from
.Precious is the panacea that cures when
hope is gone and medical advice proDounces
the death sentence-'incurable.' How ter
rible 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 Third
street, n. E., last night to Journal re-
porter. Mr. White has been much talked
about of late. and the following conyersa-
tion explains why:
II 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 myself 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
came near dying from the complications of
troubles that had set in after the fall. For
one year and half l walked on cIutches,
striving in vain to find some relief from the
misery / felt night and day. The worst part
of my affiiction was that / could not eat
an ything If | could have taken nourish-
ment and kept ii down | could have stood
the pains better. mad four doctors and kept
taking all sorts OF medicines. L have

with headaches, and my hips would pain
me so that | often thought | should go
crazy. / was so emacialed that there was
nothing to me but skin and bone. Last
summer fell as if | was nearly dead. My
kidneys III n began to bother me. i got so
! ould not sleep only at intervals. Finally
| gave up in despair. One day / was sit
ting out on the porch. 1t was beautiful,
sunny day. The singing of birds and odor
of flowers set me to thinking OF my child
hood days. From that my thoughts re-
vertpd 10 the tile French weekly paper,
lie MOniteur AcGdien, that we got, and
thought | would like to read it and see
how things were at my old home. told
my vile 10 give me the last number. She
brought me the one that came that morn
ing. The first thing | was a long ar
tice about the miraculous cure of a Grip
pie. | read on and on, becoming more
Interested than ever. The patient de-
scribed in the article said that DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People cured
him ana they would cure others. Itold
my wife | WAS going down 10 the drug
store. two blocks off. | took the paper
with me and asked Mr.. Grotefend, the
druggist. if he had DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. He said No l told him to send
for them. In two weeks / hobbled down
to the drugstore again. He told me that
he thought | was fooling. | gave him a
dollar and told him TO seud for them. In
a week | mad the pills. With n feverish
anxiety watched their effect. | aid 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 ! began to
take the pills, telling me l was taking so
much candy. But the day | threw away
the cruiches they thought different l am

%"
AT this juncture his married daughter,
Mrs. n. White. came inte the store
There" said he, lis another case. She
has tried them. too" The reporter thought
1t would be a good idea to sreak OF her
ease also, since it was woman's. Mrs.
White married man OF the same name as
her father, so this accounts for the same
name.
"The DOCTORS" she said, "toId me had
uterine trouble. / was in miserab Bile con-
diiion. Nothing that l took could allevi-
ate the pains would feel in my limbs and
abdomen. ! often had fluttering of the
heart, and frequent weak spells. would

sleep. | was in misery and despair. My
father took DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and
his Improvement was so rapid thai thought
l would take them too. AT first / felt

my own work and can sleep and eat well.

To verify the above the scribe inter-
viewed the druggist, Auguat Grotefend,
who keeps the German!a Drugstore, at
1011 Main street, n. E.
II never saw any one so wretched as Mr.
White was last summer" said Mr.. Gr0te-
fend, aud he cOrroborated what Mr.. White
had said above in regard to his condition.
He hObbled around on his crutches, and
that seemed almost impossible for him TO
do. He took the pills, and the wonderful
result you know. His daughter did the
same, and l understand that they have
almost cured her. | have sold great
many since these cures Some of the lun-
bermen going in the woods have taken
hali-duZen box lots of these pills with
them. They certainly have done Won
derIul lot OF good, and should have the en-
tire credit of these cures"
On inquiry the Journal reporter found
that these pills are now on sale at the vari-
Gus Wholesale drughousPs of Minneapo is
and st. Paul and are meeting with a 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 Medicine Company, Scben-
ectady, n. Y, and BrOckville. Ontario,
and the pills are sold in boxes (never in
bulk by the hundred) at 90 cents a box,
and may be had of all druggists or direct
by mail from Dr. Williams Medicine Com
pany from either above addresses. A course
II treatment costs comparatively nothing
1t is a great boon 10 poor people to be able
TO gel them.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are a perfect
blo0d-builder and nerve-restorer, curing
such diseases rs rheumatism, neuralgia,
partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, ST.
VItus' dance, nervous headache, nervous
prostration and the tired feeling therefrom,
the after effects of la grippe, influenza and
severe colds, diseases depending on hum ors
in the blood. such as scrnfula. chronic cry
sipelas, etc. Pink pills give healthy glow
to pale and sallow compilations and are
specific for the troubles peculiar to the
female system. and in the case of men
they effect radical cure in all cases aris-
ing from mental worry, Oyer-work or eX-
cesses of airy nature.
