From the Philadelphia Inquirer

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.]
 From time to time there have appeared in the leading and most reputable news papers of the country marvellous accounts of many wonderful cures that have been affected by medicine called Dr. Wilisms' 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 lffilavits.
 The Inquirer is pleased to add another to the list and gives the story below, properly vouched for.
 Little Etlie Moncrieff is the daughter of Mrs. Helen Moncrieff who resides with her sister, Mrs. M. G. Meek, at 748 Wharton street, which is neat little bakery. The reporter found Mrs. Meek herself behind the counter and she said:
 'My sister's 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. They also said she could not live. Finally took her to the Hahnemann college. That was four months ago, when she was months old. The examination was made ln the presence of @ room full of physicians and students. The professor lectured on her case, saying 1t was very rare one. He said that in such cases there was very seldom a recov- cry. 1t was, he remarked, the most pecul- jar case that was ever brought to his attention.
 ssI 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 perceptible pulse or breath. Several times she was in an almost equally helpless con- dition and we looked for her dea h hourly.
 ''Then l called to mind how Dr. Will liams' Pink Pills for Pale People had once cured me, and the miraculous recoveries l had heard of and read about of people cured from paralysis in various stages, and even from physical deformities. ] told my sister that since all the doctors had aban- doned the child, and she seemed to have no chance for life, it could cer- tainly do no harm to try the ply repeat their other wonderful cures. Neither my sister nor had the faith that they would do so in case so nearly gone as the child's, and we agreed that it would be miracle indeed if she hould pe 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 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 im- provement in her. We continued giving her the pills more than a mouth. After we ceased giving her the Pink Pills, however, she seemed little less happy and healthy ard we began using tbem 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 well. For a child of her age she seems to be strong and healthy as could be expected. When we hold her 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 see,rs wonderful. We cannot have 1 he sligh test doubt now that she will grow up strong, healthy cbild.'
 Mrs. Meek then told how she had herself been cured by Dr. Williams Pink Pills:
 'tThree years ago had very severe at- use of my right arm. There was strange nunlbness in it and would have to drop everything. It felt as if it was asleep all the time. l had doctors and they told me 1t was bad circulation of the blood that was run down and needed rest. l took only one OK of Pink Pills and felt myself get ting better. took the second box and have never had pain or ache since. Ev- cry one who knows what work have to do is astonished. It is certainly a wonder that with my work am so strong and have never had return of the troube.'
 Mrs. Meek's remarks were reduced to writing, after which she, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Moncreff and the child, maue lne lOilOWIug amuaNit.
