HOW A BABY WAS SAVED.
AN INTERESTING STORY FOR
PARENTS.
A Child that was Born with a Terri
BILE AffiictiOn-PrOnOu Incura-
BILE by the Leading Physicians
of Hahnemann College
Saved by Miracle.
(From the Philadelphia Inquirer. }

From time to time there have ap-
| pelred ia the leading and most repu-
table newspapers of the country mar
velous accounts Of many wonderful
! cures that have been affected by a
medicine called DR.. Williams Pink
! Pills for Pale people. These state
ments have been made by some of the
! best known men in business circles.
! Giles, and have been backed up by their
affidavits.
The Inquirer is pleased to add another
to the list and gives the story below,
properly vouched for.
Little Ettie MOncrieff is the
daughter Of Mrs. Helen Moncrieff, who
resides with her sister, Mrs. NJ. G..
Meek, at 748 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 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 | took her to the
Hahnemann College. That was four
months ago, when she was eight
months old. The examination was
made in the presence of room full of
physicians and students. The Pro-
lessor lectured on her case saying it
was very rare one. He said that in
such cases there was very seldom re-
coVery. 1t was, he remarked, the
most peculiar case that was ever
brought to his attention.
81 brought the child home imme-
diately, 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 perceptible
pulse or breath. Several times she
was in an almost equally helpless con-
dition and we looked for her death
hourly.
"Then l called to mind how DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
had once cured me. and the miracu-
louS recOVeries had heard of and read
about of people cured from paralysis
in various stages, and even from ply
steal 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 Ger
tainly do no harm to try the Pink
Pills to see if they could possibly re-
peat their other wonderful cures.
Neither my sister nor l had the faith
that they would do so in case so
nearly gone as the chlld's aud we
agreed that it would be miracle in
deed if she should be saved. 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 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 seemed little less
happy and healthy and We began US
ing them again. Now she is cheerful,
beautiful child in splendid health.
She has entirely recovered from her
spinal and other troubles. She sleeps
well and takes her food we'll. For a
child of her age she seems to be as
strong and healthy as could be expect
ed. When we hold by the arm or she
is DIT our knees she can stand, and for
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. Meek then told how she had
herself been cured by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
''Three years ago 1 had very severe
attack of grippe. thought l would
lose the use Of my right arm. There
was strange numbness in it and |
would have to drop everything. 1t
felt as if it was asleep all the time. l
had doctors and they told me it was
bad circulation of the blood, that |
was run down and needed rest. l
took only one box Of Pink Pills and
felt myself getting better. 1 took
the second box and have never had a
pain or ache since. Every one who
knows what work | have to do is as
tonished. 1t is certainly wonder
that with my work am so strong and
have never had a return of the
| trouble"
Mrs. Meeks' remarks were reduced
to writing, after which she, accom-
named nv her sistar Mrs. MopcrioH
