A BARBARoUs SURGICAL OPERATION
For The Cure of Piles.

Is not only intensely painful, danger
Gus to life and very expensive, but in the
light of modern medical research and
science the discovery Of the Pyramid
Pile Cure surgical operation is wholly
unnecessary. If You have any doubt on
this point kindly read the following let
ters from people VINO know that our
claims regarding the merits of the
Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out by the
facts.
From N. A. Stall. Ridge Road, Mag
ara Co., y. Y: 1 received your Pyramid
Pile Cure and tested it last night. II
did me more good than anything 1 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 mas done me so much good in SO
short a time that my son-in-1aw, Capt.
T. J. Klein, of Fort Smith, Ark, has
written me for your address as ne
wishes to try it also.
From a. E. Townsend, Benvil.e, Ind:
1 have been SO much benefited by the
Pyramid Pile Cure that ! enclose 81 for
which please send package which 1
wish to give 10 a friend OF mine who
suffers very much from piles.
From John II. Wright, Clinton, De
Witt Co., Ills: I am so well pleased
with the Pyramid Pile Cure that l think
it bG. right to drop you few lines to in
form you its effects have been all that
could ask or wish.
From p. a. Burton, Llano, Tex: Cen
tlemen:-The Pyramid Pile Cure has
done so much good for me that I will
say for the benefit of others that after
using only two days L am better than
have been for months.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
The Pyramid Drug Co. of Albion, Mich,
and it is truly, wonderful remedy 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 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 sucn
general satisfaction.

MUSIC AND ORA ma
A GOOD ATTRACTION.


Seldom has there been a stronger
character delineated upon any stage
than that OF Claude Melnotie by Mr..
W. S. Hart in the performance Of "The
LADY OF LYONS" The Crawford Grand
contained a fair sized audience last
night which had the privilege Of seeing
one of the smoothest and best produc-
tons that has been in the opera house
for some time. The performance mer-
lied a packed house. Mr.. Hart possesses
remarkable dramatic uower and exeris
a wonderful influence over the audience.
His voice is very musical and melodious
and mis- enunciation is clear and pleas
ing. He is an artist and there is no
doubt but that he is one OF the coming
men OF the American stage. Mr.. Hart
mas certainly had the advantage OF
good training. He played with Booth
and Barrett. and later was MargareI
Ma.hers leading man. He was also
with Madam Modjeska and for three
years played the role Of Napoleon in
Madam R1ea's production Of Empress
Josephine" and last year appeared in
a leading role in Under the Polar
Star" The play last night was fine and
Mr. Harris support. with a few excep-
lions. was good. This afternoon al the
