A CINCINNATI MIRACLE.
Why MT. Charles B, Noble Is
 Being Congratulated.
A Remarkable Case of Being Com pletely Cured of Paralysis After Nearly Three Years of Suffering and Eminent Physicians Had De- clared Their Best Efforts Baffled.

Newspaper men as a rule place little ere dence in patent medicine stories and seldom bother to even read them. This is not to be wondered at when it is taken into com sideration how often they are called upon by unscrupulous persons to fabricate and publish stories of remarkable cures and perhaps print a picture of the mythical man or woman supposed to have been cured. That all medicine advertisements are not mere 6fakes,' and that all news paper men are not equally prejudiced is proven by story published in the Cincin- natl Times Star of a well-kuown newspa- per man whose life was saved by reading an advertisement. So remarkable and in- terestng is the story that it is here repro- duced as published iu the Times-Star.
 MT. Charles B. Noble, the well-known litterateur, who has been suffering for nearly three years with paralysis, was upon the street today, cheerful aud active and the recipient of congratulations from bis many friends. There is bond of unity between all newspaper men, so that MT. Noble's case appeals to every member of the craft as we'll as to every one afflicted as he was. Mr. Mobile has spent the last three years in travelling from city to city seeking skilled physicians, to whom he has appealed in vain for relief. Knowing this, reporter expressed surprise at the remarkable cure, but MT. Noble, after ex- ecuting jig to show that he was as sound as he looked, let the reporter into the secret of his cure.
 ssIt was hard time had of it,'' said he, "but the last medicine we take is al- ways the one that cures, and have taken the last. 1 was paralyzed on March 9, 1890, while in the employ of the David Williams Publishing company of New York city as their travelling represen ntative from Cincinnati. I found the travelling a great help to me, both in financial and as was at Somerset, O., 15O miles from Cincinnati, I was incapacitated for both writing and money making. Luckily my literary productions had been remunera- tive, and I had a snug bank account laid up, but these three years have made a drain on 1t.
 "I sought q score of physicians, going to the best specialists in Cincinnati, Chatta- nooga and Pittsburg. Twelve Cincinnati doctors pronounced my case incurable, but would not give up, and after seeking in vain for relief in Pittsburg and Chatta- nooga, consulted the best medical talent in Chicago. Up to January 7, 1853, had spent S2500 for doctors and medicine, and was about to give up in despair, when got hold oi Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People through reading the advertisements.
 "From the first week of using the ram edy made a steady improvement, and on April 12 put up my cane, after using it medicine is all the proprietors claim for it, and that it will do all they say it will. take pleasure in recommending 1t to all similarly afflicted. Like many, who have tried medicine in vain, | was doaotful d ot used it when I grew desper- ate. Now cannot praise it too highly. It has restored me to health and strength and 1 feel gra teful accordingly. Dr. Whit taker pronounced 1t a hopeless case Of ioco- motor ataxia.
 "Yes, know there are many who will fancy anything you say about my case is an advertisement, but if they want any corroboration, le5 them address me at the Y. M. c. A. building, and will cheerfully answer all inquiries if stamps are en- closed.''
 Pink Pills, while advertised and handled by the drug trade as proprietary article, are not considered patent medicine in the sense that name implies. For many years previous to their general manufacture they were used as prescription. At first their great restorative powers were not fully recognized, and they were chiefly pre- scribed for impure blood and general weak ness. Their remarkable success in such cases, and the fact that there was nothing in the formula that could do any harm, even if they did not do any good, led to their being tried in cases where the skill of the physician and the power of medicine had entirely failed. Their power of restoration seemed to border on the marvellous. They proved to be never failing specific for such dis eases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheu- matism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow compiexions, and all diseases of the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc.
 They are also specific for, troubles pecul jar to females, such as suppressions, ir regularitles and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow checks. In case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, oyer work or excesses of whatever nature.
 Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose form, by the dozen or hundred, and the public is cautioned against numerous limitations sold in this shape) at 50 cents a box r six boxes for S2 50, and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenec- tady, N. Y., or Brockville, Ont. The price at which these pills are sold makes q course of treatment inexpensive as com pared with other remedies or medical treat ment.
