A MAN WITH A HISTORY. 
THE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE THAT BEFELL 
.lOHN AV. THOMAS, OF THETA, TENN. 
Afflicted with a Peculiar Disease. His 
Body Covered with Lumps. Could not 
eat and Thought he was going to dry 
tip. Els Recovery the Marvel of 
Tennessee. 
[From the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner.] 
Mr. John W. Thomas, Jr., of Theta, 
Tenn., is a man with a most interesting 
history. At present he is interested in 
blooded horses, for which Maury County 
is famous. 
“Few people, I take it,” said Mr 
Thomas to a reporter who had asked 
him for the story of his life, “have 
passed through as remarkable a chain of 
events as I have and remained alive to 
tell the story, 
“ It was along in 1884, when I was 
working in the silver mines of New Mex¬ 
ico, that my troubles began; at first I 
suffered with indigestion, and so acute 
did the pains become that I went to Cali¬ 
fornia for my health, but the trip did me 
little good, and fully impressed with the 
idea that my last day had nearly dawned 
upon me, I hurried back here to my old 
home to die.

“From simple indigestion my malady 
developed into a chronic inability to take 
any substantial food. I was barely able 
to creep about, and at times I was pros¬ 
trated by spells of heart palpitation. 
This condition continued until one year 
ago. 
“ On the lltb of April, 1893, I suddenly 
collapsed, and for days I was unconscious; 
in fact I was not fully myself until 
July. My condition on September Ist, 
was simply horrible, I weighed but 70 
pounds, whereas my normal weight is 
165 pounds. All over my body there 
were lumps from the size of a grape to 
the size of a walnut, my fingers were 
cramped so that I could not more than 
half straighten them. I had entirely 
lost control of my lower limbs and my 
hands trembled so that I could not drink 
without spilling the liquid. Nothing 
would remain on my stomach, and it 
seemed that I must dry up before many 
more days had passed. 
“ I made another round of the physi¬ 
cians, calling in one after the other, and 
by the aid of morphine and other medi¬ 
cines they gave me, I managed to live, 
though barely, through the fall. ” 
Here Mr. Thomas displayed his arms, 
and just above the elbow of each there 
was a large irregular stain as large as 
the palm of the hand and of a purple 
color; the space covered by the mark 
was sunken nearly to the bone. “That,” 
said Mr. Thomas, “is what the doctors 
did by putting morphine into me. 
“On the 11th of December, 1893, just 
eight months after I took permanently 
to bed—1 shall never forget the date— 
my cousin, Joe Foster, of Carter's Creek, 
called on me and gave me a box of Dr. 
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, say¬ 
ing they had cured him of partial paraly¬ 
sis, with which I knew he had g,ll but 
died. I followed his directions and be¬ 
gan taking the medicine, as a result I 
stand before you to-day the most sur¬ 
prised man on earth. Look at my hand, 
it is as steady as yours; my face has a 
healthy look about it; I have been at¬ 
tending to my duties for a month. Since 
I began taking the pills I have gained 30 
pounds, and I am still gaining. All the 
knots have disappeared from my body 
except this little kernel here in my palm. 
I have a good appetite and am almost as 
strong as I ever was. 
“ Yesterday I rode 37 miles on horse¬ 
back ; I feel tired to-day but not sick. 
I used to have from two to four spells of 
heart palpitation every night, since I be¬ 
gan the use of the pills I have had but 
four spells altogether. 
“I know positively that I was cured 
by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and I be¬ 
lieve firmly that it is the most wonderful 
remedy in existence to-day, and every 
fact I have presented to you is known to 
my neighbors as well as to myself, and 
they will certify to the truth of my re¬ 
markable cure.” 
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo¬ 
ple are not a patent medicine in the 
sense that name implies. They were 
first compounded as a prescription, and 
used as such in general practice by an 
eminent physician. So great was their 
efficacy that it was deemed wise to 
place them within the reach of all. They 
are now manufactured by the Dr. Wil¬ 
liams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, 
N. Y., and are sold in boxes (never in 
loose form by the dozen or hundred, and 
the public are cautioned against numer¬ 
ous imitations sold in this shape) at 50 
cents a box, or six boxes fos S3.50, and 
may be had of all druggists or direct by 
mail from Dr, Williams’ Medicine Com¬ 
pany.— Adv. 
Centrifugal Whirlers. 
The U. S. Centrifugal Cream Separator for dairy 
use is the leader in that class, as the factory size U. S. 
machine leads in that size of Separators. 
Its thorough skimming. 
Simplicity of Construction, 
Pull Capacity Claimed, 
, Excellent Workmanship, 
Kasily give it first place. 
The devices by whicli the 
centrifugal force is applied 
to our 
Xysters 
together with the manner of construction, make them 
the best Testers on the market. We furnish them to 
run by steam motor or by hand power.

PREMIUM GOODS. 
No goods sold except in combination with a renewal or a new subscription, or 
in advancing a subscription already paid in advance. Any article can be secured 
without money as premiums for a club of new subscriptions. Hut it should be 
remembered that we offer new cash terms to club raisers that are more liberal than 
any ever before offered by any other responsible paper. 
It is also well to remember that, until July 1, new subscriptions will be received 
for the rest of this year for 50 cents, and two such names count as one yearly 
on any of our offers. We have secured special manufacturers’ prices on all the 
goods we offer as premiums, and the prices, including the year’s subscription to 
The Rural, are less than the same quality of goods can be purchased for at retail. 
Hence the purchaser gets goods at a discount, and the paper practically free 
besides. The goods are all first class, and warranted to be as represented. 
The Red Jacket Potato 
Sprayer. 
We are surprised to find that this is 
one of our premiums that has not yet 
been called for ; but this is just the sea¬ 
son for it. Don’t let the bugs eat up your 
potatoes this year for want of a sprayer, 
when you 
can get one 
The Champion Milk Cooler. 
You need a milk cooler, don’t you ? 
You certainly do if you own one or more 
cows. Some of your neighbors need The 
Rural New-Yorker, too. Don’t they ? 
They certainly do unless they are all now 
taking it. Well, here is a chance to do 
a double good—kill two 
birds with one stone, as the 
^^—’ with so little old folks say. We offer this 
1 trouble, and for a club of 12 new sub- ^

neighbors a get in a few hours. Get as Jj/l'' 
kindness be¬ 
sides. The first favor comes from in¬ 
ducing them to take The R. N -Y,, and, 
besides, you can loan them the sprayer. 
You see how it works : No load to carry. 
Just load up the tank, and wheel it along 
like a wheelbarrow. It will do the rest. 
You can spray acres in a day with it 
and not be tired at night either. Now, 
how many new subscriptions can you 
send us for it ? That’s the question. 
Answer quick.

Dodge’s Milk Strainer. 
This is one of the best utensils we ever 
had in our dairy. We would pay $5 
for it rather than go without it. The 
strainer is made in three 
layers, which are easily 
taken apart, and are 
readily put in place 
again after being clean¬ 
ed. They are as easily 
washed when apart as a 
tea saucer. Price, with

names.

Spraying Crops. 
(Second edition, by Clarence M. Weed). 
This is just the time you want to know 
all about spraying crops. This book has 
just been revised and brought down to 
date. It tells you in a plain, practical 
way why, when and how to spray. The 
feeding habits of insects, and fungous 
diseases, are fully treated. Price, paper,

of the year, and you will have this cloth

new subscriptions for a year with $2, or
