From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From time to time there have appeared
in the leading and most reputable newspa-
pers Of the country marvellous accounts OF
many wonderful cures that have been al
fected by a medicine called DR.. Wllllams
Pink Pills for Pale People. These state
ments have been made by some OF the DeSt
known men in business circles. church clr-
cles and even medical circles, and nave
been backed up by their afhdavits.
The Inquirer is pleased to add another
to the list and gives the story below. prop
erIy vouched for.
Little Ettie Moncrieff is the daughter OF
Mrs. Helen Moncrieff, who resides with
her sister, Mrs. NJ. G. Meek, at 748 Whar-
ton street, which is a neat little bakery.
The reporter found Mrs. Meek hersel1 De-
hind the counter and she said:
my sisters daughter, who is now year
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. Ihey also
said she could not live. Finally took her
to the Hahnemann College. That was 10ur
months ago, when Sne was months ola.
The examination was made in the presence
of room full Of physicians and students
The Professor lectured on her case, saying
it was very rare One He said that III
such cases there was very seldom recov-
cry. 1t was, he remarked, the most pecu-
liar case that was ever brought to his at
tentiOn.
II 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 scarcely percep-
tible pulse or breath. Several times she
was in an almost equally helpless condition
and we looked for her death hourly.
Then called to mind how DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People had once cured
me, ana the miraculous TecOVerieS l had
heard of and read about of people cured
from paralysis in various stages, and even
from physical defOTmitieS. | 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 10 see if they could pos
siDly repeat their other wonderful cures.
Neither nv sister nor | had the faith that
they would do so in case so nearly gone
as the child's and we agreed that 1t would
he miracle indeed IL 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 10 take
food. At the end OF two weeks we saw |
great improvement in her. We continued |
After we ceased giving her the Pink Pills, |
however. she seemed a little less happy /
and healthy and We began using them !
again. Now she is a cheerful, beautiful |
child in splendid health. She has entirely |
recovered from her spinal and other trOub- |
les. She sleeps well and takes her fcod |
well. For child of her age she seems to |
be as strong and healthy as could be ex- |
pected. 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 won
derlul We cannot have the slightest /
doubt now that she will grow up a strong,
healthy child.'
Mrs Meek then told how she had herself
been cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Three years ago had a very severe at
tack of grippe. l thought would lose the
use Of my right arm. There was a strange
numbnesS In 1t and / would have to drop

1t was bad circulation OF the blood, that l

only one box of Pink Pills and felt myself
getting better l took the second box and
have never had pain or ache since. Every
one who knows what work have to do is
astonished. 1t is certainly wonder that

Mrs. Meeks remarks were reduced to
writing, after which she. accompanied by
