own country, won great and enduring
fame. At this added triumph there is no
doubt the fellow countrymen OF the pro-
prietors will rejoice, as it sheds lustre on
Canadian science The story is told BY tho
News as follows:
The following paragraph, which appeared
In the News short time ago, furnished the
basis OF this fnformation-a case that was
% wonderfully remarkable that 1t demand
| ed further explanation. II In OF sufficient
| Importance to the News readers TO reports
1t to them fully. 1t was SO important then,
that II attracted considerable attention at
the time. The following is the paragraph in
question:
&c b. Norihrop, for % years one of The
| best known merchants on Woodward av-
eDue, who was supposed to be dying Inst
spring of locomotor ataxia, or creeping par
| alysis, has secured a 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 i'm
proved, aud it looks now as II the grave
would be cheated of its preyn
| 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 becnhinted to the writer Of this
article, who was acquainted with Mr..
Northrop, that this miraculous change had
been WI ought by a very simple remedy
called DR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. When asked aboutit Mr.. Northrop
fully verified the statement, and not ouly
so, but lie had taken pains TO inform anyone
who was suffering In a similar manner
| when he heard OF any such case. Mr.. Nor
throp was enthusiastic ut the result in his
n
was remedy that he had heard of aftershe=
had tried every thing he could hope to give
him relief He had been In the care OF tho
best physicians who did all they could to al
leviate 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 had been cured
| in similar circumstances by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People The person
cured ut Lockport had obtained his infor-
| nation respecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills
| from an article published IN the Hamilton,
Ont, s1fmes.-- Tho case was called "rhe
Hamilton Miracle and told the story Of
man in that city who, after almost incred-
| ible suffering, was pronounced by the most
| eminent physicians to be incurable and per-
manently 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 a member OF tho
Royal Tcmplars of Temperance, and after
| having been pronounced permanently dis
ablcd and incurabe by the physicians, was
paid the 81, 900 disability insurance provided
by. the order for its members in such cases.
For years Mr.. Marshall had been utterly
helpless, and was barely able to drag him
self around his house with the aid of crutch-
es. His agonies were almost unbearuble
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; al
most from the outset an Improvement was
noticed, and in few mouths the man
whom medical experts had said was incur
able, 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 recov-
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 q

One day nearly four years ago, he STUN
bled and fell the complete length Of 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 do
veloped itself, and In spite of the most
strenuous efforts OF friends and physicians
the terrible affection fastened itself upon
him. For nearly two years he was perfect

when his timely information came that ver-
itably snatched his life from tho Jaws Of
death. Those, who at that time saw a fec
BILE old man wheeled into his store on an in
valid's chair. would not recognize the man
now, SO great is the change that DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills have wrought When Mr..
Northrop learned Of the remedy that had
cured Mr.. Marshall in Hamilton, and tho
person In Lockport he procured supply
Of Dr. Williams Pink Pills through Messrs.
Bassett Il L'Hommedieu, 95 Woodward
avenue, and from the outset found an i'm

use of the remedy until now he is COM
pletely restored. Mr.. 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 q condition rapidly going from
bad to worse, until at last 1t was declared
there was no hope for him and he was FRO

for this wonderful remedy, and replied
that he understood the proprietors caim~it
to be a blood builder and nerve restorcr;
supplying In condensed form all the ele-
ments necessary to enrich the blood, restore
shattered nerves and drive out disease. Il
Is claimed by the proprietors that Pink Pills
will cure paralysis, rheumatism. scatica,
palpitation of the heart, headache, and all
diseases peculiar to females, loss Of appe-
lite. dizziness, sleeplessncss,( oss 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 patentmedicines,
but ! cannot say too much in praise OF DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. The proprietors,
however, claim that they arc not patent
medicine In the sense in which that term Is
used, but highly scientific preparation,
the result Of years Of careful study and ex-
pertinent on the part OF tho proprtetors,
and the pills were successfully used in pri-
vate 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 n cure for 4
nerve diseases Oninquirythe writer found
that these pills were manufactured by Dir.

them comparatively inexpensive as COM

remarkable. on record, and as 1t 10 one right
here In Detroit and not a thousand miles
away, 1t can be easily verified. Mr.. Nor

Detroit, and he says he IL only too glad to
