important then that it attracted con

following is the paragl aph in question.
&C. b. Northrop. for IS wears on.
of the best known merchants y.
Woodward avenue, who was sunnosoa
10 be dying last spring OF locomoto,
ataxia, or creeping paralysis, has ss.
cured a new lease of life and
returned to work at his store. Tbi,
disease has always been supposed 70
be incurable, but Mr.. Northrop's cor.
ditiOn is greatly improved. and II
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. bs
stumbled and fell the complete lepptb
of steep flight of stairs which were
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 phy.
sicians the terrible altliction fastened
itself upon him. For nearly two
years he was perfectly helpless. He
could do nothing to support his
strength in the least effort. lie had
to be wheeled about in an invalds
chair. 1t had been hinted 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 a 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 friend in
Lockport, n. Y. wrote him, calling
his attention to the case Of person
there who had been cured of disease
similar to his own, ana to the case OF
John Marshall of Hamilton, Ont, also
cured by DR.. 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 a feeble old man
wheeled into his store on au invalids
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
Mcssrs. Bassett & l. Hommedieu, s5
Woodward avenue, and from the out
set found an improvement. He faith
fully adhered to the use of the remedy
until now he is completely restored.
Mr.. Northrop declares that there can
lie no doubt as to Pink Pills being the
cause of his restoration to health,
as all other remedies and med-
ical treatment left him in
condition rapidly going from bad
10 worse, until at last it was declared
there was no hope for him and
he was pronounced incurable.
Mr.. Northrop was asked what was
claimed for this wonderful remedy,
and replied that he understood the
prOprietors claim it to be blood
builder and nerve restorer. supplying
in a condensed form all the elements
necessa AIRY 10 enrich the blood. restore
shattered nerves and drive out dis
ease. 1t is claimed by the proprle-
tors that Pink Pills will cure paraly-
sis. rheumatism. sciatica, palpitaton
of the heart, headache. and all dis
ease, peculiar to females, loss ol aP.
petite. dizziness. sleeplessuess, loss Oh
memory. and all diseases arising rom

II want to say" said Mr.. NorthroP'
that don't have muea
faith in patent medicines
but | cannot say too mucn
in praise of DR.. Williams Pink PMS
