Careful Perusal.
DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 81, 1894
case has just come to light here, the
particulars of which are published in
the EDeni1g NeaUs, which will be read
with considerable interest, as it re-
cords the remarkable achievement of
a medical discovery, which has al
ready won great and enduring fame.
The story is told by the NeaCS as fol-
lows
The following paragraph which ap-
peared in the Nea0S short time ago,
furnished the basis of this infOrma-
tion-a case that was so wonderfully
remarkable that it demanded further
explanation. 1t is of sufficient i'm
portance to the Neacs' readers to re-
port it to them fully. 1t was so i'm
portant then that it attracted con-
siderable attention at the time. The
| following is the paragraph in QueS-
| tion:-
&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 a
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 has greatly
| improved, and it looks now as il the
grave would be cheated of it's prey"
Since that time Mr.. NOrthrOp has
steadily improved, not only in looks,
but in condition, till he has regained
his old time strength.
| 1t has been limited to the writer of
this article, who was acquainted with
Mr.. Northrop, that this miraculous
charge had been wrought by very
simple remedy called DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. When
asked about it Mr.. Northrop fully YER
i fed the tatement, and not only so,
but he had taken pains to inform any
one who was suffering in a similar
manner when he heard of any such
case. Mr. NorthrOp was enthusiastic
at the result in his own case of DR..
Williams Pink Pills. 1t was a rem
edy that he had heard of after he had
tried everything he could hope togive
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
had given up hope, 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 People.
The person cured at Lockhort had OBJ
tanned his information respecting DR..
Williams Pink Pills from an article
published 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 pro-
bounced by the most eminent physi-
clans to be incurable and permanent
ly disabled. He had spent hundreds
of dollars in all sorts of treatment and
appliances only to be told in the end
that there was no hope for him, and
that cure was impossible. The person
alluded to (Mr. Johh Marshal, of 25
Little William St., Hamilton, Ont.) },
was member of the Royal Templars
of Temperance, and after having been
pronounced permanently disabled and
incurable by the physicians, was paid
the ST 900 insurance disability prOvid-
ed by the order for it's members in
such cases. For years Mr. Marshall
had been utterly helpless, and he was
barely ably 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
miraculous; almost from the outset an
improvement was noticed, and in a
few months the man whom medical
experts had said was incurable,
was going about the city health
Ter and stronger than before. Mr..
Marshall was so we'll known in Ham
ilton that all the city newspapers
wrote up his wonderful recovery in de-
tail, and it was thus as before stated,
that Mr.. NOrthrOp came into posses
sion of the information that led to
his equally marvellous discovery. One
could scarcely conceive a 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. He was pick
ed up and taken to his home. Creep
ing paralysis very soon developed it.
self and in spite of the most strenuous
efforts of friends and physicians the
terrible affection fastened itself upon
him. For nearly two years he was
perfectly helpless. He could do moth
| ing to support his strength in the
least effort. He had to be wheeled
about in an inyalid's chair. He was
