Although Grip prevailed In mild form
during the late autumn months. 1t has
now taken on an Enthusiastically viruIent
type in the extent and character OF It's
new invasion. During tie last fortnight
thousands who have escaped heretofore
have been stricken, and the disease is
plainly epidemic over a very wide section
of country.
The type of the disease Is essentially
catarrhal and chiefly manifests itself I'm
fnhammatory affections OF the mem

passages. The attack Is quite sudden and
there IS generally high temperature,
with pain in the forehead. hacking and ir-
ritative cough, with general muscular
pains and prostration.

avoidance of draughts, the cultivation OF

The Pyramid Pile Cure is a success be-
cause it has the merit which brings sue
cess. 1t cures every form of piles and
cures them to stay cured. 1t is now the
most popular and best known pile remedy
before the public, and one reason for it's
great popularity is because ii has taken
the place of surgical operations, once con-
sidered the only sure cure.
People often wonder that so simple a
remedy will so promptly cure such an
obstinate trouble as piles are well known

greatest inventions we have are the sim

No sooner had Judge Willis taken his
seat than he was besieged by a crowd
of delegates and prominent members of
the party, who urged him to withdraw
from the ticket. Catching the drift Of
the argument the delegates sought to
lend it force by shouting at the top Of
their voices.

TO those who importuned him TO with
draw his name Judge Willis replied that
he had no reason for so doing He de-
clared he had been chosen to head the
ticket and would not dodge the response

At the conclusion of the speech Judge
Wills was again the object of Kisses and
