A medical mau at the city of Aix-en-Provenco
has a son who had been su.Tcr
ing from whooping cough. One day tho
(on told him that nt school tho teicher
of chemistry had evaporated some
naphthaline and that tho fumes had im
mediately suppressed the irritation of
the throat that would have made him
cough. In order to remove the fumes a
window had been opened, after which
tho whoopiug cough had come onagain.
The doctor evaporated naphthaline by
tho bedside of the boy, who felt much
relieved and .j.veut to sleep. The peifi
morning the "cough was much better.
The same was done again on the night
following, after which the patient was
entirely cured of his cough. Then th
doctor himself was afiheted with a
whooping cough. lie tried the same
means ana was cured on the third day.
He then proceeded to employ tho remedy
and had great success. At a boarding
house thirty persons were seized with
whooping cough and had the naphthaline
vapors applied. It cured all except two
nuns, who could not stand the vapor, as
they were alHicta I with tuberculosis.

he was belaboring his unconscious victim
with a heavy pieco of wood I This drunken
criminal, temporarily lockel , was a
criminal undoubtedly, because erased and

A FIGHT TOH BOnniKTT.
Before the big village of Hyda Park was
annexed to Chicago that handsome ant well
behaved suburb of the great Western city
was run on a strictly prohibition plan, and
when it consented to cast its lot with the
Jarger municipality the right to keep out
'saloons was reserved. Now the gool people
ot Hyde 1'ark are engaged in a hard struggle
to maintain the unique character of their
section as a temperance oasis In tho desert of
dramshops and drunkenness around it. They
deserve the sympathies of ail friends of so
briety and good ordor, for It is an exceed
ingly difficult thing to keep saloons out of
any part of Chicago, and they will win their
fight, if they win it at all, against heavy
odds. Just as an object lesson, and In order
that comparisons may be posiible, it is to
be hoped that Hyde Park ran be kept "dry"
for uianv years toooiue. 'Jlevelan i Leader,

Lady Honry Somerset, who recently re
turned to England from an extended visit to
the United States,addressd tho Temperance
Assembly in Liverpool.
In replying to several addresses of wel
come she said that the dawn of the day had
arrived which would bring their cause a
great victory. The temperanoa party In tha
United States, continued Lady Somerset,
was dailv growing in strengtli and import
ance. She had found during her trip to the
United states a universally sober woman
hood. File had been present at a number ot
social affairs at which intoxicating dnnks
were among the refreshment o(Trei to the
juesta, and she had seen only one . woman
partake of wine or liquor.
The temperance work In the United States
was conducted on a grand scale, and the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union was
wielding a powerful influence throughout
the whole country. Lady Somerset declared
that it was not trus that the cauie of pro
hibition was a failure in the State of Maine.
The illicit traffic in intoxicants was very
limited, and as a proof that the ezciss laws
were strictly tnforced she said that sli3 her
self was oognisvit of cases which happenei
within the last threo mouths where quanti
ties of liquor had been seir, ri by the officials
and the sellers of the prohibited goods had
beeu convicted and sentenced to jail for the
term of imprisonment prescribed by law.
TBK DRINK HABIT t I SCOTLAND,
Prinking both moderate and immo lorate,
is much more e.immnn in the British Isles
than in the United States. The fact is, the
church, and thiR is especially true in Hoot
land, has not yet ca-.t out tins curse ot the
nineteenth century. Brewers and saloon
keepSrs are p rmitted not onl to bo mem
bers, but offioj holders in the church in
Scotland. Two or three months ago, at the
instillation dinner, given to the pastor of
the Edinburgh churches (the banquet was
held at a "temperance" hnt?l) wine was pro
vided for all the guests. Not long ago the
papers reported that a member of the Glas
gow Presoyterv had introduced a resolution
that license holders, or saloon keepers,
should not be permitted to hold office in the
church. He found only two members to
support his resolution. The consequence of
all this is apparent in the babita of the peo
ple. You cannot walk through the streets
on Saturday evening without meeting dos
ens of men, and often women, reeling along
the sidewalk.
Drinking amons women is much more
common in the British Isles than in the
United States. Ou holidays it is no uncom
mon thing to see the saloons half full of
women. About two-thirds of the groceries
in Edinburgh sell liquor. This has greatly
increased drinking at home, as many women
order liquor w.th their groceries wno would
not enter a saloon to buy. During; the oold
months of November and December
you see dozens of barefooted, raggud, hungry-looking
children running the streets.
Yet, no leas tuau ftisaooO is annually ex
pended iu charity in Edinburgh. "But,"
says Mr. D, Lewis, "the drink traffic has
counteracted our labors to an almost in
credible extent." The Voice.
DEER AND BOOZS.
No one knows just what strong drink will
do to a person, for two reasons. First, no
one knows jnst how a particular constitution
will be affected, and second, no one knows
just what infernal dru;s and poisons the
rum seller may have mixed in that particu
lar lot of booze, in addition to the regular
"bottled devil" it contains.
Snys a physician: "Parsons who are heavy
and lethargic should never touch beer I do
not mean physically, but for its mental ef
fect. If 1 drink halt a glass of beer at din
ner nothing on earth interests me for an
hour afterward but an easy chair, slippers
and a quiet nap. If my wife, on the other
hand, drinks a glass of beer, it sets her
nerves tingling and she wants to dress and
go to the theatre, or a do show. There is
no tellinz exa-Jtly what the effect of drink
ing beer will be on a man, but it is always
interesting to rae in traveling to note the
differences in the faces of people who drink
various beverages. In the West, for in
stance, whisky is the staple; the men are
sharp, active, nervous, lean, thin and intense.
They can get along with six hours sleep, be
cause they take a cocktail before breakfast
which stirs up the energy which the short
hours of sleep have taken away. In Berlin,
where they drink baerallthe time, the men
are heavy, stout an 1 loggy. They sleep nine
hours a niht, an I vary frequently take an
hour's nap in a chair in a bear garden during
the day. In Frauue, where they drink wiue,
the men have sallow skin aud wrinkled
feces. The wine has a slightly stimulating
effect, but not as much a one as the whisky
ot our nobility ot tbe West. The best thing
for a man to drink is water. Never make
any mistake about that. I am not a teeto
taller, but I am able to look at the thing
clearly, and I know, as every other mm of
the world doos, that nine-truths of tha mis
chief in society comes from drink. Many a
woman goes wrong who would never have
thought of it it it bad not been for the pre
liminary champagne, besides, it is the best
opinion of medicul experts everywhere in
the world that a man is healthier without
wines or liquors of any s ire than be is with
them." SufesuarJ.

in the History or Medi

A few weeks ago an article appeared In
this paper copied from the Albany, It. Y.(
Journal, giving the particulars of ode Ot the
most remarkable cures of tha 19th century.
The article Was under tha heading "A
Saratoga Co. Miracle," and excited such
widespread comment that another Albany
pnpei the Express detailed a reporter to
make a thorough Investigation of the state
ments appearing in the Journal's article.
The facts as elicited by the Express reporter
are given in the following article, which ap
peared in that paper on April 10th, and
makes one of the most Interesting stories
ever related !
A few weeks ago there was published in
the Albany Evening Journal tbe story of a
most remarkable indeed so remarkable as
to well justify tbe term "miraculous" euro
of a severe case of locomotor ataxia, or
creeping pnralysis, simply by the use of
Pink Pills for Pale People, and, in comply
ance with instructions, an Express Reporter
has beeu devoting some time in a critical
investigation of tho real facts of the case.
The story of the wonderful enreof C'hsYles
A. Quant, of Ualway, Saratoga County,
N. Y.. as first told in the Journal, has
been copied into hundreds if not thousauds
of other daily and weekly newspapers and
has created such a sensation throughout tbe
entire country that it was deemed a duty
due all the people, and especially ths thou
sands of similarly afflicted, that tbe state
ments of the case as made in tne Albany
Journal, and copied into so many other
newspapers should, if true, be Yenned; or,
if false, exposed as an Imposition upon public
credulity.
The result of the Express reporter's in
vestigations authorizes him In saying that
the story of Charles A. Quant's cure ot
locomotor ataxia bv the use of Pink Pills
lor Pale People, a popular remedy prepared
and put up by tbe Dr. Williams Modiolus
Company, Morristown, N. i ., and Brock
ville, Ontario, IS TRUE, and that all its
statements are not only justified but Verlfle.l
by the fuller development of the further
tacts of the case.
Perhaps tbe readers of the Express are
not all of them fully familiar Willi the de
tails of tins miraculous restoration to uealtu
of a man who after weeks and months of
treatment by the most skillful doctors in
two of ths best hospitals in the State of New
Yorkktbe Koosovelt Hospital in New York
City and Bt. Peter's Hospital in Albany-
was dismissed ironi eacn as incurable and,
because tbe case was deemed Incurable, the
man was denied admission into several oth
ers to which application was made in bis be
half. The story as told by Mr. Quant him
Felt and published in the Albany Journal, is
as follows:
"My name is Charles A. Quant; I am 37
years old; 1 was corn iu tue village of Ual
way and excepting while traveling on busi
ness aud a little while in Amsterdam, have
spent my whole life here. Up to about eight
years ago I had never been sick aud was
then in perfect health. I was fully six feet
tail, weighed lwi pounus ami was very
strong. For 12 years was traveling sales
man for a piauo' and organ company, and
had to do, or at least did do, a great deal of
heavy lilting, got my meals very irregularly
and slept in enough 'spuro beds' in coun
try houses to freeze an ordinary man to
death, or at least give hiin the rheuma
tism. About eight years ago 1 began to
feel distress in my stomach, and consulted
several doctors about it. They all said it
was dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia I was
treated by various doctors in different
places, and took all the patent medicines I
could bearot that claime I to be a cure for
dysptpiia. but 1 continued to grow grad
ually worse for tour years. Then I begun
to have p.iin iu my back and legs and lie
came conscious that my legs were getting
weak and my step unsteady, and then I
staggered when 1 walked. Having received
no benefit from the use of patent medicines,
and feeling that I was constantly growing
worse, 1 then, upon advice, began the use ot
electric belts, pads and all the many different
kinds of electric appliances I could hear of,
and spent hundreds of dollars lor them, but
they did me no good. (Here Mr. Quant
showed the Journal reporter an electric suit
of underwear, tor which he paid $124.) In
the fall of 1884 the doctors advised a c.iange
of climate, sol went to Atlanta, Ua., and
acted as agent for tbe Estey Organ Com
pany. bile there 1 took a thorough elec
tric treatment, but it only s -emed to aggra
vate my disease, and the only reliof I could
get from the Bharpand distreesingpains was
to take morphine. The pain was so in
tense at times that it seemed as though I
could not stand it, and I almost longed for
death as the only certain relief. In Septem
ber of 1888 my legs gave outentirely aud my
left eye was drawn to one side, so that I had
double sight and was dizzy. My trouble so
affected my whole nervous system that I
had to give up business. Then I returned to
New York aud went to tbe Koosevelt Hos-
Eltal, where for four months I was treated
y specialists and they pronounced my case
locomotor ataxia and incurable. After I
had been under treatment by Prof. Starr
and Dr. Ware for four months, they told uis
they had done all they could for me. Then
1 went to the New York Hospital on Fif
teenth street, where, upon examination, they
said 1 was incurable aud would not take me
in. At the-Presbyterian Hospital they ex
amined me and told me tbe 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 mean 1 that she
had better take me bacii borne aud save my
money. But 1 wanted to muke a trial of
rroi. nun's lamoua sum and i remaiueu
under bis treatment for nine weeks, but se
cured no benefit. All this time I ha 1 been
growing worse. I had become entirely
paralyzed from my waist down and bad
tartly lost coutrol of my hauls. The pain
was terrible; my lugs felt as though they
were freezing and my stomach would not re
tain foo l, and i fell away to 1-0 pounds,
'n the Albany Hospital they put seventeen
big burns on my back one day with red hot
irous,and alter a few days they put fourteen
more burns on and treated me. with elec
tricity, but I got worse rather than better;
lost coutrol of my bowels and water, and,
upon advice of the doctor, who said
there was no hops for me, I was brought
home, where it was thought that death would
soon come to relieve me of my sufferings.
Ijast (September, while in this helpless and
sulTering condition, a friend ot mine in
Hamilton, Out., culled my attention to the
statement of oue Johu Marshall, whose case
had beeu similar to my own, aud who had
been cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People. Ill this case Mr. Mar
shall, who is a prominent member of the
Royal Templars of 1 eiupvramw, had, after
tour years of constant treatment by the
most eminent Canadian physiciaus, tieen
pronounced incurable, and paid the flO'JO
total disability claim allowed by the order in
such cases. Some months alter Mr. Mar
shall began a course of treatment with Dr.
Williams' Pink X ills, aud alter taking some
15 boxes was fully restored to health. I
thought I would try them, aud my wife sent
for two boxes of the pills, but 1 took mem
accorlmg to the directions oil the wrapper
each box. For the nrst few nays the
cold baths were pretty severe as 1 was so
verv weak, but I contiuuej to follow in-
it ructions as to taking the pills and the
treatment, and even Oof ore. I bail used up
the two boxes of the pills 1 began to lea;
beneficial results from them. My pains were
not so had. i felt warmer; my head felt
lietu-r; my fool began to relish and airee
with me; I could straighten up; the feeling
began to uouie back into my limbs; I be
gan to be able to get about ou crutches;

aud now, alter the use of eight boxes of tha

press reporter hajsuccaeled iu secui-thj ver
lllcatioii ot in all its details, from the hos
pital records where Mr. Quaut was treated
and from the doctors who had the case iu
hand and' who pronounced hiiu'incurahle.
l-t it be remembered that, all this hospital
treatment was two aud three years ago,
while his cure, by ths use of Dr, WiUiauur
Pink Pills for Pals Fermi a, hs.s bam ffaotsd
inns last September. 1891. So it is beyond
"a doubt evident that his recovery is wholly
due to the nse of these famous puis wnicn

To verify Mr, Quant's statement our re
porter a few days ago, (March 81st, lWi,)
called on Dr. Allen Starr at his ollice, No.
211 West Twenty-eighth St., New York city.
nr. ntarr is house physician of the noose-
Velt hospital, situated onrntf of Ninth
avenue and Fifty-ninth street. In reply to
inquiry he said he remembered the case ot
Mr, Quant very well, and treated him some,
but that he was chiefly fronted and under
the more especial care ot Dr. Ware. He
said he regarded this case as be did nil cases
of locomotor ataxia as incurable. In order
that our reporter might get a copy of the
history of tbe cass of Mr. Quant from the
hospital record he very courteously gave Lim
a letter of which the following is a copy:
Dr. M.A. Starr. iM West Forty-eighth
street, ottlce hours, 9 to 13 a. in.. New York,
March 91st, mi. Dear Dr. Vougbti If you
have any record of a locomotor ataxia by
name of Quant, who says he came to tha
clinicS or 4 years ajo, No. 14,03, of the O.
u. Kept,, Koosevelt, sent to me rrom veare,
will you let the bearer know. If you have
no record send him to Roosevelt Hosp.
Yours, Starr,
Bv means of this letter access to the rec
ords was permitted and a transcript of the
history of Mr. Quant's case made from them
as follows!
"No. 14,037. Admittol September 10th,
18SH, Charles A. Quant, aged 114 years, borq
U. S. Married. Hoboken."
"History of the cases Dyspepsia for past
four or five years. About 14 months' partial
loss of power and numbness in lower ex
tremities. Otrdling sensation about abdo
men. (November 20th, 18SII, not Improve-i,
external strobismus ot left eye and dilata
tion of the left eve.) Some difficulty in pass
ing water at times: no headache but soma
dizziness! alternate diarrhoaa and constipa
tions partial ptosis past two weeks in left
eye.
"Ord. R. K. Bl pep. and 8o la."
These are tha marked symptoms ot a
severe case of locomotor ataxia. "And Dr.
Starr said a case with such marked symp
toms could uot be cured aud Quant, who was
receiving treatment In the out-patient do
DnrtmenL. was Eiveu uo as incurable."
"There never was a case recovered in th3
world." said Dr. Starr. Ant then said:
"Dr. Ware can tell you more about the casj
as Quant was under his more personal treat
ment. I am surprised, he said "that ths
man is alive, as 1 thought hs must be dead
long ago,"
Our reporter found Dr. Kdwara ware at
his oIllce.sMo. UM West Ninety-third Btreet,
New York. He said: "I have very distinct
recollections of the Quant cose, it was a
very pronounced case. 1 treatei him about
pin lit months. This was in the earlv sum
mer of lSW. I deemed him incurable, and
thought him dead liefora now. Ircagiue ntv
surprise when 1 received a letter from him
about two weeks ago telling me that he was
alive, was getting well aud expectei soon to
be tuny recoverai.
"What do you think, doctor, was tha
cause of his recovery."
"That is mors than I know. Quant says
he has been taking some sort of pills and that
tney nave cured mm. At au events, i am
glad the poor fellow is getting well, for bis
was a bad case and lie was a great suiiarer."
Dr. TheoJore K. Tuttle, of 81! West
Eighteenth street, to whom our reporter is
indebtel for assisting courtesies, said ot
locomotor ataxia: "I have had several
cases of this disease in ths course ot mv
practice. 1 will not say that it is incurable,
but 1 never knew ot a case to get well ; but 1
will say it is not deemed curable by any
remedies known to the medical profession."
After this successful and conciliatory in
vestigation in New York, our reporter.
Saturday, April 2d, 189J, visited St. Peter's
Hospital, in Albany, corner of Albany and
Ferry streets. He had a courteous reception
by Sister Mary Philomena, the sister
superior of St. Peter's Hospital, and when
told oi the object oi ms visir.said sue remem
bered the case of poor Mr. Quant very dis
tinctly. Said she: "ft was a very distress
ing case and excited my sympathies much.
Poor fellow, he couldu't be cured and had to
go home in a terrible condition oi helpless
ness and suffering." The bouse physician, on
consulting the recordsof bt. feter Hospital,
said he found only that Charles A. Quant
entered the hospital Murcb 14th, 11, was
treated by Dr. Henry nun, assisted by ur.
Van Derveer, who was then, 1890, at the
bead of tbe hospital, and that his case being
deemed not possible of cure, he left the
hospital and was taken to his home, as he
supposed to die.

A further investigation revealed the fact
that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not a patent
medicine in the sense in which that term is
generally understood, but are a scientific
nrebaration successfully used in general
practice for many years before being oflereJ
to tbe publio generally. They contaiu iu a
condensed form all the elemeuts'uecessary to
give new life aud richness to tne blood and
restore shattered nerves, l'hey are an uu-
fai.ing siecitic for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, si. v itus oance,
sciatica, ueurauia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the atler eirects 01 la gripjie,
palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow

from uervous prostration; au aiseases
depending upon vitiated humors in the blood,

Tbev are also a suecinc tor trouble! peculiar
to females, such as suppressions, irregulari

As easily answered as asked. It is
for Dyspepsia. It is a special rem

Nothing more than this. We believe
August Flower cures Dyspepsia.
We know it will. We have reasons
for knowing it. To-day it has an
honored place in every town and
country store, possesses one of the
largest manufacturing plants in the
country, and sells everywhere. The
reason is simple. It does one thing-,
and does it right. It cures dyspepsias
