PRAISE IS DUE.
A Story from Tennessee which IS the Equal OF

Columns Some Weeks Ago.
From the Herald, Columbia, Tsanessee.

Many and variou3 are the discussions Of
the 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 i'll 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 u
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 "man
in the case" this Umc, and man, too, that
thinks he is the newest Kind of "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 few weeks ago
statement of the miraculous cure of Mr.. J.
NJ. Foster, of Carter's Creek, now one Of the
Herald's 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.
pie who were eye.witnesses of his bodily suffer.
ing and who know what Mr.. Foster stated 10
be true beyond peradventurc of doubt
it was read by others, also, who believe il
just the same as if they, too, had seen all, be.
cause Mr.. Foster is well known over the
country to bc man of unimpeachablc vera.
city.
So strong is his belief in tho DR.. Viii.
liams' Pills, he has influenced number of
other people to use them, and all have be.
came US new persons.
One of the number is young man of
Southport, Maury County, Tennessee, Mr..
N. +. Murphy. lie is only twenty.one years
old, and being of rather delicate constitu.
tion. has been afflicted the greater part of
his life.
Young Murphy says. he verify believes
that very few people Of any age or cline
have been called 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 was attacked with o
severe spell Of Ia grippe, which affected me
very much. However, with the summer
before me- I gradually grew better until
considered myself nearly we'll, when in
September following was prostrated by an
attack of biliousncss.
took the medicine administered by our
family physician and was soon on foot again,
though with large amount Of malaria in
my system. Being in low state of health
was troubled oil winter with dreadful
colds and coughs.
"The following spring I was again at.
tackled with another severe case of bilious.
ness, and only rallied in part from this spell
when, at the suggestion of some of my friends,
! 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.

fects of an abscess when was quite small.
As result expectoration begun and grew
worse until May, 1894.
