siderable prominence as being the own
er of the only buffalo herd in South
Dakota. The item contained some ir-
regularities. The facts in the ease are
that while Mr.. Carlin was chief clerk
at the Cheyenne River Indian agency

ored with q half breed, the daughter of
a, pioneer Frenchman by the name of
DuPree. Later he WAS married to this

fifty miles west of the Cheyenne river.
Mi. DuPree is very wealthy. He has

owns The buffalo herd referred to by
Mn. Carlin, who has gained the conf.
dence of his fa~therinlaw to such an
extent that in the old gentleman's de-
Ginning years he has practically turned
ove h control of his business affairs

an old bull buffalo. for which he re-
ceived an even $1,000. He refuses abso-
sutely to sell any of the cows. and but
seldom consents to sell a bull. He had
no less than twenty opportunities last

II was encouraged by Mr.. McManuS'
cure, and as a last resort tried the Pink
Pills myself" said Mr.. Norton to o Chron-
icle reporter. You have known me for
i've years, and know how l have suffered.
Why, during the summer of 1888 l was
on IN back ut the Mullanphy Hospital.
IN this city, four weeks. was put on the
old system of dieting, with a view to clear
ing those acidulous properties in my blood
that medical theorists say is the cause of
my rheumatism. left the hospital feel
ing stronger, but the first damp weather
brought with ii those e~Xcruciating pains,
in the legs and back. Ii was the same old
trouble. After sitting down for n stretch
of i've minutes, the pains screwed my
legs into q knot when l arose, and | hob
blee as painfully as ever. After l had
taken my first box of Pink Pills, it struck
me that the pains were less troublesome.
] tried another box, and l began almost
unconsciously TO have faith in the Pink
Pills. l improved SO rapidly that / could
rise after sitting at my desk for an hour
and the twinges of rheumatism that ac-
c%ompanied my rising were so mild that L
scarcely noticed them. During the past
two weeks, we have had much rainy
weather in st. Louis. But the dampness
has not had the slightest effect in bringing
back the rheumatism, which l consider II
sufficient and reliable test of the efficacy
of Pink Pills. l may also say that the
Pink Pills have acted as a tonic on my
stomach, which l thought was well nigh
destroyed by the thousand and one alleged
remedies l consumed i'll the past five
years"
