leaving this sweet life before the allot,
ted years of mans time here on earth
are spent" Thus spoke j. B. White,
of 1901, Sd ST., N. E, last night to a
Journal reporter. Mr.. White has been
much talked about of late, and the fol-
lowing conversation explains why:
Il am a native of Shediac, New
Brunswick, and of French descent. l
have been in Minneapolis for many
years. / am now 60 years old I fell
from a building two years ago and
broke my thigh, besides injuring my
self internally. The doctors could do
nothing for me but let the bones grow
together as best they could. When I
was able to walk on crutches | came.

troubles that had set in after the fall.
For one year and a half 1 walked on
ycrutches, striving in vain to find some
relief from the misery l felt night and

ties left to start a drug store. | would
be troubled so with headaches, and my
hips would pain me so that [ often
thought l should go crazy. I vas So
GIna ;iated that there was nothing to
me but skin and bone. Last summer l
felt as if l was nearly dead. My kid
neys then began to bother me-. I got
so I could not sleep only at intervals.
Finally l gave up in despair. One day
I vas 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
MOnIteur Acadien, that we got, and l
thought l would like to read it and see
how things were at my old home. I
told my wife to give me the last num-
Der. She brought me the one that came
that morning The first thing 1 saw
was a long article about the miraculous
cure of a cripple. l read on and on,
becoming O. interested than ever.

laughed a, me when I began to take
the pills, telling me I was taking so
much candy. But the day [ threw
away the crutches they thought differ

young man of 25."
At this juncture his married daugh-
ter, Mrs. N. White, came into the store.
There" said he, is 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
wOman's. Mrs. White married a man
of the same name as her father, so this
accounts for the same NAME.
THE Doctors" she said, told me |

was in misery and despair. My father
took DIR. Williams Pink Pills, and his
improvement was SO rapid that l
thought 1 would take them too. At
