From he Oihsenf Journal, Atlanta, Tczaa
Tuesday morning, August 18th, the editor
Of The Journal, in company with O. ". FAY
Dor, the atabloman Of Linden, Texas. drove
out seven miles northwest OF Linden 20 the
residence Of Mr. John Miller. We were 10
eoivod and vol entertained BY Mr. and Mni.
Miller. Their son, Bnford ]. Miller, az about
four years old, became pale and weak and
nothing seemed to DO him any good. he
continued IN this condition until ho was
about twelve yeau old, AZ times eating too
much FOR ono or two meals and then eating
but little for weeks afterward. At twelve
Tears OF age his foot aud legs began 10 SWELL
nd developed into what his physioiaa SAID
was a bad case OF dropsy.
Mr. Miller had two good physicians 10
treat him; FIRST DR. A. j. oliver, Of Linden,
and then Dr. j. r. Mills Of Almlra, Texas.
They both, after making n trial, gave up the
case. They could not benefit the patient.
Mr.. Miller then tried a number Of patent
medicines, without any good result Ho
had spent much money and his son Buiord
appeared 20 have no blood. no appetite, and
dred yards without stopping 10 rest. Mr..
Miller had given up IN despair when one
day nelghbor, Roy. s. O.. Rohals, who lives
near Linden advised him 20 try Pink Pills.
Mr.. Miller said he had no hope, and ala
not waat 70 make the trial, bat his neighbor
insisted. The next question was where
could he get the pills He went TO Jefferson
and found that ]. +. Grow, "a druggist, had
them. Dir. Grow WAS an old nelghbor and
a A.. h.
a thorough trial, promising that II he would
take three boxes and Buford received no
benefit from them no would charge nothing.
Mr.. Miller took three boxes Of Pink Pills
home with him. and says before Buford had
taken one box there was a wonderful I'M
provement. This was about eighteen months
ago. To-day Buiord Miller is a stout hearty
! young man about nineteen years old.
Wemet several oihls schoolmates at Linden
/ who state there has boen q wonderful change
| In Buiord Miller. He Is we'll 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 seeing
| that Pink Pills were benefting her son she
concluded to try them for herself. This was
/ about year ago, and sho remarked that II
It had not been for Pink Pills she did not
know what would have become of her She
]
She said too much can not be said In praise
Of Pink Pills.
Mr.. Miller referred MS TO J. F. Stoveall, the
druggist In Linden; Eb. Frarxier, merchant,
and many Others who are we'll acquainted
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 prescription and used as such In gem
eral 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. T., and ere sold in boxes (never in loose
form by the dozen or hundred, and the pub
lie are cautioned against numerous imita-
lions sold Ia this shape) at 80 cents box, or
six boxes for $3.50, and may be had Of all
druggists or direct by mail from DR.. Will
Jams Medicine Company.
