From the philadelphia Inquirer.

FrOm tne AhNuhohs
From time 10 time there have appeared
10 the leading and most reputable news'
pnpers of the country marvellous accounts
OF many wonderful cures that have been
affected by medicine called DIR. 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 atnda-
Wits.
The Inquirer is pleased to add another
TO the list and gives the story below prop
erly vouched for.
Little Eitie Moncrieff is the daughter OF
Mrs. Helen Moocrief, who resides Wild
her sister, Mrs. M. G. Meek' at 74S
Wharton street, which Is a neat little
bakery. The reporter found Mrs. Meek
herseIf behind the counter and she said:
"My sisters daughter, who 10 now year
cid, was sfIi icted from her birth with a
spinal affection, and she doctor who ats
tended her said she could not live. We
had two other doctors to attend her. They
also said she could not live. Finally l
took her to the Hahnem ann college. That
was four months ago, when she was eight
months old. The examination was made
in the presence of a room full of physicians
and students. The professor lectured on
her case saying It was very rare one. He
said that in such cases there was very
seldom = recovery. II was, he remarked,
the most peculiar case that was ever
brought to his attention.
~ brought the child home Immediately,
believing, as the professor and toe others
had said, that she couldn't live. In fact,
at one time. we thought she was entirely
gone. She was unconscious, with scarce
Iy perceptible puioe or breath. Several
times she was in on almost equally help
less condition and we looked for her death
hourly.
"Then called to mind how DR.. viii.
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People had
once cured me, and the miraculous rec
coveries had heard OF and read about of
people cured from paralysis In various
stages, and even from physical deformi'
ties. l told my sister that since oil the
doctors had abandoned the child, and she
seemed to have no chance for life, IL
could certainly do no harm to try the Pink
Pills to see IL they could possibly repeat
their other wonderful cures. Neither my
sister nor l had the faith that they would
do so in a case 80 nearly gone as the
chiid's and we agreed that IL would be a
miracle indeed IL she should be saved.
She couldn't move at that time both her
arms and legs being affected. Butwe be-
gan 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 it WAS hard to get her to take
food. At the end of two weeks we saw

ued giving her the pills more than a
month. After we ceased giving her the
Pink Pills, however. she seemed q little
less happy and healthy and we began
using them again. Now abe 10 q cheerful,

her spinal and other troubles. She sleeps
we'll and takes her food we'll. For child
of her age she seems to be as strong aud
healthy IS 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 cannot
have the slightest doubt now that she will
grow up n strong, healthy child.n
Mrs. Meek then told how she had her
self been cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.
