The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1893-12-06

Newspaper men as a rule place little
credence in patent medicine stories and
seldom 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 per-
sons to fabricate and publish stories OF
remarkable cures and perhaps print a
picture Of the mythical man or woman
supposed to have been cured. That all
medicine advertisements are not mere
fakes" and that all newspaper men are
not equally prejudiced Is proven by a
story published in the Cincinnati Times
Star Of a well-known newspaper man
whose life was saved by reading an adj
Vertisement So remarkable and inter
eSting is the story that it is here repro
duced as published I'm the Times-Star.
Mr.. Charles b. Noble the well-known
htterateur. who has been suffering fo1
nearly three years with paralysis, was
upon the street today, cheerful and ac-
tive and the recipient of congratulations
from his many friends. There is bond
OF unity between all newspaper men, SO
that Mr.. Mobiles case appeals to every
member Of the craft as we'll as to every
one afflicted as he was. Mr.. Noble has
spent the last three years in travelling
from city TO city seeking skilled physi-
clans, TO whom he has appealed in vain
Tor relief. Knowing this, a reporter eX-
pressed surprise at the remarkable cure
but Mr. Noble. after executing a Jig to
show that he was as sound as he looked,
let the reporter into the secret Of his
cure.

he, but the last medicine we take is

March 9, 1890, while in the employ OF the
David Williams publishing company OF
New York City as their travelling repre-
sentative from Cincinnati. I found the
travelling a great help TO me, both in a
financial and a literary way, but sud
denly stricken down as I was at Somer-
set, o., $50 miles from Cincinnati, 1 was
incapacitated for both writing and
money-making. Luckily my literary pro-
ductions had been remunerative, and I
had a snug bank account laid up, but
these three years have made a drain
on it.
'I sought a score Of physicians. going
to the best specialists in Cincinnati, Chat

natl doctors pronounced my case incur

seeking in vain for relief in Pittsburg

and medicine and was about to give up
in despair when I got hold of DR.. Will

Pink Pills, while advertised and handled
by the drug trade as a proprietary article.
are not considered a patent medicine in
the sense that name implies. For many
years previous to their general manufact-
ure they were used as a prescription. At
first their great restorative powers were
not fully recognized and they were chiefly
prescribed for impure blood and general
such cases, and the fact that there was
nothing in the formula that could do any
harm, even If 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
marvellous. They proved to be a never
failing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia, partial paralysis. ST. Vitus'

They are also a specific for troubles pecu-

In case OF men they effect a radical cure
