hhese are the marked symptoms OF n
severe case of locomotor ataxia. "Ani DIR.
starr said case with such marked symp
toms could not be cured and QUAINT, who wa,
receiving treatment in the out patient de-
partment, was given up as incurable."
There never was a case recovered in ths
world" said DR.. Starr. AMI then said:
DIR. Ware can tell you more about the cas-,
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. l62 West Ninety third street,
New York. He said IL have very distinct
recollections of the QUAINT case. 1t was n
very pronounced case. 1 treated him abou;
eiBhV uiOnGuS. his was III TIC carly
mer of 1890. deemed him incura5le and
thought him dead before now. Imagine my
surprise when l received q letter from him
about two weeks ago telling me that he was
alive, was getting well and expecte soon to
be fully recovered"
what do you think, doctor, was tho
cause OF his recovery"
That is more than l know. QUAINT save
he has been taking some sort of pills and that
they have cured him. At all events, 1 am

was bad case aud he was great sufferer"
DIR. Theodore r. Tuttle of 3l9 West
Eighteenth street, to whom our reporter is
indebted for assisting courtesies, sail of
locomotor ataxia: III have had several
cases of this disease in the course of INV
practice. will not say that it is incurable,
but never knew of case to get WE'LL but
will say it is not deemed durable by any
remedies known to the medical profession"
After this successful and confirm atory iu-
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
hy Sister Mary PhiIomena, the sister
superior of st. Peters Hospital, AMI when
told of the object of his visit sal she remem.
tered the case of poor Mr. QUAINT very dis
tinctly. Said she: 1T was very distress
ing case and excited my sympathies much.
Poor fellow, he couldn't be cured and had to
20 home i'm terrible condition OF helpless
ness and suffering" The house ply sician, on
consulting the records of ST. Peters Hospital,
said he found only that Charles A. QUAINT
entered the hospital March 18th, 1S9J, was
treated by DIR. Henry Hun, assIste by DR..
Van llerveer, who was then, lS9J at the
head of the hospital, and that his case being
deemed not possible of cure, he LETT 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, an /
after all the doctors had given him up, by
the simple use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills
Tor Pale People. Truly it is an interesting
story OF most miraculous cure of dreadful
disease by the simple use OF this popular
remedy.
A further investigation revealed the fact
that DIR. Williams Pink Pills are not a patent
medicine in the sense in which that term IL
generally understooi, but are a scientific
preparation successfully used in general
practice Tor many years before being offered
10 the public generally. They contain in
