The following paragraph, which appeared
In the Nows a short time ego, furnished the |

question;
&C. b. Northrop, for 2S years one of the
best known merchants on Woodward ave-
nue., who was supposed to be dying last
spring of ocomotor ataxia, or creeping par
| slysis has secured new lease of life and
returned to work at hiI store. The disease
has always been supposed 10 be incurable,
but Mr. Northrop's condition has greatly
improved and it looks now as IL the grave
would be chsated Of its PROV"
Since that time DIR. Northrop has stead

1t had been limited to the writer OF this
! article, who was acquainted with Mr.. Nor
throp, 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
| fuSy verified the statement, and not only
GO, but he had taken pains to inform any
one who was suffering in q similar manner
when he heard OF any such case. Dir. Nor
ihrop was enthusiastic at the result in his
cwn case Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. 1t
va, remedy that he had heard OF after
la had trisd everything he could hops to
give him relief. He had been in the care of
| tho best physicians who did all they could
to alleviate this terrible malady, but with
out any avail. lie had given up hope,
when q friend in Lockport, N, Y, wrote
him of the case OF person there who had
been cured in similar circumstances by DR..

person cured at Lockport had obtained his
in ormaton respecting DR.. Williams Pink
Pills from an article published in the Ham
ilton, Ont, Tines. The case was called
"Ihe Hamilton Miracle" and told tho
story Of n man in that city who, after almost
incredible suffering, was pronounced by the
most eminent physicians to be inourabls
and permanently disabled. He had spent
hundreds Of dollars in all sorts OF treatment
and appliances only to be told In tho end
that there was no hope for him, and that
cure was impossible. The person alluded
to air. John Marshall OF 20 Little William
street, Hamilton Ont, was ssnembor of

after having been pronounced permanently
disabled and incurhb.e by the physicians,
was paid the $1,000 insurance disability pro-
vided by the order for its members in such
cases. For years Mr. Marshall had been
utterly helpless, aud he barely able to
drag himself around the house with the aid
OF crutches. His agonies were almost un-
bearable and hfe was a burden to him,
whea at last relief came. Some months
after he had boon paid the disability cain
he heard OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills and
was induced TO try them. The result was
miraculous; almost from the outset an i'm
provement was noticed, and in a few months
the man whom medical experts had said
; was incurable, was goii 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 it was

came INTO possession of the Information tn At
