AFTER EFFECTS OF GRIP.

Are Often More Serious Than the Grip
Itself
Physicians and grip sufferers alike are
agreed that the after effects of the
disease are more to be feared than the
acute attack; you can never be sure
that the disease has left the system
completely.
LaGrippe naturally attacks the weak
est organ and leaves it still weaker.
Not only pneumonia, consumption,
bronchitis and throat trouble follow the
grip, but kidney, liver and stomach are
troubles just as liable to result, pro-
vided any of these organs should hap
hen to be in a weak condition at the
time of attack.
To get rid of the grip germ, to get
it entirely out of the system and blood,
few remedies are so good and none
safer than Stuart's Catarrh Tablets;
they are not a compound of powerful
and dangerous drugs. but a pleasant,
palatable, convenient remedy in tablet
form, composed of the wholesome anti
septic principles of Eucalyptus bark,
blood root and similar germicide reme-
dies which are perfectly wholesome and
harmless to the system but death to
and diseases of the throat and air pas
sages
Mrs. Chas. Gormley, of Memphis,
says: Last winter an attack of the
grip left me with weak back, a persis-
tent cough and loss of flesh and appe-
tite and after using various remedies
for several months with little or no
improvement / finally bought a so cent
package of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at
my drug store and as they were pleas
ant and convenient to take I used them
at all times of day or night and l was
astonished to secure such fine results
from so pleasant and convenient a med
icine. In two weeks my cough disap-
peared, my appetite returned. improv-
ed in flesh and color and no one would
now think that / had ever had such a
{ thing as the grip.
/ My druggist told me he sold more
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, for the cure
of grip, colds and catarrh, than any
other similar medicines.

CURES MADE EVERYWHERE.

Every Form of Piles Yield to 1t.
In spite of the fact that the Pyramid
Pile Cure is so well known as a certain
cure for every form of piles, there are
still many people who think a surgical
operation the only sure cure.
Hundreds of thorough trials in the
hands Of physicians and patients have
proven beyond a doubt however, that
surgical operations for piles are unneces-
sary, cruel, many times dangerous to
life, and a relic of barbarism. The Pyra-
mid Pile Cure will cure any form of piles
effectually and without a particle of pain
or inconvenience, at slight expense and
no danger whatever, as it is perfectly
harmless The way it effects patients who
use it may be inferred from the follow
ing from Mr.. E. Crook, of Waterloo Iowa:
"Gentlemen-I have used the Pyramid Pile
Cure and it is out of sight, the best thing
l ever tried. l think it has entirely cured
me. l have told Mr.. Knapp, our drug
gist here, about it and he has ordered
some. This remedy is a great thing for
piles
From Mrs C. g. Spillman, Huntsville.
Ala: Not long since you sent my husband
some of your Pyramid Pile Cure and it
did him so much good that 1 want to
write to you and tell you about it as he
suffered very much and nothing seemed
TO reach his case until he tried the Pyra
mid"
From J. D. Roberts. Mt Moriah Mo-.
Il have used the Pyramid Pile Cure and
results have been entirely satisfactory.
There can be no question but that it is
a certain and lasting cure for piles at
least it has so proven in my case"
Miss Easter Nunley, of Tracy City
Tenn. writes '"The Pyramid Pile Cure
has done my sister more good than any
thing she has ever taken. / have nothing
but words of warm commendation for it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has become
recognized as the only standard pile cure
strictly on it's merits and what it has
repeatedly done in obstinate cases both in
private practice of reputable physicians
and in individual cases.
1t is so cheap as to be within the reach
of all classes of people, and druggists
everywhere state that it gives universal
satisfaction which can hardly be other
wise when it is remembered that 1t is
composed of the best remedies known to
the medical profession in treatment OF
rectal diseases. 1t is prepared by the
Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich, and
for sale by all druggists.

Several Instances of Daring by Brave South

Col. Galloway has told how with a de-

These were deeds of genuine valor, and

THE REPLY OF LORD woLsELEY.
Attempts to Refute Charges by Lansdowue on
His Conduct of the War.
(By the Associated Press.)

london March l5-The House of Lords
was unusually crowded today in antici-
nation of the reply of Lord Wolseley, the
former commander -chief, to the crltl-
cism of the former War Secretary, Lord
Lansdowne.
Lord Wolseley attempted to refIte the
specific charges launched by Lord l4ans-
downe. He admitted that in common with
all the other authorities, he had under
estimated the fighting power of the in
dividual Boer.
Three weeks before Mr.. Kruger's decla-
ration of war he had urged Lord Lans-
downe to send out an army corps, a
cavalry division and five battalions for
the lines of communication. in addition
to the ten thousand troops already in
South Africa Such a comparatively small
number of troops employed early had
often achieved results which five times
their number could not produce later.
If the country was not prepared at the
outbreak of war it was not because he
had not urged the gradual and unOsten-
tatious reinforcements of the forces.
Lord Wolseley concluded with saying:
1.-The noble Marquis made strong per-
sonal statements which were not sup
ported l have made my reply, which
is also unsupported. But | feel | am
amply justified in moving that the pa
pers be laid on the table. l am pre-
pared to prove by official documents all

Lord Wolseey's motion was rejected by
a vote of 62 to 3S.

A NOTABLE SCENE
Handshaking in the Hall Af-

The Perfect GOOd.FelowshIp and Unaniuity
Of flhe Members. Singing Of Familiar
Songs.

Immediately after the adjournment Of
the House yesterday, scene was wit
messed in the hall that made one feel
that human nature was a noble sort of
thing after all, and that "things are not
what they seem" in more senses than
one.
1t was a good old fashioned hand
shaking all around. Men who, sincere
in their opinions, had differed upon the
floor OF the House, and fought each
other hard, now that the duty Of op-
position was past, and only the feeling
of friendship remained that every true
man will feel for one with whom he has
been associated in work or pleasure,
clasped hands with a grip that was
nerved by one of the strongest of manly
emotions, as they wished each other
goodbye and God-speed.
1t was time that showed what kind
of stuff our legislators are made of.
Firm and unyielding they were when
they thought they were in the right on
some question involving the welfare of
their people; but absolutely free from
any trace of personal animus.
While the Misunderstanding, wishing
and adieus were going on all over the
hall, group was singing THE Old
North State" under the portrait of EX-
Governor Vance. The melody was made
sweeter by feminine voices from the
gallery.
Presently Capt. Bennett, the veteran
nt-at-ArIns, cried out: "Too
much confusion on the FLOOR" This
sally was greeted by words of laughter.

minutes, and filled the old hall with
the strains of "Auld Lang Syne," God
