further explanation. 1t is of sufficient i'm.
portance to the News readers to report IL to
them fully. 1t was 50 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 to be dying last
spring OF locomotor ataxia, or creeping
paralysis has secured new lease OF life and
returned TO work at his store. The disease
has always been supposed to be incurable,
but Mr. Northrops condition is greatly i'm
proved, and it looks now as il the grave
weuh Be cheated Of its prey"
Since thst time Mr.. Northrop has steadily
improved, not only in looks but in condition
till be has regalned his old-time strength.
1t had been limited to the writer OF this
article. who was acquainted with Mr..
Northrop. that this miraculous change bal
been wrought by very simple remedy
called DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
rle. When asked about 1t Mr.. Northrop
fully verified the statement, ami not
only So, but he had taken pains 10
inform any one who was sutferin-
in similar manner when he heari of any
such case Mr.. Northrop was enthusiastic
at the result in his own case OF DIR. Williams
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
they could to alleviate this terribls malady,
but without any avail. He had given up
hope, when friend in Lockport, N. Y,
wrote him of the case OF a person there who
lad been eured in similar circumstances by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
The person curel at Lockport had
obtained his information respecting
Dr.. Wiliams' Pink Pills from an article
published in the Hamilton, Ont. Times.
Ibe case was called THE Hamilton Miracle
and told the story Of man in that city who,
after almost incredible suffering, was pro-
bounced l(y the most eminent physicians to
he incurable 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 for him, and
that cure was impossible. The person al
luded to (Mr. John Marshall, of 25 Little
William St, Hamilton, Ont,l was msm-
her of the Royal Templars of Temperance,
and after having been pronounced perma-
nently disabled and Incurable by the physi-
clans, was paid the $1,000 disability insurance
provided by the order for its members in
such cases For years Mr.. Marshall had been
utterly helpless and was barely able to drag
himself around his house with tho aid of
crutches. His agonies were almost unbear-
able and lie was burden to him, when at
last relief came. Some months after
he hal been paid the disability
claim be 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 few
months the man whom medical expsrts had
said was incurable, was going about the
city healthier and stronger than before. Mr..
Marshall was so well known in Hamilton
that all the city newspapers wrote up his
wonderful recovery in detail, and it was
thus, as before stated, that Mr.. Nortbrop
came into possession OF the infor nation that
led to his equally marvellous recovery. One
could scarcely conceive a 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 fight Of stairs
which " ero at the rear OF his store. His
head and spine were severely injured. He
was picked up and taken 10 bis home Creep
ing paralysis very soon developed itself, and
in spite Of the most strenuous efforts
of friends and physicians the ter
ribe affiiction fastened itself upon him.
For nearly two years he was perfectly
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 wesk, pale and fast sinking wnen
his timely information cane that veritably
snatched his life from the jaws OF deatn.
Those who at that time saw feeble old man
wheeled into his store on All invalids chair
would not recogn - the man now, SO great
is the change that Dr. Williams Pink Pills
have wrought When MIR. Northrop learned
Of the remedy that had cured Mr.. Marshall
in Hamilton, and the person in Lockport. he
procured a supply OF DR.. Williams Pink
Pills through Nessrs. Bassett 81 RHomme-
dieu, W Woodward avenue, and from the
outset found an Improvement. He faithfully
adhered to e use OF the remedy until now
he is completely restored. Mr.. Northrop
declares that there can be no doubt as to
pftatr fha, a,,Fi
to health, as all other remedies and medical
treatment left him in u condition rapidly go
ing from bad to worse, until at last it was
declared there was 10 hope for him and h5
was promo Jncet incurable. He was i'll this
terrible condition when lie began to use D..
Williams Pink Pills, and thew have restored
him 10 heath.
Mr.. Northrop was asked what was Anne
