From the Philadelphia Inquirer
From time to time there have appeared in
the leading and most reputable newspapers
OF the county marvellous accounts of many
wonderful cures that have been affected by
medicine called DR.. Williams, Pink Pills
for Pale People. These testaments have been
made by some OF the best known men In
business circles, church circles, and have
been backed up by their afiidavits. The
Inquirer Is pleased to add another to the
list and gives the story below, properly
v0uched for.
Little Elite Moncrieff is the daughter of
Mrs. Helen Moncrieff, who resides with her
sister, Mrs. NJ. G. Meek, at 74S, Wharton
street, which is neat little bakery. The
reporter found. Mrs. Meek, herself behind
the counter and she said
my sisters daughter, who is now year
old, was afflicted from her birth with q
spinal affection, and the doctor who attend
ed 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 ex-
animation was made in the presence of a
room full of physicians and students. The
Professor lectured on her case, saying 1t was
a very rare one, and that In such eases there
was very seldom recovery. 1t was, he re
marked, the most peculiar case that was ever
brought to his attention.
~ 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 oil halnlacc annAtfiAv, md
we looked for her death hourly.
"Then called to mind how DIR. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People had once
cured me of the after-effects of the grippe,
and the miraculous rec0veries had heard
of and read about of people cured from par
alysis In various stages, and even from phys
ical deformitiyes. l told my sister that since
all the doctors had abandoned the child, and
she seemed to have no chance for life, 1t
could certainly do no harm to try the Pink
Pills to see If they could possibly repeat
their other wonderful curesA 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 day divided into three
parts. On the third day we could see that
she was improving. Before that it was hard
to get her to take food. At the end of two
weeks we saw great improvement in her.
We continued giving her the pills more than
a month. After we ceased giving her the
Pink Pills, however, she seemed little less
happy and healthy, and we soon began using
them again. Now she is a cheerful, beauti-
full child In splendid health. She has en-
tirely recovered from her spinal and other
troubles. She sleeps well and takes her
food well. For a child of her age she seems
IN no a q ouA INV no ba nv
pected. When we hold her by the arm or
she is at our knees she can stand, and for a
child who was once deprived of all power of
spine, arms and legs, this seems wonderful.
We cannot have the slightest doubt now that
she will grow up strong, healthy child"
Mrs. Meeks made the following affidavit
to the above.
Sworn and subscribed before me this sixth
day of May, A. d., 1898.
