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 medicine called DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. These state
ments have been made by some of the
best known men in business circles,
church circles and even medical circles,
and have been backed up by their afiida
Wits.
The Inquirer is pleased to add another
to the list and gives the story below,
properly vouched for.
Little Elite Moncrieff is the daughter
of Mrs. Helen Moncrieff, who resides
with her sister, Mrs. NJ. G. Meek, at 74S
Wharton Street, which is neat little
bakery. The reporter found Mrs. Meek
herself behind the counter and she said;
"My sisters daughter, who is now ayear
old, was afflicted from her birth with
spinal affection, and the doctor who at
tended her said she could not live. We
had two other doctors to attend her.
They also said she could not live. Final
ly | took her to the Hahnemann College.
That was four months ago, when she was

physicians and students The Professor
lectured on her case saying it was a very
rare one. He said that in such cases
there was very seldom a recovery. 1t

that was ever brought to his attention.
| 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 scarce
ly perceptible pulse OF breath. Several
times she was in an almost equally help
less condition and we looked for her
death hourly.
Then l called to mind how DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People had
once cured me, and the miraculous recov-
cries | had heard of and read about of
people cured from paralysis in various
stages, and even from physical deformi-
ties told my sister that since all the
| doctors ho RI abandoned tho child opd Sba
seemed to have no chance for life, it could
certainly do no harm to try the Pink Pills
to see if they could possibly repeat their
other wonderful cures. Neither my sis
ter nor had the faith that they would
do so in a case so nearly gone as the
child's and we agreed that it would be a
She couldn't move at that time both her
arms and legs being affected. But we be-
gan that very night giving her the Pink
Pills, letting her have one pellet a day di
vided into three parts. On the third day
we could see that she was improving

After we ceased giving her the Pink Pills
however, she seemed little less happy
and healthy and we began using then
again. Now she is a cheerful, beautiful
child in splendid health. She has entire
ly recovered from her spinal and othel
troubles. She sleeps well and takes he
food well. For child of her age sh
seems to beas strong and healthy as coult
be expected When we hold by the arm

for child who was once deprived of al
power Of spine, arms and legs, this SEEM
wonderful. We cannot have the slight

Mrs. Meek then told how she had her
,, self been cured by DR.. Williams PM
Pills.

Mrs. Meek's remarks were reduced t
