Mr.. Marshall offered to make an aft

! but the reporter considered that wholly
unnecessary. He carried conviction t.

| action, and there was no gainsaying the
| fact that the cure was one OF the most
! marvellous in the nineteenth century.
! All the neighbors bore testimony to the
genuineneSS of the cure. None OF them
ever expected to see Mr.. Marshall on

The headquarters of the Royal Tenn
par, OF Temperance for Canada are In
hamilton. At the publishing house Of
the order Mir. w. w. Buchanan, gen
eral manager and one OF the most prom
inent temperance advocates of the Do
minion, was found. In response TO the
reporters question, he said: 'Oh, yes,
| am well acquainted 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
aud reliable temperance man. About
four years ago he was first taken serl-
ouSlv i'll and his case was brought before
the order. The provisions under which
the total disability claim is paid in our
organization are very strict. The
weekly sick benefit is payable
to any person under the doc
tors care who is unable to follow
their usual avocation, but the total dis
ability is comparatively large sum,
only paid member who is disabled for
life, and declared by medical men to be
entirely past all hope of recovery. In
Mr. Marshalls case there was some
difficulty, it is true; he was examined
upon number of occasions, covering q
period of upward of two years. The
medical men who examined him all
covery, but they would not give the
definite declaration that our law de-
mauds-that the claimant was perma-
nently and totally disabed-until last
November. When this declaration by
two regular physicians was made and
our Dominion Medical referee, we
paid Mr.. Marshall the total dis
ability benefit of one thousand
dollars. He was paid by a check
on the Bank of Montreal. There is no
doubt whatever about the remarkable
character of Mr.. MarShalPs cure. A
large number of our members In this
city were intimately acquainted with
Mr.. Marshall and called upon him fire.

belief that he was past all hope of re-
covery. His cure is looked upon as
next to a miracle. | have cOnverSed
with him a number of times about it..
and he gives the whole credit to DR..
Williams Pink Pills and the application
of cold water, which is recommended as
subsidiary treatment by the prOprietor5
of the medicine. He drops into my
Office every day or two and is apparently
enjoying good health now"
The general offices OF the order are in
the old Bank of Upper Canada building,
Just opposite the publishing house. Mr..
j. II. Land. the Dominion Secretary, was
easily found. and in response to the
questions asked simply corroborated all
that the general manager had said. Mr..
Land is neighbor of Mr.. Marshall, liy-
ing within a block of him in the north
eastern part of the city. He was well
acquainted with him for years before he
was taken sick, and pronounced his re-
covery as one of the most remarkable
things in all his eXperiesce.
II have not much faith in patent nos
trums," said Mr.. Land, "but Mr.. Mar
shall'S case proves beyond doubt that
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are a wonder
full medicine. He seems TO have eX-
hausted all other means and methods OF
treatment during his long illness and all
without any benefit, but his recovery
was rapid and wonderful Immediately
after he commenced sing DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills"
Inquiries among the city druggists
disclosed the fact that an extraordinary
demand, had arisen for DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, and that the claims made for
them by the prOprietors are borne out
by numerous cures.
John A. Barr, well known and pop
ular dispenser Of drugs here, told the
reporter that he kne " of no patent med
icine that had such a demand upon it,,
or one that had done all that was prom
ised for it. He told of several cases OF
under his notice. Mr.. VIM. Webster,
after suffering from ataxy for years,
from the first had found certain relief
from taking the pills, and he is now a
new man. Mr.. George Lees, after years
of illness of similar nature, had taken
the pills, and was able TO walk out
greatly improved in health. Another
case MIR. Barr vOuched for WAS city
patient, who had been cured by the pills
of the effects of la grippe. after having
been given up by the doctors. Many
others had spoken highly of the Pink
Pills as fine remedy for nervous and
blood disorders. Other druggists told
the same story.
A further investigation revealed the
| fact that DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
not a patent medicine in the sense in
which that term is usually understood,
| but are scientific preparation success
fully used in general practice for many
years before being offered to the public
generally. They contain in a con.
densed form all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves
