Saved by a Miracle.

(From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
From time to time there have appeared
in the leading and most reputable news
papers of the country marvellous accounts
Of many wonderful cures that have been
affected by a medicine called DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. These
statements have been made by some Of
the best known men In business circles
and even In medical circles, and have
been backed up by their affldavlts.
The Inquirer Is pleased to add an
other to the list and gives the story be-
low, properly vouched for.
Little Ettie Moncrieff Is the daughter
Of Mrs. Helen Moncrieff, who resides
with her sister, Mrs. M. G. Meek, at 748
Wharton Street which Is a neat little
bakery. The reporter found Mrs. Meek
herself behind the counter and she said:
my sisters daughter, who Is now a
year old, was afflicted from her birth
with spinal affection, and the doctor who
attended her said she could not live. We
had two other doctors to attend her.
They also said she could not live. Fin
ally / took her to the Hahnemann Col
lege. That was four months ago, when
she was months old. The examina-
ton was made In the presence OF a room
Professor lectured on her case saying 1t
was very rare one. He said that In
such cases there was seldom recovery.
1t was, he remarked, the most peculiar
case that was ever brought to his atten-
ton.
II brought the child home Immediately,
believing, as the Professor and the
others had said, that she couldn't live.
In fact, at one time, we thought she was
entirely gone. She was unconscious,
with scarcely pulse or breath. Several
times she was In an almost equally help
less condition and we looked for her
death hourly.
"Then / called to mind how DR.. WILL
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People had
once cured me, and the miraculous re-
coveriss I had heard Of and read about
of people cured from paralysis In various
stages, and even from physical deform-
tiles. told my sister that since all the
doctors had abandoned the child, and
she seemed to have no chance for life, 1t
could certainly do no harm to try the
Pink Pills to see II they could possibly
repeat their other wonderful cures.
Neither my sister nor had the faith that
they would do 80 In q case 80 nearly
gone as the child's and we agreed that It
would be a miracle indeed II she should
be saved. She couldn't move at that
time, both her arms and legs being affect
ed. But we began that very night giving
her the Pink Pills, letting her have one
pellet day divided into three parts.
On the third day we could see that she
was improving. Before that 1t was hard
to get her to take food. At the end Of
two weeks we saw great Improvement In
her. We continued giving her the pills
more than q month. After we ceased
giving her the Pink Pills, however, she
seemed little less happy and healthy and
we began using them again. Now she Is
cheerful, beautiful child In splendid
health. She has entirely recovered from
her spinal and other troubles. She
sleeps we'll and takes her food well. For
q child OF her age she seems to be strong
and healthy as could be expected. When
we hold by the arm or she Is at our knees
she can stand, and for child who was
once deprived OF all power Of spine, arms
and legs, this seems wonderful. We can
not have the slightest doubt now that
she will grow up strong, healthy child"
Mrs. Meek then told how she had her.

q strange numbness In 1t and would

one who knows what work have to do |
Is astonished. It is certainly wonder |
that with my work / am 80 strong and |

Mrs. Meek's remarks were reduced to |
writing, after which she, accompanied |
by her sister, Mrs. Moncrieff and the |
child, made the following affldavit:
