A FATHERS DESPAIR.
A Sad Amictlon Of -Four Years
Old Child

From ne Citizens Journal. Aflanta. Ttraa
Tuesday morning, August 18th, the editor
Of the Journal, in company with g. W. Tay-
lor, the stableman Of Linden, Texas, drove
out seven miles northwest OF Linden TO the
residence o. Mr.. John Miller. We were re
ceived and wei entertained by ME- and Mrs.
Miller. Their son, Buf0rdJ. Miller, at about
four years old, became pale and weak aud
nothing seemed to do him am good. He
continued in this condition until hP was
about twelve years old, at times eating too
much for one or two meals and then eating
but little for weeks afterward. At twelve
years Of agehis feet and legs began TO swell,
and developed into what his physicians said
was bad case II drOpsy.
Mr. Miller had two good physicians to
treat him first DR.. A. ]. Oliver, Of Linden,
and then DR.. j. p. Mills, Of Almira, Texas.
They both, after making trial gave up the
case. They could not benefit the patient.
Mr. Miller then tried a number OF patent
medicines, without any good result. He had
spent much money aud his son Buford APP
peared to have no blood, no appetite, and
was 50 weak that he could not walk hun
bred yards without stopping TO rest. Mr.
Miller had given up In despair when one day
a neighbor, Rev. s. g. Echals, who lives
near Lin sew, advised him TO try Pink Pills.
Mr. Miller said he had no hope, and did
not want TO make the trial, but his neighbor
insisted. The next question was where
could he get the pills. He went to Jefferson
and found that ]. F. Crow, druggist, had
them. Mr.. Crow was an old neighbor and
friend and persuaded him TO give the pills
q thorough trial, promising that If he would
take three boxes and Bufcrd 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 one box there was wonderful i'm
lIhfn nh0mN nfmhrnnu
months ago. To-day Buford Miller is a
stout, hearty young man about nineteen
years old.
We met several Of his schoolmates at
Linden who state there has been wonder
full change in Buford Miller. he Is well
known by the people Of Linden.
His mother, Mrs Miller, was also afflicted
with dropsy about seven years, suffering
much in the spring Of the year. After see
ing that Pink Pills were benefiting her son
she concluded to try them for herself. This
was about year ago, and she remarked
that IL it had not been for Pink Pills she 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 ]. F. Stoveall,
the druggist in Linden, Eb. Frarxier, mer-
chant, and many others who are well &C
Quainted with his family and know the facts.
DR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are not patent medicine in the sense that
name implies. They were first compounded
as a prescription and used as such in general
practice by an eminent physician. So great
was their efficacy that 1t was deemed wise
to place them within the reach Of all. They
are now manufactured by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N y, and
are sold in boxes never in loose form by
the dozen or hundred, and the public arc
cautioned against numerous limitations sold
in this shape) at 50 cents box or six boxes
for s2.5c, and may be had Of all druggists or
direct by mail from DR.. Williams Medicine
Company.
