/ GREAT TRIUMPH FOR CANADIAN
MEDICAL SCIENCE.

UtDeUToib NeWs.t
The following paragraph, which appeared
in the News a short time ago. furnished the
basis of this information-a case that was
so wonderfully remarkable that it demaude J
further explanation. 1t is OF sufficient i'm
portance to the News readers to report it to
them fully. 1t was so important then that
it attracted considerable attention at the
time. The following is the paragraph in
question::
&C. b. Northrop, for 2S years one of the
best known merchants on Woodward ave
nue., who was supposed TO be dying last
spring of locomotor ataxIa, or creeping
paralysis, has securel a new lease of life and
returned to work at his store. The diseas'
has always been supposed to he iucurable,
ut Mr.. Northrop's condition is greatly i'm
proved, and it looks now as IL the grave
would be cheated of its prey"
Since that time Mr.. Northrop has steadily
improved, not only in looks, but in condition.
till he has regained his old-time strength
1t had been hinted to the writer OF this
article, who was acquainted with Mr.
Northror, that this miraculous change hal
been wrought by very simple remedy
called DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. When asked about it Mr.. Northrop
fully verified the statement, AMI not
only so, but he had taken pains to
inform any one WHO was suffering
in q similar manner when he heard of any
such case. Mr.. Northrop was enthusiastic
Mt the result in his own case of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. 1t 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 alleviate this terrible malady,
but without any avail. He had given up
hope when friend in Lockport, N. Y,
wrote him of the case of a person there who
had been cured in similar circumstanc' IS by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
The person cured at Lockport had
obtained his information respecting
DR.. Williams' Pink Pills from an article
published in the Hamilton, Ont, Times.
The case was called 'The Hamilton Miracle
and told the story of man in that city who,
after almost incredible suffering, was pro-
nounced ty the most eminent physicians to
be incurable and permanently disabled. 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 al
luded to (Mr. John Marshall, of 25 Little
William ST., Hamilton. Ont.,l was mem
ber of the Royal Templars of Temperance,
and after having been pronounced perma-
nently disabled and Incurable by the phys-
clans, was paid the $1,000 disability insurance
provided by the orIer 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 unbear-
able 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
Improvement was noticed, and in few
months the man whom medical experts had
said was incurahle, was going about the
city healthier and stronger than before, Mr..
Marshall was so well 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 infor nation that
led to his equally marvellous recovery. One
could scarcely conceive a 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 ofa steep fight of stairs
which were at the rear of his store. His
head and spine were severely injured. He
was picked up and taken to his home Creep
ing paralysis very soon developed itself, anil
in spite of the most strenuous efforts
of friends and physicians the ter
ribe affiiction fastened itself upon him.
For nearly two years he was perfectly
helpless. He could do nothing to sup
port his strength in the least effort. He had
to be wheeled about in inyalid's chair.
He weak, pale and fast sinking when
his timely information came that verltabiy
snatched his life from the jaws of death.
Those who at that time saw a feeble old man
wheeled into his store on an invalids chair
would not recognize the man now, so great
is the change that DR.. 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.. Williams Pink
Pills through Messrs. Bassett & EHomme-
dieu, y5 Woodward avenue, and from the
outset found an Improvement. He faithfully
adhered to the use of the remedy until now
he is completely restored MIR. Northrop
declares that there can be no doubt as to
Pink Pills being the cause of his restoration
to health, as all other remedies and medical
treatment left him in a condition rapidly 60
ing from bad to worse until at last 1t was
declared there was no hope for him and he
was pronounced incurabe. He was in this
terrible condition when he began to use DIR.
Williams Pink Pills, and they have restored
hum TO health.
Mr.. Northrop was asked what was claimed
for this wonderful remedy, and replied that
he understood that ,he proprietors claim 1t
to be blood builder and nerve restorer;
supplying in a condensed form all the ele-
ments necessary to enrich the blood, restore
shattered nerves ami drive out disease. 1t
is claimed by the proprietors that Pink Pills
VIII cure paralysis rheumatism, sciatica,
palpitation OF the heart, headache, and all
diseases peculiar to females loss OF appetite,
dizziuess, sleeplessness, loss of memory, and
all diseases arising from overwork, mental
worry, loss of vital force, etc.
II want to say" said Mr.. Northrop, ''that
don't have much faith in patent medicines,
but | cannot say too much in favor of DR..
Williams Pink Pills. The proprietors, how
ever, claim that they are not patent med
icine In the sense in which that term is used,
but highly scientific preparation, the re-
suit of years of careful study and expert
ment on the part Of the propretors, and the
pills were successfully used in private
practice for years before being placed
for general sale. Mr.. Northrop
declares that he is living ex-
ample that there is nothing 10 equal these
pills as a cure for nerve diseases. On inquiry
the writer found that these pills were man
ufactured by DIR. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, n. Y, and Brockvllle, Ont,
and the pills are sold in boxes tnever in buis
by the hundredl, at 81 cents box, ant may

from Dr. Williams Medicine Co. from eithir
above addresses. Tho price at which These
pills are sold makes course OF treatment
with them comparatively Inexpensive as
compared with other RENE lies or medical
treatment. This case Is one OF the most re-
markable on record, AMI As IL is one right
here In Detroit, and not y thousant miles
away, IL can be easily verified Mr.. North.
