TOO GREAT EXPENSE
Not the Reason.

It is not because Pyramid Pile Cure is so expensive that many people decline to give 1t a trial, but because they find 1t too great a tax on their creduiity to be- lieve that the published letters bearing testimony to the merit of this remedy are genuine and bona fide; especially to those who have realized the suffering incident to piles is 1t incredible that anyone who has been afflicted twenty-five and thirty years with the worst forms of protruding and bleeding piles should be cured by the application of a simple remedy, when their physician has assured them that the only relief is in a surgical operation?
 This is rightfully viewed with dread by all those afflicted as 1t means at the least a great shock to the nervous sys- tenn, with more than a possibility of ut ter collapse and death; in the majority of cases, too, there Is a return of the com plaint. owing to the fact that the cause Is not removed.
 The proprietors of the Pyramid Pile Cure agree to forfet one thousand dollars to anyone who will show a single pub lished testimonial to be not genuine and unsolicited; this latter feature Is most gratifying, inasmuch as these letters are written solely out of gratitude. and with the hope that those who are afflicted as the writers have been may learn that relief Is at hand. at a comparatively trifing experse. Pyramid Pile Cure is for sale by druggists at fifty cents a pack age, or will be mailed by the makers to any address upon receipt of price,
 MT. Wm. Lichtenwalter, head of the largest printing house in Canton, Ohio, says: It is with the utmost pleasure and satisfaction that I can say I believe I am cured of protruding and bleeding piles, after suffering more than twenty five years. have been in bed for two weeks at a time. l have not suffered in the least for over year, and I used only three fifty cent boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure.
 "I have advised every person suffering with this distressing and painful com plaint to give this remedy a trial. l have every confidence in it." Write the Pyra- mid Drug O.. Marshal. Mich. for their book on the causes and cure of piles.

INVESTIGATING SIGNATURES.
Police Have Badaracco Petition
for Grand Avenue Saloon.

The petition prepared by Joseph Bada-
racco TO open a dram-shop at No. 10i5
North Grand avenue is still in the hands Of
the police, vino are making an investigation
to ascertain whether the signatures are
genuine. 1t probably will be returned to
the Excise Commissioner Office this week.
Many complaints are being received from
persons who claim that they have not
signed a petition for a saloon on Grand
avenue, yet whose names appear on the
petition. They ask to have their names re-
moved.
According to law, the Excise Commits
sioner has a right to refuse a license for a
dram-shop if only a majority of property
holders sign the petition. A license has been
refused for the Grand avenue place sew
erai times when the petition contained the
signatures of majority of property-hold-
erS.
If petition is signed by two-thirds Of
the real estate owners, the law requires
that license be issued. Badaracco has that
many. signers, 1t is said, but whether the
signatures are genuine is the question being
investigated by the police
