Something About
the Mm.”
HE BELIEVES IN PRAISING THOSE TO WHOM
PRAISE IS DUE,
A Story from Tennessee which is the Equal of
that of J. M. Foster Published in these
Columns Some Weeks Ago.
Many and various are the discussions of
tha “ new woman,” but most of the women
we've seen have no aspirations toward the
emancipation of their sex from any yoke
except the burdensome yoke of ill health.
They all seem to think—and think rightly—
that their proper field is their home, and to
work faithfully in this field she must be
strong and hearty. Care is peculiarly a
woman’s heritage. But it was not the “ new
woman ” or any other kind of woman that
we started out to talk about. It is a “man
in the case ” this time, and a man, too, that
thinks he is the newest kind of a “new
man.”
From what he tells us, he has good cause
to think so. There is no comparison between
his present state of feeling and that of two
years ago. But let the following speak for
itself. We published a few weeks ago a
statement of the miraculous cure of Mr. .J.
M. Foster, of Carter’s Creek, now one of the
Herald't men, from locomotor ataxia (a dis
ease said to be incurable), by the use of Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
The account was read by numbers of peo
ple who were eye-witnesses of his bodily suf-
Ing and who know what Mr. Foster stated to
be true beyond a peradventure of a doubt;
it was read by others, also who believe it
just the same as if they, too, had seen all, be
cause Mr. Foster is well known over the
country to be a man of unimpeachable vera
city.
.So strong is his belief in the Dr. Wil
liams' Pills, he has influenced a numbet of
other people to use them, and all have be
came as new persons.
One of tne number is a young man of
Southport, Maury County, Tennessee, Mr.
N. F. Murphy. He is only twenty-one years
old, and being of rather a delicate constitu
tion, has been afflicted the greater part of
his life.
Young Murphy says, he verily believes
that very fev people of any age or clime
have been cal’?d upon to endure the bodily
suffering which he has undergone.
In an interview with the Herald, he told
. us the following, which we give in his own
words:
“ Five years ago I wns attacked with a
severe spell of la grippe, which affected me
very much. However, with the summer
before me, I gradually grew better until I
considered myself nearly well, when in
September following I was prostrated by an
attack of biliousness.
“ I took the medicine administered by our
family physician and was soon on foot again,
though with a large amount of malaria in
my system. Being in a low state of health,
I was troubled all winter with dreadful
colds and roughs.
“The following spring I was again at
tacked with another severe case of bilious
ness, and only rallied in part from this spell
when, at the suggestion of some of my friends,
I resorted to various patent medicines for
relief, but without satisfactory results.
The malaria continued, and there was no end
to my taking cold, which at last began to
settle on my left lung, which was weak, in
asmuch as it had undergone the terrible es-1
sects of an abscess when I was quite small.
As a result expectoration begun and grew
worse until May, 1894.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS.
From the Herald, Columbia, Tennessee.
“Now comes the period in my sickness
which was to the last degree gloomy. Be
cause of the inactivity of my liver, I could
not eat anything that would agree with me,
and, to add to my already intense suffering,
i inflammatory rheumatism got mein its grip,
lit was dreadful. No one can imagine wha.
I agonies 1 suffered. In this condition I be
came as helpless as a bul>e, for I could not
raise a hand. 1 was considered to be on the
verge of the grave, and 1 despaired of my
life.
“ Deliverance came in this way: Through
the influence of Mr. J. M. Foster, a friend
of mine, I was induced to give Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale Pe pie a fair trial.
The result was simply marvelous. Within
two weeks after 1 began taking the pills, a
marked improvement in my condition was
to be noted. I steadily continued to im
prove until I reached my present state of
good health The hand of death was stayed
for the time being, and the grave cheated of
its victim.
“ All praise is due to Dr. Williams’ Pills.
Surely I gave them a fair trial, for I used
forty dollars (S4O) worth of them and ought
to know whereof I speak. 1 dowbt not that
the name of Dr. Williams will rank among
the foremost of the greatest ucncfactors of
the age.
“ This is submitted to rick and suffering
humanity.”
These cases will not seem so remarkable
if a body remembers that it is stated by men
of science t.<at the entire human body is re
newed once in every seven years. It is in
teresting to inquire how this can be accom
plished. Os course, it is readily understood
that the work of disintegration and decay
goes steadily on, but how are the wasted
particles resupplied ? It is by means of the
circulation of the I.mod. AH the nourish
ment which is taken into the stomach is
after digestion, received by the blood ami
ca.ried to every organ, tissue and fibre in
the body. This is a most important office,
and it is important that the blood which is
to do this work should be pure, rich and
healthy. Otherwise it will not only be un
able to fulfill its mission properly, but it
will scatter disease throughout the system.
Indeed, it is from impure blood that a
great majority of diseases originate, and it
is only by making the blood pure that they
can he cured. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People possess a building-up strengt 1 .-
giving power which make them just the
medicine for those who find themselves in
a weak and run-down condition, either as a
result of illness or because of impure or im
poverished blood.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
are considered an unfailing specific for
such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neu
ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the
after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the
heart, pale and sallow complexions, that
tired feeling resulting from nervous’pros
tration ; all diseases resulting from vitiated
humors in the blood, such as scrofula
chronic erysipelas, etc. They are alw> a
specific for troubles peculiar to females
such as suppressions, irregularities, and all
forms of weakness. In men they effect a
radical cure in all eases arising from
mental worry, overwork, or excesses of
whatever nature. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post
paid on receipt of price. 50 cents a box or

their own prosperity. This c-mdi

Billie Carter’s Coffin Shipped
Back to This City.
The widow of the late Billie Car
ter, the noted outlaw, killed by the
police last week, returned to the
city yesterday from Lavender, Ga.,
where she accompanied the body
of the desperado. The interment
took place Sunday.
Yesterday a queer consignment
reached the city from Lavender for
Chief <>f Poiice Fred W. Hill, being
the coffin in which Carter’s body
had been sent t> the father at Lav
ender. The Elder Carter was in
censed that his son should only
have been given a pauper’s coffin,
and stated that a Georgian, though
he was an outlaw, was entitled to a
decent burial. The pauper’s coffin
was therefore shipped back by ex
press and created somewhat a sen
sation wjien it reached the city. It
was turned over to the county eex
tou to do duty for some other un
fortunate.
It may be said that Chief Hill
had nothing to do with the furnish
ing the coffin, but that the body
had been turned over to the coro
ner, the chief after that having
nothing further to do with the
body. The coffin in which the body
was sent to Lavender was furnish
ed by the county authorities.—

A Just Tribute,
The time is rapdly coming when
there will be none to dispute that
Robert It. Lee stands as the great
est American soldier. On this line
the following is from a just and elo
quent tribute in the Washington
Post:
“He took into the first battle an
escutcheon as stainless as the mid
day sun. He sheathed at Appo
mattox a sword as bright as Ar
thur’s. There is no spot upon his
noble memory he left behind him
no cause of sorrow, bitterness or
resentment.
“All of us, North, South, East or
West, can be proud of Robert E.
Lee. Phan he there has been no
finer product of America. Gentle
as he was brave, chivalrous as he
was intrepid, unsullid of thought or
deed as he was indomitable cf spir
it, Robert E. Lee combined in him
self every quality that appeals to
the love, the reverence and admi
ration of mankind. Steadfastly,
loyally, thoroughly, he did his du-
ty as he saw it. What could man
more?”
