A DETROIT MIRACLE.

A GREAT TRIUMPH FOR CANADIAN MEDICAL SCIENCE. Particulars of One of the Most Remarkable Cures on Record Described the Detroit News—A Story Worth a Careful Personal. fDetrolt News.] The following paragraph, which appeared in the News a short time ago, furnished the basis of this Information —a case that was so wonderfully remarkable that it demanded furth r explanation. It ia of sufficient importance to the News’ reuders to report it to them'fully. It was so important then that it attracted considerable 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. The 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 itsprey.” Since that time Mr. Northrop has steadily improved not only in looks but in condition, till he has regained his oldtime strenglh. It has been hinted to the writer of this article, who was acquainted with Mr. Northrop, that this miraculous change had been wrought by a very simple remedy called Dr. YVilliams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. YVhen asked about it, Mr. Northrop fully verified the statement, and not only so but he had taken pains to inform anyone who was suffering in a similar manner when he heard of any suoh case. Mr. Northrop was enthusiastic at the result in his own case of Dr. YVilliams’ Pink Pills. It was a remedy that he had heard of after he had tried everything he could hope 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 of the case of a person there who had been cured in similar circumstances by Dr. YVilliams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. The person cured at Lockport had obtained his information respecting Dr. YVilliams’ Pink Pills from an article published in the Hamilton, Ont., Times. The case was called “The Hamilton Miracle,” and told the story of a man in that city who, after almost incredible suffering, was pronounced by the most eminent physicians to be incurable and permanently disabled. He had spent hundred of dollars in all sorts of treatment and appliances only to be told in the end that there was no hope for him, and that, cure was impossible. The person alluded to (Mr. John Marshall, of 25 Little YVilliam street, Hamilton, Ont.,) was a member of the Koyal Templars of Temperance, and after having been probounced permanently disabled'and incurable by the physicians, was paid the SI,OOO disability insurance provided by the order for its members in such cases. For years Mr. Marshall had been utterly helpless, and was barely able to drag himself around his house with the aid of crutches. His agonies were almost unbearable and life was a burden to him, when at last relief came. Some months after he had been paid the disability claim he heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and was induced to try them. The result was miraculous; almost from the outset an improvement was noticed, and In a few months the man that medical experts 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 oity newspapers wrote up his wonderful recovery in detail, and it was thus, as before stated, that Mr. Northrop came into possession of the information that led to his equally marvelous recovery. 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 were 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 tj be wheeled about in an invalid’s chair. He was weak, pale, and fast sinking when this timely information came that veritably 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, so great is the change that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have wrought. When Mr. Northrop learned of the remedy that had cured Mr. Marshall in Hamilton, and the person in Lockport, he prOt'ut-ed a supply of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pips through Messrs. Bassett & B’Homhiedieu, 95 Woodward avenue, and -Worn the outset found improvement. He faithfully adhered to the use of the rorriedy until now he is completely restored. Mr. Northrop declares that there can ho doubt as to Pink Pills being the cahse of his restoration to health, as all btbCr remedies and medical’ treatment ' left him in a condition rapidly going from bad to worse, until at last it was declared there was no hope for him and he was pronounced 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 was asked what was claimed for this wonderful remedy, and replied that he understood the proprietors claim it to be a blood builder and nerve restorer; supplying in a condensed form all the elements necessary to enrich the blood, restore shattered nerves and drive out disease. It is claimed by the proprietors that Pink Pills will cure paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica, palpitation of the heart, headache, and all diseases peculiar to females, loss of appetite, dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of memory, and all diseases arising from overwork, mental worry, loss of vital force, etc. “I want to say,” said Mr. Northrop, “that I d:;n’t have much faith in patent medicines, but I cannot say too much in praise of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The proprietors, however, claim that they are not a patent medicine in the sense in whioh that term 1s used, but a highly scientific preparation, the result of years of careful study and experiment on the part of the proprietors, and the pills were successfully used ha private practice for years before being plaoed for general sale.” Mr. North-

rop declares that he Is a living exam* pie that there is nothing to equal these - pills as a cura tor nerve diseases. On Inquiry the writer found that these' pills were manufactured by Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., and Brookvllle, Ont., and the pills are sold in boxes (never in bulk by the hundred), at 50 cents a box, and may be had of all druggists of direct by mail from Dr. Williams Medicine Co., from either above addresses. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment with them comparatively inexpensive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment. This case is one of the most remarkable on record, and as it is one right here in Detroit and ndi’t a thousand miles away, it can be easily verified. Mr. Northrop is very well known to the people of Detroit, and he says he Is only 100 glad to testify of the marvelous good wrought in his case. He says he considers it his duty to help all who are similarly afflicted by any word he can say in behalf of the wonderful efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
