From the Philadelphia Inquirer1
From time to time there have ap-
peared in the leading and most reputa.
bic newspaper of the country marvellous
accounts OF many wonderful cures that
have been effected by a medicine called
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. These statements have been made
by some of the best known men in
business circles. church circles. and
have been backed up by their affidayits.
The Inquirer is pleased to add another
to the list. and gives the story below,
properly youched for.
Little Elite Moncrieff is the daughter
of Mrs. Helen Moncrieff, who resides
with her sister. Mrs. III. q. Meek, at 748
Wharton street. which is a neat little
bakery. The reporter found Mrs. Meek
herself behind the counter and she said.
My sisters daughter. who Is now a
year old, was afflicted from her birth
with spinal affection, and the doctor
who attended her said she could not
live: We had two other doctors to at
tend her. They also said she could not
live. Finally l took her to the Hahne-
mann College. That was four months
ago, when she was eight months old.
The eXami nation was made i'll the pres
ence of room full of physicians and
students The professor lectured on
her case, saying 1t was a very rare one,
and that lii such cases there was very
seldom a recovery. 1t was, he remarked,
the h.Ost peculiar case that was ever
brought to his attention.
81 brought the child home immedi-
ately, 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 un-
conscious. with scarcely pereeptibie
pulse or breath. Several times she was
III an almost equally helpless condition
and we looked for her death hourly.
% hen l called to mind how DIR. Will
Jams Pink Pills for Pale People had
once cured me of the after-effects of the
grippe. and the miraculous reeoyeries
had heard of and read about of people
cured from paralysis i'll various stages,
and even from physical deformities. l
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 70 try the
Pink Pills to see if they could possibly
repeat their other wonderful cures.
She couldn't move at that time, both her
arms and legs being affected. But we
began 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. Before that il was
hard to get her to take food. At the
end OF TWO weeks we saw great i'm
provement in her. We continued Civ
ing her the pills more than month.
After we ceased giving her the Pink
Pills. however, she seemd a little less
happy and healthy, and we soon began:
using them again. Now She is a cheer
full, beautiful child, in splendid health.
She has entirely recovered from her
spinal and other troubles. She sleeps
we'll and takes her food we'll. For a
child of her age she seems to be as
strong and healthy as could be expected.
When we hold her by the arm or she is
at our knees she can stand, and Tor a
Child who was once deprived of all
power of spine, arms aud legs, this
seems wonderful. We cannot have the
slightest doubt now that she will grow
up a strong, healthy child"
Mrs. Meeks made the following Aft
dayit to the above:
Sworn and subscribed before me this
9th day OF May, A. D. 1873. ~sss
