Lost 50 Pounds at 61 Years of Age. The Cause —Malarial Fever —Patient • Prominent Man —How He Regained HU Weight. From the New Era, Greensburg. Ind. There is probably no man better known in Dearborn and Ohio counties than Mr. O. H. Miller, of Aurora, Ind., bookkeeper for Chambers, Stevens & Co., the large dry goods house. Mr. Miller was born and reared in Ohio county, where he spent 80 years in succession in public office. Three times he was the people’s choice for Auditor of the county and twice their choice for clerk. According to the law at that time the clerk or auditor could not be elected two terms in succession, four years being a term. He was first elected auditor, then clerk, auditor again, and clerk again, until he had been elected five times. This is the only instance of the kind ever known in the state. Becoming aged (he is 63) and broke down in health, Mr. Miller deemed it advisable to retire from public office. His health became very poor, and he went to Aurora to live with his daughter. About two years ago Mr. Miller was taken sick with malarial fever, and was confined to his bed five months; it was more than a year before he was able to get out. The sickness left him with rheumatism and catarrh of the stomach, which brought on palpitation of the heart. Time wore on, and ne did not get better, but grew worse. He was overcome with general debility, was all run down, his blood being poor and in a watery condition. Speaking of his case Mr. Miller said: “The longer my troubles ran on the worse they grew. Nothing seemed to benefit me. I kept continually getting worse. My suffering was unbearable, and being quite old, I probably succumbed more quickly to the effects. I suffered almost continual pain, being unable to eat a full meal or enjoy an entire night’s sleep since I was first taken with the fever. “I had fallen off fifty pounds in weight. I looked like a mere skeleton. During this time six physicians had attended me at different times, but none of them did me the least good, although two were specialists on such cases, from the city. They all said that I would never be benefited at all by anything; and it was useless for me to expect it. I felt that mv time had come,and my daughter,Mrs. P. P. Stultz, of Jeffersonville, came to spend my last days with me. My daughter’s husband, Mr. Stultz, has been superintendent of the Jeffersonville city schools for eight years. Their daughter, who had been quite low, had recently recovered by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, so she urged me as a last resort to try this medicine. I finally consented to do so. This was in August, 1895. I began taking the medicine at once, taking fourteen boxes, using the last about six months ago. After the first half dozen boxes I noticed a decided change, and when I had finished I could sleep well, and my appetite was good. There was a general improvement. My blood became new and nourishing, and now is in a good, healthy condition. 1 feel as well as ever, and I am sure I owe it all to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are not a patent medicine in the sense that name implies. They were first compounded as a prescription and used as such in general practice by an eminent physician. So great was their efficacy that it was deemed wise to place them within the reach of all. They are now manufactured by Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.Y., and are sold in boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or hundred, and the public are cautioned against numerous imitations sold in this shape) at 50 cents a box,or six boxes for &J. 50 and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’Med. Co. Foot Notes. The Tragedian—“ The press agent has written a glowing account of our western trip.” The Comedian —“Has he put in any footnotes?” “What do you mean by foot notes?” “Describing the way we got home.” —Yonkers Statesman.
