Detroit Ncws-A Story Worth a
Careful Pcrusal.
DETROIT Mich, Jan. Goth, 1S02.--A case
has just come to light hero, The particulars |
OF which are published in the Evening
News, which will be read with considerable |
interest by all Canadians, rs 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 lustre on
Canadian science The story is told by the
News as follows
The following paragraph, which appeared
IN the News a short time ago, furnished tho
basis of this international case that was
30 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 photographic
question:
sc. b. Northrop, for % years one of the
best known merchants on Woodward av-
enne, who was supposed to be dying last
spring of locomOtor ataxiai 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 incurabie,
but Mr., Northrops condition is greatly inn
proved, and it looks now as If the grave
would be cheated of its prey.n
Since that time Mr.. Northrop has steadily
improved not only in looks, but in cond
ton, till he has rcgained his old time
strength.
1t has bcenhinted 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 Palo
| People, When asked about it Mr. Northrop
| fully verified the staten ent, 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 1t
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 tho
| 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 Lockport, N. Y, wrote him of the
case of 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 inror-
nation respecting Dr. Williams Pink Pills
from an article published in the Hamilton,
Ont, Times, The case was called ''Ihe
Hamilton Miracle and told the story of II
man in that city who, after almost inCrcd-
ible suffering, was pronounced by the most
eminent physicians to be incurabe 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 euro
was impossible. The person alluded to
(Mr John Marshall of % Little William
st, Hamilton, Ont) was member of tho
Royal Templars of Temperance, and after
having been pronounced permanently dis.
abled and ncurable 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 him
self around his house with the aid Of crutch-
es His agonies were almost unbearablo
|
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 a few months tho 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 rccov-
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 Il
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 th9complete length of a steep
, light 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 dc
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
nau 10 be Wheeled about III an invalid
l chair. He was weak, pale and fast sinking
when his timely information came that YER
itably snatched his life from the Jaws oil
, death Those, who at that time saw fee
, bic old man wheeled into his store on an in.
. vallds chair, would not recognize the mar
now, so great is the change that DR.. vii
liams' Pink Pills have wrought. When Mr.
Northrop learned of the remedy that haC
I cured Mr.. Marshall in Hamilton. and the
3 person In Lockport, he procured a supply
OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills through Messrs
Bassett 4 LHommedieu, o. 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 declare.
, that there can be no doubt as to Pink Pill,
= being the cause of his restoration to health
. as all other remedies and medical treatmen
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
l nounccd inourabe He was in this terribl,
: condition when he began to use Dr.. vii
= liams' Pink Pills, and they have restored
: him to health.
Mr. Northrop was asked what was claimed
, for this wonderful remedy, and replic,
: that he understood the proprctors claim
to be blood builder and nerve restorcr
supplying in condensed form all the ele
l ments necessary to enrich the blood, restor
t shattered nerves and drive out disease. !
is claimed by the proprie tors that Pink Pin

p diseases peculiar to females, loss of appe

:. and all diseases arising from overwork

Il want to say said Mr.. Northrop, cha
don't have much faith in patent medicines
r but cannot say too much in praise of DR.
