Child.
From the Citizens Journal. Atlanta. Terms.
Tuesday morning, August 18th. the editor
of the Journal, in CONF any with G.. 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 we'll entertained BY Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller. Their son, Butord J. Miller, at atou.
four years old, became pale and weak anil
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
years OF age his feet and legs began 10 swell.
and developed iuto what his physician said
wasa bad case of dropsy.
MIR. Miller had two good physicians to
treat him; first DR.. A.. ]. Oliver. OF Linden.
and then Or. J. P. Mills, of Almira, Texas.
They both, after making a trial, gave up tho
case. They could not benefit the patient.
Mr.. Miller then tried a number of patent
medicines, without any good result. Hehad
spent much money and his son Buford APP
peared to have no BLOOD. no appetite, and
was so weak that he could not walk a hun
dred yards without stopping to rest. Mr..
Miller had gwen up in despair when one day
a neighbori Rev. s. G. Echals. who lives near
Linden, advised him to try PIN 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.
Mr.. Crow was an old neighbor and friend
and persuaded him to give tho pills a
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 hoync of piDk PfllC
home with him, and says before Buford had
taken one box there was a wonderful I'M
provement. This was eighteen months ago.
To-day Buford Miller is a stout, hearty young
man about nineteen years old.
We met several Of his schoolmates at Lin
den who state there has been a wonderful
change in Buford 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 a year ago. and she remarked that if it
had not been for Pink Pills she did not know
what would have become of her. She had
no symptoms of dropsythe past spring. She
said too much can not be said in praise
Of Pink Pills.
Mr.. Miller referred US to ]. T. Stoveall, the
druggist in Linden. Eb. FrarXier, merchant.
and many others who are well acquainted
with his family and know the facts.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People

as a prescription and used as such in gen.
eral practice by an eminent physician. Sc
great was their efficacy that it was deemed
wise to place them within the reach of all
