Peruna Catarrh Cure that Rests on the
Unsolicited Testimony of thousands.

This is an age when theories have little
or no weight on the average mind. but
actual demonstration is demanded. The
busy people OF to-day have neither time
nor inclination to speculate. and turn
with distrust from everything that does
not plainly bear the stamp of fact.
The reason Peruua has gained such
universal hold of the confidence of the
people as Il catarrh cure is because all

panied by facts.

ASKING FOR AID.
Many Old Soldiers Appeal TO the
Governor.

Governor.
The Governor has received number OF
letters within the last few days from
ex-Confederate soldiers in different parts
OF the State, and from some now living
in other States who enlisted from F1r-
ginia, asking for financial assistance from
this State. Some OF these letters are
really touching and pathetic. In to-day's
mail came one from an old soldier In
Nottoway county He stated that his
grandfather served in the Revolutionary
War under Washington; his father
fought under Andrew Jackson, and he
served under Robert Lee. His father
and grandfather both were born in Ches-
terrified county. He has been living III
Nottoway for many years, trying hard
to support u wife and family by doing
cult thing now to get enough work to
support himself and family, and he asks
the Governor to try to secure some posi-
ton for him to help him along.
Mr.. John Paul Bocock, of New York
city, in conjunction with Mr.. William f.
Howe, a leading criminal lawyer of that
city. are collecting statistics in regard to
men and women executed in the United
States by law for crimes of which they
are innocent. IN his letter TO Governor
Tyler Mr.. Bocock says: 1T is estimated
that there have been several thousand
such executions in Great Britain and some
hundreds in the United States. But it is
exceedingly hard to get authentic data
in this country"
There are some well-known American
cases, viz: that of the Boorn brothers,
at Manchester, VT, and Giblin, in New
York city, where sentence of death was
passed and the innocence of the accused
then finally made plain. There are others
where the death sentence has been actual
ly carried out and the innocence of the
prisoners then demonstrated, as Boyins-
tons case in Mobile, in 1854; Margaret
HoughtalingS in Columbia county, New
York; DR.. Hamitons in Kentucky. in

KEEP THE PICTURES,
Mr.. j. 3. More Appeals to His Old
HOyitZor Comrades.


Mr.. J. B. EHoore makes the following
appeal to his old comrades of the How
itzers:
Comrades, Lieutenant Sheppard has
painted set of twelve pictures, gems of
everyday lif, in the old army. 1t is our
duty to see tlat our old comrade does not
have to sendthese pictures to New York,
They have been on exhibition here for
several week, and each and every man
who has seel them has wanted one if
not all of these pictures. An arrange
ment has beel made by which the whole
set can be PLACED in the Howitzer Armory
and at the sane time a copy of the whole,
either bound or on separate sheets, can
be bought by any one who fancieS them.
Is there notanough of the old comrnde-
ships left, which in old times bound ;:s
together as pne man, to secure these
gems? If Others are of the same opinion
drop a postal to box No. ST postoffice,
stating what you are willing to give for
copies of the complete set, and we will
retain amongst ourselves that which to
lose would be a lasting regret. It will
cost between $500 and ST. 500 to duplicate
a pleasure that will last as long as he
lives. 10 not mean to say that one dol
lar subscription can secure the prize. Let
those WHO can give more do so. and those
who cannot pay more than the widows
mite cDme forward and drop his mite.
We are comrades all, and for the sake
of an 5ld comrade I call for full and free
Offerings. But let your answer be prompt.

1iy, membranes of the rectum- The cure
Is natural and easy, and almost before
the patient Is aware OF II every trace OF
piles has left him.
This is one reason why the Pyramid
Pile Cure has been SO uniformly success
iul
1t is in suppositorv form, applied at
night directly to the diseased parts,
where it IS most needed, and not by tho
round about way ofthc stomach, nor the
harsh, bsrharous method of surgical
operation.
Direct applications to the seat of dis
case is The only common-sense cure. and
this is fully accomplished by the Pyramid
Pile Cure
II The voluntary testimony OF thousands
IS worth anything. then no sufferer should
delay In giving this splendid remedy at
least a trial, as IL costs but % cents at
any drug store, and is guaranteed abso-
iutely safe and free from opiates or
cocaine, so commonly found in so-called
pile cures.
Nearly every druggist has some favor

Is remembered that the Pyramid Pile
Cure is the only remedy for piles that
