Mr. Marshall offered to make an affi-
davit to the truth OF the above story,
but the reporter considered that wholly
unnecessary. He carried conviction to
the inquirer's mind by every word aud
action. and there was no gainsaying the
marvellous in the nineteenth century.
All the neighbors bore testimony to the
genuineness OF the cure. None Of them
ever expected to see MIR. Marshall on
his feet again, and regarded his restarn.
ton to health as nothing short OF Ill.,
velous.
The headquarters OF the Royal Tenn.
plars OF Temperance for Canada are in
Hamilton. At the publishing house OF
the order Mr.. W. W. Buchanan, general
manager and one OF the most promi-
nent temperance advocates Of the Do
minion, was found. In response TO the
reporters question. he said; ooh, yes,
am we'll acquainted with Mr.. John
Marshall, He has been member Of
one OF the councils OF this city for about
seven years. lie is, well-known citi-
zen and reliable....tenlperance man.
About four years ago he was first taken
seriously i'll and his case was brought
before the order. The provisions un-
der which the total disability claim Ia
paid in our organization are very strict.
The weekly sick benefit is payable to
any person under the doctors care,
who Is unable to follow their usual avo.
cation, but tho total disability is a
comparatively largo sum, only paid
member who Is disabled for life,
and declared by medical mon to be
entirely past all hope Of recovery. In
Mr.. Marshall's case there was some
difficulty it is true; he was exam
ined upon a number OF occasions, COW
ering a period Of upward Of two years.
Tho medical men who examined him
all agreed that there was little hope OF
recovery, but they would not give the
definite declaration that our law dc.
mands--that the claimant was perma-
nently aud totally disabled-until last
November. When this declaration by
two regular physicians was made and
our Dominion Medical referee, we paid
Mr.. Marehall the total disability bene-
fit OF one thousand dollars He was
paid by check on the Bank Of Mont
real. There ia no doubt whatever about
tho remarkable character OF Mr.. Mar.
shall's cure. A large number OF our
members in this city were intimately
acquainted with Mr.. Marshall and
called upon him frequently. All were
unanimous in the belief that he was
past all hope OF recovery. Ills cure Is
looked upon as next to n miracle. l
have conversed with him q number OF
times about It, and he gives the whole
credit to DR.. Williams Pink Pills and
tho application Of cold water which Is
recommended as q subsidiary treat
ment by tho proprietors OF the medi-
cine. Ilc drops into my office every
