A DETROIT MIRACLE.
A Great Triumph for Medical Science.
Particulars of One of the Most Remarkable
Cures on Record Described by the
Detroit News-A Story Worth
a Careful Perusai.

DETROIT, MICH, December Ia, lSG.-A case
| has just come to light here, the particulars
of which are published in the Erening Neus,
| which will be read with considerable interest,
as it records the remarkable achievement of a
medical discovery which has already won great
and enduring fame. The story is told by the
| Neus as follows:
| The following paragraph, which appeared in
the News short time ago. furnished the basis
| of this infoTmation-a case that was so Won
derfuiy remarkable that it demanded further
explanation. 1t is of sufficient Importance to
the Ne,Cs' readers to report it to them fully.
1t was so important then that j: attracted con-
| siderable attention at the time. The following
| is the paragraph i'll question:
&C. B. Northrop, for % years one of the best
known merchants on Woodward avenue, who
was supposed to be dying last Spring of loco
motor ataxia, creeping paralysis, 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
has greatly improved and he 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 condition,
till he has regained his old time strength.
1t had been limited to the writer of this arti
Gle, 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.. Nortbrop fully verified the statement
and not only So but he had taken pains to in
| form anyone who was suffering in 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
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 Lock
port, N. Y, wrote him of the case of person
there who had been cured in similar circum-
stances by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. The person cured at Lockport had
obtained his information respecting DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills from an article published in
the Hamilton. Ont, Times. The case was called
1.-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. He had spent hundred of 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 ST., Hamilton, Ont.,) was a member of
the Royal Templars Of Temperance, and after
having been pronounced permanently disabled
and incurable by the physicians, was paid the
$1,000 insurance disability provided by the
Order for its members in such cases. For years
Mr.. Marshall had been utterly helpless, and he
was barely able to drag himself around the
house with the aid of crutches. His agonies
were almost unbearable and life was burden
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 few
months the man whom medical experts had
said was incurable, was going about the
city healthier and stronger than before. DIR.
Marshall was so we'll 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 ito possession
of the information that led to his equally mar
yelous recovery. One could scarcely conceive
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 a 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
very soon developed 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 perfectly helpless.
He could do nothing 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 information
came that vertically snatched his life from the
laws of death. Those who at that time saw a
feeble old man wheeled into his store on an
invaid'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 a supply of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills through Messrs, Bassett q L'ltom-
medieu, 95 Woodward avenue, and from the
outset found an Improvement. he faithfully
adhered to the use of the remedy until now he
is completely restored. Mr.. N0rthrop 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 pronounced incur
able. He was in this terrible condition when
| he began to use DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and
| they have restored 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 aud nerve restorer, supplying in
| condensed form all the elements necessary to
| enrich the blood, restore the shattered nerves
| and drive out disease. 1t is claimed by the
| proprietors 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 over
| work, mental worry, loss of vital force, etc.

| don't have much faith in patent medicines, but
cannot say too much in praise of DR.. Williams
| Pink Pills. The proprietors, however, claim
| that they are not a patent medicine in the
| sense in which that 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

placed for general sale. Mr. NorthrOp declares
that he is living example that there is moth
