me loiloNIlH paragraph WHICH APP
peared in the Evening News "a short
time ago, furnished the basis OF the
following article. 1t is OF sufficient
Importance to the News readers to
report it to them fully. 1t was so
important then that it attracted CON
siderable attention at the time. The
following is the paragraph 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 locomotor
ataXia, or creeping paralysis, has Sc
cured new lease Of life and
returned to work at his store. This
disease has always been supposed to
be incurable, but Mr. NOrthrop's con-
dition is greatly improved, and it
looks now as if the grave would be
cheated of its prey
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 we're
at the rear of of his store. His head
and spine were severely injured. He
was picked UP and taken to his home.
Creeping paralysis very soon develop
ed itself, and inspite of the most
strenuous efforts of friends and ply
sicians 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. 1t had been limited to the
writer of this article, who
was acquainted with Mr.. Nor
throp, that his recovery had been
brought about by very simple rem
edy. When asked about it Mr. Nor
throp fully verified the statement. 1t
was remedy that he had heard of
after he had tried everything he could
to give him relief, He had been in
the care of the best physicians, who
did all they could to alleviate this
malady, but without any avail. He
had given up hope, when a friend in
Lockport, n. Y, wrote him, calling
his attention to the case of a person
there who had been cured of disease
similar to his own, and to the case of
John Marshall of Hamilton, Ont, also
cured by DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. Marshall was so well known that
an account of his cure and recovery
was published in detail by all
the city papers. One could scarcely
conceive a case more hopeless than
that of Mr.. Northrop. Those, who at
that time saw feeble old man
wheeled into his store on an invalid s
chair, would not recognize the man
now, so great is the change that has
been wrought, He procured supply
, of DR.. Williams Pink Pills through
Messrs. Bassett e. L'Hommedieu, 90
, Woodward avenue, and from the out
set found an improvement, He faith
rully adhered 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.

ical treatment left him in a
condition rapidly going from bad
