Marvelou Improvement.
"Precious is the panacea that cures
when hope is gone and medical ad
vice pronounces the death sentence
incurable.' How terrible it is to
think of leaving this sweet life before
the allotted years-of man's time here
on earth are spent." Thus spoke J.
B. White of 1201. 3d St., N. E.,
last night to a Journal reporter. Mr.
White has been much talked about
of late, and the following conversa
tion explains why : - ,
"I am a native of Shediac, New
Brunswick, and of French descent.
I have been in Minneapolis for many
years. I 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;
I -."'came near dying from the complica
tion of troubles that had set in after;
the fall. For one year and a: half I :
walked on crutches, striving in van
to find some relief from the misery I
left night and day. The worst part
of my afflictions was that I could not
eat anything. If I could have taken
nourishment and kept it down I
riould have stood the pain better. I
had four doctors, and kept taking all
sorts of medicines I h id to stop all
of them or I would have been a
dead man. I have enough bottles
left to start a drug store. 1 would be
troubled so with headaches, and my
and mv hips would pain me so that
I often thought I should go crazy. I
was so emaciated that there was
nothing tor me but skin and bone. 1
Last summer I felt as if I was nearly
dead. My kidneys then began to
bother me. I got so I could not
sleep only at intervals. Finally I
gave lip in despair. One day I was
sitting out on .the porch. It 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 thought's reverted to
the little rrencn weeitiv paper, Le
Moniteu'r Acadien, that we got, and
I thought I would like to read it and
see how things were at my old home.
I fold my wife to give me the last
number. She brought . me the one
that came that morning. The first
thing I saw was a long article about
the miraculous cure of a ciipple. I ,
read on and on, becoming more'
interested than ever. The patient
described in. the article said that Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
cured him and they would cure
others. The story aroused my inter
est and I induced my druggist to
send for them. , I did not expect re
lief right aw ay, but soon they made
the headache pass away. After taking
them some days I could eat. People
laughed at me when I began to take
the pills, telling me I was taking so
much candy. . But the day I threw
away the crutches they thought differ
ent. I am now well and hearty as a
young man of 25."
At this juncture his married
daughter, Mrsl 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 lather, so this accounts

but it would do me no good. I could

not sleep. I was in misery and de
spair.. My father took Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and his improvement was
so rapid that I thought I would take
them too. At first 1 felt worse, and
the I began to mend so rapidly that
I was astonished. I have taken seven
1 boxes and am now nearly well; I ran

eit well. .In the morning I k-el

August Grotefend, who keeps the
Germanii Drug Store, at 1011 Main
St., N. corroborated what Mr.
White 1 ad said above in regard to
his condition, saying, "1 have sold
a great inany since these cures. Some
of the lumbermen going in. the woods
haven taken half dozen box lots of
these pills with them. They certainly
have done a wonderful lot of good
and should -'have the entire credit of
the cures." j
On inquiry The Journal reporter ,
found that these pills are now on sale
at the various wholesale drur houses
of Minneapolis and St. Paul and are
meeting with a good sale, but not . as
fast as 'they will sell as soon as their
merit is fullv known, lie also found
that they were manufactured by Dr. .
Williams' Medicine Company,.
Schenectady, N. V., and Brockville, J
Out., and the Dills are sold 111 boxes
(never in bulk by the hundred) at 501
cents a. box." or six boxes tor 5)2.50.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a per
fect blood builder and nerve restorer,
curing such diseases as 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
humors in the blood, such as scrofula
chronic erysipelis, etc. Pink Pills
give a healthy glow to pale and
sallow complexions and are a specific
for the troubles peculiar to the female
system ; in men they effect a radical
cure in all cases aris;n from mental
worry, overwork or ex cesses of any
nature. "
Elder S S. Beaver, of McAllister
ville, Juniatta Co., Pa., says his wife
is subject to cramp in the stomach.

the speedy relief it afforded. She has

Quile an unusual incident occur-

feeling of that soldier when he awoke
and found what a "coql' bed fellow
he had. Fortunately the soldier
awoke before his snakeship, and pro
ceeded to give the poor thing what

One of our soldier friends came
near being brought up, for allowing
the boys to cross his guard line, but
fortunately for him he found a hole in

Of course some ol the boys were
overcome by "the extreme heat of

give below a portrait of one of these
gents as he started down the plank
walk from the hotel. W e refrain

One of the most amusing incidents
of the encampment happened shortly
after the troops arrived at Morehead.
One ot our gay young men "bediked"
himself and hied him to the Atlantic
Hotel, where he selected the lady ol
his choice and sallied forth and took
his seat upon the extreme end of the

Anotlier Failure.
"Big trees from little acorns grow,"
and so large fortunes often have
started from the investment of a very
small capital. We heard of .the
formation " of a cjo-partntrshTp " last
week" wherein the joint cash invest
ment was fifteen cents, yet with this
insignificant- sum, and plenty nerve,
energy and push, the firm succeeded
in making a very comfortnble living.
This enterprising firm, Edwards and
Joseph, would have continued to
thrive, had they not, in an evil hour,
branched off from the slow and sure
path to succe;s and chased the but
tetfly of sudden'y- acquired . riches.
As it was they were forced to make
an assignment to a green country
man named Williams.

It affords us pleasure, to reproduce
the following from last Sunday's
Wilmington Messenger :
This splendid regiment was never
in such good trim. The improve

order, all due to the unceasing energy
and ardor of its highly educated, re
fined and christian colonel, John Y.
Bruton. Both officers and men hole
. Col. Bruton (than whom there is no
I abler officer in the National Glial d of

love him and would follow him any
where. He never leaves camp, at

schools of instruction for his officers
every morning at 10 o'clock. The
records, books and papers of his of
fice are a marvel of beauty and s s
tem and the general headquarters and
the United States officers are con
stantly showering compliments on
him for the military manner in which
he conducts everything. North

the Second regiment and her gallant,
accomplished and faithful colonel.

E. Warren, adjutant' of

It is estimated that today there are
40,000 men in' Denver unable to secure
employment. .There are 20,000 in out
side towns, one-half of whom are mak
ing their way to this city, where they
will become a public charge if condi
tions do not speedily change. It is
argued that these men are not paupers,
but if they can get into the agricul
tural districts they will be able to
secure employment in" the harvest
fields, where men will soon be in de
mand. The typographical union at a meet
ing last night appropriated $1,000 for
the purpose of sending . unemployed
men to their homes in the east.
The railroads have been asked to
make a 15 rate for any point between
here and Chicago. A conservative es
timate of the men discharged by rail
ways, mines, business houses and

15,000. It is also estimated that Colo
rado, Utah, Montana, and New Mexico
merehants have countermanded orders
on ew 1 orK wiioiesale nouses lor

over 812,000,000.

A naval officer of high rank, said that,
both England and France are to a cer
tain extent out of hand as regards their
nominal ruling authorities and there
is no knowing what .circumstanced
may result from apparently inade

nature to inspire confidence.- On the
China station there are twenty ships,
headed by the Imperieuse, the
only armored vessel omong them. On
the East Indies station there are ten
vessels headed by the Bodieea. Franco
