A DETROIT MIRACLE.

A GREAT TRIUMPH FOR CANADIAN MEDICAL SCIENCE. Particulars of One of the Most KemarlcDetrolt News—A Story Worth a Careful Personal. [Detroit 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 further explanation. It is of sufficient importance to the News’ 'readers to report it to them fully. It was so important then that 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 beeh supposed to be incurable, but Mr. Northrop’s cohdition is greatly improved, and it looks now as if the grave would bo cheated of its prey. ” Since that time Mr. Northrop has steadily improved;hot only in looks but in condition,till ho has regained his oldtime strength.

Itrhas 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. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. When 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 such case. Mr. Northrop was onthusiastie at the result iu hi,s own case of Dr. Williams' 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. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. The person cured at Lockport had obtained his information respecting Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills from an article published In the Hamilton, Ont., Times. The case was called “The HamfKpn 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 dollarrln all sorts of treat-, rnent and appliances only to be told in tte end that there was no hope for him, and that cure was impossible. The person alluded to (Mr. John Marshall, of 25 Little William street, Hamilton, Ont.,) was a member of the Royal Templars of Temperance, and after having been pronounced 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 <Jf crutches. His agonies were almost un 5 bearable and life was a burden to him, when at last relief came. Some months after ho had been paid the disability claim be heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and was induced to try them. The result was miraculous; aLjnost 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 city newspapers wrote up ills wonderful recovery in detail, and it was thus, as before stated, that Mr. Northrop come 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 why: 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 wero severely injured. He was picked' up and ‘ taken to his home. Creeping paralysis very soon developed itself, and in spito of the most strenuous efforts of friends and physicians the terrible affliction fastened itself upon him. For nearly two yoe.ts ho was perfectly helpless. He coukl do nothing to support liis strength in too least effort. He had to be " wheeled about in an invalid’s chair. Ho 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 h’s store on an invalid’s' chair, would not recognize the mau now, so great is ihd chanbe that Dr. Pink Puis have wrought. When Mr.,, Northrood* amod of the remedy that had cured Mr. Marshall in Hamilton, and the person in Lockport., he procured a supply of Dr. WXiiam*’ Pink Pills through Mo3Brs. Bassett & L'Hommodieu, V 5 Yioodward avenue, and from the outset fotiud Impiovomont. He faithfully adhered to the nee of the remedy until now he io ccnv.itetely restored. Mr. Northrop declare* that there can be no doubt as to Piuk Pills being the cause of his resteratiOu to health, as all other remedies and medical treatment left Mm in a condition rapidly going from bad to i vrwr, nrt'd at last it was declared there was no hope for him and- l\c was pro-nocuc-.d incurable; He was in this terrible condition when he began to use Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and they have restored bin: to health. Mr. Norihrcp was asked what was eltimed for this wonderful remedy, and ! replied that he understood the proprie- ! torn claim it to be a blood builder ahd nerve restorer; supplying In a condensed form ell the elements necessary to enrich the blood, restore shattered nerves nod drive out disease. It Is olaimed by the prou vislor* that Pink Pills will cure paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica, pal pita - kou of ihs heart, hoadache, and all dis-

eases 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 don’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 whiebrthat term is used, bat 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 in private practice for years before being placed for general sale." Mr. NorthrosHeclares that he is a living examplPthat there is nothing to equal these pills as a cure for nerve diseases. On Inquiry the writer found that these pills were manufactured by Dr. Williams . Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., and Brockville, 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 or 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 not a thousand miles away, it cue be easily verified. Mr. Northrop is very well known to the people of De-'* troit, and he says he is only too glad to tostify of the marvelous good -wrought in his case. He says he considers it his duty to help all who are similarly af*£? flicted by any word he can say in behalf of the wonderful efficacy of Dr. Willems’ Fink Pills. - ™ ”
