DETROIT MIRACLE.
A GREAT TRIUMPH FOR MEDICAL
SCIENCE.
Particulars of One of the Most Remark
able Cures on Record Described
by the Detroit News-A Story -
Worth Careful Perusal.

Detroit, Mich, Sept Is, '92.-A case has
just come to light here, the particulars of
which are published in the Evening News,
will be read with considerable interest as
1t records the remarkable achievement of a
medical discovery, which has already won
great and enduring fame. The story is
told by the News as fOllows:-
The following paragraph, which appeared
i'm the News short time ago, furnished the
basis of this infOrmatiOn-a case that was
so wonderfully remarkable that it demand
ed further explanation. 1t is of sufficient
Importance to the News readers to report it
to them fully. 1t was so important then
that it attracted considerable attention OF
the time. The following is the paragraph in
question:
&C. Il. Northrop, for 2S years one of the
best known merchants on Woodward Ave-,
who was supposed to be dying last spring of
| lOcOmOtOr ataXia, or creeping paralysis, has
secured 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 improved,
and 1t looks now as If 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.
1t has been limited to the writer of this
article, who was acquainted with Mr.. Nor
| thrOp, that this miraculous change had been
| wrought by very simple remedy called Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. 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 at the result in his own case
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills 1t was a rem
| edy that he had heard of after he had tried
| everything he could hope to give him relief.
lie had been in the care of the best physici-
ans who did all they could to alleviate this
| terrible malady, but without any avail. He
had given up hope, when friend i'm Lock-
| port n. Y, wrote him of the case of
person there who had been cured i'm similar
circumstances by DR.. Williams Pink Pills
| for Pale People. The person cured at Lock-
| port had obtained his information respect
ing DR.. Williams Pink Pills from an article
| published in the Hamilton, Ont, Times.
| The case was called 1.-The Hamilton Mira
cle," and told the story of a man in that
city who, after almost incredible suffering,
was pronounced by the most eminent physi-
| ans to be incurable and permanently dsabl-
| ed. 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 alluded to (Mr. John Marshall, of
| 25 Little William St., Hamilton, Ont, was
a member of the Royal Tempars of lem
perance, and after having been pronounced
permanently disabled and ncurable by phys
| leans, was paid the 81, 900 disability insur-
| ance 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
unbearable and life was burden to him,
when at last relief came. Some months
after he had been paid the disability claim
he heard of DR.. Williams Pink Pills and
was induced to try them. The result was
| miraculous; almost from the outset an i'm
prOvement was noticed, and in a few
months the man whom medical experts had
| said was incurable, was going about the
city healthier and stronger than before.
Mr. Marshall was 80 well known in Hamil
ton that all the city newspapers wrote up
his wonderful recovery in detail, and it was
thus as before stated, that Mr.. North
rop came into possession of the informal
ton that led to his equally marvellous re-
covery. 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 steep fliLh of
stairs which was at the rear of his store.
His head and spine were severely injured.
He was picked up and taken to his home.
Creeping prayalysis very soon developed
itself, and in spite of the most strenuous
efforts of his friends and physicians the ter

For nearly two years he was perfectly help

strength in the least effort. lie had to be
wheeled about in ali invalid's chair. He
was weak and pale and fast sinking when
this timely il formation came that veritably
snatched his life from the jaws of death.
Those, who at that time saw a feeble old
man wheeled into his store on an invalid'S
chair would not recognize the man now, so
great is the change that DIR. 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.. Will
liams' Pink Pills through MeSsrs. Bassett IL
LIlommedieu, 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.

as to Pink Pills being the cause of his res
toration to health, as all other remedies and
medical treatment left him in condition
rapidly going from bad to worse, until at
last it was declared there was no hope for
him and he was pronounced incurable. He
was in this terrible condition when he began
to use DIR. Williams Pink Pills, and they
have restored him to health.
Mr.. NorthrOp was asked what was
claimed for this wonderful remedy, and re-
piled that he understood the proprietors
claim it to be blood builder and nerve re-
storer, supplying in condensed form all
the elements necessary to enrich the blood,
restore shattered nerves and drive out dis
ease. 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
appetite, dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of
memory, and all diseases arising from over
work. mental worry, loss of vital force, etc.
