We met several Of his schoOlmates al
Linden who state there has been q wonder.
iul change in Bufori 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 benefting her son
she concluded to try them forherself. This
was about a year ago, and she remarked
hat if 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 J. +. Stoveall,
the druggist in Linden, Eb. Frarxier, mer.
chant, and many others who are well ac-
quainted with his family and knowt the facts.

asa prescrlption and used as such in general
practice by an eminent physician, So great
was their efficacy that it was deemed wise

are now manufactured by the DIR. Williams

are sold in boxes never in loose form by
the dozen or hundred, and the public are
cautioned against numerous limitations sold
in this shape at 80 cents a box or six boxes
for $50, and may be had of all druggists or
