News us follows
The following paragraph, which appeared
in the News u short time ago, furnished the
basis orthis information u case that was
so wonderfully remarkable that it demand
ed further explanation. 1t is of sufficient
Importance to the News renders to report
it to them fully. 1t was so important then
that 1t attracted considerable attention at
the time The following is the paragraphin
| question:
| &C. b. Northrop, for % years one OF the
| best known merchants ON Woodward av-
enue, who was supposed to be dying last
| spring of locomotor ntaxia, or creeping par
| alysis, has secured II new lease of life and
returned to work az his store. The disease
has always been supposed TO be incurable,
! but Mr. Northrops 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 od-time
| strength ..
1t has been hinted to the writer of this
article, who was acquainted with Mr..
| Northrop, that this miraculous chunge 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 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. II
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 al.
| leviate this terrible malady, but without
| any avail. He had given up hope, when o
| friend In Loclsport, N. Y e, wrote him of the
| case of person there who had been cured
| in similar circumstances by DIR. Williams
| Pink Pills for Pale People The person
| cured at LoclSport had obtained his inTor-
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 q
| man in that city who, after almost incred.
| ible 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 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 25 Little William
ST., Hamilton, Ont.) was "a member Of the
Royal Tempars of Temperance, and after
having been pronounced permanently dis
abled and incurable by the physicians, was
| paid the 81, 600 disability insurance provided
| by the order for its members In such cases.

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 at last
| relief came. Some months after he had
been paid the disability claim he heard OF
DIR. Williams Pink Pills and was induced to
try them. The result was miraculous; al
most from the outset an improvement was
| noticed, and in Il few months the man
| whom medical experts hnd said was incur
able, was going about the city healthier and
stronger than before. Mr.. Marshall was
SO we'll known III 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
case more hopeless than that of Mr. Nor
throp His injury came about in this way:
One day nearly four years ago, he STUN

flight OF stairs which were ut the rear of
his store. His head and spine were severe

ly helpless. He could do nothing to sup
port his strength in the least effort He
had to be wheeled about in an lnvalid'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
Bile old man wheeled into his store on an in
valid'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 Locllport. he procured supply
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills through Messrs.
Bassett & L'Hommedieu, 90 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
Jnat tnere 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
liams' 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 proprletors claim 1t

ments necessary to enrich the blood, restore
