NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause of sIeeplessness That Can
be Overcome.

~ ONNASOAAUa
Mr.. VIM Handschu of 18th St, Cotton
Alley, Pittsburg, Pa, expresses himself
as follows regarding the new remedy for
that common and obstinate disease, piles:
Il take pleasure in stating that l was so
afflicted with piles that for three months
! got no regular sleep; 1 became COM
pletely FRUSTRATED the doctors did me no
good; my brother told me of the new
remedy for piles, the Pyramid Pile Cure;
purchased of my druggist three so cent
boxes, and they completely cured me. I
am once more at work, and but for this
excellent remedy 1 would be on my back.
take great pleasure in writing this let
ter because so many people are sufferers
from this trouble, who, like myself did
not know where to look for a permanent,
safe, reliable cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
for 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 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 at soc. and 81 90 per box, is
within the reach of every sufferer.
Very often 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 va
rious forms of piles, and it is common
practice to use ointments, salves and sim
liar preparations containing dangerous
poisons to remove the trouble. The Pyra-
mid has superseded all of these ineffectual
and no one suffering with any
rectal trouble will make any mistake in
giving the Pyramid trial
If in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co,
Marshall, Mich, for a valuable 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 own vicinity who
have been cured completely by it.

Faith In Big Acreage.

Regardless of professed agricultural
creeds, majority of farmers have q
sneaking faith in big acreage rather
than in thorough tillage and extra
care in selecting seed. There is a
pronounced tendency to measure fu-
ture profit by number of acres planted.
The man who is in debt and wants to
make an effort to get out, or who
wants more income than usual for
any special reason, plans to break
ground for planting rather than give
more attention than usual to the nor
NAL number of acres. Is this not
correct statement of facts in the case
of a majority of us farmers? We trust
to favorable weather and ability to
get through the work in some shape.
planting more acres than usual and
figuring upon our average profit from
each acre. The professed belief in
thoroughness as the ture means of in
creasing the profit from farming is
and dependence is placed in
acreage. Farmers should be
honest with themselves and revise
their creed or change their practice

Never enough manure is made upon
the farm to meet all the needs of the
soil. Where the farmer lives near a
city or town he can often get fresh
manure for the hauling or a little
more. 1t is always safe to go on the
principle, in getting strange stable
manure, that it is full of weed-seeds
and to adopt measures to kill them.
Compost such manure in fiat piles, mix
ing with it a considerable quantity of
unslaked lime. AS soon as the pile is
made soak it thoroughly and cover it
with a blanket of dirt three or four
inches thick, slapping it down with a
spade. The lime will immediately
slake, generating heat which will kill
the seeds,the dirt covering keeping the
heat confined.-Farm and Fircside.
