IL unable to follow their usual avocation, but
the total disability is q comparatively large
sum, only paid member who is disabled for
lie, and declared by medical men to be entirely
past all hope Of recovery. In Mr.. Marshalrs
case there was some difficulty it is true; he was
examined upon number OF occasions, GOV.
ering a period Of upward Of two years. The
medical men who examined him all agreed
that there was little hope Of recovery, but
they would 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.. Mar
shall the total disability beneft of one thousand
dollars. He was paid by check on the Bank
ofMontreal. There is no doubt whatever about
the remarkable character of Mr.. Marshalrs
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 recovery. His cure is looked upon
rs next to a miracle. / have conversed with
him number of times about it, and he gives
the whole credit to DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and the application Of cold water which is
the proprietors of the medicine. He drops into
my Office every day or two and is apparently
enjoying good health now"
The general offices of the S.-.oi are IN the old
Bank of Upper Canada building, just opposite
the publishing house. MIR. ]. II. Land, the
Dominion Secretary, was easily found, and in
response to the questions asked simply corrob-
GRATED all that the general manager had said.
Mr. Land is neighbor Of Mr.. Marshall living
within block OF him in the northeastern part
OF the city. He was well acquainted with him
for years before he was taken SICK and pro-
nounced his recovery as one of the most re-
markable things in all his experience.
~ have not much faith in patent nostrums"
said Mr.. Land, " but Mr.. Marshalrs case proves
beyond a doubt that DIR. Williams Pink Pills
are wonderful medicine. He seems TO have
exhausted all other means and methods Of
treatment 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 disclosed
the fact that an extraordinary demand 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, well-known and popular dis
pe1ser of drugs here, told the reporter that he
knew of no patent medicine that had such q
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
hfs notice. Mr.. VIM. Webster, after suffering
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 a similar nature, had taken the
pills. and was able to walk out greatly i'm.
proved in health. Another case Mr.. Barr
vouched for was q city patient, who had 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 q scientific prepa-
ration successfully used in general practice for
many years before being offered to the public
generally. They contain in a condensed form
oil 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 ataHia, partial paralysis,
st. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, nervous headache, the after effects of lie
grippe, palpitation Of the heart pale and sal
low compilations, that tired feeling resulting
from nervous prostration; all diseases de-
pending upon vitiated humors in the blood,
such as scro:ula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppressions, irregularities,
and all forms of weakness. They build up the
blood and restore the glow of health to pale
or sGliow 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 by the DR.. VIII.
liams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, NY.
and Rockville, Ontario, and are sold in boxes
never in loose form by the dozen or hundred)
at 20 cents box, or six boxes for $50, and
may be had of all druggists or direct by mail
from DR.. Williams Medicine Company, from
either address. The price at which these pills
are sold makes a course OF treatment COM
paratively inexpensive as compared with
other remedies or medical treatment
