Since that time Mr.. Northrop has

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 Luckport had obtained his in
formation respecting DIR. Williams Pink
Pills from an article pri nted in tho Ham

"The Hamilton Miracle" and told the
story of man in that city who, after
almost incredible suffering, was pro-

to be incurable and permanently dis

been utterly helpless, and no was barely

was lncurable, was going about the city

Marshall was SO we'll known in Hamil-

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 waa per.

support his strength in the least effort.
He had to be wheeled about in an in
