Mr. Perley Sibley, Of Athol, Mass. has been
greatly afflicted with the Piles for 80 years past.
He stated 10 one Of the propretors of Hays
Linment, that he tried almost every thing that
had been recommended to him, aud had follow
ed the advice OF many physicians, but obtained
mo relief. Having seen Hays Eminent re-
commended in one of the papers, he was in
duced to try il, although he had little faith in
advertised nostrums. He has used one bottle,
which has given HIM great relief and almost
entirely cured him; he thinks one bottle more
will cure his complaint, and he recommends
alt who may be troubled with the piles to try
this remedy. October A, 1889.

until corn planting, fattened her as they would n

OF her. This they kept TO themselves. Two
days before the sacrifice, council OF so of
the warriors and head men Of the nation met
to see whether t,ey would accept the offers Of
two traders OF the American Fur Company, who
offered them very valuable presents if they
would release her to them that they might lei
her return home. But all would not do. A
majority of the council was for sacrifice;
of course those in favor of her release could do
nothing.
At the breaking up Of the council the prison

whole council was led from house to house,
when they gave her small bile, Of wood and n
little pnint, which she handed TO the warrior next

On the 22d April, she was led out TO be sacri-

did she con lecture her fate. They had chosen
the place between two trees which grew within
five feet of enclI other. They then made her
ascend three bars tied across from tree 10 tree.
and also tied one arm to each tree, her feet res

would just reach her feet. Two warriors then
mounted the bars, and there, standing one on

as il was all cut off from her bones in pieces not
larger than half dollar, and put it in baskets
all this was done before she was quite dead
Then the principal chiefs took piece oC the
flesh and squeezed it until drop of blood fell
upon the corn that was just planted and this was
done to all they had in the ground.
