Anti Mic
Have You Tried II?

Do you use tobacco? Do you
want to get cured! d. you have
sleepless nightsg Are you all run
down and don't know what ails you?
Tobacco is sapping the life out OF
more people today than all other
diseases put together. Why! you
spit your life away. The nervous
system becomes diseased, giving
Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Catarrll Of
the Stomach, Heart Disease, Loss
OF Memory, Blindness, Dimness OF
Vision, and many diseases Oft like
nature. In fact, it will bring on
all diseases flesh is heir to. IT'S
the starting point for immortality,
drunkenness, morphine and opium
habits. It is the curse of the boys,
laying the foundation of a life Of
misery and want. Mothers, have
you boy, o husband or brother
who uses tobacco? Do you want
them cured! Then praise God
from whom all blessings flow.
ANTI MIC is the life-saver OF all
who will faithfully follow the d.
rections. Why do we claim ANTI
MIC will cure you? Because it
acts directly on the blood, remov-
ing the poison from the blood; acts
directly on the liver and stomach,

Mr.. Webster went with Briggs to the

Briggs told him to sit down. In
about two or three minutes, Mr..
Webster moaned little which at
tracted Briggs attention and he saw
he was very pale and could not an

then placed him in an easy position
and ran up town (abont rs rods) and

DIES In THE CHAIR.
After a Long Fight for His Life
Bat Shea Is Electroouted.
Case Made Prominent by the Con.
fession of McGough. Who Claimed
He Was the Murderer.

Dannemora, N. Y, Feb. 11.-Barthol.
omew Shea was electrocuted at 9:5s
o'clock Tuesday morning. Shea was
brought into the death chamber at
9:55 a. IN. Sheu walked between Vicar
General Swift, of Troy, and Father
Belanger, of Dannemora. His face was
pale, but he walked firmly to the chair
and during the minute 1t took to affix
the straps he gazed calmly around
the room. His eyes were bright and
he looked more like spectator than
the victim of the awful tragedy about
to occur.
At 9:55 the current was turned on
and continued for one minute and
twenty-one seconds. When it was shut
off Shea was pronounced dead. The
highest voltage was 1880. This, how.
ever, was continued only IL seconds,
when it was reduced to $50 volts and
continued at that to the end.
The autopsy developed nothing out
OF the ordinary.
bartholomew Shea shot and killed Rob-
e't Ross on election day in the spring
OF 1894 at Troy, N. Y. William and Rob-

sentenced to 20 years Ia the penftentiary.
The case was carried to the court Of
appeals, where Shea was beaten upon the
unanimous verdict Of the court. Shea was
then resentenced to die during Christmas
week. Shea's wife and mother pleaded
reasonably with the governor to spare the
life Of the prisoner until after the Holt
days and the governor granted respite
until the second week in January. All
arrangements had been made at that time
for shea's death and the invitations t.

At this time McGough confessed that

A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT.
Itching Piles and other Rectal Troub
les Easily Cured by Pyramid
Pile Cure
A Remarkable Number Of Cures Made by the
Pyramid Pile Cure.

A Remarkable Number Of Cures Made by the
Pyramid Pile Cure.
About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and annoying is
itching piles, indicated by warmth,
slight moisture and intense, uncon-
trollable itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be ex-
pected from such superficial treat
ment.
The only permanent cure for itch
ing piles yet discovered is the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, not only for itching
piles, bn. for every other form of
piles, blind, bleeding or protruding.
The first application gives instunt re-
lief and the continued use for u short
time causes a permanent removal of
the tumors or the small parasites
which cause the intense itching and
discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time
supposed that the remarkable relief
afforded by the Pyramid Pile Cure
was because it was supposed to con-
tain cocaine, opium or similar drugs,
but such is not the case. A recent
careful analysis of the remedy showed
it to be absolutely free from any CO.
caiue, opium, or in fact any poison
Gus, Injurious drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile
Cure is probably the only pile cure
extensively recommended by. physic-
iaDs, because it is SO safe, SO prompt
in the relief afforded and so far as
known the only positive cure for piles
except q surgical operation.
In one year a Pyramid Pile Cure
has become the best known, the SAT-
est and the most extensively sold of
any pile cure before the public.
Nearly oil druggists now sell 1t at
so cts. and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Albion,
Mich, for book on cause and cure of
piles and also hundreds of testimonials
from all parts of the United States.
! If suffering FROM any form of piles
ask your druggist for package of
Pyramid Pile Cure and try it to. night
