l BLRBlROUS SURGICAL 0PERL 4l0I
For the Cure Or Piles

Is not only intensely painful, danger
Gus to life and very expensive, but in
the light of modern medical research
and since the discovery of the Pyramid
Pile Cure surgical operation is wholly
unnecessary. If you have any doubt
on this point kindly read the following
letters from people who know that our
claims regarding the merits of the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure are borne out by the
facts:
From n A. Stall, Ridge Road, Mag
ara Co., N. Y: received your Pyramid
Pile Cure and tested it last night. 1t
did me more good than anything / have
ever found yet, and remember this was
the result of one nights treatment only.
From Penn w. Arnett, Batesville,
Ark: Gentlemen-Your Pyramid Pile
Cure has done me SO much good in so
short time that my son-in-law, capt.
T. J. Klein, of Fort Smith, Ark, has
written me for your address as he
wishes to try it also.
From A. E. Townsend, Benville,
Ind: l have been so much benefited
by the Pyramid Pile Cure that I en-
close 81, for which please send pack
age which I wish to give to a friend

piles
From John H. Wright, Clinton, De-
Witt Co., H.: I am so well pleased
with the Pyramid Pile Cure that think
it but riant to drop you few lines
to inform you its effects have been all
that l could ask or wish.
From P. A. Bruton, Liano, Tex:
Gentlemen: The Pyramid Pile Cure
has done so much good for me that
will say for the benefit of others that
after using only two days | am better
th1n | have been for months.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
by The Pyramid Drug Co., of Albion,
Mich, and it is truly wonderful rem
edy for all forms of piles. So great has
been the number of testimonial letters
received by them from all parts of the
country that they have decided to pub
lish each week a number of such let
tiers, and never use the same letter
twice, but only fresh letters will be
published.
All druggists recommend the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, as they know from
what their customers say that no rem
edy gives such general satisfaction.

Major w. H. Bixby, who is on his

best means of procuring pure water He
said that the health report of the resi-
dents along the south Atlantic coast
had been brighter ever since
the artesian we'll system had been
discovered in that locality. The first
well was sunk on that coast about 1882,
and at the present time there are thous-
ands of these water producers planted

Yesterday a number Of people who
have held the old Johnson leases on
some very valuable farms in the
southwest extension of the Elk Fork
oil territory, made compromise with
the South Penn Oil Company to have
the territory operated. The territory
mentioned comprises the farms of Is
rael Folger, Marion Folger, George
Harris, Mary Harris, and the McGin-
mis- farm. The farms mentioned COM
prise a tract of about 400 acres, and
the compromise is of such a nature
that the South Penn and the people
interested will operate it together on
percentage.
The territory mentioned above is
some of the best in that part Of the
field, and there is not the least doubt
but that some fine wells will be
drilled in on it. The South Penn have
a rig started on the Israel Folger
farm, and several locations on the
other farms have been made. All of
the wells located will be drilled at
once and it will only be a matter of
thirty days before there will be some
valuable additions made to the al
ready good producing territory in that
section.
Treat & Crawford have very bad
fishing job at their No. 2 on the Far
rell lease, in the southwest extension
of the Elk Fork pool, and have decided
to move the rig and start new hole.
Brenneman & Co. are rigging up
their No. on the Eddy and will COM
mence drilling in couple Of days.
The Hill Oil Company's No. on
the Hill 100-acre tract, will be due, in
the sand the latter part of the week.
This well is located only a short dis
tance from their No. l on this farm
and will no doubt be good producer.
Nearly all the wells which were
shut down on account of no water dur
ing the past three weeks, have been
able to start again on account of the
rain which has fallen during the last
couple of days, and business in all OF
the fields is much more brisk than it
has been for some time.
Treat & Crawford are rigging up
their No. on the Farrell, and the
South Penn has made three locations
on the Reed farm.

Mr.. Charles Glenn, of 1868 Dudley ST.;
Cincinnati, is one of the many who
constantly praise S SIS. for giving him
back his health. He says:
"From childhood I was afflicted with
a terrible blood disease, and have
taken almost every blood remedy on the
market, but my case was deepseated,
and one by one they failed. The large,
red b1otches increased in size and num-
Der, and soon covered my entire body.
"My parents had me treated by a num-
Der Of physicians, but the disease was
too much for them, and after their tenn
porary relief was over, I found myself
growing steadily worse. Thus I grew
into manhood, handicapped by a terrible
disease. and having tried so many rene
dies without relief, when a friend urged
me to take SIS S. 1 had little faith in any
medicine. I was happy to find, however,
that I had at last gotten the right remedy,
for bottle of SIS did me so much
good that I soon had hopes of being cured.
I continued the remedy, and was cured
completely, the unsightly spots soon
disappeared, leaving my skin perfectly
clear. My general health was also built
up, and I am robust and strong. I be-
lieve SIS. will cure the worst case of
blood poison in the world"
SIS. is a real blood remedy, and will
cure the most obstinate cases of Cancer,
Eczema, Catarrh, Scrofula, Rheumatism,
Contagious Blood Poison, old sores,
or any disease caused by impure blood.
