which are published in the EUeniny NelcS
which will be read with considerable in
terest, as 1t records the remarkable achieve
ment of a medical discovery, which has
already won great and enduring fame.
The story is told by the Ne,rs as follows:
The following paragraph, which APP
peared in the NesDS q short time ago, fur
ilished the basis of this international
case that was so wonderfully remarkable
that it demanded further explanation. 1t
is of sufficient Importance to the News
readers to report it to them fully. II was
so important then that 1t attracted con-
siderable attention at the time. The fol-
lowing is the paragraph in question:
&c. b. Northrop, for % years one of the
best known merchants on Woodward
avenue, who was supposed to be dying last
spring of locomotor ataxia, or creeping
paralysis has secured a new lease of life
and returned to work at his store, The
disease has always been supposed to he in
durable, but Mr.. Northrop's condition has
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 condi-
ton, till he has regsined his o!d-time
strength.
| 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 Dir, Williams Pink Pills for Pale
| People. When asked about ii Mr.. Nor
throp fully verified tine statement, and not
only so, but he had taken pains to inform
|
| manner when he heard of any such case.
| Mr. NorthrOp was enthusiastic at the re-
salt in his own case of. DIR. Williams
| Pink Pills. 1t was u 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 alleviate this
terrible malady, but without any avail.
| He Ind given up hope, when friend in
| Luckport, \. V, 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 Lockport had obtained his in
| formation respecting DIR. Williams Pink
Fills from All article published in the
Hamilton, Ont, Times. The case was cal ed

story Of u man in that city who, after al
most incredible suffering, was pronounced
by the most eminent physicians to be incur

treatment and appliances only to be told
in the end that there was no hope for him,
and that cure was impossible. The person

William street, Hamilton, Onto, was a
member of the Royal Templars Of Temper
anCe, and after having been pronounced
permanently disabled and ingurable by
the physicians, was paid the 81 OOU insur-
ance disability provided by the order for
its members in such eases. For years MIR.
Marshall had been utterly helpless, and lie
was barely able to drag himself around
the house with the aid Of crutcEes His
agOuies were almost unbearaDle and life
was burden to him, when at last relief
came. Some months after he had been
paid the disability claim he heard of Dr.
Williams Pink Pills and was induced tC
try them. The result was miraculous
almost from the outset an improvement
was noticed and in few months the mar
