The Story of the Sweeney Twin

The Story of the Sweeney Twins. From the Owensboro, Ky. Messenger.
 Most any pleasant summer evening as you stroll up Fourth street, in Owensboro, Ky, you will meet two little girls with rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes, with their little arms twined around each other, sauntering either up or down the street. They are twins, only four years old the pride of MT. and Mrs. A G.. Sweeney No two children ever wore brighter smiles or a healthier glow on their cheeks than do these two They are not only the pride of their parents but they are the prime favorites in the neighborhood. They dress alike and look pretty much alike They never know what it Is to be i'll these days though there was time when their little lives were despaired of.
 A little over two years ago, the pre- cious lives of these two little creatures seemed to have been ebbing away day by day Their parents sat by their bed- side with but little hope of ever seeing them wear the hue of health again. The mother had seen the physician come and go with but little hope. One evening an old lady of the neighborhood came over to console the Respondent parents in their deep affiction she incidentally in- sisted that bottle of Owens Pink Mkt ure be gotten and tried. MT. Sweeney went to the drug store immediately and procured bottle. No sooner had he re- turned than the directions were read aloud and then two doses measured out and administered to the two little pa- tients. By the time the second dose was given it was evident that relief was in store.
 MT. Sweeney can best tell of the merits of the medicine in his own language. Said he 'I never in my life saw such ex- celent results from any medicine in such a short time My wife and I had about given up all hopes of saving the two little girls. You know as they were our first born, you can imagine the grief and anxiety that was manifested during their illness. I admit that when I went for the first bottle, that I had no conf- dence in the medicine. I thought that both cases were hopeless. From the very first the little things were bad They began teething in warm weather, imme- diately their bowels became uncontrol- able. The family physician administered medicine in vain. It appeared to me that the children grew better from the very first dose. In a weak from the time the medicine was first administered they were getting along nicely. We kept up the medicine until the summer months had passed. In the early autumn I never saw two healthier children. My wife says that no one can say too much for Owens Pink Mixture.
 Well. our youngest child is boy and he, too. has experienced good effects from the medicine. No sooner than he began teething, than my wife put him on the medicine. Nothing but the most lleasant results followed. We had no trouble with him. He seemed to realize that the medi- cine did him good and was always willing to take it. We keep the medicine in our home always and give 1t in almost all cases of bowel trouble. Whenever any one begins talking around my wife about her children being i'll of powell complaints she does not hesitate to recommend Owens Pink Mixture. I am the same way. Too much cannot be said in It's behalf I must say that 1t is one of the medicines that does just what the proprie- tors says it will do."
