VOL IX 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. INAUGURATION Os President Elect McKinley March 4. 1897. Reduced rates via Southern Rail way.

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.

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.— Chattanooga Times. Did You Ever Try Electric Bitters as a remedy for you troubles?

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.
