The old biblical adage, that "a prophet
is never without honor save in his own
country" is undoubtedly true in ninety
nine instances out of one hundred when
either applied to man or the product of his
wonderful genius. Seldom do you hear OF
an exception to this rule, but it is found i'll
the reputation that Owens Pink Mixture
has achieved for itself But it could hardly
have been otherwise when it is known that
the medicine is made from prescription
that was given for nearly forty years by
, one of the most successful family physi-
clans in Tennessee. 1t takes results to
have effect upon home people. No amount
of advertising will convince a person
where a remedy is put up that it will do
what the proprietorS claim. He is a doubt
ing Thomas until he sees the physical
effects. When once convinced, though he
is an advocate of its merits so long as he
lives.
Of course, thousands of people know
now that Owens Pink Mixture is put up
by the Floyd Medicine Company, of
Detroit Mich, but there was time when
it was not. 1t was prepared for the public
for several years in OWenshoro, KY. and
there it was that the people first became
acquainted with its wonderful merits as a
life saver to the young This acquaintance
came not through the columns of news
paper, but from actual experience and from
IL
it had saved.
William H. K Bedford is one of the best
known young men in Greensboro. He is
connected with one of the largest mercan-
tile establishments in the city. Aside from
this, he ltands high socially and is a
brother of the circuit clerk of the county.
He is rather of reserved disposition and
does not care for publicity. When ap-
preached on the subject of an interview in
regard to the merits of Owens Pink Mix
ture, he was inclined to be reticent, and
only consented to tell the story of its
wonderful results in his own family after
due delberation. 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 beacon light of happiness in his
home owed its very existence, not to speak
of its brilliancy, to Owens Pink Mixture.
Mr.. Bedford was at his place Of business
when approached and asked for story of
what the medicine had done in his own
home 1t was related between times as
customers came and went out of the big
establishment. Said he:
Have I ever used Owens Pink Mix
ture? Well, l am proud to say that have.
Every sentiment that I voice about the
wonderful results of this medicine in my
family is that ofmy wife. The last hope of
saving our first-born had almost faded
away, when, by a mere chance, like a
drowning man after a straw, | brought
home bottle of this medicine. We adj
ministered the medicine according to the
directions, but must say with little hope
of doing any good You can imagine
almost the reverence my wife and | now
hold towards that which brought back the
flush of life to the cheeks of our loved one,
aand once more stamped upon his cherub-
Al. II L., Al,
Jan idol in our house it is Owens Pink
AsNIxts&, for we are never without it.
" 1t was during the early part of last
July that our four-months-old baby was
taken sick. OF course, we called in our
regular physician. He did the best he
could, but the little fellow seemed to grow
worse. Finally another was called in
consultation, Still with heavy hearts we
saw the little fellow grow gradually worse.
He refused nourishment and with each
recurring day we thought we saw his little
life ebbing away. When | was away my
wife watched over his little cradle with
an aching and almost disconsolate heart.
The little thing slept but little. Life was
fast waning and seemingly there was no
hope for us but to await the inevitable.
One night as was hurrying homeward
with a heavy heart, a friend approached
me and asked what was worrying me. |
BOLD him of the situation at home. 'Well,'
he said, have you never tried Owens
Pink Mixture?' l told him l had never
Sheard of it, having recently moved to
Owensboro. He told me to wait a minute
and he would go to the laboratory and
. bring me a bottle. l was willing to try
anything. Still, l had little 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- @a ything. She began giving the
tmedicine at once, disseminating the medi-
cine prescribed by the doctor. To our
utter amazement the child grew quiet in
less than six hours after the first dose had
been administered. Before morning he had
passed into gentle sleep, AS we sat by
his bedside through the long and weary
might've thought we could see great signs
of improvement.
ITO make long story short--in less
than ten days our baby had fully recovered.
He grew fat, healthy and strong. Both OF
us attribute his living to-day to the efficacy
of Owens Pink Mixture. We are never
without it. We have used some six on
eight bottles of it. Our baby loves it. He
begins to e with delight whenever he
sees his er reach up and take down

through teething and had but little

Mix has in my family. l know, too,
that it has had some very desirable effects
on grown people who are affected with
bowel trouble. 1t is a pleasure to me to
testify to its merit and think it should be

allays irritation and makes teething easy.
