SCIENCE.

able Cures on Record Described
by the Detroit News-A Story
Worth a Careful PerusaI.


DETROIT, MICH, Dec. 2S.-A case has just
come TO light here, the particulars of which
are published in the EUenin0 Net0s, which
will be read with considerable interest, as
it records the remarkable achievement OF q
medical discovery, which has already won
| great and enduring fame. The story is told
| by the Nsaos as follows:
The following paragraph, which appeared
in the Nes0s a short time ago, furnished the
basis of this information-a case that was so
onderfully remarkable that it demanded
further explanation. 1t is of sufficient i'm
| portance to the Neps' readers to report it
to them fully. 1t was so important
then that it attracted considerable atten-
tion at the time. The following is the para
graph in question:
&c. B. Nortnrop. for % years one Of the
best known merchants on Woodward ave-
nue., 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 at his store. The disease
has always been supp osed to be incurable,
but Mr.. Northrop's condition is greatly i'm +.
proved, and it looks now as if the gra We

Since that time Mr. Northrop has steadily
improved, not only in looks, but in condi-
tion, till he has regatned his oId-time
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 a very simple remedy
called Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. When asked about it 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..
Northrop was enthusiastic at 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 with
out any avail. He had given mp hope,
when 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 Lockport had obtained his
information respecting DR.. Williams Pink
Pills from an article published in the Ham
1lton, Ont, Times The case was called "phe
Hamilton Miracle" and told tho story ofa
man in that city who, after almost incredi-
bic 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 ap-
pliances only to he 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 street,
Hamilton, Ont.,) was a member OF the
Royal Templars of Temperance, and after
having been pronounced permanently
disabled and incdrable by the physicians
was paid the 81, 900 disability insurance pro-
vfded by the order 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 un-
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
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 a few months the
man whom medical experts had said
was incurable, 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 it was
thus as before stated, that Mr.. Northrop
came into possession of the information that
led to his equally marvellous recovery. One
could scarcely conceive ca Sc 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 of 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. Creeping paralysis

the most strenuous efforts OF friends and
physicians the terrible affliction fastened
itself upon him. For nearly two years he
was perfectly helpless He could do MOTH
ing to support 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 this timely in
formation came that veritably snatched his
life from the jaws of death. Those who at
that time saw feeble old man wheeled into
his store on an invalid'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 Lockport, he
procured a supply of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills through Messrs. Bassett & L'Hom-
medieu, 95 Woodward avenue, and from the |
outset found an Improvement. He faith. |
fully adhered to the use of the remedy until |
now he is completely 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 medicsl |
treatment left him in a condition rapidly |
going from bad to worse. until at last it |
was declared there was no hope for him ard |
he was pronounced incurable. He was in |
this terrible condition when he began to use |
Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and they have re-
stored 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, supply
ing in q condensed form all the elements |
necessary to enrich the blood, restore shat |
tered nerves and drive out disease. 1t is |
claimed by the propTietors that Pink Pills |
will cure paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica,
palpitation of the heart, headache and all |
diseases peculiar TO females, loss OF appetite, |
dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of memory and |
all diseases arising from overwork, mental |
worry, loss of vital force. etc.
81 want to say" said Mr.. Northrop, "that |
don't have much faith in patent medicines,
but 1 cannot say too much in praise of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. The proprie-
tors however, claim that they are
not q patent medicine in the sense in which
that term is used, but highly scientific
preparation, the result of years OF careful
study and experiment OH the part of the
proprietors, and the pills were successfully
used in private practice for years before
being placed for general sale. MIR. Northrop
declares that he is living example that
there is nothing to equal these pills as a
cure for nerve diseases. On inquiry the
