During the past few months there have
appeared in the columns of the Standard
! the particulars of a number of cures so re-
| markable as to justify the term miraculous.
These cases were investigated and vouched
/, for by the Albany Journal the Detroit
| News. Albany Express aud other papers
| whose reputation Is a guarantee that the
| facts were as stated. That the term mira
| culOus was iustife will be admitted when
| 1t is remembered that In each of the cases
| referred TO the sufferer had been pro
| nounced ncuTable by leading physicians
| and at least one of the cases was treated by
! men whose reputation has placed them
| among the leaders of the worlds medical
scientists, but without avail and the patient
| was sent 10 his home with the verdict that
there was no hope for him and that only
| death could intervene to relieve his suffer-
! lngs When some months later the restora-
| lion TO health and strength of the former
sufferer was announced it is little wonder
that The case created a profound sensation
! throughout TIE country. Recently the fol
| lowing letter, which indicated an equally
remarkable cure, came under the notice of
/ the Standards
SoLsYILLE, n. Y, June %, 1892.
Five weeks ago father, Phllander Hyde,

certain relief from his sufferings. One day
he saw in the Albany Journal an account

no more creeping chillS, and he appears and

wonderful Pink Pills, and how thankful we
are for what they have done for father. In

markable as to be worthy Of the fullest in

',On the oath of February last" said Mr..
