Flower
"What is August Flower for?"
As easily answered as asked. It is
for Dyspepsia. It is a special rem
edy for (lie Stomach and Liver.—
Nothing more than this. We believe
August Flower cures Dyspepsia.
We know it will. We have reasons
for knowing it. To day it lias an
houored place In every town and
couutry store, possesses one of the
largest manufacturing plants in the
country, and sells everywhere. The
reason is simple. It does one thing,
nnd does it right. It cures dyspepsia!)

O heart of mine, we shouldn’t
Worry so I
What wo’Vrt missed of calm we
Couldn’t have, you know!
What we’ve met of stormy pain,
And of sorrow’s driving rain,
We can better meet again
If It blow.
Wo have erred in that dark hour
We have known
When our tears fell with the shower,
All alone—
Were not shine and shower blent
As tho gracious Master meant?
Let us temper oUr content
With His own.
For, wo know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Lot us fold away our fears,
Anti put by our foolish tears.
And through all the <x>mingyears
Just be glad.

l’licro was a moment’s silence.
“What ye want?” was Anally the petu
lant reply.
“Aiu’t that Joe Myers cornin’ ’long
by old man Wingate’s! Looks like ’im,
don’t, it?"
Foolish, foolish Mrs. Forman. Why
could she not havo guessed that Rachel’s
longing gain had boon fastoned, from her
window, oil that tcll-talo whitu horse
and lomi of grain over since they turned
the coiner by the mill; that Rachel’s
heart whs beating thump 1 thump! thump I
ngalnst her side wh’lo she answered care
lessly :
“Mobbo ’tin. Seams aomo like his
llg.” Then, after a bit of silence:
“What ye want t’ know for, mn?" as if
this innocent a; coch could not stand by
itself.
“0, nothing,V feebly. “Ain’t ye go-
in’ t’ pick the peas lor dinner?”
The girl set down her Iron with an im-
pationt thud that brought a dull blush
of consciousness to her mother’s cheeks.
“Vo said ye didn’t want none," was
the sullen uuswor.
Mrs. Furman frowned into her dust
pan as she poked the broom undor tho
squat, little stove. Really, Rachel
seemed to have no wit at all. Tho pea
patch stood at such a convenient angle
to the highway.
“Things didn’t go like that when 1
wns young,” tho simple woman mused.
“Folks es’ kop’ comp’ny toll they was
t’ be married an’ then they was married,
V no tieubloV quar’iin’. ’T any rate,
’twas so with me an’ Jeremiah."
This was, indeed, the truth. The late
Mr. Farman had found a moat com
plaisant listener to his tale of lovo.
Meanwhile Rachel wont on slamming
her irons iu the kitchen. Neither her
angry sweetheart, driving in unhappy
heaviness along the dusty road, nor her
distracted mother, listening for some
concilWory sign, could know that her
eyes wore too lull of tears to see her
work.
Mrs. Farman stsrtod suddenly in des
peration us tho wagon drew near. “I
got to train tint rosebush by tho gate,"
she muttered iu self excuse, stealing
softly out of the door; “I been goin’ to
do it all summer. It looks dretful."
Still she reached the fence without her
shears.
Joe had determined not to turn his
head toward the house; but, you see, bo
had not couuted upou the eager figure In
tlio Happing sunbannet which loaned
across the palings an I pooled up into his
face. 11 hud long boon a favorite joke
at the corner grocery, Mrs. Farmun’s
pursuit of this eligible young man, and
iio was possessed of no special fondness
for so apparently willing a mother-in-
law , yet it would bo ourugeous rude
ness to drive past when any one stood
waiting with speech for him on her lips,
if it was Rachel’s mother, and in front
of Rachel’s home. Mo must see what
she wauted, and ho must stop old Jim to
listen.
“ Wy, how d’ye do, Mr. Myers?” was
the first remark, with a clumsy attempt
at surprise; “1 ain’t seen ye this long
time. How’s your ma?”
“She's tol'nble,” Mr. Myers answered
coldly, by no means appeased at this
polite nddross. llo was not in tho hu
mor for a go-between. “Yuu pretty
well, Mrs, Farmnii?”
She chose to consider this inquiry in
te broadest sense.
“W’y, I'm eujoyim’ good health,” the
honest, soul rejoined, “ ’u ’tb’ boys is
leal rugged. But Kuchaol she scorns sort
»' peaked this summer. Don’t eat
nothin’ V don’t git 'or uat’ral sleep.
I’m worried 'bout Rachel."
Tho Hues mound Joe's mouth soomod
to tighten. “Honosot tea’s good,” bo re
torted coolly and gave his horse a cluck.
Poor little Mrs. Farmun made a clutch
at the guto railing. “Joe," Bhe said in a
high, shrill whisper, “wait jest a
minute. 1 waut to suy somethin'. Be ye
mad at Rachel?”
“Well, ye know w'y, ef 1 be," roared
the injured youth, growing very red.
•I ain't never been treated so before 'u
dl my life. Made a rug’lar foot of like
that I When 1 take a youug lady”—with
mperb politeness—"t' prayer meetin’ l
;en’rnH expect t’ see er home. That
aiu’t unreasonable!"
“Oh, 1 know ye do,” wailed the uu-
j Oappy mother, "but Rachel does feel
tearful bud, Joel l don’t see wot over
I undo ’er go oil that way with Ben Mar-
i iin. Most times, she wouldn't wipe 'er
! .do shoos eu ’im. It does seem, some-
: .imes as ef girts was possest.”
uoe was not at all placated by her dis-
i tress.
“Ma says," he interrupted in a tow-
1 ering rago, “that you're entity fer th 1
match on account of oer boldin’ th’ mog-
ago on your place. But. she says any-
udy could see, with half an eye, which
way Rachel was lookin’. 1 guess she’s
tbout right."
He slapped the reins upon old Jim’s
lawk and started off grimly past his
horror stricken auditor.
“That ain’t so,” pleaded Mrs. Far-
•nan, wringing her hands. Thou, driven
10 humiliating confession by tho exigeu-
cio» of this perplexing case; “I taxed
’«r,” she wanton, “with bein’ heady ’n'

'* * 'Twan’t that at all. 'Twas you’—
that was mo—‘a-pushin’ fotrard ’n’ ask

•an’ thore stood Mrs. Myers, with her
note op in th' air I I jea’ felt sick o’ th’
bull thing,’ says she, ‘an’ when Ben ast
I slipped oft with him. An’ I’ll do
:t ag'ln of ya act like thatl’ D'ye aver
hear sech talk Per own mother?"
9he looked up through dim ayes to the
; ooujr man’s softened Sloe,
"Well,” he began, moving about un
easily on hit sent, “ef that's all, an’ ef,
Rachel's willin’ to ’pologize—”
“Which she ain't," cried a clear voice
from the porch. The conspirators looked
up guiltily. Of course tho girl had known
'when Joe’s wagon had stopped. Of
course, with her hard won acquaintance
with her mother’s tactics, she had como
ito see what followed. “I thank ye very
jinuch, ma,” she went on, her blue eyes
blazing with a pride wounded unto
Ideath, "but ye neenter interfere in my
nlfairs any more. An’, as fer yer kind
•remarks about me, Mr. Myers,” fixing
tier ire upon ttie awe-struck Joseph,
“your’s and yei mother’s—it’s all one—
ye kin make up yer mind, I ain’t soilin’
myself yet, ef my own Heali an’ blood is
willin' I"
She was loo furious to be even as just
as is possible to a woman. Every one
knew that Mrs. Farnrnn cared far moro
for her daughter's happiness than for the
mortgage.
“An’ here—" thu wild creature con
tinued,pulling a pink envelope from her
calico pocket—“i was agoin’t’ send ya
word, this very day, that I was ashamed
and sorry on accouut o’ that Thursday
night. But 1 ain’t ashamed or sorry
now. I’m glad of it!”
The propitiatory words flew away, ns
sbo spoko, like countless rose-petals, un
der her impatient fingers.
Joe was as red and excited by this
time as Rachel herself.
“I wish yo a better temper, Miss Far-
man,” lie said in cutting scorn, “Au’
good-mornin’t’ yo, ladies.” With which
he stitHy raised his battered straw hat
and drove away.
Mro. Farraau ran past the younger wo
man with much tho air of a child expect
ing reproof. She hurried through the
house to licr bedroom, where she shut
nnd locked tlio door. Lying on the
white pillows, between fear nnd disap
pointment she sobbed herself into that
ivoful state of headache which wus eure,
in the end, to cal! birth abundant (Rial
repentance and awkward tenderness.
There should be no cunningly Contrived
meeting to-night.
Ah, but some one else thought tho
sarao thing, in his wrath, when, after a
few moments with his mothoi, he fol
lowed in Rachel’s footsteps. *
“Mis Farman can’t wind me ’round
her little finger,” he growled to himself;
“I guess me an’ liar—this did not refer
to Mrs. Farraau—Is old ’nough to run
our own concerns.” And he took the
same long way home.
In spite of Mrs. Myers, the night Was
lightened by a waning moon Which
presently showed Joe A figure speeding
down the path before him. His pulse
Dent quicker, but lie strode doggedly on,
determined to pass and leave her.
Oh, a young heart is soft. How small
and slight she looked as he drew near I
And he wsb of his mother’s opinion—it
was dark.
“Good evenin', Mbs Farman," he be
gan id her ear, making her jump aud
cry out suddenly, “ain’t ye 'fraid t’ bo
out so late? I’ll wait on ye hom, ef
ye’d like t’ have me.”
Was ever anything as clumsy as a ner
vous man?”
“Well, I wouldn't like I" Rachel spoke
Up. Her voice wbb sharp from pain.
But how was he to know thatl
“Very well, thoa I'll relieve yo of my
comp’ny. ’Tnin't. ez ef 'twas Ben Mar-
tin’s!” He brushed past her in a fury.
Thera wss ono glance, a blessed chance,
idirected at her face. What he saw there
made him pause.
“Wot ye cryin’ fer?” he demanded.
“I ain’t cryin',’’ Which was not true.
“Ye be.”
“’Tain’t nothin’ t’ ye, then, ef I am,”
the girl snap|fed.
“’Tis, too, tho rude fellow muttered,
and—I don’t know what made him—
took her in hia arms.
Any one who knew Mrs. Furman’s soft
persistence as did her family could not
have been surprised at the devices which
she undauntedly employed in the timo to
emne, August passed away, and Hep-
tombor frosts began to fall. Bun Martin
came to call at the little farmhouse Sun
day nights. Joe Myers gave up singing
in the choir, nnd stalked in nnd out of
church unconscious of tho vacant ohair
whore ho had boon wont to sit uud look
over the same hymnbook—O blissful
period I—witti the sweet soprano. And
Rachel’s honrtsick dignity was quick to
Bee through such shallow maneuvers as
busiuess notes about the “iutciast," an
orrand to Myers's nuxtdoor neighbors, or
Mopping at the post-office when her
quondam admirer was to bo seen within.
As she resolutely turned her back upon
those opportunities, her mother was fain
to employ a subtler artifice.
In the first place, the minister’s wife
fell ill.
This gavo tho sohemiug woman hor
chance. Bhe managed that Mrs. Myers
and herself should divide ono day and
night between them as “watchers."
Blio knew Joe would bring his mother
over at dusk to begin her period of
nursing. Then when lie came Mrs.
Farman, ready to leave, had an errand
prepared for him which" entailed a long
walk to the farther end of tho straggling
village, after which ho must return to
tho parsonage.
In tho meantime, breathless, trembling
and glowing, Rachel's mother hurried ou
hoi homeward way and bustled into tho
quiet kitchen whuro her daughter sat
brooding over th i lire in tho dreary
autumn twilight.
“Sakes alive!” she cried at once. “I
fergot 'u' left my gold-rimmed specs t’
th’ minister's. Like ez uot Mis Myers ’ll
wear ’em home fer hors. Wotever shall
I do?”
“Oh, I'll go after ’em," Rachel re
plied iudiffcreutly, catching up a blanket
shawl. “D’ye remember where yo laid
’em down, mat"
"Mis Myers ’ll hunt 'em up fer ye,"
was the impatient rejoiudor, "of ye ain't
afraid t’ start out now; it's gittin’ so
,dnrk. She know's right w’ero I was
settin' when she como in. I shouldn’t
wonder ef they’re on th’ cubbnrd there by
tho mod cine. Anyway, don’t como back
back without 'em child. 1 aiu’t any
thing I set more store by’n wot I do
them specs. They were th' las' thing
yer pa give mo before he died, 1 guess.”
Rachel vaguely wondered that her
mother should seem so tlutterod and in
coherent. Yet her mind was too full,
occupied to dwell deeply upou tilts un
important fact. She listeuo 1 in a dreamy
llstkssness and in a few momenta was
out upon the lonely road.
Joe had told Mrs. Myers of the scene
at the Furman gate. It gave her a much
more lenient judgment of his lady-love.
A. ogether, and after the manner of
mothers, seeing day by day a misery be-
jond her help, she began to think Bite
would not bo sorry to bring the two to
gether.
“It’s a tumble dark night, ain’t it?”
she remarked good-naturedly, as, after a
littleseareb for the missing spectacles,
sho followed Rachel to the parsou’s
door. “My sou’ll be here d’rec’iy. FJ
ye rniud't' wait he’ll be pleased t’ see ye
home, I’m sure.”
The wretched girl turned to stare in
the kindly face above her. Perhaps, in
that moment, the fiercely erected barrier
might have come tu nbliug down but for
the words that followed:
“Your ma sent ‘im over to Salisbury's
t’ see ’bout Mis Taylor's reclinin' chair.
I’m expectin' him back, ev’ry minute."
Rachel bad “seen about” that reclin
ing chair, heiuelf, in tho morning. Bhe
analyzed the Simula plot at once. What
they would tell Joe at Salisbury’s fol
I owe I by the sight of her, would make
him quite wise.
She sprang down the stops.
“Thank ye kindly, Mis My ore,” she
Mrs. Farman was wonderfully appar
eled in her best black alpaca and a pair
of long-flnered white kid gloves. “Don't
young folks boat all to mauagel” she said
i in a garrulous confidence which embraced
the whole wodding assembly. “Seems
t’ one time, Joe’n' Rachel didn’t know
wot they wanted, so I jes' stepped in V
Rook a hold, or they wouldn’t be w’era
they air to-day, I always tell ’em I made
that match, an' they can’t deny it."—

A few Weeks ago an article appeared id
tills paper copied from the Albany. N. Y.,
Journal, giving the particulars of orie of the
inost remarkable cures of the 10th centUry.
The article was under tho heading “A
(Saratoga Co. Miracle,” an 1 excited such
widespread comment that another Albiny
paper—the Express—detailed a reporter to
make a thorough investigation of the state
ments appearing in the Journal’s article.
The facts ns elicited by the Express reporter
are given in the following article, which ap
peared iu that paper on April 16th, and
makeB one of the moat interesting stories
ever related:
A few weeks ago there was published in
the Albany Evening Journal the story of a
most remarkable—indeed so remarkable us
to well justify the term “iuiraeulotU”~eUi‘e
of a severe case of locomotor ataxia, or
creeping paralysis, simply by the use of
Pink Pills for Pale People, and, in comply
ance with instructions, an Express Reporter
ha* been demoting sonic time in a Critical
investigation of tho real facts of the case.
The story of the wonderful cure of Charles
A. Quant, of Galway, Saratoga County,
N. Y., os first told in the Journal, has
been copied into hundreds if not thousands
of other daily ond weekly new-spai»ers UU l
has created such a sensation throughout the
entire country that it was deemed a duty
due ail the. people; and especially the thou
sands of similarly aflJ cted, that the state
ments of the case as made in the Albany
Journal, and copied into so many other
newspapers should, if true, ba vermed; or.
if false, exposed us an imposition upon public
cieduiity.
The result of the ExDrese reporter’s id -
vestigations aujhoriz.'s him in s tying that
the story of Charles A. Quant’s cure of
locomotor ataxia by the use of Pink Pills
(or Pule People, a popular remedy prepare !
and put up by the Ur. Williami Medicine

statements arc not only justiiio I but verifle \
by the fuller development of tho further
facts of tho case.

not all of them fully familiar with the de
tails of this miraculous restoration to health

City and St. Peter's Hospital in Albany—
was dismissed from each as incurable and,
because the case was deemed incurable, tho
man was denied admission into several oth
ers to which application was made in his be
half. The story as told by Mr. Quadt him
telf and published in the Albany Journal, is
as follows:
“My name is Charles A. Quant; I am 37
years old; 1 was born in the village of Gal
way and excepting while traveling on buai-
nese and i*. little while in Amsterdam, have
spout my whole lit o here. \ T p to about eight
years ago I hud nevt i been sick and was
then in perfect health. I wus fully nix feet
tall, weighed 18(j pounds and was very
strong. For Vi years was traveling sales
man for a piano and organ company, and
had to do. or at leant did do, a great deal of
b^avy lit ting, got my meals very irregularly
Hud slept in enough 'spare buds' in coun
try houses to freeze nn ordinary man to
death, or at least give him the rheum*
tism. About eight years ago I begau to
feel distress in my stomach, and comulteJ
several doctors about it,. They all said it
was dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia I was
treated by varioun doctors in different
places, and took ull tho patent medicines 1
could hear of thatciaimoi to be a euro for
dysuepsia. Put 1 .continue 1 to grow grad
ually worse for four years. Then I began
to have pain in my back and legs and be
came conscious that my legs were getting
weuk and my step unsteady, and then I
staggered when I walked. Having received
no benefit from the use of patent modiciues,
and feeling that I was constantly growing
worse, 1 then, upon advice, began tue use of
olectric belts,part* and all the many different
kinds of electric appliances I could hear of.
and *pent hundreds of dollars lor them, but
they did mo no good. (Here Mr. Quant
showed the Journal reporter an electric suit
oi underwear, lor which he paid $124.) Jin
the fall o£ 1866 the doctors advised a c.iange
Of climate, so I went to Atlanta, Ga., and
acted as agent for the Estey Organ Com
pany, While there I took a thorough elec
tric treatment, but it. only S'emed to aggra
vate my disease, and the only relief I could
get from the sharp and distressing p iins was
to take morphine. The pain was so in
tense at times that it seemed as tnough I
could not stand it, and i almost longed for
death as the only certain relief. In Septem
ber of 1888 my legs gave out entirely and my
left eye was drawn to one side, so that I had
double sight and was dizzy. My trouble go
affected my whole nervous system that I
had to give up busiuess. Then l returned to
New York ami went to the Roossvelt Hos
pital, where for four months 1 was treated
by specialists nnd they pronounced my case
locomotor ataxia and incurable. After I
bad been under treatment by ! Tof. Starr
and Dr. Ware lor four months, they told me
they had done all they could for me. Then
I went to the New York Hospital on Fif
teenth street, where, upou examination,they
said 1 was incurable and would not take me
in. At the Presbyterian Hospital they ex
amined me and told me th* same thing. In
March, 181)0, I was taken to St. Peter’s Hos
pital in Albany, where Prof. H. H. Hun
frankly told my wife my case was hopeless;
that he could do nothing for moand that she
had better take me back home aud save my
money. But I wanted to make a trial of
Prof. Hun’s famous skill and I remained
undor his treatment, for nine weeks, but se
cured no benelit. AU this time l ha l been
growing worse. I had become entirely
paralyzed from my waist down an i had
partly lost control of my bands. The pain
was terrible; my legs felt as though they
were f reoziug and my stomach would uot re
tain food, and l felt away to 120 pounds.
In the Albany Hospital they putsevontem
big burns on my back one day with re I hot
irons,and after a few days they put fourteen
toole burns on aud treated me with elec
tricity, but I got worse rather than better;
lost control ot' my bowels and water, and,
upon advice of the doctor, who said
there was no hope for me, l was brought
home, where it was thought that deat h would
soon como to relieve me of my sufferings,
l^ast September, while in this helpless and
suffering condition, a friend of mine in
Hamilton, Out., called my attention to the
statement of one John Marshall, whose case
had been similar to mv own. ami who had
been cured by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People. In this case Mr. Mar
shall, who is a prominent member of the
Royal Templars of temperance, had, after
four years of constant treatment by the
most eminent Canadian physicians, been
pronounced incurable, and paid the flOOO
total disability claim allow’ed by the order in
such cases. Some months after Mr. Mar
Khali began a course of treatment with Ur.
Williams’ Pink Pills, and after taking some
16 boxes was fully restored to health. I
thought 1 would try them, and my wife sent
for two boxes ot the pills, and l took them
accorling to the directions on the wrapper
on each box. For the first few days the
cold baths were pretty severe as l was so
very weak, but I continued to follow in
structions as to taking The pills and the
treatments aud even before I had used up
the two boxes of the pills 1 began to feel
beneficial results from thorn. My pains were
not so bajJ. 1 felt warmer; my head felt
better; my food began to relish aud agree
with me; LoouUt straighten up, the feeling
began to come back into my limbs; I lie-
gnu to be able to get about on crutches;
my eye came back again as good as ever,
and now. alter the use of eight boxes of the
Dills, at a costof oulv >4.00—see!—I can with
tbe help ot a cane oniy, wane au about tae
house aud yard, can saw wood, and on pleas
ant days 1 walk down town. My stomach
trou do is gone; 1 have gaine I 10 pounds; L
feel like a new man, an I when the spring
opens i expect to be aide to renew my organ
aud piano agency. I cannot speak in too
high terms of Dr. Williams’Pink Pills for
Pale People, as t know they saved my life
after all the doctors had given me up as in
curable.’’
Such is tho won lerful story which the Ex
press reporter h usuceee led iu securing ver
fftcatiou of in ail its details, from the hos
pital records where Mr. Quant was treated
and from the doctors who ha 1 the case in
hand' and who pronounced him incurable.
Let it be remembered that all this hospital
treatment was two and three years ago.
while his cure, by the Use Ot Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills lor Pale People, has beep effected
since last September, 18M. So it in beyona
a doubt evident that his recovery s wholly
dtie to the ose of these famous pills which
have been fodrtd to have made such remerk-
atde cures in this and other eases.

To verify Mr. Quant’s statement our re-
porter a few days ago, (March 31st, 189!,)
called on Dr. Allen Starr at his office, No.
22 West Twenty-eighth 8t., New York city.
t)r. Starr is house physician of tho Roose
velt hospital, situated corner of Ninth
avenue and Fifty ninth street. In reply to
inquiry he said be remembered the case of
Mr. Quant very Well, add treated him some,
but that he was chiefly treated an i Udder
the more especial care of Dr. Ware. He
laid ho regarded this case as he did all cases
bt locorriotor ataxia as incurable. In order
that our reporter iillsfht get- a copy of the
history of tbe cas3 or Mr. Qil&rtt from the
ho*p;tul record he very courteously gave him
a letter of which the following is a copy: —
Dr M A. Starr, 2:3 Wost Forty-eighth
Street, offle'e hours, U to 12 a. m*. New York,
March fist* L6fU.~De»ir Dr Vought: If you
have any record of a loccJinotcr ataxia by
name of" Quant, who says he Came to tbe
clinic 3 or 4 years ago, No. 14,037, of the O.
D. Dept., Roosevelt, sent to me from Ware,
will you let tho bearer know. If you have
no record send him to RooeeveH Hosp.
Your*, bTARR.
fty means of thie letter access to the rec-
8Ms was ngfffiitted and a transcript of the
history of Mr, Qdadt’sCase made from them
hs follows:
“No. 1-1,037. Admitted September 16th,
I860, Charles A. Quant, aged 34 years. Born
U. S. Married. Hoboken.”
“History of the case;—Dyspepsia for past
four or ft ve year* A bout 14 months’ partial
loss of power and numbness In lower ex
tremlties. Girdling sensation about abdo
men. (November 29th, 1889, not improve!,
external strabismus of left eye and dilata
l ion of the left eye.) Some difficulty in (>ass
ihg water at times; no headache but some
dizz ness; alternate diarrhoea an I constipa
tion; partial ptosis past two weeks in left
eye.
’ “Ord. R. F. Bi pep. arid Ho in.”
These are th.» market symptoms of a
severe case of locomotor ataxia. “And Dr.
Starr said a case with such marked symp
toms c mid not be cured and Quant, who wa»
receiving treatment in the out-patient de
partment, was glted Up as Incurable.”
“ There never was a case recovered in th«
world.” said Dr. Starr. An 1 then said:
“Dr. Ware can tell you moro about the cas3
ns Quant was tinder his more personal treat
ment. I am surprised, he sail “that the
man Is alive, as 1 thought he iniist be dead
long ago.”
Our reporter found Dr. Edward Ware at
his office, No. 162 West Ninety-third street,
New York. He said: “I have very distinct
recollections of the Quant case. It was a
very pronounced case. 1 treate 1 him about
fight months. This was in the early sum
mer of 1890. I deemed him incurable, and
thought him dead before now. imagine my
surprise When I njeeived a letter from him
about two weeks ago tolling me t hat he was
alive, was getting well and expecte I soon to
be fully recovered.”
“What do you think, doctor, was tho
cause of his recovery.”
“That is more than I know. Quant seys
be has been taking some sort of pills aud that
they have cured mm. At all events, l am
glad the poor fellow is getting well, for hia
was a ban case and he was a great sufferer.”
Dr. Theodore R. Tuttle, of 319 West
Eighteenth street, to whom our reporter fs
indebtal for assisting courtesies, «»ii of
locomotor ataxia; “I have had several
cases of this disease in tho course of my
practice. I will not say (hat it is incurable,
out L never knew of a case to get well; but f
will say it is not deemed curable by any
remedies known to the medical profession.
After this successful and confirmatory in-
vewtigatlon In New* York, our reporter,
Saturday, April 2d, 1892, visited St. Peter’s
Hospital, in Albany, corner of Albany and
Ferry streets. He had a courteous reception
by Sister Mary Philomana. the sister
superior of St. Peter’s Hospital, and when
told of the object of hia visit sai i she retnem-
Lx-Ted tho case of poor Mr. Quant very dis
tinctly. Said she: “It was a very distress
ing case and excited my sympathies much.
Poor fellow, he couldn’t be cured and had to
go borne in a terrible condition of hetol s»-
ness and suffering.” The house physician,on
consulting the records of 8t, Peter’s Hospital,
said he found only that Charles A. Quant
entered the hospital March 14th, 1890, was
treated by Dr. Henry Hun, assisted by Dr.
Van Darveer, who was then, 1890, at the
head of the hospital, an t taai nis case being
deemed not possible of cure, he left the
hospital and was taken to his home, as he
supposed to die.
Such is the full history of this most re
markable case of successful recovery from a
heretofore supposed incurable disease, au i
after all the doctors had given him up, by
the biruple use of Dr. Williams Pink Pilts
lor Pate People. Truly it is an interesting
story of n most miraculous cure of a dreadful
disease by tho simple use of this popular
vemedv.
A further investigation revealed the fact
that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are not a patent
medicine iu the sense in which that term is
generally understood, but are a scientific
preparation successfully used in geuera!
practice for many years before being offered
to the public generally They contain in a
condensed form all the elements uecessary to
give now life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are an un-
fai ing specific for such diseases as locomotor
utaxiu, partial paralysis, St- Vitus dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after effect* of la grippe,
palpitation of the heart, pale aud sallow
complexions, that tired feeling resulting
from nervous prostration, all diseases
depending upou vitiated humors in th-5 blood,
such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc.
They are also a specific for troubles peculiar
to females, such as suppressions, irregulari
ties and all forms of weakness. Ttipy build
up the blood nnd restore the glow of health
to | ale or sallow cheeks. In the case of men
they effect a radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, over-work or excesses of
whatever nature.
On further inquiry the writer fouud that
these pills are manufactured bv the Dr.
Williams Medicine Company, Brockviile,
Ontario, and Morristown, N. Y., and are
sold in boxes (never in loose form by the
dozen or hundred) at 60 cents a box, or six
boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all drug
gist* or direct by mail from Dr. Williams
Medicine Company, from either address.
The price at which these pills are sold makes
a course of tref trnent comparatively inex
pensive as compared with other remedies or
medical treatment. ^
