A FATHERS DESPAIR.
Sad Addiction Of . Four Years OIL
Child.

A Sad Amiction Of = Four Years Old
Child.
From Me Citizens Journal, Atlanta, Tezas.
Tuesday morning, August 18th, the editor
OF the Journal. in company with G. W. fay
, lor, the stableman OF Linden, Texas. drove
out seven miles northwest Of Linden to the
residence OF Mr.. John Miller. We were re-.
ceivod and we'll entertained by Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller. Their son, Buford J. Miller, at about
four years old, became pale and weak and
nothing seemed to do him any good. he
continued In this condition until he was
about twelve years old, at times eating too
much for ono or two meals and then eating
but little for weeks aiterward. At twelve
:rsars of age his feet and legs began to swell,
ind developed into what his physician said
was bad case Of dropsy.
Mr.. Miller had two good physicians to
treat him; first Dr.. A. j. oliver, OF Linden,
and then DR.. J. p. Mills, OF Amira, Texas.
They both, after making trial, gave up the
case. They could not benefit the patient.
Mr.. Miller then tried number of patent
medicines. without any good result. He
had spent much money and his son Buford
appeared to havc no blood. no appetite, and
was so weak that he could not walk a hun
dred yards without stopping to rest. Mr..
Miller had given up in despair when ono
day neighbor, Rev. 8. @. Echals, who lives
near Linden, advised him to try Pink Pills.
Mr.. Miller said he had no hope, and did
not want to mako the trial, but his neighbor
insisted. The next question was where
could he get the pills. He went to Jefferson
and found that ]. F. Grow, a druggist. had
them. Mr. Crow was an old neighbor and
friend and persuaded him to give the pills
thorough trial, promising that ii he would
take three boxes and Buford received no
benefit from them he would charge nothing.
Mr.. Miller took three boxes OF Pink Pills
home with him, and says before Buford had
taken enc box thero was wonderful i'm
provement. This was about eighteen months
ago. To-day Buford Miller is a stout hearty
young man about nineteen years old.
Wemet several of his schoolmates at Linden
who state there has been wonderful change
in Buford Miller. He is we'll known by the
people of Linden.
His mothor. Alrs. Miller. was also afflicted
with dropsy about seven years. suffering
much in the spring OF tho year. After seeing
that Pink Pills were benehting her son she
concluded to try them for herself. This WIS
about year ago, and she remarked that il
1t had not beon for Pink Pills sho did not
know what would have become of her. She
had no symptoms OF dropsy the past spring.
She said too much can not be said in praise
OF Pink Pills.
Mr.. Miller referred us to j. r. Stoveall, the
druggist in Linden; Eb. Frarxier, merchant,
and many others who arc we'll acquainted
with his family and know tho facts.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are not a patent medicine in the sense that
name implies. They were first compounded
as prescription and used as such in gem
eral practice by an eminent physician. SO
great was their efficacy that it was deemed
wise to place them within the reach OF nil.
They are now manufactured by the DR..
Williams Medicine Company. Schenectady,
N y, and ere sold in boxes (never in loose
form by the dozen or hundred, and the pub
lie arc cautioned against numerous imita-
tlons sold in this shape) at 80 cents box, or
six boxes for 80. 30, and may be had Of all
druggists or direct by mail from DR.. WILL
