THE MIRACLE CITY.
A New Name Suggested for Hamilton.
Another Remarkable Case Which Would
Indicate that the Name Would be Quite
Appropriate.

ment throughout the country. To those who
know the inside facts there is not the least
for wonderment- The remarkable cure from
locomotor ataxia of Mr.. John Marshall. who
was known to almost every citizen In Hamil-
ton, gave the Pink Pills an enormous sale In
the city, one retail druggist alone selling 2.sso
boxes in the past six months. People whose
cases had been considered hopeless as was Mr..
Marshalrs, took hope from his cure, persisted
in the use of the pills, with equally wonderful
results In their case. And what is happening
I'm Hamilton I'm the way of remarkable cures, is
happening in all parts OF the Dominion. and
every day adds to the pile of grateful testimon-
ials which the proprietors of Dr. Williams Pink
Pills are receiving. Last week the Hdpniltoa
Times Investigated two more cases, the result
ofwhich is told in the following article:
Among the many citizens who profited by
Mr. Marshalrs experience and who have been
troubled for many years with the same afflic-
ton was Mr.. William Webster. For a long
time he was in the -four and feed business In
the Market Square, and for over ten years while
in his Office he was compelled to remain in a re-
clining position on couch, covered with heavy
buffalo robes winter and summer. He attrib-
utes his trouble TO constant exposure at the
open door of his store, carrying heavy bags OF
grain ip and out, and when over-heated and
perspiring sitting over an open cellar-way In
order to cool of.
Mr.. Webster was seen by o Times reporter at
his residence, Macnab street north, Saturday
afternoon, and was not at all loath to speak
about his case. with the exception of this

About June, however, I got some of DIR. Will

The other day Mrs. Martin. of Ferguson Ave
nue., Hamilton, Ont, called at Mr.. John A.
Bars drug establishment and asked for a box
of Pink Pills. She had little girl with her in
a perambulator, and while the mother was In
the store the child climbed out over the side of
the carriage. The mother laughed over the In
cident and remarked: "1fit were not for Pink
Pills my baby would never have been able TO do
that To those in the drug store Mrs. Martin
narrated the wonderful cure which had been
affected by Pink Pills in the cure OF her infant
When about year old the baby became para
! lyzed, and the anxious parents consulted the
best doctors in the city, but their treatment
was of no avail The little one was not able TO
move hand or foot, and for a time the case was
considered a hopeless one. Mrs. Martin pro-
cured box of Pink Pills and before the young
ster had taken all it contained, the paralysis
disappeared and the little ones appetite re-
turned. The parents hearts were delighted
with the result 1t was while buying the second
box that the child scrambled out of the carriage
on to the sidewalk. The mother told Mr.. Barr
that the paralysis had resulted from teething.
A representative of the Times who investigated
the case discovered that the little giri II now
