Express reporter
has been eevoting some imc In a critical
investigation of the real facts of the case.
Tho story OF the wonderful cure OF
Charles A. ouant. Of Galway, Saratoga
County, New York, rs first told In The
Journal" hns teen copied into hundreds
II not thousands Of other daily and weekly
newspapers, and has created such scnsa-
tion throughout the entire country that it
was deemed duty due all the people, and
especially the thousands OF similarly
afflicted, that the statements OF tho case
rs made In the .The Albany Journal"
and copied into so many other newspa-
pers. should, il true. bo verified; or. II
false, exposed Us nn imposition upon pub
lie credulity.
The result of the Express reporters in
ycstigations authorizes him In saying thut
tho story OF Charles A. ouant's cure of
locomotor ataNia by the uso OF Pink Pills
for Pale People, popular remedy pre-
pared and put up by the Dr. Williams
Medicine Company, Morristown, N. Y. and
Brockvllle, Ontario, is TRUE, and that all
its statements are not only justified but
verified by the fuller development OF the
further facts in tho 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 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-the Roosevelt Hospital
in New York City and st. Peters Hospital
in Albany-was dismissed from each as in
curable and. because the case was deemed
incurablo, the man was denied admission
into several others to which application
was made In his behalf. Tho story as told
by Mr. QUAINT himself and published in the
Albany Journal is as follows

years ago l began 10 feel distress In my
stomach, and consulted several doctors

and for dyspepsia was treated by various
doctors In different pla ces. and took all the

But l continued to grow gradually worse
for four years. Then l began to have
pain In my back and legs and became
conscious that my legs wcrc getting weak
and my step unsteady, and then stag
gcrod when I walked Having received no
benefit from the use of patent medicines,
and feeling that was constantly growing
worse, then. upon advice, began the use
of electric belts, rads. and NIL tho many
different kinds of electric appliances
could hear OF, and spent hundreds of
dollars for them, lut they did me no good
(Here Mr.. QUAINT showed tho Journal re-
porter an electric suit OF underwear, for
which he paid s124.) In tho fall Of 1855 tho
doctors advised n change OF climate, SO
