DETROIT, Mich July Goth, 1S9o.-A case
has just come to light here, the particulars
of which are published in the Evening
News, which will be read with considerable
interest by all Canadians, as it records the
remarkable achievement of Canadian
medical discovery, which has already in its
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 lus''e on
Canadian science. The story is told by the
News follows:
The following paragraph, which appeared
in the News n short time ago, furnished the
basis OF this information . case that was
SO wonderfully remarkable that it demand
ed further explanation. 1t is OF sufficient
Importance 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 % years one Of tho
best known merchants on Woodward av-
enue who was supposed to be dying last
spring of locomotor ataxia, or creeping par
alysis, has secured new lease OF lite and
returned to work at his store The disease
has always been supposed to be ncurable,
but Mr. Northrop's condition is greatly I'M
proved, 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, till he has reg;tined his old-time
strength.
1t has 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 DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People When asked about it Mr.. Northrop
full Tod fat and Oulv
so, but he had taken pains to inform anyone
who was suffering in similar manner
when he heard of any such case. Mr.. Nor
throp was enthusiastic at the result III his
own case of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. 1t
was a remedy that ne had heard OF after he
had tried every thing he could hope to give
him relief. He had been in the care OF tho
best hysicians who did all they could to al
1eviate this terrible malady, but without
any avail. He had given up hope, when
friend in Lockport, N. y, wrote him of the
case of Il person there who had been cured
in similar circumstances by DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. Tie person
cured at Lockport had obtained his infor-
nation respecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills
from article published in the Hamilton,
Ont, Times. The case was called 1.-The
Hamilton Miracle and told the story of a
ryan in that city who, after almost incred-
eminent physicians to be incurable and per-
manently disabled. He had spent hundreds
of dollars in all sorts of treatment and APP
planes 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
St, Hamilton, Ont.} was a member OF the
Royal Templars OF Temperance, and after
having been pronounced permanently dis
l,,-<
paid the 81 900 disability insurance provided
by the order for it's 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 unbearable
and life was burden to him, when ut 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 months 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 re:ov-
cry in detail, and it was thus before
stated, that Mr.. Northrop came into
possession of the information that

cry. One could scarcely conceive
case more hopeless than that of Mr.. Nor
throp. His injury came about in this way:
One day nearly four years ago he SUM
bled and fell the complete length Of a 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 de-
velOped itself, and In spite OF the most
strenuous efforts Of friends and hysicans
the terrible affection fastened itself upon
him. For nearly two years he was perfect
ly helpless. He could do nothing to sup
port his strength in the least effort. He
had to be wheeled about in an nvald's
chair. He was weak, pale and fast sinking
when his timely information came that ver-
itably snatched his life from the jaws of
death Those, who at that time saw fee
bic old man wheeled into his store on an in
valid's chair, would not recognize the man
now, 50 great is the change that DR.. Will
liams' 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 Dr. Williams Pink Pills through Messrs.
Bassett & L'Hommedieu, 95 Woodward
avenue, and from the outset found an i'm
proyement. He faithfully adhered 20 the
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 a condition rapidly going from
bad to worse, until at last it was declared
there was no hope for him and he WAS pro-
nounced incurable He was in this terrible
condition when he began to use Dr. Will
Jams Pink Pills, and they have restored
him to health.
