not give the definite declaration that our
law demands-that the claimant was
permanently and totally disabled-until
last November. When this declaration
by two regular physicians was made and
our Dominion Medical referee, we paid
Mr.. Marshall the total disability benefit
of one Thousand dollars. He was paid
by 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
frequently. All were unanimous in the
belief that he was past all hope of recov-
cry. His cure is looked upon as next to
miracle. have conversed with him
number of times about it, and he gives
the whole credit to DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and the application of cold water
which is recommended as subsidiary
treatment by the proprietors of the med
icine. 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. Ell. 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 a neighbor of Mr.. Marshall, liv-
ing within 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 experience.
Il 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 wonderful
medicine. He seems to have exhausted
all other means and methods of treat
ment during his long illness and all with
out any benefit, but his recovery was
rapid and wonderful Immediately after
he commenced using DR.. Williams Pink
Pills"
Inquiries among the city druggists dis
closed the fact that an extraordinary de-
mand 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, a well-known and popu-
lar dispenser of drugs here, told the re-
porter that he knew of no patent medi-
cine that had such demand upon it, or
one that had done all that was promised
for it. He told of several cases of great
relief and cure that had come under his
notice. Mr.. VIM. Webster. after suffer-
ing from ataxy for years, from the first
had found certain relief from taking the
pills, and he is now 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 Mr.. Barr
vouched for was a city ipatient, who lad
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
patent medicine in the sense in which
that term is usually understood, but are
a scientific preparation successfully
used in general practice for many years
before being offered to the public gem
orally. They contain in condensed
form all the elements necessary to give
new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, st.
Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheu-
matism, nervous headache, the after
effects of la grippe, palpitation of the
heart, pale and sallow compilations, that
tired feeling resulting from nervous
prostrations; all diseases depending up
on vitiated humors in the blood, such as
scrofula, chronic erysipeles, etc. They
are also a specific for troubles peculiar
to females, such as suppressions, ir-
Irregularities, and all forms of weakness.
They build up the blood and restore the
glow of health to pale or sallow cheeks.
In the case of men they effect radical
cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excuses of what
ever nature.
On further inquiry the writer found
that these pills are manufactured bv
the DR.. Williams Medicine Company.
Schenectady, N. Y, and Brockville,
Ontario, and are sold in boxes never in
loose form by the dozen or hundred) at
50 cents box, or six boxes for $2.5O.an
may be had of all druggists or direct by
mail from DR.. Williams Medicine Com
pany, from either address. The price at
which these pills are sold makes course
of treatment comparatively inexpensive
as compared with other remedies or
medical treatment.
