DETROIT, Mich Jan. Goth, fs92.-A case
has just come TO light here, the particulars
Of which are published fn the Evening
News, which will be read with con siderable
Interest by all Canadians, as 1t records the
remarkable achievement OF a Canadian
medical discovery, which has already, in is
own country, won great and enduring
fame At this added triumph there is no
doubt the fellow cOuntrymen of the pro-
prietors will rejoice, as IL sheds lustre on
Canadian science. The story is told by the
News as follows:
The following paragraph, which appeared
In the News short time ago, furnished the
basis OF this information--a case that was
30 wonderfully remarkable that IL demand-
ed further explanation. IL il of sufii Client
Importance 10 the News readers 20 report
il TO them fully II Sas so important then
that II attracted considerable attention at
The time. The following is the paragraph in
question:
&C. b. Northrop, for % years one OF tho
best known merchants on Woodward av-
,nue, who was supposed to be dying last
spring Of locomotor staxia, or creeping par
llysls, has secured n new lease Of life and
returned 10 work at.his store The disease
las always been supposed to be incurable,
out Mr.. Northrops condition is greatly inn
proved, and IL looks now as II the grave
would be cheated of IT'S prey"
Since that time Mr. Northrop has steadily
improved, not only in looks, but in condi-
lion, till he has reguined his old-tme
strength.
IL has been limited TO the writer OF THU.
article, who was acquainted with Mr..
SOrthrop, that this miraculous change had
been wrought by very simple remedy
.alled DIR Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People When asked about il Mr. Northrop
fully verified the statement, and not only
80, but he had taken pains TO inform anyone
who was suffering IA similar manner
when he heard OF any such case. Mr. Nor
.hrop was enthusiastic at the result in his
own case OF Dr. Williams Pink Pills. IL
was a remedy that he had heard Of after he
mad tried everything he could hope to give
aim relief He had been IN the care OF the
best physicians who did all they could TO al
eviate this terrible mRlady, but without
any avail He had given up hope, when n
frtena in Lockport. ~ Y. wrote him OF tho
ease OF person there who had been cured
in similar circumstances by DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, The person
cured al Lookport had obtained his infor-
nation respecting Dr. Williams Pink Pills
from an article published la the Hamilton,
Ont, Times. The case was called ''rhe
Hamilton Mirar - and told the story OF a
man ia that cit who, after almost incred-
ible suffering, as pronounced by the most
sminent physit rms 70 be incurable and per.
manently disabled. tie had spent hundreds
Of dollars la all sorts Oh treatment aud ap.
pliances only 10 be told I'm the end that
there was no hope for him, and that cure
was impossiblo. The person alluded 70
(Mr. John Marshall, OF p Little William
st. Hamilton, Ont was a member OF the
Royal Templars OF Temperance. and after
having been pronounced permanently dis
.bled and incurable by the physicians. was
paid the 81 600 disability insurance provided
oy the order for its members In such cases.
For years Mr.. Marshall had been utterly
helpless, and was barely able 10 drag him
self around his house with the aid of crutch-
So HIS agonies were almost unbearable
and life was burden 10 him, when at asst
relief came Some months after he had
been paid the disability claim he heard Of
DR.. williams Pink Pills and was induced 10
Try them. The result was miraculous; al
most from the outset an improvement was
aotioed, and in few months tho man
whom medical experts had said was incur
able, was going about the city healthier and
stronger than before. Mr. Marshall was
90 well known In Hamilton that all the city
newspapers wrote up his wonderful recoy-
cry in detail, and il was thus as before
stated, that Mr. Northrop came into
possession OF tho information that
led 10 his equally marvellous recov-
cry. One could scarcely conceive q
case more hopeless than that Of Mr.. Nor
ia.
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
Iy injured. He was picked up and taken &c
his home Creeping paralysis very soon de
yeloped itself, and In spite Of the most
strenuous efforts OF friends and physicians
the terrible affiiciion fastened itself upon
him. For nearly two years he was perfect
ly helpless. Re could do nothing TO sup
port his strength In the least effort. He
had TO be wheeled about in an invalids
chair. He was weak, pale and fast stnktn z
when his timely information came that ver-
itably snatched his life from the Jaws of
death. Those, who at that time saw a fee
Ole old man wheeled into his store on an in
valid's chair, would not recognize the man
now, so great is the 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 supply
Of DR. Williams Pink Pills through Messrs.
Bassett e. 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,
40 all other remedies and medical treatment
left him in condition rapidly going from
bad to worse, until at last ii 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, and 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 it
to be q blood builder and nerve restorer;
supplying In condensed form all the ele-
menS necessary to enrich the blood, restore
shattered nerves and drive out disease. 1t
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 appe-
tite, dizziness, sleeplessness, Ioss of memory,
and all diseases arising from overwork,
mental worry, loss of vital force, etc.
81 want to say" said MIR. Noithrop, ''that
don't have much faith in patent medicines,
but | cannot say too much in praise of DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. The proprietors,
however, claim that they are not a pate Mt
medicine In the sense in which that term Is
Used, but highly scientific preparation,

pertinent on the part of the proprietors,
and the pills were successfully used in pri-
vate practice for years before being placed
for general sale. Mr.. Northrop declares
that he is living example that there is
nothing TO equal these pills as a cure for
nerve diseases. On inquiry the writer found
that these pills were manufactured by DR..
Williams Medicine Co, Schenectady, N. Y,
and Brockville, Ont, and the pills are
sold in boxes never In bulk by the hun
dred), at 50 cents a box, and mny 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 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 as II 10 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 considers 1t his duty
TO help all who are similarly afflicted by any
word he can say in behalf OF the wonder
full efficacy of DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
