Particulars Of One Of the Most Remarkable
Cures on Record Described by the De-
troit News'-A Story Worth
a Careful Perusal.


great and enduring fame. The story is
told by the News as 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 it de-
manded further explanation. II is of suffi-
Gent Importance to the News readers to
report it to them fully. 1t WAS so important
then that it attracted considerable atten-
ton at the time. The following Is the para
graph in question::
&c. Is. Northrop, for twenty-eight years
one OF the best known merchants on Wood
ward avenue, who was supposed to be
dying last spring of locomotor ataxis, 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
has greatly improved. and it 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. Til he has Tegained his oldtime
strength.
1t had 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 DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. When asked about il Mr.. NOrthr0p
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.. Nor
throp was enthusiastic at the result in his
OWN case of DIR. 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 ale
viate this terrible malady. but without any
avail He had given up hope, when a
friend In Lockport, n. Y, wrote him
OF the case OF a person there who had
been cured in similar circumstances by Dr.
Williams PINK Pills for Pale People. The
person cured at Lockp0rt had obtained his
information respecting DR.. Williams Pink
Pills from an article published in the Ham,
liton (OntaTio) Times. The case was called
The Hamilton Miracle" and told the
story OF man in that city whO after almost
incredible suffering, was pronounced by the
most eminent PHYSICIANS to be incurable and
permanently disabled. lie had spent hum
dreds oil 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 % Little William street.
Hamilton. Ontario). was a member of the
Royal TemplaTs Of Temperance, and after
having been pronounced permanently dis
abled aud incurable by the physicians, was
paid the $1,000 insurance disability pro-
yded by the order for its members IN such
cases. For years MI Marshall had been
utterly helpless. and he was barely able to
drag himself around the house with the aid
OF clutches. His sgonies were almost I'M
bearable and life was a burden TO him, when
at last relief came. Some months after he
had been paid the disability claim he heard
oil Dr. Williams Pink Pills and was In
duced 10 try them. The result was miracu-
lous; almost from the outset an improve
ment was noticed, and in few months the
man whom medical experts had said was in
durable, was going about the city healthier
and stronger than before. MIR. Marshall
was SO well known in Hamilton that n II the
city newspapers wrote up his wonderful re-
eovery In detail, and IL was thus as before
stated, that Mr. NOrthrop came into posses
sion of the information that led to his
equally marvellous recovery. One could
scarcely conceive a case more hopeless than
that Of Mr.. Northr0p. His injury came
about In this way: One day nearly four
years ago he stun bled and fell the COM
plete 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 and taken TO his home.
Creeping paralysis very soon developed
itself, and in spite of the most strenuous
efforts OF friends and physicians the terrible
afiliction fastened itself upon him. For
nearly two years he was perfectly helpless.
He could do nothing TO support his strength
In the least effort. He had tn be wheeled
about in an invalid's chair. He was weak,
pale and last sinking when this timely in
formation came that yerltably snatched his
life from the jaws of death. Those who at
that time saw a feeble old man wheeled into
his store on an inyalid's 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 Lock port, he
procured supply OF DIR. Williams Pink
Pills through Messrs. Basset q LHom-
medieu, 90 Woodward avenue. and from the
outset found an Improvement. He faith
fully adhered 10 the use of the remedy until
now he is completely restored. Mr.. North
rop declares that there can be no doubt as 10
Pink Pills being the cause of his restora-
ton to health, as all other remedies and
medical treatment left him In condition
rapidly going from had TO worse until at
last 1t was declared there was no hope for
him and he Was pronounced incurable. He
was Ia this terrible condition when he be-
gan 10 use DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and they
have restored him to health.
Mr.. Northrop was asked what was claimed
Tor This wonderful remedy. and replied that
he understood the proprietOrs claim il to be
blood builder and nerve restorer, supply
ing IN condensed form all the elements
necessary to enrich the blood, restore the
shattered nerves and drive out disease Ii
10 claimed by the propTletOrs that Pink Pills
Will cure paralysis, rheumatism. sciatica,
paIpitati0n OF the heart. headache and ali
diseases peculiar TO females. loss of appe-
tite, dizziness, sleeplessness. loss of men,
DRY. and all diseases arising from over
work, mental worry. loss of vital force, etc.
II want sto say" said Mr.. NoTtbrop.
that / don't have much faith in patent
medicines, but | cannot say too much in
praise OF DIR. Williams Pink Pills The
propTietors, however. claim that they are
not a patent medicine in the sense in which
tina. term is used, but highly scientific
preparation, the result of years of careful
study and experiment on the part OF the
proprietOrs, and the pills were successfully
used III private practice for years before
being placed for general sale. Mr. Northrop
declares that he is living example that
there Is nothing to equal these pills as
cure Tor nerve diseases. On inquiry the
writer found that these pills were manu-
featured by DIR. Willsms' Medicine Com
pany, Schenectady, n. Y, and BrockyiIIe.
Ontario, ana the pills are sold in boxes
(neyer in bulk by the hundred) at 50 cents a
box. and may be had of all druggists or
direct by mail from DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, from either above addresses
The price at which these pills are sold
makes course of treatment with them
comparatively inexpensive as compared
with other remedies or medical treatment
This case is one OF the most remarkable on
record, and as it Is one right here in De-
troit, and not thousand miles away, il can
be easily verified. Mr.. Northrop is very
well known TO the people in Detroit, and he
says he Is only too glad TO testify Of the
marvellous good wrought in his case. He
says ho considers it his duty to help all who
are similarly afflicted by any word he can
say in behalf of the wonderful efficacy of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. IL any of the
News readers want any further informa-
ton, We feel sure Mr.. Northrop would will
ingly 0bige them, as he has the writer in
relating these facts to hims
