A Cincinnati Miracle.
WHY MR.. CHARLES b. NOBLE is
BEING CONGRATULATED.


Three Years of Suffering and
Eminent Physicians Had De-
clared Their Best
Efforts Baffled.
New paper 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 persons to
fabricate and publish stories Of remark
able cures and perhaps print 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 story
published in the Cincinnati Times-Star
of a Well-knoWn newspaper man whose
life was saved by reading an advertise
ment. So remarkable and interesting is
the story that it is here reproduced as
published in the Times-Star.
I Mr.. Charles B. Noble, the well known
hBterateur, who has been suffering tor
nearly three years with paralysis, was
upon the street to-day, cheerful ana
active and the recipient of congratula-
tions from his many friends. There is
a bond of unity between all newspaper
men, so that Mr.. Mobiles case appeals
to every memb Der of the craft as well as
to every one afflicted as he was. Mr..
Noble has spent the last three years IN
travelling from city to city seeking
skilled physicians, to whom he has ap-
pealed in vain for relief. knowing
this, reporter expressed surprise at
the remarkable cure, but Mr.. M ble,
after executing Jig to show that he
was as sound as he looked, let the re-
porter into the secret of his cure. 1T

Pink Pills, while advertised and
handled by the drug trade as proprie-
tary article, are not considered patent
medicine in the sense that name implies.
For many years previous TO their general
manufacture they were used as a
prescription. At first their great restor-
alive powers were not fully recognized
and they were chiefly prescribed for
impure blood and general weakness.
Their remarkable success in 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 sof, the
medicine had entirely failed. Their power
of restoration seemed to border on the
marvellous They proved to be never
failing specific for such diseases as
lococomotor aJaxia, partial paralysis, st.
Vitus' dance, scitica, neuralgia, rLeuma-
tism, nervous headache, the after effect
of La Grippe, palpitation of the heart,
pale and sallow complexion, and all
diseases of the blood such as scrofula.
chronic erysipelas, etc.
They are also specific for troubles
peculiar to females, such as suppressions,
Irregularities, and all forms of weak
ness. They build up the blood and
restore the glow OF health to pale and
sallow cneeks. In case of men they
effect a radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, overwork or excuses
of whatever nature.
Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in
