DETROIT MIRACLE.
A GREAT TRIUMPH FOR MEDICAL SCIENCE.
Particulars of One of the Most Remarkab BILE
Cures on Record Described by the
Detroit News-A Story Worth
Careful Perusal.
A DETROIT MIRACLE.

BILE achievement of medical discovery
which has already won great and endur
ing fame. The story is told by the Neao
as follows:
The following paragraph, which ap
| peared in the NesOs a short time ago
furnished the basis of this information
"a case that was so wonderfully remark
able that it demanded further explana
ton: 1t is of sufficient Importance te
the Neaos' readers to report it to them
fully. 1t was so important then that il
attracted considerable attention at the
time. The following is the paragraph in
question:
&c. III. Northrop, for 90 years one OF
the best known merchants on Wood
ward avenue, who was supposed to be
dying last spring of locomotor ataxia, OF
| creeping paralysis, has secured new
lease of life and returned to work at his
store. The disease has always been sup
posed to be incurable, but Mr.. North
and it looks now as if 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 had been limited to the writer of
this article, who 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 state
ment, and not only so, but he had taken
pains to inform any one who was suffers
ing in a similar manner when he heard
of any such case. Mr.. Northrop was en-
thusiastic 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 to give
the best physicians who did all they
could to alleviate this terrible malady,
but without avail. He had given up
all hope, when q friend in Lockport, N.
Y, wrote him of the case of person
there who had been cured in similar cir
cumstances by DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. The person cured at
Lockport had obtained his information
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
a man in that city who, after almost in>
credible suffering, was pronounced by
the most eminent physicians to be incu>
rable 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 impos>
sible. The person alluded to (Mr. John
Marshall, of IS Little Williams ST., Ham
ilton, Ont.), was a member of the Royal
Templars of Temperance, and after hav>
ing been pronounced permanently dis
abled and incurable by the physicians,
was paid the 900 insurance 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
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 a 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 we'll known in Hamilton that all the
city newspapers wrote up his wonderful
recovery in detail, and it was thus as be-
fore stated, that Mr.. Northrop came in>
to possession of the information that led
to his equally marvellous recovery, One
could scarcely conceive case more hope
less than that of Mr.. Northrop. His in
jury came about in this way: One day
nearly four years ago, he stumbled and
fell the complete length of a steep fight
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 physi-
clans the terrible affection fastened it.
self 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 vertically snatch
ed 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
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 procur-
ed supply of DR.. Willinms' Pink Pills
through Messrs. Bassett & L'Homme>
dieu, 95 Woodward avenue, and from
the outset found an improvement. He
faithfully adhered to the use of the rem
edy 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 condition rapidly going from bad to
worse, until at last it was declared there
was no hope for him and he was pro-
nounced incurable. He was in this ter
rible 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 proprie-
tors claim it to be blood builder and
nerve restorer, supplying in condensed
form all the elements necessary to enrich
the blood, restore the shattered nerves
and drive out disease. It is claimed by
the proprietors that Pink Pills will cure
