A nARDAROUs SURGICAL OPERA
TT0N
For the Cure of Piles

is not only intensely painful, dangerous
10 life and very expensive but in the
light Of modern medical research, and
since the discovery &C the Pyramid Pile
Cure. a surgical operation Is wholly un-
necessary. If you have any doubt on
this point kindly read tho following let
tiers from people who know that our
claims regarding TIE merits Of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure are borne out by the facts.
From n A. Stall Ridge Road, Niagara
county. ~ Y: l received your Pyramid
pile cure and tested II 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.-YOu Pyramid Pile Cure has
done me so much good in so short
time that my scn-in-law. Captain T.
J. Klein, Of Fork Smith. Ark, has writ
ten me for your address, as he wishes
TO try II also.
From A. Il. Townsend. Benville. Ind:
have been so much benefited by the
pyramid. pile Cure that | enclose 81.
for which please send a package, which
7 wish TO give 10 a friend OF mine who
suffers very much from piles.
From John II. Wright. Clinton. De-
witt county, H.: l am so well pleased
with the Pyramid Pile cure tnat lhink
it but right TO drop you few lines, TO
inform you its effects have been all
that could ask or wish
From =. A. Bruton, Llano. Tex: Cen
tlemen,-The Pyramid Pile Cure has
done so much good for me that l VIII
say for the benefit of others that after
using only two days 1 am better than l
have been for months.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
the Pyramid Drug Company. of Albion.
Mich, and 1t is truly wonderful
remedy for all forms Of piles So great
has been the number OF testimonial let
tiers received by them from all parts
OF the country that they have decided
TO publish each week a number OF such
letters. and never use the same letter
twice. but only fresh letters will be
published.
All druggists recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure. as they know from what
their customers say that no remedy gives
such general satisfaction.

CAROLINA'S ELEVEN.
Preparing for the Game with yir-
ginia University.

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CARO-
LIMA, November Especial -To-day IS
the last day on which man may begin
play for the Thanksgiving game in Rich
mond between the University of Vir-
ginia and the University of North Caro-
lima football elevens. Each university
must forward to the authorities of the
other institution a certified list of can
didates for the eleven that is TO line
up on the gridiron in Richmond on the
18th instant.
The interest in the event has increased
daily, and at this time the Tarheels are
not as hopeful as week ago
Each days practice brings out some de-
feet, and shows the weak condition Of
the Varsity. Simmons, who has been a
most promising candidate for tackle
yesterday did not appear on the grid
iron for practice, and this morning ii is
announced that he will not go upon the
field again this season. The line will be
strong on the left side. but the right
may prove easy fruit for Cardinals OPP
posers. Behind the line Captain
Belden. at full back, is good punter.
and hits the line well. McRae. the right
half-back, is the star player of the team
and his work i'm aggre 'sive play will be
worth much to the Tarheels, Howell
or Buxton VIII probably play the other
half, and either will be a good second
for McRae.
The team leaves here tomorrow for
Nashville and Knoxville, Tenn. at which
points they play Vanderbilt University
and the University of Tennessee. This
will be the last trip before the Thanks
giving game, and Coach Reynolds, du-
ring this week, will strengthen the line
materially.
The death of young Cannon. of the
Georgia eleven, was greatly deplored
here. and will probably seriously affect
the future Of the sport I'm this university.
Mr.. Edward Kidder Graham, 1898, OF
Charlotte, from the Dialectic Society,
and Mr.. w. j. Brogden, of Goldsboro',
from the Phlanthropic Society, have
been elected TO represent the University
OF North Carolina in the annual debate
with the University of Georgia. This
year the debate will take place in Chapel
Hill.
President Alderman returned to-day
from an extended trip through South
Carolina and Tennessee
