A GREAT TRIUMPH FOR CANADIAN
MEDICAL SCIENCE.
ABLE CURES ON RECORD DEsCRIB ID BY
THE DETROIT NEws-A STORY WORTH

| in the News a short time ago, furnished the

| further explanation. It is of sufficient i'm
| portance to the News readers to report it TO
| them fully. 1t was so important then that
! it attracted considerable attention at the
time. The following is the paragraph in
| question:
| &C. B. Northrop, for Is years, one Of the
| best known merchants on Woodward ave
| nue., who was supposed 10 be dying last
| spring OF locomotor ataNla, or creeping
| paralysis, has secured a new lease of life and
| returned to work at his store The disease
has always been supposed TO be incura6le'
but Mr.. Northrop's condition is greatly i'm
| proved, and it looks if the grave
would be cheated of its prey"
Since that time Mr.. Northrop has steadily
improved, not only in looks, but in condition.
till he has regained his oil i-time strength.
It had been limited to the writer OF this
article. who was acquainted with Mr..
Northrop, that this miraculous change hal
been wrought by very simple remedy
called DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo
pie When asked about it Mr.. Northrop
fully verified the statement AMI not
only so, but he had taken pains to
inform any one who was suffering
in similar manner when he heard Of any
such case Mr.. Northrop was enthusiastic
at the result in his own case OF DR.. w lIllams'
Pink Pills. 1t was a remedy that he had
heard of after he had tried everything he
could hope to give him relief. He had been
in the care of the best physicians who did all
they could to alleviate this terrible malady,
but without any avail. He had given up
hope when a friend in Lockport, n. Y,
wrote him Of the case OF person there who
had been cured in similar circumStanc S by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
The person cured at Lockport had
obtained his information respecting
DR.. Williams' Pink Pills from an article
published in the Hamilton, Ont, Times.
The case was called The Hamilton Miracle
and told the story of man IN that city who,
after almost Incredible suffering, pro-
nounced by the most eminent physicians to
be incurabe and permanently disabled. He
had spent hundreds of dollars in all sorts Of
treatment and appliances only to be told in
the end that there was no hope tor him, and
that cure was impossible. The person al
luded to (Mr. John Marshall of 25 Little
William ST., Hamilton, Ont.,) was mem
Der of the Royal Templars of Temperance,
and after having been pronounced perma-
nently disabled and ncurable by the physi-
clans, was paid the $1,000 disa bility insurance
provided by the order for it's members in
such cases. For years Mr. Marshall had been
utterly helpless, and was barely able to drag
himself around his house with the aid of
crutches His agonies were almost unbear-
able and life was burden to him, when at
last relief came. Some months after
he had been paid the disability
claim he heard of Dr. Williams Pink Pills
and was induced to try them. The result
was miraculous; almost from the outset an
Improvement was noticed, and in a few
months the man whom medical experts had
said was incurable was going about the
city healthier and stronger than before. Mr.
Marshall was 80 we'll known in Hamilton
that all the city newspapers wrote up his
wonderful recovery in detail, and it was
thus, as before stated, that Mr.. Northrop
came into possession of the infOr nation that
led to his equally marvellous recovery. One
could scarcely conceive case more hopeless
than that of Mr.. Northrop. His injury
came about in this way: One day, nearly
four years ago, he stumbled and fell the
complete length Of a steep flight of stairs
which were at the rear of his store. His
head and spine were severely injured. He
was picked up and taken to his home. Creep
ing paralysis very soon developed itself, and
in spite of the most strenuous efforts
of friends and physicians the ter
rible affiiction fastened itself upon him.
helpless. He could do nothing to sup
port his strength in the least effort. He had
to be wheeled about in an invalid's chair.
He was weak, pale and fast sinking when
his timely information came that veritably |
snatched his life from the jaws Of death. |
Those who at that time a feeble old man |
wheeled into his store on an invalld's chair |
would not recognize the man now, SO great |
is the change that DR.. Williams Pink Pills |
have wrought. When Mr.. Northrop learned
in Hamilton, and the person in Lockport, he |
procured a supply OF DR.. Williams Pink |
Pills through Messrs. Bassett & DHomme- |
dieu, 95 W Woodward avenue, and from the |
outset found an Improvement. He faithfully |
adhered to the Of the remedy until
he is completely restored. Mr.. NOrthrOp |
declares that there can be no doubt as to |
Pink Pills being the cause of his restoration |
to health, all other remedies and medical |
treatment left him in a condition rapidly 60
ing from bad to worse, until at last it was |
declared there was no hope for him and he |
was pronounced incurable. He was in this |
terrible condition when he began to use DR.. |
Williams Pink Pills, and they have restored |
him to hea tn.
for this wonderful remedy, and replied that |
he understood that the proprietors claim 1t
to be a blood builder and nerve restOrer; |
supplying in a condensed form all the ele- |
ments neces sary to enrich the blood, restore |
shattered nerves and drive out disease 1t |
is claimed by the proprietors that Pink Pills
will cure paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica,
palpitation of the heart, headache, and all
diseases peculiar to females, loss of appetite,
dizziness, sleeplessnesS, loss of memory, and |
all diseases arising from OverWOrk, mental |
worry, loss of vital force etc.
II want to say" said Mr.. NorthrOp, that |
don't have much faith in patent medicines, |
but | cannot say too much in favor of DR.. |
Williams Pink Pills The proprietors, how |
ever, claim that they are not patent med |
icine in the sense in which that term Is used, |
but highly scientific preparation, the re-
suit of years of careful study and expert |
ment on the part of the proprietors and the |
pills were successfully used in private |
practice for years before being placed |
for general sale. Mr.. Northrop |
declares that he is living ex- |
