White, of 1901, Third street n O., last
night to Journal reporter. Mr.. White
has been much talked about OF late,
and the following conversation explains
why:
Il am a native OF Shediac, New
brunswick, and of French descent.

years. l am now go years old. l fell
from building two years ago and
broke my thigh, besides injuring myself
internally. The doctors could do moth

dying from the complication of troubles
that had set in after the fall. For one
year and half 1 walked on crutches,
striving in vain to find some relief from
the misery felt night and day. The
worst part of my Affections was that;I

so emaciated that there was nothing TO

l could not sleep only at intervals.
Finally gave up in despair. One day
was sitting out on the porch. 1t was
beautiful 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 / thought l
would like to read it and see how things
were at my old home. l told my wife
to give me the last number. She
brought me the one that came that

ing 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
and induced my druggist to send for
them. | did not expect relief right
away, but soon they made the headache
pass away. After taking them some
days l could eat. People laughed at me
when began to take the pills, telling
me was taking so much candy. But
the day threw away the crutches they
thought different. l am now we'll and
hearty as young man OF 25."
AT this juncture his married daughter,
Mrs. N. White, came into tho store.
"There " said ne, lis another case.
She has tried them too" Tho reporter
thought it would be a good idea to
speak OF her case, also, since it was
woman's. Mrs. White married man
OF the same name as her father so this
accounts for the same name.

August Grotefend, who keeps the
Germania drug store, at 1O11 Main
street, n. O., corroborated what MI
White had said above in regard to his
condition, saying, 81 have sold a great
many since these cures. Some of the
lumbermen going in the woods have
taken half dozen box lots of these pills
with them. They certainly havo done a
wonderful lot OF good and should have
the entire credit of the curos"
On inquiry The Journal reporter
found that these pills are now on sale
at the various wholesale drug houses OF
Minneapolis and st. Paul and are meet
ing with good sale, but not as fast as
they will sell as soon as their merit is
fully known. He also found that they
were manufactured by DR.. Williams
