"PERIAPs you would not think so,
but very large proportion of diseases
in New York comes from carelessness
about catching cold" says DIR. Cyrus
Edison. ut is such simple thing and
so common that very few people, un-
less it is case of pneumonia, pay any
attention to cold. There are great
many cases of catarrh and consump-
ton which have their origin in this
neglect of the simplest precaution of
everyday life. The most sensible adj
vice is, when you haye one get rid Of it
as soon as possible. BY all means do
not neglect it, DR.. Edison does not
tell you how to cure cold but we will.

THERE is more Catarrh in this Sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be consti-
tutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca.

Murder In Pocahontas County.

TO our valued contemporary, the
Staunton Daily Netos, we are indebted
for the following account Of the killing
of Ham Collins, which occurred in the
upper end of Pocahontas county, on
Saturday, the End:
Ham Collins, accompanied by Pc
ter Kramer, went last week to Beverly
for whiskey. They cam back on Fri
day, the End instant, by way of Cheat
bridge, and there remained until Sat
urday evening; while there Collins was
drinking and disposed of considera-
BILE quantity of his whiskey to the lum-
bermen. On Saturday evening, Collins,
Peter Kramer and another young man
named Collins started for home, and
while on the way man named Jasper
Warner overlook them and walked with
the party to where the difficulty took
place. They were all drinking freely
and Collins frequently made threats
against the Slaven boys, (Charles and
Grattan) and remarked treat every
body we'll > and turning to Warner
|
ways treated you all right Warner
said Yes, Ham, except that don t
think you treated me fair about that
meadow This remark seemed to en-
ragged Collins, and he ran at and knocked
Warner down, beat him, bit his nose
nearly off, and would probably have
killed him had not young Collins taken
| Ham off. This occurred within a few
hundred yards of Charles Slaven 'shouse

ter and FASTENED to the scene. While
on his way he met Warner, who was
too badly hurt to reply to any questions
10 Slaven went on to where Collins was
and asked HIM what the trouble was
Collins said | had fight with James
Warner. Just about this time Peter
Kramer came up and in rough way
asked Siaven if he wanted to take it M
for Warner. Slaven said: L did moi
come here to take it up, but am not ;
d-n bit afraid to do it, This remark
was followed by Collins and Kramel
jumping forward and grading the ritll,
which Slaven held in his hand. He
however, jerked loose and jumped dow
over the road a few feet then whirlc,
and fired two shots into Collins, boil
bullets entering under the left arm an,
coming out just under right arm pit
causing instant death. Slaven awaite,
the coming of the sheriff and went witt
, him to the jail without resistance"

that will effectually cure piles; plenty of
remedies give relief for a time, but as for
a lasting cure l had tried all the salves, To-
lions, ETC., without success. Six boxes of
tie Pyramid Pile Cure entirely removed all
traces of a case of piles of forty years stand

You may rest assured that the Pyramid
Pile Cure has no stauncher advocate than
myself.

use my name in any way you may see At,
in order that other sufferers may thus be
directed to what l feel certain will be a
speedy relief and cure.
The Pyramid Pile Cure gives instant re-
lief and a permanent cure in all kinds of
blind. bleeding, itching piles.
