Proper Treatment Of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous dis
case for any one to attempt to doctor
himself, altho he may have the proper
remedies at hand. A physician should
always be called. 1t should be borne
in mind, however, that pneumonia al
ways results from a cold or from an
attack of the grippe. and that by CIV
ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the
threatened attack of pneumonia may
be warded off. This remedy is also
used by physicians In the treatment OF
pneumonia with the best results. DR.
w. J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala, who is
also druggist says Of It, II have
been selling Chamhei'lain's Cough
Remedy and prescribing it In my prac-
tice for the past six years. I use 1t In
cases of pneumonia and have always
gotten the best results" Sold by all
druggists.

SURGEONS RESORT
To THE KNIFE
Whom a Simple Home Remedy Cures

! Why do physicians always advise an
| operation for the cure of hemorrhoids
or piles? Are they unconsciously intiu-
| enced by the dicta of operating sur
geons, who stoutly assert and maintain
that ali other treatments are merely
palliative, and that the knife affords
| the only means of cure?
| There could be no greater fallacy, as
the worst possible cases of piles are
| permanently cured by the use of Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, which is In SUPPOSE
| tory form, is applied directly to the
source of the complaint, and removes
| the cause, which an operation does not.
| Il have been a sufferer from piles for
over forty years, and after trying
everything l could hear or read of.
without benefit or relief, came to the
conclusion to give Pyramid Pile Cure
trial, and l can truly say 1t has given
me entire satisfaction; 1t is wonder
full remedy. The bleeding has entirely
ceased, the protruding has stopped,
there Is no longer any itching. and l
feel no swelling of the parts; In fact /
feel like new man.
II had to wear a truss for several
years, to keep the bowels UP, but ]
have now discarded it, after using six
boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure. / think
after forty years of suffering the six
boxes was "a small amount TO make
such an agreeable change, as was un-
able to do any work that required
STOPPING in tho last eight years. i rec
,, ommend Pyramid Pile Cure to every
one with whom i come in contact, as l
consider it beyond price."-George w.
Ivey, Confederate Soldiers Home,
Richmond, va.
We vouch for the truth and accuracy
of the above testimonial, and urge all
sufferers to purchase a 50-cent pack
age of this famous remedy at the near
est drug store, and give it a trial to-
night Accept no substitutes, and re-
member there is no remedy Just as
good

shall, Mich. publish little book on
the causes and cure of piles, and will

come time when a large crowd might
be congregated in the auditorium on

portion of the building Monday night
with view to ascertaining the nature
and number of exits location of fire
escapes, etc. The auditorium is In the
east end of the fourth floor and has a
seating capacity of about $50, but this
number has been greatly exceeded on
several occasions. Leading from 1t ara
two entrances. closed by double doors.
and two fire escapes, one of which is
from the stage. 1t was the idea OF the

lower floors, should crowd be in the
auditorium. they could not all possibly
escape in the rush that would follow
down the stairs. The matter wa called
to the attention of the board in a let
ter from Thaddeus Binford. Miss
