BEDRIDDEN.
FIFTEEN YEARS OF SUFFERING.
The Doctors Wanted Seven Hundred
Dollars to Attempt the Case.

The following is a letter we received
a short time ago from Mrs NJ. C. Hink-
ley, COZ North Mississippi St. India
napolis, Ind:
Gentlemen:-While suffering intense
~ from piles, l became interested in
your advertisement in one Of our daily
papers and procured a package Of your
Pyramid Pile Cure from our druggist
Contrary to any expectations, the relief
was instantaneous l used two boxes
of the Pile Cure and one of the Pills
and am convinced that they are the
only sure cure for piles on the market
L have been a sufferer from piles for
fifteen years and have been confined
to my bed about One-haIf of the time,
expecting AID wishing for death for
the pain was so great I went to the
college here and the doctors said my
case was new one to them, the great
pain having brought on q large rup-
ture, which they wanted seven humid
red 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 1
feel as though 1 can't praise the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure and the Pyramid Pills
too highly, as I am convinced that they
saved my life. Before using your cure
L weighed only ninety pounds and now
I weigh one hundred and fifty and feel
as we'll as l ever did in my life. You
are at liberty to use this testimonial
in any manner you may see fit, as I
want all sufferers from this terrible
disease to know that there has at last
been compounded q remedyIsthat will
cure piles Mrs M c. Einklev.
There is no need Of the danger, pain
and expense of a surgical operation
for any form Of piles. The Pyramid
Pile Cure does the work without pain
and is the safest and best Remember
also that the Pyramid Pills are a GER
tain cure for constipation, acting with
OUT gripping and restoring natural action
to the bowels.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at so cents and $1.O0, and the
Pyramid Pills at 25 cents, or by mail
from Pyramid Co., Albion, Mich

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 3O-The course Of
the local wheat market today indicates that
the INCUBATION Of long wheat has ceased and
that turn for the better has come to oass
AL the opening today the sentiment was direct
~ opposite to that of yesterday There was a
rush to buy, not to sell. The last hour Of tbe
session yesterday impressed the bears will
me ldea that they were on the wrong side
oI the market, whose strength was entirely
legitimate and not built entirely Of specuIa
tive stories. The legitimate position Of wbaa +
mas not been impaired during the recent
decline. If anything it is stronger now Than
ever. The speculative position has not mn
proved much, but gives evidence of growing
strength. WINS

mares are most in demand with considerable
inquiry for general purpose horses for city
USE and some call for pinery horses and

the demand, and with all the conditions more
favorable to the buyer than the seller. Prices
rule low, and many snaps can be found
among the holdings of consignors anxious to
close out and go home. The following repre-
sentative sales are for service sound horses

has been fortified with from 500 to
$40 worth of good stable manure, on
a single acre, in a single year, and
this repeated annually for the past
twenty years.
At Arlington, near Boston, where
most of the lettuce is grown that sup
plies the cities of Boston, New York
and Philadelphia, the soil has been
MANFRED after that style for the past
$50 years. 1t would astOnish an ordi-
nary Florida farmer to go there and
see what crops that soil produces, and
how rapidly they grow. Two and
three crops of vegetables are grown
in a single season of open culture in
New England climate, and five crops
under glass in the year. A single
crop of lettuce under glass on our
highly enriched soil will fill just
three times as many baskets as the
best lettuce Florida growers get on
the same area under canvas, we grow
ms it closer together. And ours in
open culture (12x12 inches apart)
yields twice as many baskets as they
claim for their best crops in Florida
But in some parts of Florida there
are limited areas of land that pro-
duce very fine lettuce. If those To-

fertilizers beyond what most of them
have ever deemed it necessary, it is
possible these few may find the cul-
ture of lettuce fairly remunerative in
the future, provided, however, that
the lettuce infatuated farmers, who
have no suitable soil for lettuce, shall
subside, as to this crop, and leave the
