From the New York Tribune.
For some time there has been an in-
creasing number of atories published in
the newspapers of New York City,
telling of marvellous cures of varioae
diseases. So remarkable are many of
the stories in their nature, that much
doubt has been aroused in the minds
of the messes as to their authenticity.
If they are true in detail, surely the
occupation of the physician is gone,
and there is no reason why anyone
should die of anything but old age.
It they are not true, it would be inter
estiug to know how euch testimonials
and statments aro obtained. The first
question that arises is, Are there any
such persona 1 1f eo, were they really
cured as stated, or are they liberally
paid for the use of their names The
latter explanation is the ono that no
doubt suggests itself to the average
thinking newspaper reader, and not
without reason.
It has long been the intention of the
Tribune to investigate one of the most
interesting cases that could be found
and give the truth to the world as n
matter of news. An especially good
opportunity for investigation offered
iteelf in the shape of the following
letter, which came into the hands of n
reporter from a most reliable source :
Febuary 22d, 1893
Gentlemen: -'•I feel it my duty to
inform you what Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People have done for me.
I have been cursed with locomotor
ataxia for fifteen years, and have been
unable to walk without assistance for
nearly five years. I was turned away
from the Manhattan Hospital, Forty-
first street end Park avenue by Dr.
Sequin, as incurable, and told I was in
the last stages of the disease. I have
been using the pills with water treat-
ment since September last, and been
improving since about November 1st.
I can now go up and down stairs with
the assistance of my wife, -which is
something I have not been able to do
for the past three years. My pains
have decreased so I may now say they
are bearable, and I expect by fall to be
able to attend to business."
Yours,
GEO. L'HOMMEDIEU,
Sec'y Marchal & Smith Piano Co.
Residence, 271 W. 134th St., New
York City.
When the reporter called on Mr.
George L'Hommedieu, at the residence
of his cousin, Mr. Edward Houghtal-
ing, 271 W. 134th street, he found him
resting on his bed ; he had just finish-
ed some writiug for the Marshal &
Smith Piano Company, with whom he
has been connected as secetary for ten
years. He met the reporter with a
hearty greeting and a grip of the hand
that certainly did not chow any signs
of weakness or loss of power. To look
at him no one would suppose' that he
had been afflicted for fifteen years with
one of the most terrible diseases known
to medical science and pronounced in-
curable by some of the beet known
physicians of New York City. He
expressed bis perfect willingness to
give a statment of his case for publica-
tion.
"In fact," said Mr. L'Hommodieu, "I
feel it my duty to give my experience
to the world for the benefit of my fel-
lowmen and all those who may be suf-
fering with the same affliction, many
of whom, no doubt, have long ago
abandoned all hopes of ever being re-
lieved.
"I am 51 years of ago and was born
in IIudson, N. Y. I served my time
in the army, being corporal of
Company A, 21st N. J. Volunteers,
and I believe the exposure of
army life was the seed from which -has
sprung all my eufferinge. It has been
about fifteen years since I coticod the
first symptoms of my disease. The
trouble began with pains in my stom-
ach for which I could find no relief.
I consulted Dr. Allen, of Yorkville,
anti also Dr. Pratt since deceased, and
with remarkable unanimity they pro•
nouneed it eomkere' dyeyepsia. This
seemed probable, for at that time I was
a great smoker. The paine, however,
gradually became more severe and
began to extend to my limbs. The
attacks Came on et intervals of about a
month, and while the paroxysms last•

Mr. Stirling McPhail has planted 5

church would come out on Tuesday
evenings and help Mr. McDougall.
Surely it is their duty to do so.

continued treatment there for six or
eight months, under Dr. Seguin, who
treated me chiefly, with injections."
Here Mr. L'Hommedieu pulled up
hie trouser leg and showed the reporter
the soars of •innunio gable punctures;
continuing, he said:
"I must confess I felt relief for the
time being and gained some hope; ur-
gent business matters, however, coin -
polled me to give up the'hospital treat-
ment, and it was but a short time until
I was as bad as ever. From this on I
grew rapidly woree. The pains were
more intense, my lege were numb, and
I felt I was growing weaker every day.
I returned to the hospital, and this
time was undertreatment by Dr. Seguin.
He tiealed me for about three months,
and then, for the first time, I was
told that I had locomotor ataxia
and was beyond the aid of
medical science. Dr. Seguin also
told my wife that there was no
hope for me in the world and to expect
my death at any time. I was now a
complete• physicial wreck; all power,
feeling and oolor had left my lege, and
it was impossible for Bre to feel the
most severe pinch, or even the thrust
of a needle.
"If my skin was scratched there
would be no flow of blood whatever,
and it would take it fully six weeks to
heal up. In the night I would have
to feel around to find m.ylegs. My
pains were excruciating and at times
almost unbearable. I would take large
doses of rnorphine to deaden the pains
and be nearly dead the next day from
its effects. About five years ago I
learned of Dr. Cicot, of Paris, claimed
to have discovered a relief for locomo-
tor ataxia in suspending the body by
the neck; the object being to stretch the
spine. I wrote to Dr. Lewis A.
Sayre, of 285 5th Ave., about the
matter, and at his request called to see
him.
"I have known Mr. George L'Horn-
medieq for twenty years and always
found him a most estimable gentleman,
a businees map of great energy. He
became connected with our firm as
secretary in 1879, and attended strictly
to his office duties until 1881, when
he was stricken down with his trouble.
I distinctly recall the day when he was
taken with his first spasm, and we had
to send him to his home in a carriage.
Even when he lost coutrol of his lege,
so great was his i nteteatin bnsineee affairs
that he would drive to the office and
direct the work Ito had in charge. As
the dieease advanced he was obliged to
eucoumb and reluctantly gave up his
office work. From that time on his
sufferings were almost incredible, and
yet, so great was his fortitude that he
bore them withouta mut mur. I know
that he tried various physicians and
their treatments without the least suc-
cess, and he states that he was finally
discharged from the Manhattan Hos-
pital, and told that he was in the last
stages of locomotor ataxia and was be-
yond the hope of human aid. About
six months ago, or so, he was advised
by Mr. James to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, with the
cold water treatment. He commenced
to take Pink Pills about September
last, though not regularly, for like my-
self, ho, had very little faith in pro-
prietary medicines, and was very
sceptical about their motile. So great
was his improvetnent that he was entire -
1•y converted- and commenced to take
the pills as directed. The last time
I saw Mr. L'lIommedieu he had gained
the use of his limbs to such an extent
that he could walk up etairs with
the help of his wife, and is now doing
much important work for us at hie
home."
He was so interested in my case that
he made a machine, or rather a har-
ness for me, free of charge. It was
fitted with pada and straps to fit under
the chin and at the back of the neck,
and in this position, Itvould be sus-
pended from the floor twice a day.
Although I received no benefit from
this treatment,I shall always feel grate-
ful to Dr. Sayre for his great interest
and kindness.
"So severe had my case become by
this time that I could not walk without
assistance, and was almost ready to give
up Life. I had a great number of
friends who were interested in my case
and whenever I read anything pertain-
ing to locomotor ataxia, they would
forward it to me with the hope that .it
would open the way to relief.
"It was in this way that I tiretlearn•
ed of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People, Mr.• A. C. James of the
well-known piano 'firm of James &
Holsterm, 335 E. 21st St., with whom
I had business connections, read in the
Albany Journal of a case of locomotor
ataxia that had been cured by Pink
Pills. Mr. James showed me the state-
ment and urged me to give the pills a
trial. I confess I did not have the
least faith in their efficacy, but finally
consented to try them. I sent to the
Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. for my
first supply in September last. I took
them rather irregularly at first with the
cold water treatment. In a very nhort
time I was convinced that I was getting
better and I began to use the pills in
earnest, taking about one box every
five days.

When asked to make affidavit to
the story he smiled, but expressed his
perfect willingness to do so, if it would
induce any poor sufferee to follow the
same road that lead Mr. L'Homme-
dieu to relief. After securing the
affidavit of Mr. Smith, the reporter
called on Mr. A. C. James, who has
offices and - warerooms in the same
building. Mr. James has known Mr.
L'Homrnedieu for a number of years,
and was able to verify all the above
facts.
"The last time I saw Mr. L'Homme-
dieu, which was two months ago," said
Mr. Jaynes, "he was able to walk with
his wife's assistance. This I consider
remarkable, for I remember when he
had to be carried from one chair to.
another. I was one of those who help-
ed to suspend him with the arrange-
ment made by Dr. Sayre and I never
knew anyone to suffer more than he
did at that time. I understand that
Mr. L"Hommedieu has taken nothing.
but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills since
last September, he has improved rapid-
ly since he commenced their (fee, and
I believe his condition is due to their
good qualities."
Still on investigation bent, the re-
porter interviewed one of the leading
wholesale drug dealers of New York
City, and elicited the following facts
about Dr!. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People. They are manufactured
by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,
of Brockville, Ont., and Schenectady,
N. Y., a firm of unquestioned relia-
bility. Pink Pills are not looked up-
on as a patent medicine, but rather as
a prescription. An analysis of their
properties show that they contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements •
necessary to give new life and rich-
ness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are an unfailing specific
for such diseases as locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, St. Vitus dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rhumatism. nervous
headache, the after effects of la grippe,
palpitation of the heart, pale and
sallow complexions•, and the tirod feel-
ing resulting from nervous prostration;
all diseases depending upon vital
humors in the blood, such as scrofula,
e sonic erysipelas, etc. They arealso e
specific for the troubles peculiar to
females, such as supressions, irregular-
ities, and all forme of weakness. They
build up the blood and restore the
glow of health to pale and sallow
cheeks. In cases of men they effect a
radical cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, over work or excesses of
whatever nature.
Pink Pills ere sold in boxes (never
in loose form, by the dozen or hun-
dred, and the public is cautioned
against numerous imitations Bold in
