PARTICULARS OF ONE OF THE MOST REMARK
ABLE CURES ON RECORD DESCRIBED BY
THE DETROIT NEws-A STORY WORTH
A CAREFUL PERUsAL.
HDetroit News.)
The following paragraph, which appeared
in the News short time ago, furnished the
basis of this information-a case that was
so wonderfully remarkable that it demande1
further explanation. 1t 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 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 a new lease of life and
returned to work at his store. The disease
has always been supposed to be incurable,
but Mr.. Northrop's condition is greatly i'm
proved, and it looks now as il the grave
would be cheated of its prey"
Since that time Mr.. Northrop has steadily
improved, not only in looks, but in condition.
till be has regained his ol1-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 Peo-
ple When asked about it Mr. Northrop
fully verified the statement, and 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
al the result in his own case of DR.. 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
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. T.,
wrote him of the case of person there who
had been cured in similar circumstanc IS by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
The person cured at Lockport had
obtained his information respecting
published in the Hamilton, Ont. Times.
The case was called 1.-THE Hamilton Miracle,
and told the story of a man in that city who,
after almost incredible suffering, was pro-
nounced ty 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
luded to (Mr. John Marshall, of 25 Little
William ST., Hamilton. Ont.,) was mem,
ber of the Royal Templars of temperance,
and after having been pronounced perma-
nently disabled and lncurable by the physi-
clans. was paid the $1,000 disa bility 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 the aid OF
crutches. HIS agonies were almost unbear-
able and life was burden to him, when at
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 few
months the man whom medical experts 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.. 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 affliction 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 lnvalld'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 saw feeble old man
wheeled into his store on an 1nval1d's chair
would not recognize 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 DR.. Williams Pink
Pills through Messrs. Bassett & DHomme-
dieu 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 restoration
to health, as all other remedies and medical
treatment left him in condition rapidly go
ing from bad to worse, until at last 1T was
declared there was no hope for him and he
was pronounced incurable. be was In this
terrible condition when he began to use DR..
Williams Pink Pills, and they nave restored
him to health.
Mr.. Northrop was asked what was claimed
for this wonderful remedy, and replied that
he understood that the proprietorS claim 1t
to be blood builder and nerve restorer;
supplying in a condensed form all the ele-
ments necessary to enrich the blood, restore
shattered nerves and drive out disease. It
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.
