A DETROIT
A Great Triumph for Medical Science

Particulars of One of the Most Remark
the Detroit News-A Story Worth q
Careful Perusal.
Detroit News: The following para.
graph, which appeared in the Evening
News a short time ago, furnished the
basis of the following article. It Is of
sufficient Importance to the News read
ers to report it to them fully. It was so
important then that it attracted con-
siderable attention at the time. The
following is the paragraph in question:
&C. B. Northrop, for twenty.eight
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 secured
a new lease Of life and returned to work
at his store. This disease has always
been supposed to be incurable, but Mr..
Northrop's condition is greatly improved
and it looks now as if the grave would
be cheated Of its prey"
Since that time Mr.. Northrop has
steadily improved, not only in looks, but
in condition. until he has at last re-
gained his old-time strength. &.
It had been limited to the writer of
this article, who was acquainted with
Mr.. Northrop, that the miraculous
change had been wrought by a very
simple remedy called Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. When asked about
it, MIR. Northrop fully verified the state
ment. He vas enthusiastic at the result
IN his WI case of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. It 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
terrible malady, but without any avail.
He had given up hope when a friend in
Lockport, N. Y, wrote him calling his
attention to the case OF a person 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 we'll known that an account of his
cure and recovery was published in de-
tail by all the city papers. One could
scarcely conceive a case more hopeless
than that of Mr.. Northrop. His injury
came about in this way: One day,
nearly four years ago, he stumbled and
fell the complete length of a steep
flight of stairs which we're at the rear of
his store. His head and spine were
severely 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 affliction 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. He was weak, pale
and fast sinking when this timely in
formation came, that vertically snatched
his life from the jaws of death. Those,
who at that time saw a feeble old man
wheeled into his store on an invalid's
chair, would not recognize the man now,
80 great is the change that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills have wrought. When Mr..
Northrop learned of the remedy that
had cured Mr.. Marshal in Hamilton,
and the person in Lockport, he procured
a supply of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
through Messrs. Bassett & L'Homme-
dieu, "a Woodward avenue, and from
the outset found an improvement. He
faithfully adhered to the use of the rom
edy until now he is completely re-
stored. MI. Northrop declares that
there can be no doubt as to Pink Pills
being the q Of his restoration to
health, as all other remedies and medi-
cal treatment left him in q condition
rapidly going from bad to worse, until
at last it was declared there was no hope
for him and he wat declared incurable.
He was in this terrible condition when
he began to use DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and they have restored him to health.
Mr.. Northrop al asked what was
claimed for this wonderful remedy, and
replied that he understood the proprie-
tors claim it to be a blood builder and
nerve restorer, supplying in q condensed
from all the elements necessary to en-
rich the blood, restore shattered nerves
and drive out disease. It is claimed by
the proprietors that Pink Pills will cure
paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica, palpita-
ton of the heart, headache, and all
diseases peculiar to females, loss of ap.
petite, dizziness, s~leeplessness, loss Of
memory, and all diseases arising from
overwork, mental worry, loss OF vital
force, etc.
II want to says" said Mr.. Northrop,
"that I don't have much faith in patent
medicines, but I cannot cay too much in
praise of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The
proprietors, however, claim that they are
