able achievement of medical diScOv-
cry. which has already won great and
enduring fame. The story is told by
the News as follows:
The following paragraph, which ap-
peared in the News a short time ago.
furnished the basis of this information
"a case that was so wonderfully re-
markable that it demanded further ex-
PLANTATION. 1t is of sufficient impor-
tance 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 para
graph in question:
&c. B. Northrop, for % years one of
the best known merchants on wood
ward avenue, who was supposed to be
dying last spring of lOcOmOtOr ataxia, or
creeping paralysis. has secured new
lease of life and returned to work at his
store. The disease has always been
supposed to be incurable, but Mr..
Northrop's condition is greatly i'm
proved, and it looks now as ii the grave
would be cheated Of its prey"
Since that time Mr.. NOrthrup has
steadily improved, not only in looks.
but in condition, till lie has regalned
his old time strength.
1t had been hinted to the writer of
this article, VINO was acquainted with
Mr.. Northrop, 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 fully verified the
statement, and not only SO, but he had
taken pains to inform any one who was
suffering in similar manner when ne
heard of any such case. Mr.. NoIthrop
was enthusiastic at the result in his own
case of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. 1t was
remedy that he had heard of after he
had tried everything he could hope 10
give him relief. He had been i'll the
care of the best physicians. who did all
they could TO alleviate this terrible NAL
ad. ,bu; without any avail. Hehad given
up no ,e, when a friend i'll lockport, n.
J w ,ote him of the case of person
lher who had been cured in similar
ire instances by DR.. Williams Pink
Pill for Pale People. The person cured
at Lockport had obtained his informa-
i)l respecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills
from an article published in the Hamil-
ton, Ont. Times. The case was called
1.-The Hamilton Miracle" and told
the story of a man in that city,
who, after almost incre dlDle Suf-
ferlng, was pronounced by the
most eminent physicians to be lncuraDle
and permanently disabled. He had spent
hundreds of dollgrs in all sorts OF treat
ment and appliances only to be told In
the emu that there was no hope for him.
and that cure was impossible. The per-
SON alluded to mir. John Marshall, of
25 Little William ST., Hamilton, Ont.,)
was member of the Royal Templars of
Temperance, and after having been pro-
nounced permanently disabled and in
durable by the physicians, was paid the
$1,000 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
himself around his house with the aid
of crutcheS. His agonieS were almost
unbearable, and life was a burden to
him, when at last relief came. Some
months after he had been paid the dis
ability claim he heard of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and was induced to try them.
The result was miraculous: almost from
the outset an improvement was noticed,
and in few months the man whom
medical experts had said was incurable
was going about the city healthier
and stronger than before. Mr.. Mar
shall was so we'll known in Hamilton
that all the city newspapers wrote up his
wonderful recovery in detail. and it was
thus, as before stated, that Mr.. North
rop came into possession of the informa-
ton that led to his equally marvellous
recovery. One could scarcely conceive
case more hopeless than that of Mr..
NOrthrOp. His injury came about IN
this way: One day, nearly four years
ago, he stumbled and fell the complete
length of steep flight of stairs which
were at the rear of his store. His head
and spine were severely injured. He
was picked up and taken to his home.
Creeping paralysis very soon developed
itself,and in spite of the most strenuous
efforts of friends end physicians the
terrible affiction fastened itself upon
him. For nearly two years he was per-
fectly helpless. He could do nothing to
support his strength in the least effort.
He had to be wheeled about in an in
valid's chair. He was weak, pale and
fast sinking when this timely infor-
nation came that veritaUly snatched
his life from the jaws of death.
Those who at that time saw
a feeble old man wheeled into
his store on an invalid's chair, would not
recognize the man now, so great is the
change that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have wrought. When Mr. Northrop
learned of the remedy that had cured Mr..
Marshall in Hamilton, and the
person in LOckport, he procured sup
ply of Dr. Williams Pink Pills through
Messrs. Bassett q L'Hommedieu, 95
Woodward avenue. and from the outset
found an improvement. He faithfully
adhered to the use of the remedy until
now he is completely restored. Mr..
NOrthrop declares that there can be no
doubt as to Pink Pills being the
cause as to his restoration to health, as
all other remedies aud medical treat
ment left him in condition rapidly 60
ing from bad to worse, until at last it
was declared there was no hope for him
and he was pronounced incurable. He
was in this terrible condition when he
began to use DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
and they have restored him to health.
Mr.. Northrop was asked what was
claimed for this wonderful remedy, and
replied that he understood the propri-
etOrs claim it 10 be blood builder and
nerve reStorer, supplying in a condensed
form all the elements necessary to en-
rich the blood, restore shattered nerves
and drive out disease. 1t is claimed by
the proprietors that Pink Pills will cure
paralysis. rheumatism, Sciatica, palpita-
tion of the heart, headache, and all dis.
eases peculiar to females, loss OF appe
tite, dizziness. sleepleSsneSS, loss of
memory, and all diseases arising from
overwork, mental worry, loss OF vital
force, etc.
81 want to say" SAID Mr.. Northrop,
"that don't have much faith in patent
medicines, but l cannot say too much
in praise of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
The prOpriotors, however, claim that
they are not patent medicine i'll the
sense in which that term is used, but a
highly scientific preparation, the result
of years of careful study and expert.
ment on the part of the proprietors, and
the pills were successfully used in pri-
vate practice for years before being
placed for general sale. Mr.. Northrop
declares that he is a living example that
there is nothing to equal these pills as
cure for nerve diseases. On inquiry the
writer found that these pills were manu-
factured by DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y, and Brockvilles
Ont, and the pills are sold in boxe0

cents a box. and may be had Of al.
