HALF A CENTURY.
4 Prominent politician is Convinced.

At a recent club Inner given by
newspaper men at Washington, the
conversation turned upon the subject
OF testimonials and their value in news
paper advertising. Il do not be-
lieve," said a prominent politician whs
was present, that one newspaper tes-
timonial in hundred is genuine.
The owner of one of the largest news
papers an 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 pol
tucian's satisfaction.
Quite by accident the case of Mr..
Newton X. Young of Pennington, n.
J., was selected. He had been COM
pletely cured of caes of hemorrhoids,
or piles, by the use of Pyramid Pile
Cure The politician was especially
ekeptical regarding this case, as II was
alleged that Mr.. Young was a man over
eighty years of age and had been cured
OF piles after fifty years OF awful sui
fering and after all other remedies mad
failed. 1t was agreed that the poiltl-
clan should write to Mr.. Geo. W. Scar
borough. PHI. e., a prominent resident
OF Pennington and that the resull ol .lie
controversy should rest upon his reply.
The following was Mr.. scarborough
answer:
.Dear Sir: Mr.. Newton K. Young
OF this town, is a man nearly eighty
years of age, and who has been suffer-
ing with piles for perhaps half
century, has been completely cured by
the use of Pyramid Pile Cure. l felt
especially interested in the case as 1t
was upon my recommendation that Mr.
Young began the use of the remedy
after having used so many others.
Yours respectfully. Geo. w. scar
borough, Phi. G."
The Pyramid Drug Company of Mar
shall. Mich, have this letter in their
possession and are willing to guarantee
with a backing of, one thousand dol
lars the genuineness Of Mr.. Scar
borough's testimony.

Experiments at the Illinois station
have shown that corn varies very
much in the amount of protein which
it contains, it having been already bred
up from s to Is per cent Of protein.
Further experiments which are being
made indicate that this amount of pro-
TEN can be still further increased by
careful selection. There is no one
thing being done in the line Of expert
mental agriculture which is of more
Importance than this of increasing if
possible the per cent Of heterogeneous
matter in our corn.
