Detroit Evening News. Jan. 2lr d.


The following paragraph. which appear
ed 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 suf-
ficient Importance TO The News readers
TO report it TO them fully. 1t was so inn
portant then that il attracted considerable
attention at the time. The following is the
paragraph in question:
&C. Il. Northrop. iCr2 % years one Of the
best known merchants on Woodward ave-
nue., who Was supposed 10 DE dying last
spring OF locomotor ataXia, or creeping
paralysis has secured a new lease OF life
and returned to work at his store. The
disease has always been supposed TO be in
durable. but Mr.. Northrops condition is
greatly improved, and il looks now as if
the grave would be cheated OF its prey"
Since that time Mr.. Northrop has stead
lily improved. not only in looks, but in con-
dton. 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 it Mr.. North
rop fully verified the statement, and not
only so, but lie had taken pains TO inform
any one who was suffering in "a similar
manner when he heard OF any such case.
Mr.. Northrop vas enthusiastic at the
result in his own case of DR.. Williams
( Pink Pills. IT was a 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 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 obta ned his information
respecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills from
an article published in the Hamilton Ont g,
Times The case was called 1.-THE Ham
iltou 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. He had spent
hundreds Of dollars in all sorts OF treat
ment and appliances only TO be tod in the
end that there was no hope for him, and
that cure was impossible. The rerson
alluded TO Mr.. John Marshall, of 20 Little
William street, Hamilton, Ont. was a
member OF the Royal Temp.ars of Ten
perance, and after having been pro-
nouuccd permanently disabled and in
curaO by the physicians, WAS paid the
1000 disability insurance provided by the
order for its members in such cases. For
years MIR. Marshall had been utterly help
less, and was barely able to drag himself
around his house with the aid of crutches.
His agon.es were almost unbearable and
life was burden TO him, when at last re-
lief 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 u few months the man
whom medical experts had said was incur
able, was again going about the city
healthier and stronger than before. Mr.
Marshall was so well known in Hamilton
that al! the city newspapers wrote up his
wonderful recovery in detail, and IL was
thus, as before stated, that Mr.. NorthroT
came into possession OF the information
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 of u steep flight o.
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 strenuou:
efforts of friends and physicians the
terrible affection fastened itself upor
him. For nearly two years he was per
fectly helpless. He could do nothing tC
support his strength in the least effort.
He had To be wheeled about in an invalid's
chair He was weak, pale and fast sink
ing when this timely information came
that verltably snatched his life from the
Jaws of death. Those who at that time
saw feeble old man wheeled into his
store on an invalid chair. would not recog-
niZe the man now, so great is the change
that DIR. 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 supply OF DIR. Williams Pink
Pills through Messrs. Bassett x LHom-
medieu. 90 Woodward avenue, and from
the outset found an Improvement. He
faithfully adhered to the use of the remedy
sntl now he is completely restored. Mr..
Northrop declares that there can be no
doubt as TO Pink Pills being the cause of
his wonderful restoration 10 health. as all
other remedies and medical treatment
left him in a condition rapidly going Fl ON
bad TO worse. until at last it was declared
that there was no hope for him and he was
pronounced incuraDle. He was in this ter
rible condition when he began to use DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. and they have re-
stored him 10 health.
Mr.. Northrop was asked what was
claimed for this wonderful remedy, and
replied that he understood the proprietors
