Aside from this, he stands high socially and is & brother of the circuit clerk of tho county. He Is rather of a reserved disDositon and does not care for publicity.

He stated to the reporter in the first place, that what he had to say might dispel the shadow of death from many door as it had done in his own home. He did not hesitate to assert that the little bea- con light of happiness in his home owed its very existence, not to speak Of Its brilliancy, to Owens Pink Mixture.

Still with heavy hearts we saw the little fellow gradually grow worse He refused nourishment and with zach recurring day we thought we saw his little life ebbing away. When I was away my wife watched over his little cradle with an aching and almost discon- solate heart. The little thing slept but little. Life was fast waning and seem ingly there was no hope for us but to await the inevitable.
 "One night as I was hurrying home ward with heavy heart a friend ap- preached me and asked what was worry ing me. I told him of the situation at home We'll he said, have you never tried Owens Pink Mixtures? I told him had never heard of 1t, having recently moved to Owensboro. He told me to wait minute and he would go to the laboratory and bring me a bottle. l was willing to try anything Still, had lit- tie faith in the pink-wrapped package. l went straight home and told my wife what l had and asked her to try it at once. She was willing to try anything. She began giving the medicine at once, ,liscontinuing the medicine prescribed by the doctor To our utter amazement the child grew quiet in less than six hours after the first dose had been administer ed. Before morning he had passed into a gentle sleep. As we sat by his bedside through the long and weary night we thought we could see great signs of im- proNcnient
