Worth a Careful PerusaL

(FTon the Detroit Ne'cs)
The following paragraph, which APP
peared in the Evening News a short
time ago. furnished the basis of the
following article. It 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 a new lease of life and
returned to work at his store. This
disease has always been supposed to
DC incurable. but Mr.. Northrop's con-
d'tion is greatly improved, and 1t
looks now as if the grave would be
cheated Of its prey"
His in. ury came about in this way;
One day nearly four years ago. he
stumbled and fell the complete length
of steep flight Of stairs which wero
at the rear OF of his store. His head
and spine were severely injured. He
was pic ked up and taken to his home
Creeping paraly sis very soon develop
ed itself, and inspite of the most
strenuous efforts of friends and ply
sicians the terrible allietion 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 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. y. Y, wrote him, calling
his attention to the case Of q person
there who had been cured of a disease
similar to his own, and 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 q feeble old man
wheeled into his store on au invalid's
chair, would not recognize the man
now, so great is the change that has
been wrought. He procured a supply
of Dr. Williams Pink Pills through
Messrs. Bassett & L Homnedieu, 30
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
be 10 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
TO 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,
aud replied that he understood the
proprietors claim it to be blood
builder and nerve restorer. supplying
in a condensed form all the elements
necessary to enrich the blood. restore
shattered nerves and drive out dis
ease. 1t is claimed by the proprie-
tors that Pink Pills will cure paraly-
sis, rheumatism, sciatica, palpitation
Of the heart, headache. and all dis
eases peculiar TO females, loss OF ap-
petite. dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of
memory. and all diseases arising from
overwork, mental worry, loss of vital
force, etc.
Il want to say" said Mr.. Northrop,
that l don't have much
faith in patent medicines,
but cannot say too much
In praise of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
The proprietors, however, claim that
they are rot patent medicine in the
sense in which that term is used, but
a highly scientific preparation. the
result OF years Of careful study and
experiment On the part of the propri-
etors, and the pills we're successfully
used in private practice for years be-
fore being placed for general sale"
Mr.. Northrop declares, and he is a
living example. that there is nothing
to equal these pills as cure for nerve
diseases. On inquiry the writer found
that these pills were manufactured by
DR.. Williams Medicine Co.. Science
tady. n. Y, and Brockyille. Ont.
and the pills are sold in boxes never
in bulk at 50 cents box, boxes for
