News US follows:
Inc following paragraph, which appeared
IN the News short time ago, furnished the
OASIS OF this tnfOrmatiOn-a case that was
90 wonderfully remarkable that 1t demand
cd further explanation. It ia of sufficient
Importance to the News readers to report
1t 10 them fully. It was so important then
that 1t attracted considerable attention at
the time. The following is the paragraph in
question:: ~ uu
"C. B. Northrop, for % years one of the
best known merchants ON Woodward av-
enue, who was supposed to be dying last
spring OF locomotor ataxia, or creeping par
alysis, has secured a new lease of life and
returned to work al. his store. The disease
has always been supposed to be incurable,
out Mr.. Northrop's condition is greatly inn
proved, and it looks now as If 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 reguined his old-time
strength. .:-.
F, IT has been limited to the writer of this
article, who was acquainted with Mr..
Northrop, that this miraculous change had
cen 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 oulv
so, but lie had taken pains toinform anyone
who was suffering In q similar manner
when he heard of any such caso Mr.. Nor
throp was enthusiastic at the result in his
own case Of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. It
was 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 al-
leviate this terrible malady, but without
any avail. He had given up hope, when a
friend In Lockport. N. T., wrote him of tho
case OF person there 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 s"rhe
Hamilton Miracle and told the story of
man in that city who, after almost incred-
tble suffering. was pronounced by the most
eminent physicians to be incurable and per-
manently disabled. lie had spent hundreds
of dollars in all sorts of treatment and AL
planes 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 q Little William
St., Hamilton, Ont. was Il member of the
Royal Templars of Temperance, and after
having been pronounced permanently dis
abled and incurable by the physicians, was
paid the 81 600 disability insurance provided
by the order for it's members in such cases.
For years Mr.. Marshall had been utterly
helpless, and was barely able to drag him
III.
es. His agonics were almost unbearable
and life was burden to him, when ut last
relief came Some months after he had
been paid the dra fifty claim he heard of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and was induced to
try them The result was miraculous: al-
most from the outset All improvement was
noticed, and in u 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
30 well known in Hamilton that all the city
newspapers wrote up his wonderful rccov-
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 Mr.. Nor
throp His injury came about in this way:
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
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 affliction fastened itself upon
him. For nearly two years he was perfect
port his strength in the least effort. He
had to be wheeled about in an invalid's
chair. He was weak, pale and fast sinking
when his timely information came that YER
itably snatched his life from tho Jaws Of
death Those, who at that time saw fee
BILE old man wheeled into his store on an in
valtd's chair, would not recognize the man
now, 80 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
ofDr. Williams Pink Pills through Messrs
Bassett Il L'Hommedieu, 95 Woodward
avenue, and from the outset found an i'm
provcment. He faithfully adhered to the
use of the remedy until now he is COM
p tely restored. Mr.. Northrop declares
That there can be no doubt as to Pink Pills
being the cause Of his restoration to health,
~ all other remedies and medical treatment
left him in a condition rapidly going from
bad to worse, until at last it 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. Will
nams' 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 blood builder and nerve restorer;
supplying In a condensed form all the ele-
meuts 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 appe-
tite, dizziness, sleeplessness, oss of memory,
and all diseases arising from overwork,
mental worry, loss of vital force, etc.
IL want to say" said Mr.. Northrop, THAT
l don't have much faith in patent medtctnes,
but cannot say too much in praise of DR..
Williams Pink Pills. The proprietors,
however, claim that they are not patent
medicine In tho sense in which that term l,
used, but highly scientific preparation,
tho result of years of careful study and ex-
pertinent on the part of tho proprietors,
