News us follows:
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 1t demand
ed further explanation. 1t In Of sufficient
Importance 10 the News readers to report
it TO them fully. 1t was so important then
that 1t attracted considerable attention NJ
the time. The following is the photographic
question::
&C. b. Norihrop, for % years one Of tho
best known merchants ON Woodward av
cnue, who was supposed to be dying last
spring of locomotor ataxia, or creeping par
alysis, has secured new lease OF life and
returned TO work ut his store Tho disease
but Mr. Northtop's condition is greatly inn
proved, and it looks now as 1t the grave
would be cheated of It's prey.''
Since that time Mr.. Northrop has steadily
improved, not only in looks, but in condi-
ton, till he has regained his 0ld-time
strength
1t has been hinted 10 the writer Of this
article, who was Acquainted with Mr.
Northrop, that this miraculous cbafee had
been wrought by q very simple remedy
called DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People When asked about it Mr. Northrop
fully verified the statement, and not only
so, but he had taken paifis t0itfotni anyone
who was suffering In q sinii!af manner
when he heard of any such case. Mr.. Nor.
thf6p was enthusiastic ut the result in his
own case OF DR.. williams Pink Pills. II
was remedy that he had heard 81 after he
had tried everything he could hope to give
him relief He had been In the care OF the
best physicians who did ell they could to al
leviate this terrible malady, but without
any avail He had given up hope, when
friend III L5ckpUft. n. Y, wrote him of the
case Of a person thtfe Who had been cured
in similar circumstances by Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. The person
cured at Lockport had obtained his infor-
nation respecting Dr. Williams Pink Pills
from an article published IN the Hamilton,
Ont, TINS. The case was called ''rhe
Hamilton Miracle and told the story OF
man in that city who, after almost incred-
ible suffering, was pronounced by the most
eminent ply sicians 10 be incurable and per-
mauently disabled. He had spent hundreds
of dollars in oil sorts of treatment and tps
pliances only to be told in the end that
there was no hope for him, and that cure
was itdpossible. The person alluded to
| (Mr. John Marshall, Of 25 Little William
| St, Hamilton; Ont was a member OF the
Royal Templafs Of Temperance, and after
having been pronounced Permanently DIS
abled and incurable by the physicians. was
| paid the 81 900 disability insurance provided
| by the order for its members In such cases.
| For years Mr.. Marshall haa been utterly
helpless, and was barely able to drag him
self around his house with the aid of crutch-
es. His agonies were almost unbearable
and life was burden to him, when at last
rSligf came Some months after he had
| been paid the disability claifh he heard Of
| Dr. Williams Pink Pills and wis Induced TO
try them. The result was miraculous; al.
most from the outset an improvement was
Noticed, and In few months the man
| Wtioih medical experts had said was incur
able, was going about the city healthier and
stronger than before. Mr.. Marshall wxs
| DO well known in Hamilton that all the city
| newspapers wrote up his wonderful fScov;
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 a
case more hopeless than that Of Mf. Nor
throp. His injury came about in this way:
| One day nearly four years ago, he STUN
bled and fell the complete length of steep
light of stairs which were at the rear of
his store. His head and spine were severe
| ly injured. He was picked up and taken to
his home. Creeping paralysis very soon de-
veloped itself, and In spite Of the most
strenuous efforts Of friends and physicians
| the terrible affiiction fastened itself upon
| him. For nearly two years he was perfect
| ly helpless. He could do nothing to sup
| port his strength in the least effort He
| had to be wheeled about in an nvalid's
chair. He was weak, pale and fast sinking
when his timely information came that YER
| itably snatched his life from the jaws OF
death. Those, who at that time saw fee
| BILE 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.. Viii
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 o supply
of Dr. Williams Pink Pills through Messrs
Bassett & L'Hommedieu, 95 Woodward
| avenue, and from the outset found an i'm
| provement. He faithfully adhered to thu
| use Of the remedy until now he Is com
pletely restored. Mr.. Northrop declares
| that there can be no doubt as to Pink Pill
being the cause of his restoration to health
as all other remedies and medical treatmen
left him In a condition rapidly going from
bad to worse, until at last 1t was declares
there was no hope for him and he was pro
nounced incurable He was in this terribl
condition when he began to use DR.. VIII
nams' Pink Pills, and they have restores
him to health.
Mr.. Norlhrop was asked what was claime'
for this wonderful remedy, and replies
that he understood the proprietors claim
to be a blood builder and nerve restorer
