From the Citizens Journal, Atlanta, Te1ds
Tuesday morning, August 18th, tho editor
OF the Journal in company with G. W. fay
lor, the stableman of Llndon, Texas, drove
out seven miles northwest Of Linden to the
residence OF Mr.. John Miller. We we're re-
ceived and we'll entertained by Mr. and Mrs.
Miller. Their son, Buford J. Miller, at about
four years old, became pale and weak aud
nothing seemel 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 afterward. At twelve
rears OF age his feet aud legs began to swell.
md developed into what his physician said
WINS bad case OF dropsy.
Mr.. Miller had two good physicians to
treat him; first DIR. A. ]. Oliver, of Linden,
They both, after making trial, gave up the
case. They could not beneat the patient.
Mr. Miller then triod number OF patent
medicines. without any good result. He
had spent much money and his son Buford
appeared to have no blood, no appetite, and
was so weak that he could not walk a hun
dred yards without stopping to rest. Mr..
day neighbor, Rev. s. G.. Echals, who lives
near Lindon advised him to try Pink Pills.
Mr.. Miller said he hal no hope, AMI 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. Crow, a druggist. had
them. Mr. Crow was an old neighbor and
friend and persuaded him to give the pills
thorough trial, promising that If ho 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 Burord hal
taken one boy there was n wonderful inn
provement. This was about eighteen months
ago. To-day BurorA Miller is stout hearty
young man about nineteen years old.
Wemct several OF his schoomates ut Linden
who state there has been Il wonderful change
in Buforl Millcr. He is we'll known by tho
people OF Linden.
His mother. Mrs. Miller, was also afflicted
with dropsy about seven years. suffering
much in the sprinS OF tho year. After seeing
that Pink ri Is were beneiltng her son she
conclude to try them for herself. This WAS
about II year ago, and she remarked that ii
1t had not been for Pink Pills sho did not
know what would have become of her. She
had no symptoms of dropsy tho past spring.
She said too much can not be said in praise
of Pink Pills.
Mr.. Miller referred us to J. +. Stoveall, the
druggist in Linden; Eb. Frarxier, merchant,
and many others who aro well acquainted
with his family and know tho facts.
