manded further explanation. IL is Of suf-
ficient Importance to The News readers
TO report it 10 them fully. 1t was so i'm
portant then that II attracted considerable
attention at the time The following is the
paragraph in question:
&C. b. Northrop. fer 2S 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 in
durable, but MIR. Northrop's condition is
greatly improved, and it looks now as il
the grave would be cheated OF its prey"
Since that time Mr.. Northrop has stead
lily improved, not only in looks but in con-
ditlon, till he has regained his old-time
strength.
1t had been limited 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.. North
rop fully verified the statement, and not
only so, but he had taken pains 10 inform
any one who was suffering in similar
manner when he heard of any such case.
Mr. Northrop vas enthusiastic at the
result in his own case of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. II 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 friend in
Lockport, N. Y, wrote him the case OF a
person there who had been cured in similar
circumstances by DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People The person cured at
Lockport had obta ned his information
respecting Dr. Williams Pink Pills from
an article published in the Hamilton, Ont,
Times. The case was called 1.-THE Ham
ilton Miracle" and told the story of a man
in that city who, after almost incredible
suffering, was pre- nounced by the most
eminent physicians TO be incurable and
permanently disabled. He had spent
hundreds OF dollars in all sorts Of treat
ment and appliances only to be told in the
end that there was no hope for him, and
that cure was impossible. The person
alluded to (Mr. John Marshall of 25 Little
William street. Hamilton, Ont was q
member Of the Royal Templars of Tenn
perance, and after having been pro-
nouuced permanently disabled and in
durable by the physicians, WAS paid the
81, 900 disability insurance provided by the
order for its members in such cases. For
years Mr.. Marshall had been utterly help
less, and was barely able to drag himself
around his house with the aid of crutches
His agonies were almost unbearable and
life was burden TO him, when at last re-
lief came. Some months after he had been
paid the disability claim he heard OF DIR.
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 incur
able, was again going about the city
healthier and stronger than before. MIR.
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.. NorthroI
came into possession of the information
that led TO his equally marvellous recovery,
| Que 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 steep fight Of
stairs which were at the rear of his store
His head and spine were severely injured
He was picked mp and taken to his home
Creeping paralysis very soon developed
itself, and in spite of the most strenuou.
efforts OF friends and physicians the
terrible affection fastened itself upor
him. For nearly two years he was per
fectly helpless. He could do nothing u
support his strength in the least effort
He had to be wheeled about in an invalid.
chair. He wGs weak, pale and fast sink
ing when this timely information came
that vertically snatched his life from the
| Jaws of death. Those who at that time
saw a feeble old man wheeled into his
store on an invalid chair, would not recog-
nize the man now, so great is the change
that Dr. Williams 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 a supply Of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills through Messrs Bassett 81 L'Hom-
medieu, 95 Woodward avenue, and from
the outset found an Improvement. He
faithfully adhered to the use of the remedy
until now he is completely restored. Mr..
Northrop declares that there can be no
doubt as to Pink Pills being the cause of
his wonderful restoration to health. as all
other remedies and medical treatment
left him in a condition rapidly going Il ON
bad to worse until at last it was declared
that there was no hope for him and he was
pronounced incuraDle. He was in this ter
ribe condition when he began to use DIR.

stored him 10 health.
Mr. Northrop was asked what was
claimed for this wonderful remedy, and
replied that he understood the proprietors
claim it TO be blood builder and nerve
restorer; supplying in a condensed form
all the elements necessary to enrich the
blood, restore shattered nerves and drive
out disease. IL is claimed by the propri-
etors 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 dis
eases 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 i cannot say too much in
praise of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. The
proprietors, however, claim that they are
not patent medicine In the sense in which
that term is used, but a highly scientific
preparation, the discovery Of an eminent
graduate OF McGill. Canada, and Edin-
