From the Detroit Journal.

From the Detroit Journal.
Reports have recently reached the Journ-
al OF the remarkable cure of young man
near Marine City, Mich, whose recovery
seems little less than a restoration from
death itself. The reports were so marvellous
that the Journal was induced to make furth-
er inquiry, and accordingly dispatched a
reporter to that place to ascertain the exact
facts in the case.
About a mile from The northerly limits
of the pleasant city mentioned, live Capt.
ThOs. Pringle and his wife, and near by, in
q modest cottage, their son, ThOs. Pringle,
Jr, The father has been a sailor and a
sailing master. The son was also brought
up to the water and has sailing masters
papers for Detroit River and Lake Erie.
There is hardly any family along the shore
here that Is better known on the water or In
the settlement. The reporter first succeeded
i'm finding the elder Mrs. Pringe at home.
Indeed" said she earnestly, mo one
knows more about my sons case than do.
Two years ago he was suffering badly with
piles, often bleeding six and eight times a
day and 1t seemed as If he couldn't live
We tried everything for him and had differ
ent doctors. One of the doctors told me the
liver was so diseased that nothing could
help 1t. Another doctor once, when l was
crying about poor Tommy, said to me,
What's the use of cryingp you know he's
got to die, but we must all die some time"
HE lost his appetite and what food he
did eat wouldn't stay on his stomach. He
was weak and STOPPING and could hardly
walk. His face was pale, his lips white and
his ears so white and thin they looked al
most like paper and after that his face
turned sickly yellow. He had hard
cough and one Of the doctors said that he
was In a dangerous stage of consumption,
owing to his weakened condition following
loss of blood.
Before he was so very weak we had sent
him to California thinking the climate might
help him, but 1t did him very little good:
Everybody gave him up. heard one of
the neighbOrs saying that only one thing
would stop Tom Pringle's bleeding aud that
was death. Another said, I'm sorry you're
going to lose Tom but 1t seems as il he
couldn't live.'
Last January he came to me one day
and said he was through doct0ring. l said
to him. how about those DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People?' Il don't know
he said. If get some will you take them?
/ said to him. i don't know but WILL he
answered and so went and bought some.
'After about three weeks he came to me
one day and said he believed Pink Pills
were doing the work for him. He felt
great deal better and the bleeding had
stopped. The trouble has never come back.
He soon got his appetite and began to flesh
up, and In two months was well man. He
went to work In March, was for time in
charge of the tug Emporium, and have
since seen him work In the garden from
early in the morning till supper time. He
has got rid OF that awful greasy. yellow look
that he had when he was sick and looks
rugged and healthy"
Later In the day the reporter found Thos.
Pringle, Jr. at home and he repeated In sub
stance, though more briefly. the story that
his mother had told. He is now a robust
healthy looking man and is working steadily
every day.
Mr.. w. r. Hunt, proprietor of the Broad
way pharmacy in Marine City, upon being
questioned about these cases verified what
has already been told and added that the
sale of Pink Pills is enormous.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are not patent
medicine in the sense that name implies.
They we're first compounded as prescrip-
| ton and used as such In general practice by
an eminent physician. So great was their
efficacy that it was deemed wise to place
them in the reach Of all. They are now
manufactured by the Dr. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady. N. Y. and Brock
| vile, Ont, and are sold In boxes (never i'm
lose form by the dozen or hundred and the
public are cautioned against numerous im-
tations sold In that shape) at so cents box,
