Since that time Mr.. Northrop has steadily

such case. Mr.. Northrop was enthusiastic
at the result in his own care o: DR.. Williams

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,

published in the Hamilton, Ont, Times.
The case was called "The Hamilton Miracle"
and told the story Of a man in thec city who,
after almost incredible suffering, was pro-
nounced by the most eminent physicians to
be 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

utterly helpless, and was barely able to drag
himself around his house with the aid OF

he had been paid the disability

was miraculous; almost from the outset an

Marshall was so well known In Hamilton
that all the city newspapers wrote up his
wonderful recovery in detail and 1t was
thus. as before stated, that Mr.. Northrop
came into possession of the information 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

outset found an improvement De faithfully

declares that there can be no doubt as to

Mr.. Northrop was asked what was claimed

pills were successfully used IN private

declares that he is living ex-
