HALF A CENTURY.
A r%rominent Pomncinn {, cnn,,nc.

A Prominent Politician Is Convinced.
At a recent club dinner given by news
paper men at Washington the conversation
turned upon the subject of testimonials
and their value in newspaper advertising.
i do not believe" said a prominent poll
tician who was present, that one news
paper testimonial in a hundred is gen.
aine."
The owner Of one OF the largest news
papers in the country was present and took
up the subject vigorously. finally agreeing
to let his opponent select any testimonial
In his paper and wagering to. establish its
genuineness to the politicians satisfaction.
Quite by accident the case Of Mr.. Newton
X. Young Of Pennington. N. j., was Sc
lected. He had been completely cured Of
a case OF hemorrhoids, or piles, by the use
of Pyramid Pile Cure. The politician was
especially skeptical regarding this case.
as 1t was alleged Mr.. Young was a man
over eighty years Of age and had been
cured Of piles after fifty years of awful
suffering and when all other remedies had
failed. It was agreed that the politician
should write to Mr.. Geo. W. scarborough.
PHI. G., a prominent resident of Penning-
ton, and that the result Of the controversy
should rest upon his reply. The follow
ing was Mr.. scarborough's answer: y
20 Dear Sir-Mr. Newton X. Young OF this

who had been a sufferer with piles for per-
haps half a century, has been completely
cured by the use of Pyramid Pile Cure. I

was upon my recommendation that Mr..
Young began the use of the remedy after
having used so many others. Yours re-
speetfullyy Geo. w. Scarborough. Phi. O."
