has just come TO light here, the particulars
of which are published in the Evening
News, which will be read with considerable
interest by all Canadians, as it records the
remarkable achievement of a Canadian
medical discovery, which has already. in its
own country, won great and enduring
fame. At this added triumph there is no
doubt the fellow countrymen of the pro-
rrietors viii rejoice, as 1t sheds lustre on
Canadian science. The story is told By the
News rs follows:
The following paragraph, which appeared
in the News a short time ago, furnished the
basis o; this information i case that was
- wonderfully remarkable that 1t demand
ell further explanation. 1t Is of sufficient
Importance to the News readers to report
it 10 them fully. 1t was so important then
that it attracted considerable attention at
the time. The following is the paragraph
question:
&C. Is. Norihrop, for IS years one Of the
best known merchants on Woodward av-
enue, who was supposed to be dying last
spring of lOcnmOtor ataXia, or creeping par
alysi>, las secured a new lease of lie and
returned To work at his store. The disease
has always been supposed 10 be incurabie,
but Mr.. NortlIrop'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 Condi-
ton, till he has regained his old. time
strength.
Ii has been limited to the writer Of this
article, who was acquainted with Mr..
Northrop, that this miraculous change had
been wrought by a very simple remedy
| rallAl n. IL iliap,Sf Df,R pile for p,la
People. When asked about it Mr.. Northrop
fully verified the state cnt, and not only
SO, but he had taken pains toinform anyone
who was suffering in a similar manner
when he heard Of any such ease. Mr.. Nor
throp was 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 every thing he could hope to give
him relief. He had been in the care OF the
best PLY siciaTs who did all they could to al
leviaie this terrible malady, but without
any avail. He had given up hope, when a
friend In LockpOrt, n. Y, wrote him of the
case OF Il person there who had been cured
in similar circumstances by DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. The person
cured j. al Lockpprt had obtained his inror-
nation respecting DR.. Williams PINK Pills
from an article published in the Hamilton,
Ont, Tn :. The case WAS called .'The
Hamilton Miracle" and told the story Of n
man in that city who, after almost incred-
iblc suffering, was pronounced by the most
eminent physicians to he incurablc and per-
maucntly disabled. lie had spent hundreds
of dollars in all sorts Of treatment and ap-
pliauccs only to he told In the end that
there was no hope for him, and that cure
was impossible. The person alluded to
Mr.. John Marshall, of - Little William
st. Hamilton. Ont WAS u member Of the
Royal Tcmplars Of Temperance, and after
having been pronounced permanently dis
ab.cd and mcHrablc by the physicians, was
paid the 81 900 disability insurance provided
by tIe order for its members in such cases.
For ears Mr., Marshall had been utterly
helpless. and WAS barely able to drag him
self around his house with the aid of rrutch-
cs. His aguni"s were almost unbearable
and life WAS a burden 70 him. when at las.
relief came. Some months after he had
been paid the disability claim lie heard OF
DIR. Williams HInk Pills and WAS induced TO
try them. The result was miraculous; al
most frcm the outset an Improvement was
noticed, and in a 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
so well known In Hamilton that all the city
newspapers wrote up his wonderful recov-
cry in 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 Il
case more hopeless than that of Mr.. Nor
thrOp. His injury came about in this way:
One day nearly four years ago. he SUM
hled and fell the complete length of a steep
fight of stairs which were at the rear of
his store. Ills head and spine were severe
~ INJURED. He was picked up and taken to
his home Creeping paralysis very soon de-
vclOpcd itself, and in spite of the most
strenuous efforts OF friends and physicians
the terrible afiliction fastened itself upon
him. For nearly two years he was perfect
~ helpless. He could do nothing TO sup
port his strength in the least effort. He
had To he wheeled about in an invalid's
chair. He was weak, pale and fast sinking
when his timely information came that YER
itably snaicIcd his life from the jaws of
death. Those. who at that time saw 4 fee
BILE old man wheeled into his store on an in
Wallis chair, would Sot recognize the man
now, So great is the change that DIR. Will
liLns' Fink Pills have wrought. When Mr..
-h'A hiAA'lf Ne AAAa VA AA' = ~ tiAsAh bAAaA
cured MIR. Marshall in Hamilton, and the
PERSON in LorEpnrt. he procured a supply
of DIR. Williams Fink Pills through Messrs.
Bassett n L'Hommedieu, 95 Woodward
avenue, and from the outset found an i'm
proyement. He faithfully adhered TO the
use of the remedy until now he is COM
plctely restored. Mr.. Northrop declares
that there can be no doubt as TO Pink Pills
being tho cause Of his restoration to health,
as all other remedies and medical treatment
left him in a condition rapidly going from
bad to worse, until at last il was declared
there was no hope for him and he was pro-
ncEnccd ;ncUrable He WAS in this terrible
condition when he began To use Dr.. Will
liams' PM Pills, and they have restored
him to health.
Mr.. Northrop was asked what was claimed
for this wonderful remedy, and replied
that he understood tho proprictors claim 1t
10 he 4 blood builder and nerve restOrcr;
supplying in a condensed form all the ele-
mcnts necessary TO enrich the blood, restore
shattered nerves and drive out disease. 1t
is GAINED by the proprietors that Pink Pills
will curc paralysis, rheumatism. s~ciatica,
palpitatiOn of the heart, headache, and all
diseases peculiar to females, loss Of appe-
tite. dizziness, slccPlessness, 'oss of memory,
and all diseases arising from overwork, |
mental worry, loss OF vital force, etc.
Il want to say said Mr.. Northrop, "that
] don't have much faith in patent medicines,
but ! cannot say too much in praise of DR..
Williams Pin Pills. The prOprietors,
however. claim hat they are not a patent
medicine In the sense in which that term 10 |
used, but 4 highly scientific preparation,
the result of years Of careful study and ex-
pertinent on the part of the proprietors,
and the pills were successfully used in pri- |
waite practice FOR years before being placed
for general sale. Mr.. NorthrOp declares
that he Is n living example that there is
nothing 10 equal these pills as n cure for
nerve diseases, On inquiry Tho writer found |
that these pills were manufactured by DR..
Williams Medicine Co. Schenectady, n. Y, |
and Rockville, Ont. and the pills are
sold in boxes never in ulk by the hum
dred), at ~ cents q box, and may be had Of
all druggists or direct by mail from DR..
Williams Medicine Co, from either above
addresses. The price at which these pills |
are sold makes 4 course OF treatment with
them comparatively inexpensive as com-
pared with other remedies, or medical
Treatment. This case is one Of the most
remarkable on record. and rs ii is one right
here in Detroit and not a thousand miles
away. II can be easily verified. Mr.. Nor
throp is very well known to the people Of
Detroit, and he says he is only too glad to
testify OF the marvellous good wrought In
his case. He SAYS he cons ders It his duty
to help all who are similarly afflicted By any
