THINK THIS OVER.
4 Rational Remedy for a National
Trouble,


To say that hemorrhoids or the disease
commonly known as piles is national dis
ease may be slightly overdrawn, but it is
quite certain that at least one in every
four persons is so afflicted.
Because it is common and not imme-
diately fatal many suffer for years without
giving the trouble any medical attention.
Moreover, the rather general impression
that a surgical operation is the only cure
has much to do with delaying attention un-
til the disease becomes deep seated and
chronic
Sufferers from piles should know that
the Pyramid Pile Cure is better than a
surgical operation it cures without pain;
it causes no detention from business, and
the cost is trifiing. All druggists sell it
at so cents per package.
The astringent effects of the acids in the
Pyramid Pile Cure speedily contracts and
restores to their natural condition the
blood vessels OF the affected parts, and as
it quickly dissolves in the rectum. the
remedy soothes and heals the irritated
surfaces. and these two things are the only
necessary requirements for cure.
The principal danger from piles is the
liabilities TO chronic liberation of the rec
tai tissue, and nervous exhaustion from
loss of sleep and attendant pain and irri-
tation. All these symptoms the Pyramid
quickly relieves, and the fact that it is
the most popular and widely sold of any
pile cure is quite conclusive evidence of
thorough merit. II you suffer from bleed
ing. itching, or protruding piles try a so
cent package tonight. Ask your druggist
for Pyramid Pile Cure.

Mrs. Carter, the Granddaughter, the
Principal Witness for the
Coutestaufs Yesterday,

Alexandria, March 31.-Comparatively lit
tie progress was made in the Daingerfield
contested will case, on trial in Judge
Nicol's court, today. The last witness left
the stand at noon and court took recess
until 430 O'Clock TO enable counsel to pre-
pare instructions which they desired the
court TO submit to the jury. The first wit
ness examined this morning was K. KEN
per He identified his signature as a
notary public TO a deed executed by Mrs.
Elizabeth DaingerfeId. This acknowledg-
ment was made in 1896; he was not positive
as to whether or not he had read the pa
per TO the testatrix. He had frequently
seen the testatrix and served her as a
notary, but had never noticed any change
in her mental faculties.
The second witness was Mrs. Sallie Car
ter, eldest grandchild of Mrs. Eliza Dain-
gerfeld, the testatrix Mrs. Carter occu-
pied & seat next to Mr. johnson, one of
her attorneys, and exhibited nervousness
throughout the rigid examination TO which
she was subjected. Her answers, however,
to the numerous interrogations were readi-
Iy and intelligently given. The witness
stated that she was married November 26,
1886. She told of her home life in Alex
andria and those who had resided at the
home Of her grandmother In this city prior
TO her marriage. The testatrix was al
ways the head of the family and treated
everyone in the house kindly She had
never noticed any difference in the treat
ment OF the children of her mother and
those of her aunt Mrs. Virginia danger

with her grandmother up 10 the time of
her marriage. Testatrix had, in 1895, told
the witness of her intention of making a
will, and had showed the witness the mem
eIanda. The grandmother had had a spell
Of sickness prior TO her Uncle Henry's
death.
Referring to the memoranda, the witness
stated that the testatrix had questioned
her and her sister, Eliza, relative TO GER
tain pieces of silverware. They had Sc
lected certain articles which the testatrix
declined TO give them, stating that she
preferred 10 give them something better.
Her sister, Eliza, read the memoranda at
the request Of the testatrix, and sug-
gested some mistakes therein, but was rot
permitted to correct them, which the
grandmother herself proceeded TO do. The
witness had been advised that she and her
sister were to receive wedding presents
from their grandmother. She had not told
anyone of the will until after her marriage.
