furnished the basis of this information
IA case that was so wonderfully re-
markable that it demanded further ex-
PLANTATION. 1t is OF sufficient import
ance TO the News readers TO report 1t
to them fully. 1t was so important
then that it attracted considerable at
tention at the time. The following is
the paragraph in question:
&C. b. Northrop, for twenty-eight
years one of the best known merchants
on Woodward avenue, who was sup
posed to be dying last spring of loco
motor ataxia, or creeping paralysis,
has secured a new lease OF life and re-
turned to work at his store. The
disease has always been supposed 70 be
incnrnble, but MIR. Northrop condition
is greatly improved, 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 condition, till he has regained
his old-time strength.
II 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.. Northrop fully Veri-
fed the statement, and not only so. but

who was suffering in similar manner
when he heard of any such ease.
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 every
thing he could hope TO give him re-
lief lie 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 a friend in Lockport, n.
r., 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 Loekport had obtained his
information respecting DIR. Williams
Pink Pills from an article pub
lished 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 incrsdi-
BILE suffering, was pronounced by the
most eminent physicians TO be incura-
BILE and permanently disabled. He
had spent hundreds 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 mir. John Marshall of 25
Little William street, Hamilton, 0nt1,
was member of the Royal Temulars
OF Temperance, and after having been
pronounced permanently disabled and
incurable by the physicians, was paid
the 81, 600 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 himself around his house with
the aid OF crutenes. His
agonies were almost unbearnble
and his 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; almost from tho
outset an improvement was noticed. and
in few months the man whom rnedt-
cal experts had said was ineurabIe,
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 recovery in detail, and IL
was thus as before stated, that Mr..
Northrop came into possession of the
information that led TO his equally re-
markhble recovery. One could scarce
~ conceive case more hopeless than
that Of Mr.. NorthropS His injury
came about in this way: One day near
~ four years ago, he stumbled and
fell the complete length OF a steep
flight OF stairs which were at the
rear of his store. Ills 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 eff
forts Of friends and physicians the ter
rible afiliction fastened itself upon
him. For nearly two years he was
perfectly helpless He could 40
nothing to support his strength
in the least effort. lie had To
be wheeled about in an invnlid's
chair. He was weak, pale and fast
sinking when his timely information
came that vcritably snatched his life
from the jaws OF death. Those, who
at that tImo saw q feeble old man
wheeled into his store on an invalid's
chair, would not recognized 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 Loclsport, he procured sup
ply Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills Though
Messrs. Bassett Sc L'Hommedieu, o5
Woodward avenue, and from the out
SGT found an improvement He faith
fully adhered to the use Of tho remedy
until now he Is completely restored.
MIR. 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
