A DETROIT MIRACLE.
A Great Triumph for Medical Science.
Particular of one of the Most Remark
able Cures on Record Described
by the Detroit News-A Story
Worth a Careful Perusal

Detroit, Mich, Aug. ga case has
just come to light here, the particulars of
which are published in the Evening News,
which will be read with considerable in
terest, as it records the remarkable
achievement of medical discovery, which
has already won great and enduring fame.
The story is told by the News as follows:
The following paragraph, which appear
ed in the News short time ago, furnish
ed the basis Of this information-a case
that was so wonderfully remarkable that
it demanded further explanation. 1t is Of
sufficient Importance to the News readers
to report 1t to them fully. 1t was so i'm
portant then that it attracted considerable
attention at the time. The following Is
the paragraph In question:
&C. Il. Northrop, for % years one OF
the best known merchants on Woodward
avenue, who was supposed to DO dying
last spring OF locomotor ataxia, or creep
ing paralysis, has secured q new lease OF
life and returned to work at his store.
The disease has always been supposed to
be incurable, but Mr.. Northrop's condi-
tions Is greatly improved, and 1t looks
now as IL the grave would be cheated Of
Its prey"
Since that time Mr.. Northrop has stead
lily improved, not only in looks, but In
condition, till he has regained his old-time
strength.
1t had been limited to the writer of this
article, who was acquainted with Mr..
Northrop, that this miraculous change
had been wrought by very. simple
remedy called Dr. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. When asked about 1t
Mr.. Northrop fully verified the statement,
and not only so, but he had taken pains
to inform any one who was suffering in a
similar manner when he heard OF any
such case. Mr.. Northop was enthusiast
tic at the result in his own case OF DR..
Williams Pink Pills. 1t was q remedy
that he had heard Of after he had tried
everything he could hope to give him re-
lief. He had been in the care of the best
physicians who did all they could to al
levate this terrible malady, but without
any avail. He had given up hope, when
friend In Lockport, N. Y, wrote him OF
the case Of person there who bad been
cured in similar circumstances by DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
The person cured at Lockport had OBJ
tanned his information respecting DIR.
Williams Pink Pills from an article pub
lished in the Hamilton, Ont, Times. The
case was called 1.-THE Hamilton Miracle"
and told the story of man I'm that city
who, after almost incredible suffering,
was pronounced by the most eminent
physicians to be incurable and permanent
ly disabled. He had spent hundreds OF
dollars In all sorts of treatment and APP
pliances 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 Dember Oh the
Royal Templars of Temperance, and after
having been pronounced permanently dis
abled and incurable by the physicians, was
paid the 81 900 disability insurance pro-
vided by the order for Its members LII 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 un-
and life was a burden to him,
when at last relief came. Some months
after he had been paid the disability claim
he heard OF DIR. Williams Pink Pills and
was induced to try them. The result was
almostfrom the outset an i'm
was noticed, and In few
months the manwhom medical experts had
said was incurable, was going about the city
healthier and stronger than before. Mr..
was so we'll known In Hamilton
that all the city newspapers wrote up his
wonderful recovery In detail, and 1t 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 case
more hopeless than that Of Mr..
Northrop. His injury came around In
this way: One day nearly four years ago,
he stumbled and fell the complete length
Of a steep flight Of stairs which were at
The rear OF his store. His head and spine
were severely injured. He was picked up
