Precious Is the panacea that cures
when hope is gone and medical advice
pronounces the death sentence-'incur-
able. How terrible it is to think OF
leaving this sweet life before the al
lotted years of mans time here on earth
are spent" Thus spoke ]. b. White Of
l2Ol, Sd ST., N. E., last night to Jour
nal reporter. Mr.. White has been much
talked about of late, and the following
conversation explains why:

wick, and of French descent. / have
been in Minneapolis for many years.

building two years ago and broke my
thigh, besides injuring myself internal

me out let the bones grow together as
best they could. When 1 was able to
walk on crutches 1 came near dying
from the complication of troubles that
mad set in after the fall. For one year
and half / walked on crutches, striv-
ing in vain to find some relief from the
misery 1 felt night and day. The worst
part of my Affections was that l could
not eat anything. If / could have taken
nourishment and kept it down l could

doctors, and kept taking all sorts OF
medicines. l had to stop all of them

aches, and my hips would pain me so
that L often thought 1 should go crazy.

kidneys then began to bother me. l got
so l could not sleep only at intervals.
Finally 1 gave up in despair. One day
L 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 I thought l
would like to read II and see how things

story aroused my interest and 1 induced
my druggist to send for them. l did
not expect relief right away, but soon

People laughed at me when 1 began to
take the pills, telling me / was taking
so much candy. But the day 1 threw
away my crutches they thought differ

At this juncture his married daughter
