PRECIOUS Is the panacea that cures
when hope Is gone and medical advice
pronounces the death sentence-'In cura-
ble. How terrible 1t Is to think of leav-
ing this sweet life before the allotted
years OF mans time here on earth are
spent" Thus spoke j. B. White Of 1901,
3D. ST., N. E., last night to Journal re-
porter. Mr.. White has been much talked
about Of late, and the following converse
ton explains why:

doctors could do nothing for me but let the
bones grow together as best they could.

sitting out on the porch. 1t was beau
tiful, sunny day. The singing Of birds
and the odor Of flowers set me to thinking
OF my childhood days. From that my
thoughts reverted to the little French
weekly paper, LIE Moniteur Acadien, that
we got, and l thought l would like to
read it and see how things were at my
old home. told my wife to give me the
last number. She brought me the one
that came that morning. The first thing

on, becoming more Interested than ever
The patient described In the article said
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People cured him and they would cure
others. The story aroused my interest

At this juncture his married daughter,
Mrs. N. White, came into the store.
There" said he, "is another case. She
has tried them, too" The reporter
thought 1t would be good idea to speak
of her case, also, since II was a woman's.
Mrs. White married man of the same
name as her father, so this accounts for
the same name.

pair. My father took DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and his Improvement was so rapid
that | thought | would take them too.

l have taken seven boxes and am now
nearly well. do my own work and can

August Grotefend, who keeps the Ger
mania Drug Store, ut 1Oi1 Main St., N.
E., corroborated what Mr.. White had
said above in regard to his condition,
saying, II have sold great many since
these cures. Some of the lumbermen 60
ing to the woods have taken half dozen
box lots Of these pills with them. They
certainly have done a wonderful lot Of
good and should have the entire credit OF
the cures"
On inquiry The Journal reporter found
that these pills are now on sale at the
various wholesale drug houses OF Mime
appolis and st. Paul and are meeting with
good sale, but not as fast as they will
sell as soon as their merit Is fully known.
He also found they were manufactured
by DIR. Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y, and Brockville, Ont.
and the pills are sold i'm boxes (never In
bulk by the hundred) at so cents a box,
or six boxes for $3.50.
