It would be nn exaggeration in say that any one mail knew every other mnn in this oounty, but it may safely he snid that few, if any, can eome nearer to it thnn Mr. Joe M.

It was a peculiar nlllietion iio had, and his cure was murvellous, his recovery n nine teenth century miracle. And that others may enjoy the blessings of the wonderful medicine which beyond the neradventurc of a doubt—under God's blessing—saving his life, Mr. Foster—not desiring publicity but with the hope of doing good lias eon* vented to tell of his sickness and his cure. It was in the full of 1KHL’ lie was taken ill. lie was a farmer then, and hud spent theduy exposed to the weather and working in the field, und for five hours was in the mud, in a stooping position. In a few days thereafter ho had a peculiar feeling in 1'iis feet nnd hands; they became numb and fell us if asleep. Hut, perhaps, It would he better to let Mr. Foster tell his own experience, and this is what lie says: ” Following the numbness of my feet nnd hands, tlint numbness spread until niv whole body was paralysed. I had a dreadful con striction around niv body, and as I grew worse this extended up.' cutting off my breathing; it finally got within n few inches of my throat and it was with difficulty <hut I breathed at nil. At irregular intervals I hail lightning pains throughout niv entire body and limbs, nnd for at least five months I was perfectly helpless, and a man servant was kept in my room day and night to (urn me in bed and wait upon me. ‘‘In the earlier part of my illness niv feet felt as if I was walking hare-footed on a still carnet. Soon I could not walk at all in the dark, and could not even stand alone with iny eyes shut. I rapidly grew worse, and goon my limbs refused to carry me. Finally I lost my sense of feeling dr touch, and could not tell when my feet were against each other, but felt nil the while as if they were being pulled apart. "In tlie beginning I had called in niy family physician, a very successful practi tioner. He nut me on a treatment, with in- ftructions to keep very quiet. But 1 contin ued to grow worse, and in about six weeks he told me, candidly and honestly, that lie laid sni done his best, that he had also advised with as •ome of Columbia’s lending physicians, giv- ofweiikn I Ini n for „li more and lon_ , , years, and attribute my healtli and my recovery ami life to magic of Pink Pills for P ' “ the blessing of God.

Not ‘‘drunkard,’ but ’’drunkards.” It would bo dull work to sing that sung solitary and hlono. It is gonurally a chorus. They are in groups. On that downward way there must bo companionship. Here and there is a man so mean ns always (o drink nlouo, but generous men, big hearted men, drinking at bar or in res taurant or in olubhouso, feel mortified to take the beverage unaccompanied. There must be some one with whom to olick tho rim of tho glasses, some one’s health to propose, some sentiment to toast. There must bo two, and still bet ter if four, and still better if six, to givo zest to the song of tho drunkards. Those who have gone down could mention the name of at least one who helped them down. Generally it is some one who was a little higher up in social life or in financial resources. Our friend felt flattered to have an invitation from one of suporior name. Each one drank not only when he felt like it, but when tho other felt like it. Neither wunted to seem leaking in sociality when ho was invited. 80 a hundred thousand men every year are treated into hell. Togeth er me they manacled of evil hnbit; to gether they travol toward their doom; together they make merry ovor the row ardico or Puritanical sentiment of those wlio never indulge; together they join their voices in tho song of the drunk ards. If the one proposes to stop, the other will not lot him stop. When men are getting down themselves, they do not want their associates to turn back. Those who turn baok will bo the scoff anti caricature of those who koop on, and there will bo conspiracy to bring •hem hack to their old places and their old environment and so have them ro- new tho song of tho drunkurds. Thero was a tragedy in Now York, September, 1H45. A man of marvelous naturnl gifts had, after arriving from his homo in England, fallou into dissipated hab its, and being a flue singer us well us impersonator entertained many a bar room group nt Newburyport, Boston twnl New York, hut by the graoeof God and tho kindness of one Joel Stratton had been rescued and took tho platform for temperance and moved vast audi ences toward a bettor life. A Glass of "Soda.” "Destroy him!” said some of his old associates, and they sot a trap for his feet. “How do you do, Mr. Gough?’ said some ouo on the streot in Now York. Ho pretended to he an old ao quaintanoe nnd snid, ”1 suppose you arc so piouH now aud lnivn got to Iio so proud that you will not drink a gloss of soda water with an old shipmate "Oh, yes, ” said Mr. Gough, “I will drink a glass of soda water with any body. I will drink a glass with you. They weut down Chambers street to Chatham street and into a place whero ’’Best Soda” was announced at tho door. After somo delay there was hand ed to him a glass of soda water said to be flavored with raspberry; but, alas, it was rum, that flew to his bruin and seut liim through the street uu insauo man, aud woeks passed before he came to himself aud implored the pardon of tho Christian clmroh that he had join ed und resumed hiswondrouB career for God and righteousness. But all tho grogshops aud places of dissipation rang with merrimont nt the temporary dowu- foll. All tho grogshops und winecellurs of America took up with now voice aud now gusto and now enthusiasm and now diuholism the aong of tho drunk ards. There looms np in iny memory one of tho best and noblest friends I ever had. Ho hud been for 80 years a con sistent member of the ohuroh. I knew not that nt about 31 years of age he hud followed the sou and habits of ine briuoy had been fixed upon him. But, converted to God, he begau a new life. Yet it was n 80 years’ war against the old appetite. But about this struggle I know nothing until he was dead. While absent during my aummer vacation I received a telegram announcing his death und asking me to come und offl oiate nt his obsequies. I arrived nt tho moment the servioe was to begin aud had not muoh time to make inquiries about his last hours. In my remurks, without any limitations, I extolled his virtues while living und spoke of tho lieavouly raptures into which ho iind entered.
