PHYSICIANS DECEIVED.
SkepticaI ut First Regarding the
value of the New Pile Cure.

NnIue of the New Pile Cure.
MANY physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remari .ar,e relief afforded
bv the Pyramid pile Cure wcs because they
supposed il to contain cocaine, opium. or
similar drugs but such is rot the case. A
recent careful analysis of the remedy shows
IL 10 he absolutely free from cocaine.
opium or in fact any poisonous. injurious
drug whatever II was found 10 contain
only healing antiseptics and soothing oils.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure is
the only pile cure extensively used and
recommended by. physicians because it is so
.aFa On prOmpt in the relief afforded from
. single application and 50 far as known
me only positive cure for piles except a
surgical operation.
About one person Ia every four suffers
from some form OF piles. The most com
mon and annoying is itching piles, indi-
Gated bv warmth. slight moisture, and in

parts This form OF the disease as well as
protruding. blind. and bleeding piles. read

BADLY SHAKEN UP.

An old saying that one might
as well be killed as scared
to death, is brought to mind by
an occurrence at James A. Stew
arts at Green Hill last Friday
evening. A heavy thunder storm
came up, and Harvey Nelson, who
happened along just at that time,
took shelter in the house with Mr..
Stewart and family. Mr.. Stew
art and Mr., Nelson were sitting
in the side-room talking and
watching the storm when sudden
ly there was a binding fash Of
lightning, accompanied instanta-
neously witha deafening clap of
thunder that lifted those two
heavy weights from their chairs
and sent them whirling around
the room. A moment later the
cry of fire was given by one of
the girls who had discovered that
a case Of newspapers against the
wall near the telephone instru-
ment was all ablaze. Before the
flames had gained much headway
they were extinguished by Mr.,
Nelson and the crisis of serious
conllagration was passed. 1t was
found afterward that a tree near
the house had been struck, and
the current transmitted to the
telephone wire, destroying a mum,
Der of poles and running into Mr..
Stewards house, burning out the
phone and doing the mischief al
ready stated.

WRECK.

Last Saturday evening about
ten o'clock DR.. Smith of this
place received a call to attend a
patient down the Cove. In a min
ute Joe had the Doctors team
ready and the doctor was off on
his errand. The night was dark
and the lights binding, and the
first thing the doctor knew he
and his buggy and horse were
promiscuonsly tangled up with a
horse and buggy hitched near
Comerer's building. The result
was a physician who needed a
surgeon, a horse that needed vet
erinary, set of harness for p.
p. Mann, and two buggies that
would occupy the attention of
Greathead and Sinner for day
or two. 1t only took the doctor
minute to extricate himself, and
order a livery team and without
much loss of time he reached his
patient and then came home and
patched himself up with court
plaster.

ANOTHER MAD DOG.

The mad dog was operating in
new territory last week. He,
mot the one Fred Cromer cooled
off, came over into Wells Valley
from Rays Cove and amused him
self soaring women and children
and biting cattle and pigs. Near
the saw mill at Wells Tannery he
made a savage attack on a horse
belonging to Mr., John Meredith,
a lumberman. The dog fastened
his teeth so tightly in the horse's S
flesh that he was flung clearacross
the road by the horse in his eff
forts to free himself from the
jaws of the dog. Efforts were
made to kill the dog but he man
aged to escape, and is possibly at
large yet.

DEATH.

Many of our readers will re-
member that Rev. w. II. Reed and
Miss Bertha Grove were married
in the fall of 1896, and shortly
after sailed for the Foreign Mis-.
sion field in Egypt. Since then
their home has been frightened
by two tender little olive plants.
The older, Faith Wilson, is now
aboutthreeyears old. The young
er, Agnes Lillian, on the 18th of
May last, when one year and six
days old, was transplanted by the
Masterofthe vineyc dto theFath-
er's family above. Mr.. and Mrs.
Reeds home for the last three
years has been in Asyut, Egypt.
Some time in the latter part of
March last Mrs. Reed first and
later, Mr.. Reed, were taken quite
ill with grippe. Then their young
er child took dysentery when the
attending physician advised that
it would be necessary for them to
be removed from that hot climate
in order to recover. They imme-
diately took a train and were re-
moved to Il hospital in Alexandria,
a distance Of $50 miles north on
the sea coast. There everything
that the best medical skill and
trained nurses could afford was
used for the recovery of their
dear one But her fragrant and
bright ife-miSSion was accom-.
plished and the great Husband
man plucked the budding flower
for Himself. Attended by fel
low miss ionaries and attending
nurses they laid away her tender
little form in the cemetery al
Alexandria, ON May 16, 1900
Thus placed, the little body seems
to be far removed from loving
friends, but blessed be God the
spirit is not. Mr.. and Mrs. Reed
have fully recovered from then
illness. They will have the warm
est sympathies of their many
friends in this country in theil
bereavement.

LITERARY PROGRESS.

The many young people who
met at Mr.. j. f. Kendall's Friday
evening, May 25th to enjoy the
review meeting of the Home
TalSn5 Circle, will agree with me
that it was one of the best meet
ings the society has ever had
since the night of its christen-
dom at A. w. Johnston's in De-
cember, 1897.
Under the direction of the pro-
ticient program committee Miss
Ella Pittman and DR.. Garthwaite)
the society, since in January, has
made a thorough study of Eng
land. This study proved to be
boGh instructive and entertaining.
The deep interest taken in it was
clearly manifested Review Night
when the list of questions on the
geography and the history of
England was asked by Miss Ella
M. Johnston and Miss Ella Pitt
man respectively, several would
answer at the same time.
One of the interesting facts re-
lated concerning Queen Victoria
was, that of the rule of the twen-
ty-four presidents of the United
States, hers has extended over
eighteen of this number.
The parliamentary practice
conducted by Sidney Citizens was
one of the most interesting fea-
lures of the program.
We need not speak of the kind
ly welcome and hospitality of our
host and hostess, as that is wide
ly known,
Besides a good attendance of
the Circle, there were seventeen
strangers present; among whom
were James Johnston and sister,
of Mercersburg, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Shepherd of Ohio,
increasing the number to over
fifty.
Thus it is seen that, although
the society began with but few
members, it has grown so rapidly
that by the time Ayr township
erects her High School building
it might be to the interest of both
the township and the society tc
set apart one of it's rooms for the
benefit of the Home Talent Cir
Gle.
