from tie Philadelphia Inquirer.
From time to time there have appeared in
the leading and most reputable newspapers
of the country marvellous accounts of many
wonderful cures that have been affected by
medicine called DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale PeoDlv. These statements have been
made by Seine of the best known men il
business circles, church circles and even
medical circles, and have been backed I'D
by their alfi1avits.
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 Moncrief, who resides with her
sister, Mrs. NJ. q. Meek, at 74S Wharton
Street, which is neat little bakery The
reporter found Mrs. Meek herself behind
the counter and she said:
Ny sisters daughter, who il now q wear
old, was afflicted from her birth with a
spinal affection, and the doctor who at
tended her sail she could not live. We had
two other doctors to att md her. They also
said she could not live. Finally took her
to the Hahnenlnn College. That was four
months ago, when she was months old.
The examin ,tion was made in the presence
of a room full of physicians and stu
dents. The Professor lecture1 on her case
saying it was very rare one. He said that
in such cases there was very seldom q re-
covery. 1t was, he remarked, the most pc.
culiar case that was ever brought to his
attention.
Il 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 uncon 5ciOus, with scarcely percep-
tible pulse or breath. Several times she
was in an almost equally helpless condition
and We looked for her death hourly.
"Then l called tn mind how DR.. Viii.
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People had once
cured me, and the miraculous recoveries I
had heard of and read about of people cured
froIU paralysis in various stages, and even
from physical deformities. / told my sister
that since all the doctors had abandoned the
child, and she seemed to have no chance for
life, it could certainly do no harm to try
the Pink Pills to see if they could posi-
bly, repeat their other wonderful cures.
Neither my sister 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 miracle indeed if she should be saved.
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
divided into three parts. On the third day
we could see that she was improving Be-
fore that it was hard to get her to take food.
At the end of two weeks we saw great i'm.
provement in her. We continued giving
her the pills more than O month. After we
ceased giving her the Pink Pills, however,
she seemed little less happy and healthy
ana we began using them again. Now she
Is a cheerful, beautiful child in splendid
health. She has entirely recovered from
her spinal and other troubles She sleeps
well and takes her food WE'LL For child
OF her age she seems to be as strong and
healthy as could be expected When we
nod by the arm or she is at our knees she
can stand, and for child who was once de-
Prlved Of all power OF spine, arms and legs,
tins seems wonderful We cannot have the
slightest doubt now that she will grow up a
strong, healthy child"
Mrs. Meek then told Low she had herself

Mrs; Meeks' remarks were reduced to writ.

sister, Mrs. Moncrieff and the child. made
the following affidavit:
