was thrown into the house, but it
was placed aside and no notice was
taken of it for weeks. One day the
sick man reread the circular and con
cluded to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills although Mrs. Marshall tried
| hard to dissaude him, saying they
would be as Intellectual as all the 9TH
ers; but on April IA memorable day
to him-Mr. Marshall began to take
he pills, one after each meal for a
tart. In few days a change was
| loticed and as he continued to take
he pills he gradually improved and
J n a little over month he was able
o take the train for Toronto and Wis
an astonished brother-in-law.
Now he can walk four or five miles
with any of his friends.
The Globe representative paid a
visit to the house of the man thus res
cued from living death. When the
reporters mission was explained, Mr..
MarshalPs face lighted up with a
smile, which caused responsive one
to rise upon the features of his wife,
and he expressed his perfect willing
ness to tell all that was asked of him.
"Why, feel better man now than
did ten years ago" said he cheer
fully. cts four years next August

bout my illness? 1t was all caused

l kept getting worse until couldn't
get off a chair without a stick or
crutches. The lower part of my body
and legs were useless. tried every
doctor and every patent medicine,
spending hundreds of dollars. Every
thing that was likely to help me l got,
but might as well have thrown it
in the bay. l suppose my wife has
shown you the apparatus l used at
one time or another. A dozen city
doctors gave me up. l got enough
electric shocks for half dozen men,
but they did me no good. l lost con-
troll of my bowels and water and
couldn't sleep without morphine.
During the day my legs Were cold

in blanket, suffering intense agony
from nervous pains in the legs, neck
and head. Yes, received from the
Royal Templars $1,000 check, being
declared totally unable to follow my
employment. One day in April took
a notion to try DIR. Williams Pink
Pills, carefully following the direc-
tons accompanying each box. l re-
covered my appetite and regained
control of my bowels and water, and
went on getting better and stronger
and now you see me stronger and
more healthy than l was for years be-

feeling firit-class," and Mr.. Marshall
slapped his legs vigorously and gave
the lower part of his back good
humping, afterwards going up and
down the room at lively gait.
VI weigh 100 pounds to-day" he con-
tinued, land I've gaindd 30 pounds
since l first took DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, l haven't such a thing as pain
or ache about me, and another thing,

the light"
Mr.. Marshall offered to make an atfi-
davit to the truth of the above story,
but the reporter considered that
wholly unnecessary. He carried con-
viction to the inquirer's mind by
every word and action, and there
was no gainsaying the tact that the
cure was one of the most marvellous
in the nineteenth century. All the
neighbors bore testimony to the gent
ineness of the cure. None of them
ever expected to see MIR. Marshall on
his feet again and regarded his res
toration to health as nothing short OF
marvellous.
The headquarters of the Royal
Templars of Temperance for Canada
are in Hamilton. AT the publishing
house of the order Mr.. w. w, Blu
chanan, general manager and one of
the most prominent temperance advo-
Gates of the Dominion, was found.
In response to the reporters ques-
ton, he said: "Oh, yes, am well ac-
quainted with Mr.. John Marshall.
He has been member of one of the
councils of this city for about seven
years. He is a well-known citizen
and a reliable temperance man.
About four years ago he was first
taken seriously ill and his case
brought before the order. The pro-
visions under which the total dis
ability claim is pals in our organiza-
ton are very strict. The weekly
sick benefit is payable to any person
under the doctors care, who is I'M
able to follow their usual avocation,
but the total disability is compare
lively large sum, only paid a member
who IS disabled for life, and declared
by medical men to be entirely past
all hope of recovery. In Mr.. Mar
shalPs case there was some difficulty,
it is r lie; he was examined upon a
number of occasions, covering peri
cd of upward of two yearsl The med
ical men who examined him all
agreed that there was little hope of
recovery, but they would not give
the definite declaration that our law
demands-tha the claimant was
permanently and totally disabled
Until last November. When this dec
laration by two regular physicians
was made and our Dominion Medical
referee, we paid Mr.. Marshall the
total disability benefit of one thou
sand dollars. He was paid by a check
on the Bank of Montreal. There is
no doubt whatever about the remark
able character of Mr.. Marshall's cure.
A large number of our members in
this city Were intimately acquainted
with Mr.. Marshall and called upon
him frequently. All We're unani-
