precious is the panacea that cures
when hope is gone and medical advice
pronounces the death sentence-'incu-
rable.' How terrible it is to think of
leaving this sweet life before the allotted
years Of mans time here on earth are
spent" Thus spoke J. B. White of 1901,
Sd ST., n. E., last night to Journal re-
porter. Mr.. White has been much talked
about of late, and the following CONVEX
sation explains why:
81 am a native of Shediac, New Bruins
wick, and of French descent. [ have
been in Minneapolis for many years. I
am now 60 years old. I fell from
building two years ago and broke my
thigh, besides injuring myself internally.
The doctors could do nothing for me but
let the bones grow together as best they
could. When 1 was able to walk on
clutches / came near dying from the
complication of troubles that had set in

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 [ could not eat any
thing. If I could have taken nourish-
ment and kept it down l could have
stood the pain better. I had four doc
tors, and kept taking all sorts of med
icines. I had to stop all of them or
would have been dead man. I have
enough bottle left to start drug store.
would be troubled 50 with headaches,
and my hips would pain me so that l
often thought I should go crazy was SO
emaciated that there was nothing to me
but skin and bone. Last summer felt as if
was nearly dead. My kidneys then be-
gan to bother me. 1 got SO could not
upin dispair. One day was sitting out
on the porch. 1t was a 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 Mon5teWr AcGdien, that We got,
andI thought would like to read it and
see how things were at my old home. I
tolasmy wife to givesme the last number.
SheYbrought me the one that came that
morning. The first thing saw was a
long article about the mirs cuious cure
of cripple. Tread on and Oh, becoming
more interested than ever. The patient
described in the article said that Dr.
Williams Pink Pill for Pale People
cured him and they would cure others.
The story aroused my interest and in
duced my druggist to send for them. I
did not expect relief right away, but
soon they made the headache pass away.
After taking them some days could eat.
People laughed at me when I began to
take the pills, telling me 1 was taking so
much candy. But the day [ threw away
the crutches they thought different. I
am now well and hearty as young man
of 25.''
At this juncture his married daughter.
Mrs. N. White, came into the store.
f.There,'' said he, lis another case. She
has tried them, too" The reporter
thought it would be a good idea to
speak of her case. also, since it was a
Homan's. Mrs. White married man
of the same name as her father, so this
accounts for the same name.
1.-The DOCTORS" she said, s'told me I

able condition. Nothing that I took

my limbs and abdomen. [ often had

do me no good. l could not sleep. [
was in misery and despair. My father
took DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and his
improvement was so rapid that thought
would take them too. At first [ felt
worse, and then [ began to mend so rap
idly that was astonished. | have taken
seven boxes and am now nearly well.
l can do my own work and can sleep and
eat well. In the mornings I feel re-
freshed after nights rest.'
August Grotefend, who keeps the Ger
mania Drug Store, at 101l Main ST., N.
E., corroborated what Mr.. White had
said above in regard to his condition,
saying, II 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 have done 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
apolis 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 that they were manufact-
ured by DR.. Williams Medicine Com
pany, Schenectady, N. Y, and Brock
Vile, Ont, and the pills are sold in boxes
(never in bulk by the hundred) at so
cents box, or six for $3.50.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are perfect
blood builder and nerve restorer, curing
such diseases rs rheumatism, neuralgia,
partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, st.
Vitus' dance, nervous headache, nervous
prostrarion and the tired feeling there
from, the after effects of la grippe, in
fiuenza and severe colds, diseases de-
pending on humors in the blood. such as
scrofula, chronic erysipalas, etc. Pink

overwork or excuses of any nature.
