Worth Careful Perusal.
Detroit, Mich, Feb. 10th, ls93.--A
case has Just come to light here, the par
ticulars of which are published in the
Evening News, which will be read with
considerable interest, as it records the re-
markable achievement of medical dis
covery, which has already won great and
enduring fame. The story is told by the
News as follows
The following paragraph, which APP
peared in the News short time ago, fur
nished the basis of this information-a
case that was so wonderfully remarkable
that 1t demanded further explanation. 1t
is of sufficient Importance to the News
readers to report it to them fully. 1t was
so important then that 1t attracted con-
siderable attention at the time. The fol-
lowing is the paragraph in question -
&c. P. Northrop, for 2s years one of
the best known merchants on Woodward
avenue, who was supposed to be dying
last spring of locomotor ataxia, or Creep
ing paralysis, has secured new lease of
life and returned to his work at his store.
The disease has always been supposed to
be incurable, but Mr.. Norlhrop's condi-
ton 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 condition, till he has gained his old
time strength.
1t has been limited to the writer of this
article, who was acquainted with Mr..
Northrop, that this miraculous change
has been wrought by very simple rene
dy called DR.. Williams, Pink Pills for
Pale People. When asked about it Mr..
Northrop fully verified the statement,
and not only so, but he has taken pains
to inform any one who was suffering in a
similar manner when he heard of any
such case. Mr.. Northrop was enthusiasts
tic 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 to give him re-
lief. He had been in the care of the best
physicians who did all they could to allie
viate this terrible malady, but without
any avail. He had given up hopes, when
friend in Lockport, N. Y, wrote him
of the case OF person there who had
been cured in similar circumstances by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. The person cured at Lockport had
obtained his information respecting DR..
Williams Pink Pills from an article pub
lished in the Hamilton, Ont, Times. The
case was called The Hamilton Miracle"
and told the story of man in that city
who, after almost incredible suffering,
was pronounced by the most eminent
physician to be incurable and permanent
ly disabled. He had spent hundreds Of
dollars in all sorts of treatment and ap-
planes only to be told in the end that
there was no hopes for him, and that
cure was impossible. The person alluded
to (Mr. John Marshall, of 25 Little
William ST., Hamilton, Ont.) was men,
Der of the ROYAL Templsrs OF Temper
ance, and after having been pronounced
permanently disabled and incurable by
the physicians, was paid the 81 900 insur-
ance disability provided by the order for
its members in such cases. For years Mr.
Marshall had been utterly helpless, and
he was barely able to drag himself around
the house with the aid of crutches. His
agonies were almost unbearable 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 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.
Marshall was so well known in Hamilton
that all the city news papers wrote up
his wonderful recovery in detail, and it
was thus as before stated, that Mr.
Northrop came into possession of the in
formation that led to his equally marvel
Gus recovery. One could scarcely con-
ceive 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 a 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. Creep
ing paralysis very soon developed itself,
and in spite of the most strenuous efforts
of friends and physicians the terrible af-
Fiction fastened itself upon him. For
nearly two years he was perfectly help
less He could do nothing to support his
strength in the least effort. He had to be
wheeled about in an invalid's chair. He
was weak, pale and fast sinking when
this timely information came that verita-
bly, snatched his life from the jaws of
death. Those, who at that time saw a
feeble old man wheeled into his store on
an invaiid's chair, would not recognize
the man now, so great is tie change that
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have wrought.
When Mr.. Northrop learned of the rem
edy that had cured Mr.. Hamilton, and
the person in Lockport, he procured a
supply of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
through Messrs. Bassett L'Hommedeu,
95 Woodward avenue, and from the out
set found an Improvement. He faith
fully adhered to the use of the remedy
until he is completely restored Mr..
Northrop declares that there can be no
doubt as to Pink Pills being the cause of
his restoration to health, as all other
remedies and medical treatment left him
IN condition rapidly going from bad to
worse, until at last it was declared there
was no hopes for him and he was pro-
