A 80UE0E0F SURPRISE-
To Pb jsician and Patient Alike-
Dr. Redmond, a specialist in the study
and treatment of piles and rectal dis
eases, receutly stated that the Pyramid
Pile Cure, the new discovery tor tne cure
of piles, was the most remarkable rem
edy he had ever seen or tried in one re
spect; and tnat was, me instant, reuei ex
perienced iu all cases, no matter how se
vere, from the moment the remedy was
applied; this was the more surprising to
him, because he had carefully analyzed
the preparation and no trace of opium,
cocaine or similar poison could be de
tected. Physicians look with great favor upon
the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it is rap
idly taking the place of surgical opera
tions and because it is so simple, so eas
ily applied and contains no mineral or
other poisons so commonly used in pile
cures. ZS!W
Dr. Esterbrook reports that the Pyra
mid Pile Cure not only cures the various
forms of piles, but never fails to give im
mediate relief on the first application,
no matter how severe the pain or dis
comfort may be.
People who havesuffered Irom piles lor
vears are otten astonisnea at me in
stant relief experienced from the first ap
plication. Another important advan
tage is the fact that anyone can use the
remedy without detention frpm business
or interference with daily occupation.
Mr. J. W. Rollins of Sweet Ssprings,
Mo., writes: I consider the Pyramid Pile
Cure without an equal; it cured me in
less than 30 days. I waited 15 days or
more to be sure I was fully cured Uetore
writinir vou: I can now say I am cured
and I shall recommend the Pyramid Pile
Cure at every possible opportunity, be
cause it deserves it.
Although acomparatively new remedy,
its Donularity is such, that all druggists
now sell it; if your druggist hasn t it 111
stock, he will get it for you if you ask
him. as all wholesale druggists nave it
on sale. I

AGAIN THERE WERE HEAVY RAINS-
TheBrighUst Prospects Everywhere for
Good Crops
The week ending Monday April 20, 1896
In the western part of the state the
weather of the past week has been cold
with some snow and sleet. In the east
ern part it nas been warm, averaging
from six to eight degrees above the nor
mal.
Rains have fallen in all parts of the
state during the week being above the
normal excepting in the extreme east and
west portions and particularly heavy
in the central portion.
The heavy rains of the preceding week
with the general excess during the past
week have thoroughly saturated the
ground and generally retarded farm
work so tnat but little progress nas been
made over a considerable portion of the
state. The seeding of small grain is
about complete over the eastern and
southern portions of the state. Plowing
for corn has commenced iu the northern
counties and baa made some pro
gress in other sections, but very little
corn was planted duc'ug the week.
All vegetation has made rapid growth
in the eastern and southern portions of
the state. Grass in many localities is
large enough to afford pasturage to
stock. Small grain continues in good
condition and seems generally not to
have suffered from the heavy rains.
Plums, cherries, and early apples have
bloomed profusely and apricots have be
gun to drop their blossoms and set their
fruit.

Epilepsy 20 Years.
Cured by Dr. Wiles Nervine.
A few years ago, Mr. L. W. Oallaher, was
an extensive, successful expert manu
facturer ot lumber products. Attacked with
epilepsy, be was obliged to give up his busi
ness. The attacks camo upon him most in
opportunely. One time falling from a carri
age, at another down stairs, and often In the
street. Onco he fell down a shaft in the
mill, his Injuries nearly proving fatal. Mr.
Oallaher writes from Milwaukee, Feb. 1695.
"There are none more miserable than epi
leptics. For 20 years I suffered with epilep
tic fits, having as high as five In one night I
tried any number of physicians, paying to
one alone, a fee of $500.00 and have done
little for years but search for something to
help me, and have taken all the leading
remedies, but received no benefit. A year ago
my son, Chas. 8. Gallaher, druggist at 191
Beed St., Milwaukee, gave me Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine, and I tried It with
gratifying results. Have had but two fits
Elnce I began taking It. I am better now In
every way than I have been in 20 years."

The Farm Field and Fireside says: "It has
been left to Mr. George Howard Gibson to Intro
duce anew tone into the songs of the party, aud
to write a series of patriotic songs which are
hardly surpassed by any in our literature for
loftiness of motive aud real merit from a literary
point of view, while ut the sometime they are not
at all lacking in the musical quality which must
necessarily be present before any song touches
the chord of popularity. They are remarkable
for their fervid patriotism and broad humanity.
In fact, if the People's party rises to the patriotic
level of these songs, we have little doubt of Its
ultimate success as a party. The songs strike
the whole octave of human sympathy. Spark
ling humor, keen wit and biting sarcasm, as well
as the loftier patriotic themes, are touched in
turn by the talented author."

Scarlet Fever Settled in the Back.
AN OPERATION WAS UNSUC
CESSFULLY .PERFORMED.
The Patient was Finally Restored,
After Eighteen Years.
From the Evening News, Newark, N. J.
About eighteen years ago, when Mrs. '
Mary, Dale of 88 Bruce Street, was a
bright, merry school girl, she was taken
ill with scarlet fever. She recovered, but
she was a very different girl from a phys
ical standpoint, bhe was cured of the
scarlet fever, but it left her with an af
fection of the back. As she grew older
the pain seemed to increase. Her suf
ferings were intensified by her household
duties, but she never complained, and
with one band pressed tightly to be,
back she did her work about her cozy
home.
"I was fourteen years old when I was
attacked with scarlet fever, and have
now suffered with my back for eighteen
years.
"Night and day 1 suffered. It really
seemed as if I must succumb to the pain
and then to make matters worse, my
bead ached so badly (hat I could scarce
ly see, at times. Finally I went to St.
Michael g hospital, at the corner ol iligu
Street and Central Avenue, and there the
surgeons performuda difficult operation
on my back but it did no good; it was
like everything else. 1 was told at the
hospital to return for another operation,
but tne first bad lelt me so weak l couia
not go back. Then again I had become
discouraged and my three children need
ed my attention and care at borne. The
pain became harder to stand and my
back was almost broken, it seemed. I
thought I never would know what it
would be like to be well again when I
was told of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
With many doubts, a faint heart and an
aching buck went to get the pills, and
little dreaming tnat they wouiu prove
the elixir of a new life to me, began to
take them. Only a short time elapsed
before I began to improve. Could it be
possible that Dr. Williams' Pink Pius
were doing what everything else had ,
failed to accomplish? I asked myself
the question many times and before long
1 was enabled by my improved condition
to auswer the query with an emphatic
"Yes." Now the pain of almost twenty
years is cured by these Pink Pills in a

now, but I have got some of Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People and
while I do not think it will ever be neces
sary to use them again, I shall certainly
never be without them in the house.'

condensed form, all the elements neces
sary to give new life and richneiw to the
blood and restore shattered nerves.

culiar to females, such as suppressions,
irregularities and all forms of weakness,

glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks.
