cures when hope is gone and medical
advice pronounces the death sem

to think of leaving this sweet life

time here on earth are spent" Thus
spoke J. B. White of 1901, Sd St., n.
E. last night to Journal reporter. Mr..
| White has been much talked about of
late, and the following conversation
explains why:
II am native of Shediac, New
Brunswick, and of French descent.
1 have been IN Minneapolis for many
years. l am now 60 years old. l fell
from 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 |
was able to walk on crutches l came
near dying from the complication of
troubles that had set in after the
fall. For one year and a half l
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 could not
eat anything. If [ could have taken
nourishment and kept it down 1

sorts of medicines. had to stop all

me but skin and bone. Last summer |
felt as if | was nearly dead. My
kidneys then began to bother me. l
got sol could not sleep only at intervals
Finally l 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 Moniteatr Acadie1,,
that we got. and | thought would
like to read it and see how things
were at my old home. 1t told my
wife to give me the last number.
She brought me the one that came
that morning. The first thing | saw
was long article about the miracu-
lous cure of cripple. | read on and

article said that DR.. Williams Pink

they would cure others. The story

expect relief right away, After taking
them some days 1 could eat. People
laughed at me when l began to take
the pills, telling me | was taking SO
much candy. But the day l threw
away the crutches they thought differ

At this juncture his marrieddaught.
er, Mrs. N. White, came into the
store. "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 woman's. Mrs. White mar.
ried a man of the same name as
her father, so this accounts for the
same name.
"The DOCTORS" she said, 'told me

NV father took DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and his improvement was sc
rapid that I thought would take
them too. At first felt worse, and
then I began to mend so rapidly that
I was astOnished. 1 have taken seven
boxes and am now nearly well. I car

eat well. In the mornings 1 fee

said above in regard to his condition.

since these cures. Some of the lumber.
men going in the woods have taken
half dozen box lots of these pills with
them. They certainly have done q
wonderful lot of good and should have
the entire credit of the cures"
EOn inquiry The Journal reporter found
that these pills are now on sale at the
various wholesale drug houses of Min
neapolls and ST. Paul and are meeting
with good sale but mot as fast as
they will sell as soon as their merit is
fully known. He also found that they
were manufactured by DR.. Williams

are sold in boxes never in bulk by the
