From he Philadelphia inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
From time to time there have appear
ed in the leading and most reputable
newspapers OF the country marvellous
accounts of many wonderful cures that
have been affected by medicine called
These statements have been made by
some of the best known men in bust
ness circles, church circles, and have
been backed up by their affidaivts. 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 Ioncrief, who resides
with her sister, Mrs. NJ. G. Meek, at
| 746 Wharton street, which ls 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 @ spinal affection, and the doctor
who attended her said she could not
live. We had two other doctors to at
tend heT. They also said she could not
| live. Finally took her to the Hahne-s
mann College. That was four months
| II
examination was made in the presence
of room full of physicians and stu
| dents. The professor lectured on her
| case, saving it was a very rare one, and
| that in such cases there was very sell
dom recovery. twas, he remarked,
| the most peculiar case that was ever
| brought to his attention.
"Iibrought the child home immedi-
ately, believing, as the professor and
tho others had said, that she couldn't
live. In fact, atone time, we thought
| she, was 6ntirely gone. She was uncon-
scous, with scarcely perceptible pulse
or breath. Several times she was in an
almost equally helpless condition and
we looked for her death hourly.
"Then T'called to mind how DIR. Wills
| Jams Pink Pills tor Pale People had
once cured me of the after effects of the
| grippe, and the miraculous recoveries l
| had heard of and read about of people
| cured from paralysis in various stages,
and even from physical deformities.q
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 to try the
Pink Pills to see ii 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 q
| day divided into three parts. On the
| third day we could see that she was i'm
| proving. Before thatit was hard to get
her to take food. At the end or two
| weeks we saw great improvement in
her. We continued giving her the pills
more than q month. After we ceased
giving her. the Pink Pills, however. she
seemed q little less happy and healthy,
and we soon began using them again
| Now she is a cheerful, beautiful child in
splendid health. She mas entirely re-
covered from her spinal and other
troubles. She sleeps we'll and takes
her food Qwell! For 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 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,sh will grow up strong, healthy
| child"

davit to the above:
