investigation of the real facts of he case.
The story of the wonderful cure of Chas.
A. Quant, of Galway, Saratoga County,
N. Y.,' as first told in the Journal, has been
copied into hundreds, if not thousands, of
other daily and weekly newspapers and has
created such a sensation throughout the
entire country that it was deemed a duty
due all the people and especially the
thousands of similarly afflicted, that' the
statements of the 'case as made in the
Albany Journal and copied into so many
other newspapers should, if true, ile verified ;
or, if false, exposed as an imposition upon
public credtility. a

of a man who after weeks and Months of i
treatment by the most skillful doctors in e
two of the 'best . hospitals in the state of
New York -the Roosevelt Hospital in New
York City and St. ' Peter's Hospital in
Albany -was dismissed from each as .incur-
able and, because the case was (:teemed in- '
acverat UtrlOTs e0 wintui •at.o...•"••-:.-- '4..4.- V
made in his behalf. '!The story as told by
Jlr. Quant Himself and published in• the
Albany Journal, is as follows :
”" My name is Charles A. Quant. I am •
37 years old. 1 was horn in the village of
Galway and excepting while travellii g on '
business and a little while in Amsterdam, •
have spent my whole • life here. Up to
about eight years ago." had never been sick
and waa then in perfect health. I was fully
six feet tall, weighed 1St) pounds and was
very strong. For 12 years I was travelling
salesman for 'a piano' and organ . ompany,
and had to do, or at least did • do, a great
deal • of heavy lifting, got my meals very
irregularly and slept in enough 'spare beds'
in' country houses to freeze any ordinary
man to death,, 1(r at least give him the. p
• rheumatism. About eight years ago I .began ea
to feel .distress in my sternach, •and con N
suited several doctors about it. They all Y
said it was dyspepsia, anti for dyspepsia I t
was treated by various' doctors in different :�
places, and took all' 'the patent 'medicines I re
could hear of that ' claimed to be lea
a cure for dyspepsia, but " eon- hi
tinned to grow gradually worse an
for four years. Then 1 began' to have /\\
pain in my bark and legs, and became con-' di
seism', that guy legs were getting weak and 1)1
my sip unsteady, and then I staggered a
• when.] walked. Having received no bsnetit l4.►
from the use of patent medicines, and feel- co
ing that I was constantly growing %t arse., I foi
•hen, upon advice, began the use of electric
belts; pads and all the many, different:kind's str
of electric appliances I could hear of, and ye
spent hundreds of dollars , for thein, but of
they did me no good. (Isere Mr. Quant Ly
showed, the Journal reporter an electric suit efi
of underwear, for which he paid 8124.) In O,
the fall of 1888 the doctors advised a change w
of climate, so I went to Atlanta, Ga., and ha
acted as agent for the Estee Organ Com- Ho
pany. While there. I took a thorough
. electric treatment, but it only seemed to nor
aggravate my disease, and the only relief I hie
could get from the sharp and distressing as
pains was to take morphine. The pain was a
so intense at tunes that it seemed aQ though is
I could not etand it, and I almost longed for Bo
death as the only certain relief. In Sep; t
tember of 1888 my legs gave out entirely pas
. and my left eye Was drawn to one 'side, so par
that I ad double sight and was dizzy. My ext
trou} so affected my whole nervous sys• •abd
tem hat I had t'give' upbusiness.
o pro
Then I returned to New York and went' dila
to the Roosevelt Hospital, where for -four fn
months I was treated by specialists and son
.they pronounced my case , locomotor stip
ataxia and incurable. After I had been lef
, under treatment ,by Prof. Starr and 1)r'. 4.1
Ware for four months, they told me they, '1
had done all they could for me. Thee �I
went to the New York hospital on Fif-
teenth street, where, upon examination,
- Ihry said I was incurable and world not
"eke me in. At the l'reshvterian hospital

After this euccessful and c•wilirrnatory
investigation in Ncw York-, cur reporter on
Saturday, April Sud 1r;!)'� visited St.
Peter's lfo:'pitel, iu :hid, 1s92,
corner of
Albany and 1''t rry streets. Ile had a
courteous reception by 8isttlr .\I•ary 1'hil-
nm008, the soler superior of St. Pe"ter'e
Hospital, and when told the object of his
visit, said she remembered the case of
poor Mr. Quant very distinctly. Said
she : " It was a very dist' essiug case and
excited my sy'repirthies much. Poor fel-
low, he couldn't be cured and had to go
home in a terrible condition of helplessnues
and suffering." The house physician, en
consulting the records of St. Peter's 1-10x•
pital, said he found only that Charles A.
Quant entered the hospital March 14th,
1890, was treated by Dr. Henry Hun, as-
sisted by Dr. Van Dervee r, who was then,
18J0, at the head of the 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.
Such 'is the full history of this most
remarkable case of successful recovery from
a heretofore supposed incurable disease, and
after all the doctors had given him up, by
the simple use of Dr.. Williams' fink Pills
for Pale 1 eople; • Truly it is an interesting
story of a most miraculous cure of a dreadful
disease by the simple use of this popular
remedy -
'A further' investigations revealed the
fact that 111•. Williams' fink 1'i11s the

which that term is t1sually understood,

life 0111 richness to the blood, and restore
shattered nerves. • They are an unfailing
specific for such diseases as loccinotorataxia,
'par tial paralysis, ti,. Vitus" dance, sciatica,
neuralgia, rheurnatism, nervous headache,

• Oa fsrther Inquiry the writer • found
that these ,pills are manufactured by the.
'Dr. ,' \Williar)is' 'Medicine Company, Brock-
' . ville,,Ohtario, and 1\lorristown, N. Y.,
and aro sold in boxes (never in loose
form by .the dozen or' hundred) at ,50
cents a box; or 'six. boxes for $2.50, and.]
may be had of all druggists or direct by
mail from I )r. Williams' Medicine• Coin-

at which these -pills, are sold makes a
course of treatment comparatively inex
t pensive as . compared with other r'eme-

The W. C. T. U. is the Largest organiza-
tion of woolen the world has ever seen. its
forerunner i as the Temperance Crusaders,
and the first crusader was Mrs. 'Elisa J.
Thompson, of Hillsboro, O. Mie. Thompson
was the daughter of 'a Governor, the wife
ofa judge and the mother .of a clergyman,
and in 50 clays had X50,1/00 women on their
krees praying in ealoous in ,100 towns and
villages. If the IN C. T. U. are impractic-
able.theorisls they do not know it, but go
en just as if they.w•er•e not. Their latest
acilievuurnt is the building of a 81,poo,000
temple el 'Chicago, which,' is to be opened-
tl:isnlonth. 7 he Chicago Hera/el says that
when the temperance women leased the
corner of More avenue and La Salle
street of \larshall Field 'for 20e
i years Chicago raised its eyebrows,
but said nothing The building now
• stands thirteen stories high in a French
Gothic dress. The business woman who has
carried it, through is Mrs: Matilda B.
;'Carse, of the Woman's. Temperance Build-
ing Association. She is President. There
is a capital stock. of $600,000. Of this, $400,-
000 has been subscribed by women and the
4
penny banks of cherub bands and baby
bands, such as are /included by the vast
machinery of the organization. In addition
to its own offices and the commodious Wil-
lard Hall, which ie so 'named in honor of
Miss Frances E. Willard, the President of
'the now world wide organization, the rental
'for offices will bring an annually $250,000..
Whatever the W. C. T. U. may or may not
accomplish it has shown under its able tae-
, Helens a remarkable capacity for organiza-
tion and noteworthy business and executive
ability. •

keen as a razor, he used, and the fruit c:11t
into slices 'intieltesin4111y thin, and built,
layer about with pulverized sugar. '
Since the spoon has been relegated out of
modern dinner civilix,,tien almost, a fork is
used to eat it with. In southern Europe
the peasants always eat fruit in its natural
shape, and never think of treating it :to
doses of sugar, . salt or• other seasonieg.
Around Naples and in Malaga'the people
bite a hole in the orange, suck out the juice,
and then throw the orange away. Small
Arno -lean people often do the same,, but of
course the American must try his hand .at
improving nature, so he puts a lump of
sugar in it. An orange planter thinks such
a thing desecration.
On board•ship a unique way is always a
popular way to do anything. There they
take an orange, and, with a very sharp
knife, cut off a slice of skin across the top.
This is placed below the orange and' skew-
ered by a fork into position. Holding the
fork iu the left hand, the knife curs down
the peeling, which indifferently falls, ytf or
hangs dowel.
Then the same knife cuts the juicy meat
thus left ext4sed into small portions, which
are conveyed on the point of the blade to
the mouth -one of the Ceases on record where
a knife enters the mouth by cemnlcn eon -
sent of 'cite t,1 hionable teeth'. The small
(quantity c:f juice that 'tows down falls en

" Merely as dancing, probably many of
the spectators had witnessed more wonder;
fpl . performances. It was the dramatic
force, the 'vivid intensity of every move-
ment that distinguishes it 'from any ordinary
terpsichorean feat. Without being under-
stood as pantomimic, the little dance told
its story as no , dance of the kind has ever
done before. When she .: sprang forward
with that defiant audacity, bent, swayed,
flung her body, back till it seemed as
though her head would •touch the floor, her
eyes appeared'to flash fire, her hands and
wrists-ifi their delicate and flexible intona-
tions played through , the, whole gamut of
passionate emotion ; they spoke with an
eloquence' that was not to be resisted. It
was no longer a woman dancing-it'was a
creature possessed by Some . demoniac
fluence, struggling, supplicating, conquered,'
swePt'likc a leaf before the wind in a series
of gyrations so rapid and astonishing that.
when she sank to the earth the spectators
,gasped with almost a sense of relief, -amid
the storm of eljelause that arose. •
" She smiled' for the first, time : then the.
light, faded from her eyes, and she swaggered
batik to her seat, the sane a'w'kward,
lumpish -looking peasant she had been ere
the flame had been ignited..
"''Well,,what do you say?' asked Fer-
rara, from behind Grace's shoulder.'

Height of Breaking Waves.
There have been many discussions as to
the heights attained by breaking waves, and
an'•••4nteresting light is thrown upon the
matter by the terrible experience to which
the keepers on Tillamook lighthouse were
subject(id during a storm which occurred
last December, as described in a recent
number of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The waves broke over the lighthouse and
shook it to its foundations, so much 80 that
the•men in charge would far rather have
been on shipboard. Streams of water
poured through the ventilators at the top of
the structure, which are 157' feet above sea -
level. •Lai ding platform, boats and gear
were all torn away and destroy i d. Profes-
sor Haden asserts that it is known to him
personally that this lighthouse is sometimes
buried in water and spray, and that the
glass in the lenterh hits been fr('lucntly
broken by impart of the waves.

In 1841! a Russian named L'okareff con-
ceived the idea of extracting oil from the
sunflower. His neighbors told him it was a
visionary: idea and that he would 'have his
labor for his' pains. He persevered, how-
evee, and from that humble beginning the
industry has expanded to enormous pro-
portions. To -day more than 700,000 acres'
of land in Russia are 'devoted to the culti•
vation of the sunflower. The area devoted
to the crop has nearly doubled in five years.
Two kinds of sunflowers are grown, one
with small seeds, which are crushed for oil,
and the other with large seeds, that are con-
sumed by the common people in enorrnou,,
quantities, very nnu'h as people eat peanuts
n the United States.
