News No follows:
The following paragraph, which appeared
In the News n short time ago, furnished the
basis OF this information--a case that WAS
20 wonderfully remarkable that 1t demand
ed further explanation. It In of sufficient
Importance to the News readers to report
it to them fully 1t was so important then
that 1t attracted considerable attention at
the time. The following Is the paragraph in
question:
&C. B. Northrop, for 2S years one Of the
best known merchants on Woodward av-
enue, who was supposed to be dying last
spring of locomotor ataxia, or creeping par
alysis, has secured a new lease of life and
returned to work 1t his store The disease
has always been supposed to be incurable,
but Mr.. Northrop's condition IL greatly inn
proved, and it looks now as II tho grave
would be cheated of Its prey"
Since that time Mr.. Northrop has steadily
improved, not only in looks, but in condi-
tion, till he has reguined his old-timc
strength.
1t has beenhinted to the writer Of this
article, who was acquainted with Mr..
Northrop, that this miraculous change had
been wrought by . very simple remedy
called DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People When asked about it Mr.. Northrop
fully verified the statement and not only
so, but he had taken pains to inform anyone
who was suffering in similar manner
when he hoard Of any such cnse. Mr.. Nor
throp was enthusiastic at the result in his
own case Of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. II
was q remedy that he had heard Of after he
had tried everyt thing he could hope to give
him relief He had been in the care OF the
best physicians who did all they could to al
leviate this terrible malady, but without
any avail. He had given up hope, when .
friend in Lockport, N. r., wrote him of the
case OF person there who had been cured
in similar circumstances by DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People The person
cured at Lockport had obtained his infor-
nation respecting DR.. Williams' Pink Pills
from an article published In the Hamilton,
Ont, Times. The case was called 1.-THE
Hamilton Miracle" and told the story Of
man in that city who, after almost incred-
ible suffering, was pronounced by the most
eminent physicians to be incurable and per.
manently disabled. He had spent hundreds
of dollars in all sorts of treatment and APP
pliances only to bc told In the end that
there was no hope for him, and that cure
was impossible. The person alluded to
(Mr. John Marshall, of Is Little William
St., Hamilton, Ont) was member OF the
Royal Templars Of Temperance, and after
having been pronounced permanently dis
abled and incurable by the physicians. was
paid the 81, 900 disability 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 him.
self around his house with the aid Of crutch-
es. His agonies were almost unbearablo
and life was . burden to him, when ut 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; al
most from the outseJ an Improvement was
noticed, and in few months the man
whom medical experts had said was incur
able, was going about the city healthier and
stronger than before. Mr.. Marshall was
30 well known IN Hamilton that all the city
newspapers wrote up his wonderful recov-
err I'm detail, and it was thus as before
stated, that Mr.. Northrop came into
possession Of the information that
led to his equally marvellous recov-
cry. One could scarcely conceive q
case more hopeless than that of Mr. Nor
throp. His injury came about in this way:
One day nearly four years ago, he STUN
bled and fell the complete length of a steep
flight of stairs which were at the rear of
his store. His head and spine were severe
ly injured. He was picked up and taken to
his home Creeping paralysis very soon de-
veloped itself, and In spite Of the most
strenuous efforts of friends and physicians
the terrible affection fastened itself upon
him. For nearly two years he was perfect
ly 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 YER
itably snatched his life from the jaws OF
death. Those, who at that time saw fee
BILE old man wheeled into his store on an in
valid's chair. would not recognize the man
now, SO great Is tho change that Dr. Will
liams' Pink Pills have wrought. When Mr..
Northrop learned Of the remedy that had
cured Mr.. Marshall In Hamilton, and the
person in Lockport. he procured q supply
OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills through Messrs.
Bassett q LHommedieu, 95 Woodward
avenue, and from the outset found an i'm
provement He faithfully adhered to the
use of the remedy until now he is COM
pletely restored. Mr. Northrop declares
that there can be no doubt as to Pink Pills
being the cause of his restoration to health,
as all other remedies and medical treatment
left him In condition rapidly going from
bad to worse, until at last 1t was declared
there was no hope for him and he was pro-
nounced incurable. He was In this terrible
condition when he began to use DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills, ard they have restored
him to health.
Mr. Northrop was asked what was claimed
for this wonderful remedy, and replied
that he understood the proprietors claim 1t
