years and have been confined TO my bed
about one-half of the time expecting and
wishing for death. for the pain was so great.
/ went to the college here and the doctors
said my case was a new one to them, the
great pain having brought on u large rup-
ture, which they wanted seven hundred
dollars to cut out. 1 was very much afraid
that death would result from the blood
poisoning which they said would result
from the operation. l feel as though [
can't praise the Pyramid Pile Cure and the
Pyramid Pills too highly. as 1 am con-
WINGED that they saved my life. Before

the weather map shows that the rain or
snow belt extends as far south as Florida,
as far west as Kansas. and as far north as
