which will be read with considerable interest.
as it records the remarkable achievement of a
medical discovery, which has already won great
and enduring fame. The story is told By the
Nescs as follows =
The following paragraph, which appeared in
the Nears a short time ago, furnished the basis
of this information-a case that was so wonder
fully remarkable that it demanded further ex-
PLANTATION. 1t is of sufficient importance 10 the
Neus' readers to report 1t to them fully. 1t was
80 important then that it attracted considerable
attention at the time. The following is the par
agraph in question -
&c. B. Northrop, for % years one Of the best
known merchants on Woodward Avenue, who
was supposed TO be dying last spring of locomo-
tor ata1ia, or creeping paralysis, has secured a
new lease of life and returned to work at his
store. The disease has always been supposedly
be incurabe, but Mr.. Northrop's condition has
greatly improved, and it looks now as if the
grave would be cheated of its prey"
Since that time Mr.. Northrop has steadily i'm
proved, not only in looks, but in condition, till
he has rcgained his old-time strength.
1t had been limited to the writer of this article,
who acquainted with Mr.. Northrop that
this miraculous change had been wrought by a
very simple remedy called DIR. 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 10 inform
any one who was suffering in a similar manner
when he heard of any such case. Mr.. Nor
throp was enthusiastic at the result in his own
case Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. 1t was
remedy that he had heard of after he had tried
everything be could hope to give him relief He
had been in the care of the best physicians who
did all they could 10 alleviate this terrible
malady, but without any avail. He had given
up hope, when a friend in Lockport, \. Y,
wrote him of the case of person there who had
been cured in similar circumstances by DIR.
D,,zt- IL. Co. Dali
son cured at Lockport had obtained his infor-
nation respecting DIR. Williams Pink Pills from
an article published in the Hamilton Ont,
Times. The case was called 1.-THE Hamilton
Miracle" and told the story of man in that
city who, after almost incredible suffering, was
pronounced by the most emineat physicians to
be incurable and permanently 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 John Marshall of 25 Little William St,
Hamilton, Ont was member of the Royal
Templars of Temperance, and after having been
pronounced permanently disabled and incur
able by the physicians, was paid the 81 900 in.
surance 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 unbear-
able 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.. Will
1iams 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 incurabe, was going sbout the
city healthier and stronger than before. Mr..
Marshall was so well known in Hamilton that
oil the city newspapers wrote up his wonderful
recovery in detail, and it was thus Us before
stated, that Mr.. Northrop came into possession
OF the information that led to his equally mar
Vicious recovery. One could scarcely conceive
a case more hopeless than that of Mr.. North
rep His injury came about in this way: One
day nearly four years ago, he stumbled and fell
the complete length of a steep fight 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 and physicians
the terrible affection fastened itself upon him.
For nearly two years he was perfectly helpless.
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 veritably snatched his life from the jaws of
death. Those, who at that time a feeble
old man wheeled into his store on an invalids
chair, would n5t recognize the man now, so
great Is the Cuangc DF. w flnh
Pills have wrought. When Mr.. Northrop
learned of the remedy that had cured Mr.. Mar.
shall in Hamilton, and the person in Lockport,
he procured a supply of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills through Messrs. Bassett L. L'Hommedieu,
80 Woodward avenue, and from the outset
found an improvement. He faithfully ad-
bered 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 of his restoration TO health as
all other remedies and medical treatment left
him in a condition rapidly going 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 DIR. 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 proprietors claim it to be blood
builder and nerve restorer, supplying in a con.
densed form all the elements necessary to en-
rich the blood, restore the shattered nerves and
drive out disease. 1t is claimed by the propne-
tors that Pink Pills will cure paralysis, rheu-
matism, sciatica, palpitation of the heart,
headache, and all diseases peculiar to females,
loss of appetite, dizziness, sleepessness loss of
memory, and all diseases arising from over
work, mental worry, loss of vital force, etc.
II want to say" said Mr.. Northrop, that
don't have much faith in patent medicines, but
] cannot say too much in praise of Dr. vii.
iams Pink Pills." The proprietors, however.
claim that they are not a patent medicine in
the sense in which that term is used, but high.
ly scientific preparation, the result of years Of
careful study and experiment on the part of the
proprietors, and the pills were successfully used
in private 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 a cure for nerve diseases.
On inquiry the writer found that these pills
were manufactured by DR.. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, MY, and Brockville Ont.
and the pills are sold in boxes (never in bulk
by the huudred) ut so cents box, and may be
had Of all druggists or direct by mail from DR..
Williams Medicine Co., from either of the above
addresses. The price at which these pills are
sold makes q course of treatment with them
comparatively inexpensive as compared with
other remedies or medical treatment. This
case Is one Of the most remarkable on record,
and as it is one right here in Detroit, and not
thousand miles away, it can be easily verified.
Mr.. Northrop Is very well known to the people
in Detroit, and he says he is only too glad to
testify Of the marvellous good wrought in his
case. BE says he considers it his duty to help
all who are similarly afflicted. by any word he
can say in behalf Of the wonderful efficacy Of
Dr.. Williams Pinx Pills. If any Of the Ners'
readers want any further information, We feel
snre Mr.. Northrop would willingly oblige
them, q he has the writer in relating shess
