NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause of Sleoplessness That Can b
Readily Overcome

One cause OF Sieopiessness That Can BE
Readily Overcome.
Mr.. VIM. Handschu OF Forty-six:h
street, Cotton Alley, Pittsburg. Pa, ex-
presses himself as follows regarding the
new remedy for that common and obstin-
ate disease. piles: II take pleasure in
stating that I was so afflicted with piles
that for three months I got no regular
sleep; l became completely Frustrated. the
doctors did me no good; my brother told
me OF the new remedy for pies. the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure; l purchased from my
druggist three 50-cent boxes and they
completely cured me. 1 am once more al
my work. and but for this excellent med
icine l should be on my back. I take
great pleasure in writing this letter be-
cause 50 many people are sufferers from
this trouble who. like myself, did not
know where to look for permanent, re-
liable, 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 pies that il
is the safest and most effectual pile cure
ever offered to the public, containing no
opiates or poisons Of any kind, painless
and convenient to handle, and being sold
by druggists al 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 have not yielded TO other rem
edies for years.
There is scarcely disease more aggra-
waiting and obstinate to cure than the
various forms OF piles, and il is COM
mon practice TO use ointments. salves
and similar preparations containing dan
gerous poisons 10 remove the trouble. The
Pyramid has superseded all Of these In
effectual remedies, and no one suffering
with any rectal trouble viii make any
mistake in giving the Pyramid trial.
If in doubt as to the nature Of your
trouble, send to the Pyramid Drug Co..
Albion, Mich, for a valuable little book
on piles, describing all forms OF the dis
ease and describing the method of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid
Pile Cure as il is the best known and
most popular remedy for piles, and il you
ask him he can doubtless refer You to
many people in your vicinity who have
been cured completely by it.

when the city Of Brooklyn twenty years
ago passed an ordinance prohibiting the
Use of fireworks draped the front of his

was repealed. The elder man died, and
his son, Frank Coghill, succeeded TO his
business. and for years ran little shop
at No. AZ Bowery.
The place was never much to look at.
The lower floor, crowded with goods,
was frowsy and dusty. The floor above

in getting the small allowances that
their lean housekeeper demanded.
Mrs. Coghln supposed they were very
poor, but Miss Cohen knew better.
Coghill trusted Miss Cohen. She alone

away in the little old safe. He even
went so far as to intrust to her care q

MRS. SARAH ASHER. EDITOR.

Sometime ago, l formed one Of a party in
terested in an argument about the exist
ence OF thereafter an argument at
which the "pros'' and .cons' were very
earnestly discussed, and Mt which, L,
being myself a strong believer in the
promise OF so blessed future, used every
power of persuasion to convince the OPP
posite side, with no good results, I fear.
The subject has since, often, in my leisure
hours given food for reflection, when ac-
cidently, upon opening one of my maga-
zines the other day, piece of poetry
struck my view, which seemed to me so
suitable and convincing a reply, that
decided to reproduce it in this column: it
Is entitled Dying-Shall Man Live Again?
In dying, will the parting breath
Renew our life-is there no death9
Go ask it Of the winters snow.
Or OF the winds that fiercely blow.
Or ask 1t of the moaning seas,
Or of the naked, barren trees:
Or OF dead leaves, that withcred lie,
Where autumn saw them fall and die.
Ask OF the stars, that nightly CLEAN
Or ask II of the frozen stream
That in shroud, all glorious, white,
Lies buried thro' the wintry night.
This question of another birth,
Go ask it of old mother earth;
Ask it of her, when she receives.
The glory of the newer leaves.
Ask it Of Joyous birds that sing.
