Medical Science.

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

ONu Country, NOH great ana 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 the
News as follows:
The following paragraph, which appeared
in the News short time ago, furnished the
basis Of this informatiOn-a case that was
Sc wonderfully remarkable that it demand
ed further explanation. 1t Ia Of sufficient
Importance to the News readers to report
1t to them fully. 1t was so important then
that it attracted considerable attention at
the time. The fOllowingis the paragraph in
question:
&c. B. NOrthrop, for IS years one Of the
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 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, 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 regained 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 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 toinfOrm anyone
who was suffering in a similar manner
when he heard Of any such case. Mr.. Nor
throp 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 al.
leviate this terrible malady, but without
any avail. He had given up hope, when
friend in LocBport 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 infor-
nation respecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills
from an article published in the Hamilton.
Ont, Times. The case was called ''The
Hamilton Miracle" and told the story of a
man in that city who, after almost incred-
ible suffering, was pronounced by the most
eminent physicians to be incTable and per-
manently disabled. He had spent hundreds
Of dollars in all sorts Of treatment and ap-
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 member of the
Royal Templars of Temperance, and after
having been pronounced permanently dis
abed and incurable by the physicians, was
paid the $1,000 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 bis house with theaid of crutch
es. His agOnics were almost unbearable
and life was burden to him, when at last
relief came Some mouths 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 a 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 knOwnin 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 a
case more hopeless than that of Mr. Nor
throp. His injury came about in this way:
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
~ injured. He was picked apand taken to
his home Creepingparalysis very soon de-
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
ly helpless. He could do nothing to sup
port his strength in the least effort. He
had to be wheeled about in an invald's
chair. He was weak, pale and fast sinking
when his timely information came that YER
itably snatched his life from the laws Of
death. Those, who at that time saw fee
bic old man wheeled into his store on an in
yalid's chair, would not recognize the man
now, so 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
ofDr. Williams Pink Pills through Messrs.
Bassett & LHommedieu, % Woodward
avenue, and from the outset found an i'm
provement He faithfully adhered to 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 condition rapidly going from
bad to worse, until at last it was declared
there was no hope for him and he was pro-
uOunOCN luOuA obAO 1AC W do III llll6 ltITlOl6
condition when he began to use DR.. Will
hams' 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 and nerve restorer;
supplying in a 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. sciatica,
palpitation of the heart, headache, and all
diseases peculiar to females, loss of appe
tite, dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of memory
and all diseases arising from overwork
mental very, loss of vital force, etc.

l don't have much faith in patentmedicines
but cannot say too much in praise of DR.
Williams Pink Pills. The proprietors
however, claim that they are not pstenr

used, but highly scientific preparation
