NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS
One Cause of SIeepIcssncss That Can
BE Readily Overcome.

Mr. William Handschu, of Fifty-sixth
street, Cotton alley. Pittsburg. Pa, ex-
presses himself as follows regarding the
new remedy for that common and obstinate
disease, piles: II take pleasure in stating
that I was so afflicted with piles that for
three months 1 got no regular sleep. / be-
came completely FRUSTRATED. the doctors
did me no good; my brother told me of the
new remedy for piles the Pyramid Pile
Cure. L purchased from my druggist three
50-cent bottles and they completely cured
me. / am once more at my work, and but
for this excellent medicine / should be on
my back. l take great pleasure in writing
this letter because so many people are
sufferers from this trouble, who. like N.Y.
self, did not know where to look for per-
manent, reliable, safe cure"
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
in the past three years has demonstrated
to the medical profession, as well as to
thousands of sufferers from piles, that it
is the safest and most effectual cure ever
offered to the public, containing no opiates
or poisons of any kind. painless and con-
venient to handle and being sold by drug
gists at so cents and 81 per box, is within
the reach of every sufferer
Very frequently two or three boxes have
made a complete cure of chronic cases that
had not yielded to other remedies for years.
There is scarcely a disease more aggra-
waiting and obstinate TO cure than the vari-
GUS forms of piles, and it is a common
practice to use ointments, salves and SINH
lar preparations containing dangerous poi
sons to remove the trouble. The Pyramid
has superseded all of these Intellectual
remedies. and no one suffering with any
rectal trouble makes any mistake in giving
the Pyramid a trial.
If in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co.. AL
bion. Mich, for a valuable little book On
piles describing all FORMS of the disease
and describing the method of cure
Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid
Pile Cure. as it is the best known and most
popular remedy for piles, and if you ask
him he can doubtless refer you to many
people in your vicinity who have been
cured completely by it.

STORIES OF THE TOWN.

Admiral Brown tells a good story. partly
at his own expense. Forty years ago, more
or less when he was a lieutenant in the
navy and home on a visit, he attended a
Sunday school picnic south of town, where
his family owned property 1t was what
they called union picnic, and there We're

midst of the amusements the manager came
to the lieutenant and said: Mr.. Brown. I

was the reply. WELL, said the manager.
the children have heard about you and
they would like to have you contribute to
the entertainment" The lieutenant said:
"All right shall l talk to them or what
would they like to have me do?' ''Well"
SAID the manager they would like to
you climb a tree This rather struck tha
prospective admiral amidships, but he was
equal to the situation. He said: We'll

up mast like monkeys, but L have been
ashore several weeks, wearing shoes all the

out of practice" The manager explained
the matter TO the children, and the lieuten-
ant was excused.

The drinking spouts at the monument
fountain will soon be replaced with bronze
buffalo heads. 1t was the architects inten-
ton TO make lions heads, and the change is
due TO General Fred Knefier, president of
the Monument Commission. AS the general
was lying awake one night it occurred to
him why should an Indiana monument be
decorated with the British lion or any other
Why not the buffalo, which is truly Ameri-
