The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1893-12-09

Newspaper men as . rule place little Gre
dence in patent medicine stories and sell
dom bother to even read them. This is
not to be wondered at when it Is taken
into consideration how often they are
called upon By inscriptions persons to
fabricate and publish stories Of remarkable
cures and perhaps print a picture of tho
mythical man or woman supposed to have
been cured. That all medicine advertise
ments are not mere fakes" and that all
newspaper men are not equally prejudiced
is proven by story published in the Cin-
cinnati 7imes-Star of weli-known news
paper man whose life was saved by read
ing an advertisement. So remarkable and
interesting is the story that 1t is here re-
produced as published in the Times-Sar: .
Mr.. Charles B. Noble, the we'll known
litterateur, who has been suffering for
nearly three years with paralysis, was
upon the street today, cheerful and active
and the recipient of congratulations from
his many friends. There is q bond OF
unity between all newspaper men, 30 that
Mr.. Mobiles case appeals to every mefn Der
of the craft as well as to every one afflicted
as he was. Mr.. Noble has spent tho last
three years in travelling from city to city
seeking skilled physicians, to whom he
has appealed in vain for relief Knowing
this, reporter expressed surprise 1t the
remarkable cure. but Mr.. Noble. after exc
cutting jig to show that he was AS sound
as he looked, let the reporter into the Sc
cret Of his cure.

to me, both in a financial and . literary
wav, but suddenly stricken down as / was
at Somerset, O., 15O miles from Cincinnati,
l was incapaciated for both writing
and money making. Luckily my
literary productions had been remunera-
tive, and l had q snug bank account laid
up. but these three years have made
drain on it.
II sought . score Of physicians, going to
the best specialists IN Cincinnati, Chatta-
nooga and Pittsburg. Twelve Cincinnati
doctors pronounced my case incurabie, but
/ would not give mp. and after seeking IN
vain for relief in Pittsburg and Chatta-
nooga, consulted the best medical talent
in Chicago. Up to January IL. 1898. had
spent q. 500 for doctors and medicine and
was about to give up in despair whom i
got hold of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, through reading the adver-
tisements.
From the first week of using the rem
edy made steady improvement, and on
April Il put up my cane after using It
thirty months. / certainly believe this
medicine 10 ali the proprieiors claim for il,
and that Ii will do ali they say IL will. /
take pleasure In recommending 1t to all
similarly afflicted. Like many who have
tried medicine in vain, / was doubtful of
its value at first, and only used il when
grew desperate. Now can not praise il
too highly. II has restored me TO health
and strength, and l feel grateful accord
ingly. DIR. Whitaker pronounced 1t .
hopeless case Of locomotor ataxia.
"Yes, know there are many who will
fancy ANYTHING you say about nay case Is
an advertisement, but IL they want any
confederation, let them address me at the
Y. NJ. c. A. building. and / will cheer
fully answer oil inquiries If stamps are in
closed"
Pink Pills, while advertised and handled
by the drug trade as a proprietary article,
are not considered patent medicine in
the sense that name implies. For many
years previous to their general manufac-
ture they were used as q prescription. At
first their great restorative powers were
not fully recognized and they were chiefly
prescribed for impure blood and general
weakness. Their remarkable success in
such cases. and the fact that there was
nothing in the formula that could do any
harm, even il they did not do any good,
led to their being tried in cases where the
skill of the physician and the power of
medicine had entirely failed. Their power
OF restoration seemed to border on the
marvellous. They proved to be a never
failing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia. partial paralysis. ST. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism.
nervous headache. the after effect of La
Grippe, palpitation Of the heart, pale and
saiiow complexions, and all diseases OF the
blood such as scrofuia. chronic erysipeias,
etc.
They are also aspecihc for troubles necu-
liar 10 females, such a. suppressions,
irregularities and ell forms of weakness.
They build up the blood and restore the
glow OF health to pale and saiiow cheeks.
In case Of men they effect radical cure
in all cases arising from mental worry,
overwork or excuses of whatever nature.
