able interest as it records the remarkable
achievement of medical discovery, Wilicn
has already won great and enduring tame.
The story is told by Tie News as follows:
The following paragraph, which appear
ed in The News short time ago, furnished
the basis of this national case that
was 50 wonderfully remarkable that 1t
demanded further explanation. 1T Is or
sufficient Importance to The News readers
to report it to them fully. 1t was 50 I'M
portant then that it attracted considerable
attention at the time The following is tie
paragraph in question:
&c. Il. Northrop, for twenty-eight years
one of the best known merchants on Wood
ward avenue, who was supposed to be dy-
ing last spring of locomotor ataHia, or creep
ing paralysis, has secured Il new lease OF
life and returned to work at his store.
The disease has always been supposed to
be incurable, but Mr. Norhrops condition
has greatly improved, and it looks now as
if the grave would be cheated of its prey"
Since that time Mr.. Ncrthrop has steadi-
ly improved not only in looks, but in con-
di:ion, till he has regaiped his old-tiine
strength.
1t had been limited to the writer OF this
article, who was acquainted with Mr.. Nor
throp, that this miraculous change had
been wrought by a very simple remedy,
called DR.. Williams's Pink Pills for Pale
People, When saicd about it Nh Northrop
fully verified the statement, and not only
so, but he had taken pains to inform any
one who was suffering in a similar manner
when he heard of any such case. Mr.. Nor
throp was enthusiastic at the result i'll his
own case of DR. Wlliams's Pink Pills.
1t was a remedy that he had heard Of after
he had tried everything he could hope t"
give him relief He had been in the care
of the best physicians. who did all they
could to alleviate this terrible malady, but
without any avail. He had given up hope,
when a friend in Loc&port, ~ y, wrote
him of the case OF Il person there who hitu
been cured i'll similar circumstances by Nv
Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People. The
person cured at Lockport had obtained his
inforination respecting DT; Nlliam ms ;
Pink Pills from an article published III HE
hamilton, Ont, Times. The case war
called The hamilton Mracie,' and told
tie story N man in that city who. alter

rablc and permanently disabled. lie haI
spent hundreds Of dollars III al sorts OF

the end that there was no hope tor him.
and that cure was inpC sSlble. lhe person
alluded 10 (Alr. John Marshall, OF 20 lat
tie William street, Hamilton, Ont.,) was 4
member of the Royal Iemplars of Temper
ancc, and after having been pronounced
permanently disabled and incura-
bic by 81 b ooo ph{ SSr1;o d Mas
5lIty provided by the order for its members
in such eases. For years Mr.. Marshall
had been utterly helpless, AVID he was bare
ly able TO drag himself around the house
with the aid OF crutches. His agonies were
almost unbearable and life was burden
to him, when at last relief came. Some
months after he had been paid the disabli-
t. claim ae heard Of DT.- Wi!liams's INK
Pills and was induced to try them. The
result was miraculous; almost from the
outset an improvement was noticed, ana IN
a few months the man whom medical eX-
perts had said was incurable, was going
about the city healthier and stronger than
before. Mr. Marshall was so well known
in Hamilton that all the city newspapers
wrote up his wonderful recovery i'll detail,
and it was thus, as before stated, that Mr..
Northrop came into possession of the IN
formation that led to his equally marvellous
recovery. One could scarcely conceive
case more hopeless than that OF Mr.. Nor
throp. His injury came about IN this way:
One day nearly four years ago, he stumbled
and fell the complete length of steep
fight of stairs which were at the rear OF
his store His head and spine were severe
ly injured. He was picked up and taken
to his home. Creeping paralysis very soon
developed itself, and in spite of the most
strenuous efforts of friends and physicians
the terrible afiiiction fastened itself upon
him. For nearly two years he was per
fectly helpless. He could do nothing t"
support his strength in the least effort.
He had to be wheeled about in an invalid s
chair He was weak, pale and fast sinking
when this t11cly information came that
veritably snatched his life from the jaws
of death Those. who at that time saw Il
feeble old man wheeled into his store on
an inyalids chair, would not recognize the
mas now, so great is the change that DR..
Williams's Pink Pills have wrought. When
Mr. NorthrQp learned of the remedy That
had cured Mr.. Marshall i'll Hamilton, and
the person in Lockport, ne procured sup
Messrs. Bassett Il L'Hommedieu, 20 Wood
ward avenue, and from the outset found an
Improvement. He faithfully adhered to
the use of the remedy until now he is com
pletely restored. Mr.. Northrop declares
that there can be no doubt az to Pink Pills
being the cause of his restoration to health,
as all other remedies and medical treat
mcnt left him in condition rapidly going
from bad to worse, until at last it was de-
clared there was no hope for him and he
was pronounced incurable; lie vas IN this
terrible condition when he b1 "a to use
Dr. Williamss Pink Pills, and they have
restored him to health.
nIr. Northrop was asked what was claim
ed for this WOndcrlul remedy, ana GcpIltsu
that he understood the proprIetors claim
it to be a blood builder and nerve restorer,
surpIving in 1t condensed form all the ele-
ments necessary 10 enrich the blood, re-

T don't have much faith in patent medicines,
but I cannot say too much in praise of Dr.
Williams's Pink Pills. The proprietors,
however, claim that they are not Il patent

is used, but highly scientific preparation,

Is nothing to equal these pills as a cure for
