A FATHERS DESPAIR.
A Sad Affection OF a Four Years
Old Child.

From the Citizens Journal, Atlanta, Texas.
Tuesday morning, August 18th, the editor
of the Journal, in company with @. w. Tay-
lor, the stableman of Linden, Texas, drove
out seven miles northwest of Linden to the
residence of Mr.. John Miller. We were re-
ceived and well entertained by Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller. Their son, BufordJ. 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 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 of dropSy.
Mr. Miller had two good physicians to
treat him; first DR.. A. j. Oliver, of Linden,
and then DIR. 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 number of patent
medicines, without any good result. He had
spent much money and his son Buford ap-
peared to have no blood, no appetite, and
was so weak that he could not walk hum
dred yards without stopping to rest Mr..
Miller had given up in despair when one day
neighbor, Rev. s. g. Echals, who lives
near Linden, advised him to try Pink Pills.
MIR. 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 J. F. Crow, a druggist, had
them. MIR. Crow was an old neighbor and
friend and persuaded him to give the pills
thorough trial, promising that If 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 one box there was wonderful i'm
provement. This was about eighteen
months ago. To-day Buford Miller is
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 wen
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 benefting her son
she concluded to try them for herself. This
was about year ago, and she remarked
that if it had not been for Pink Pills she did
not know what would have become OF ner.
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. +. Stoveal,
the druggist in Linden, Eb. Frarxier, mer-
chant and many others who are well ac-
ouainted with his family and know the facts.

as prescription and used as such in general
practice by an eminent physician. 30 great
