Mr. John W.Thomaa, Jr., of Thta,Ti-nn.,
Is a man with a moid lnlornttlnir hlnlory
At proaent he Is lnln-std In bloodnd horsr,
for whh'h Maury County It fnmoiit.
"r'nw people, I take It," snl I Mr. Thomss
tosroportar who had naked him for the
ttory of his llfo, "hnvn pnsaeil throonh as
ramarkntile a chain of aventa as t have and
remained nllvfl to tell the ttory.
"It was along In ISR4, when I wns working
In th sliver mint of New Mexico, that my
Iroulilm bmran i nt find I suffered with In
donation, and so acute did tho pains he
come that I went lo California for my health,
but the trip did me little (tool, and fully Im
pressed with the Idea that my last day had
nearly dnwnej upon me, I hurried back here
to my old home to die.
"From simple Indigestion my malady de
veloped Into a ehronle Inability to lake any
tuhatnnllnl fool, I was barely able to creep
about, and at times I wns prostrated by
spells of heart palpltnllon Thlt condition
continued until one yearngo.
"Onthellth of April, 1H93, I sullenly
collapsed, and for day I was unoooclou,
Intact I wns not fully myself until July. My
condition on Hepinmber lHt was simply hor
rible; I weighed but seventy pounds, whereas
my normal weight Is Ifil pounds. All over
my body there were lumps from the sine of a
grape to the slso of n walnut, my fingers
were unimpe I so thut 1 could not morn than
hslf straighten them. I had entirely lost
control of my lower limbs an I mv nnnd
trembled o that I could not drink without
spilling the llqul I. Nothing would remitti
on my stomach, and It aeumed that I mut
dry up hetoro many more days had pamed.
"I made another round or the phj-alolana,
calling In one after the other, and by the alii
of morphine and other mellelnee they gave
me, I mtinugod to livelhough barely thiough
the inn."
Here Mr. Thomm dlplnyed his nrms, nnd
hint nhove the elhow ot each there win a
Inrge irregular at:tlu a large an the pnlm of
the hnnd and oi a purple color the apace
covered by the mark wan ounken nearly to
the bone. " I hat," sikl Mr. Thomaa, "is
what the doctors did by putting morphlnu
Into me.
"On the 11th of December, 193. Jut eigh
monlba after I took permanently to bed It
hull never forget tin date my' cousin, Joe
Foster, of Carters' Creek, called on mo nnd
gave me a box of Dr. Williams' l'lnk rills
for Pule People, anyitig they had cured him
of partial p:iralsla, with which 1 knew he
had nil but died. 1 followed his directions
nnd begun taking the medicine i aa a result I
stand before you to-day the most surprised
man on earth. Look at my haud, it Is ii

have galued thirty pounds, aud I am atlll

Irom my body exempt this little kernel here
In my palm. I have n good nppetita nnd I
am almost ns stroug us I ever wns.
"Yesterday I roilo thiny-eeven mllea on

1 used to have Itom :wo to lour simile ot

I know positively that I was cured by
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, ant I believe firm
ly thrit It It the moat wonderful remedy In

Many of tho disputes which arias
between buyer unci seller are duo to
the fact that Id making a contract
the terms tiro not clearly understood.
In bo common a runtter as the buylnir
unci selling of got Us It Is necessary
that all points relative to the trans
action thou:d be definitely stated.
Some houses state distinctly on their
hill heads the terms on which sales
are made, so that the buyer la com
pelled to recognize the terms.
There are many other contracts
which come up In the course of busi
ness which need a clearer understand
ing than the act of buying goods. It
is Important that both parties should
thoroughly understand the transac
tion, 'ihere are publications devoted
to contracts In which forms are given,
but many of these legal forms seem
better devoted to obscuring than
clearing tip mutter, lu all transac
tions It Is nerc-oary to come to a
point and have thut point clearly un
derstood. Long arguments ure not
necessary, and tho whole tendency of
modern trade Is to put thing on a
basis of brevity. It Is advlsab'e to
make written memorandum of
agreements, for It will always lo In
evidence and savo many future dis
putes. Tho rierpo it's Trick.
The power of continuing motion

treme ciimciutlott and wenkness.
Iloyoti dotiht that hundreds of such crises
reported to us as cured by " Ooldcn Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take,
our word for It. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home pltyHclnns,
who have no Interest whatever "in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudice J and advised against
n trinl ol "lloldeii Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative- power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and Its filthy "emulsions" nnd
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene
fit, or had only seemed to benefit ". little for
a short time, lix tract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypo
phnspl'iic had ulso been faithfully tried
in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, athtna. chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of ioo
pages which will be mailed to you, on
receipt of address and six cents in
stamp-. You can then write to those who
have been cured and profit by their ex
perience. Address for Hook, Wost.n's DlSPF.NSABV
