of 19S to 33 , 122 more than the requisite
constitutional two-thirds , All the republicans

iwhllo the votes to sustain the president were
all cast by democrats' . The bill authorizes
the governor and local authorities of Arizona
to loiso the school lands of the territory for

jection to the bill was th t It did not give
the tucretary of the Interior power to dis
approve the leases and did not throw proper
safeguards about the timber on the lands.
rTho I'tutcment was made on the floor that
the bill was Identical with a similar bill
passed by the last congress relating to Okla
homa territory at the request of the secre
tory of the Interior and that the prevent bill
liai ( received the written approval of both
Secretary Smith and the commissioner of

Arizona I.ntul Illll I'llnoil Over the
l're lilont' Veto.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 29. The senate
amendments to the army appropriation bill
nonconcured In by the house today and
the bill was cent to conference.
Mr. Lac 7t chairman of public landn , then
called up the bill to lenso certain lands In
Arizona for school purposes , which was
vetoed yesterday by the president , and
moved that It be passed over the veto. Mr.
Laccy , In support of hit motion K.I Id that the
hoiuo was confronted with the constitutional
Interference by the president of a bill that
had passed both houses unanimously ,
"lo It an Interference ? " nslced Mr. Miles.
"A constitutional Interference. 1 said , " re
plied Mr. Lucey , "and one that may be
fatal. Two great bodies going In opposite
directions havs encountered each other. "
Continuing. Mr. Lacey explained that the
bill was Identical with that authorizing
Oklahoma to lease her educational
lands for school purposes , which
hud been prepared nnd passed by congress
at the request of the secretary of the Interior
and the commissioner of the general land
office. As n result of the Oklahoma bills
$83,000 had been realized In that territory
I t year , while under the former system but
$46,000 had been obtained. Was It now
Implied , he said , that the governor of Ari
zona was not na competent to lease these
lands ns thp secretary of the Interior , 1,800
miles away ? Hoth were Mr. Cleveland's
appointees. The veto message had called
attention to the opposition of "Influential
citizens" In Arizona. Nalurnllv such oppo
sition would cilst. The cattle barons In
Oklahoma had protested , yet the law In that
territory had worked admirably. Some of
these lands were now occupied without au
thority and without rentals. The presi
dent. Mr. Lacey said , had undoubtedly been
deceived. He had been Influenced by men
who had perhaps been Influenced by others
Interested In obtaining the use of these lands
free of charge. "
Mr. Underwood , a member of the public
lands committee , coincided with Mr. Lacey
that the bill was a good ono and should become -
come a law.
In answer to a question by Mr. Sayers ,
democrat of Texas , Mr. Lacey said that the
hill had not been submitted to the secretary
of the Interior. The committee , he said , had
rplleil upon the report of the secretary of
the Interior In the case of Oklahoma , where
the conditions were practically Identical. In
both cases the cattle barons were In pos-
uosslon and paid no rent. There was no
reasDn why we should make flsh of one
and fowl of the other.
Mr. Sayers asked that the matter go over
until the opinion of the secretary of the In
terior could bo obtained.
"I would be unwilling to ask the secretary
of the Interior , even with his colossal as
surance , " replied Mr. Lacey , "to make a
recommendation that we should override the
presidential veto. "
Mr. Murphy , the Arizona delegate , made
the positive statement that the bill had the
approval of the secretary of the Interior and
the commissioner of the general land office ,
and that their opinions In writing had been
laid before the president while he was con
sidering the bill.
Notwithstanding this statement Mr.
Turner , democrat of Georgia , thought It
could be safely assumed that the president
had the advice of the secretary of the In
terior and that the latter had probably
Inspired the veto. One of the principal ob
jections raised by the president was that
the lands It leased by the local authorities
of the territory could be denuded of their
timber , as by the terms of the bill It was not
uecessary to submit the leases for the ap
proval of the secretary.
Mr. McRac , democrat of Arkansas , who
was chairman of the public lands committee
of the last house , said he would vote to pass
the bill over the veto.
Mr. Murphy reiterated his statement that
the bill had received the distinct written ap-
provaj of the Intteridr department. The
protests received by tlio president , ho paid ,
were from persons who were being benefited
by the use of the lands , rent and taxes free.
The vote was then taken upon the passage
of the bill , the veto of the president not
withstanding , tinder the constitution this
vote was taken by ayes and nays.
The vote resulted 200 to 38. Moro than
two-thirds having voted In the affirmative
the bill was declared , passed over the presi
dent's veto.
The announcement was greeted with a
scattering of applause by the republican side.
Mr. Henderson , republican of Iowa , from
the committee on rules , then presented the
special order of which ho had glve-n notice
yesterday , making It In order to offer the
bill to abolish the system In the case of
United States attorneys and marshals ns an
amendment to the legislative appropriation
bill. Ho explained that the house was
sttongly In favor of this measure and that
the adoption of the rule would glvo congress
an opportunity to work this much needed re
form. He expressed the belief that a re
duction of over $200,000 could bo effected.
Thn appropriations for United States mar
shals and deputies had Increased from $900-
000 In 1890 to $1,680,000 In 189G , for United
States attorneys from $289,000 to $410,000 ,
for United States commissioners from $185-
000 to $340,000. The1 total appropriations for
the United States courts had Increased since
1E85 from $3,210,000 to $ C,4G1,000.
Mr. Catchlngs , democrat of Mississippi ,
asked If an amendment would be In order to
abolish the fee system In the case of United
States clerks.
Mr. Henderson replied that lie did not
think It would. The subcommittee which
had prepared the bill , he said , did not in-
clndn clerks , because clerks were not en
gaged In working up litigation , whereas at
torneys and inorshDls were at the fountain
licad. .
Mr , Crisp , democrat of Georgia , said that
ordinarily he would not favor such an order ,
liut realized that If the urgent reform were
to bo effected It would have to bo In the
shape of an amendment to this appropriation
Jill and lip should vote for this rule.
Mr. Cooper protested against the passage
of such a sweeping bill In such a manner.
Ifo thought the bill was defective- many
respects. Every member , he thought , would
desire an opportunity to consult with his
constituents , practicing : lawyers and the
officers of the courts before voting. The
special order was adopted without division.
Mr. Daniels , chairman of elections com
mittee No. 2 , presented the report of that
committee. In the contested , election case of
Aldrlch against Rohblns from the Second
Alabama district. The report favored the
contestant , Mr. Aldrlch , who was voted for
by a fusion of republicans and populists. lie
gave notice ho would call the case up In
about ten days.
The house then went Into committee
Of the whole and resumed the consideration
of the executive , legislative and Judicial ap
propriations bill. Mr. Catron offered an
imendment to change the time for the mcot-
ng of the territorial legislature of New
.loxlco and Its methods of organization , but
t was not acted on today. Several minor
amendments wore acted on and tba bill was
completed , except for controverted para
graphs , when the committee rose.

MARQUETTE IN MARIILE.
The statue of Marquette , which stand ? In
the Statuary hall of the house of representa-
tlvci , hidden from the gaze of the curious
by folda of white cheese cloth , has aroused
more talk as to the propriety of Its being
placed there than any matter of recent
years. There are those who allege than an
effort will bo made to prevent Its unveiling
because of the priestly character of the
man depicted In the marble. Protests from
all sorts of peculiar people are being received
against the presence of the Catholic dlg-
natarles who will assist In Its unveiling.
American Protective associations are making
a fight as they made a fight an Copplngcr
to have the statue thrown out of the capltol ,
but there Is every reason to believe that
their unamerlcan efforts will be unavailing ,
and that the statue of Marquette. who
stands to Wisconsin what Houston stood forte
to Texas , what Warren and Putnam stood
for to the east , what Do Soto stood for to
the Mississippi , will be unveiled , and this
tempest In a teapot be quieted without any
body's feelings being particularly ruffled.
This question of the American Protectlvs
association Is causing no end of trouble
hereabouts. It Is showing Its head almost
constantly. Good measures are being de
feated through Its Influence. Honored tradi
tions arc being trampled under foot through
Its unamerlcjn attempts to foist upon Amer
ica a narrow sjcUrJanlsm. and thcnj Is rea
son to believe that It will be vitally felt at
the St. Louis convention. The appropriation
of $500,000 for sectarian Indian schools ,
which was knocked Into a cocked hat by
Mr. Llnton of the Eighth Michigan dis
trict , supported ly his llentenant , Eugene J.
Ha'.ner of the Fourth Nebraska district , will.
It Is understood , be replaced , or an attempt
will bo made to replace It In the senate end
and a fight against Its replacement will be
mniln liv Senator Durroiva of Michigan.
WIT OF A CONGRESSMAN.
Congressman Henry W. Ogden of "the
Fourth Louisiana district Injected consider
able fun Into the staid Congressional Record
by a speech which ho delivered In the Rec
ord on the bond bill. His close was n very
neat piece of word painting. In the course
of his remarks he said :
"It Is some relief to know that this mis
erable bond bill this little puling infant
which came from the lotus of Its republican
parent 'Into this breathing world scarce half
made up , ' Is passing passing away. Its days
are numbered , and It will soon bo laid away
to rest forever. A little stone should be
oroztnd to Its memory and on It Inscribed :
" 'Sacred to the Memory of Our Angelic
Cherub , Llttlo Dlnglcy Bill Dorn on the
25th day of December , A. D. 1895 , at Wash
ington , D. C. Its life was short but event
ful. Weak and lacking In vigor , scarce ten
days eld , It was carried with a message of
bonds to the eastern end fit the capltol ,
where It was cruelly assaulted by brutal
senators with silver clubs , and Its young life
taken away. This stone Is erected to Its
memory by Its unfortunate parent , Nelson
Dlngley , and Its loving foster parents , Grover
Cleveland and Thomas Brackett Reed. ' "
The most notable thing to this remark
ably cute Inscription Is the development of
the fact that Air. Ogden docs not know his
way through the capltol and could not find
It with a compass. The senate Is not sit
uated at the eastern : end of the capltol , but
at the northern. .

OU11AN UESOL.UTIOX IV THE HOUSE.
! S'o Action Expected Hiforihe Mlilillc
'
of Xerl Wevk : .
WASHINGTON , Feb. 29. There Is a strong
possibility that the Cuban resolutions may
not be brought before the house before
Tuesday and perhaps not before Wednesday.
Members in charge of the legislative ap-
pioprlatlon bill , which has the floor at
piesent , predict that one or two days of next
week will be required to finish that bill and
until It Is out of the way Chairman Hltt of
the foreign affairs committee cannot move
the consideration of the Cuban Question.
It 1s thought a motion may be tnado In the
house to substitute the senate resolutions for
those reported from the house committee ,
but Chairman Hltt does not believe such a
motion would carry. If the house adopts
the resolution of Its own committee , of
which Mr. Hltt Is the author , a conference
between the two houses to nettle the differ
ences will be necessary. Many members
think the statements In ths two resolutions
do not differ materially In effect. Doth of
them say that revolutionists should bo ac
corded bplllgere-nt rights , and , while the last
paragraph of the senate resolution presented
by Senator Cameron requests the president
to offer friendly offices of this government
to Spain to bring about the Independence of
Cuba , the house resolution saye : "It Is the
opinion of congress that the government of
Ihe United States should use Its good olllcta
and friendly Influence to establish a govern
ment by the people of Cuba. "
In addition , however , the house resolution
declares that the government of the United
States should be prepared to protect the
legitimate Interests of American citizens by
Intervention It necessary.
Some of the democratic leaders of the
house think that the resolution should bo
made a Joint Instead of a concurrent one ,
that It may receive the signature of the
nresldent. This nosltlon was taken tiv M .
McCreary , democrat of Kentucky , and Mr.
Money , democrat of Mississippi , In the deliberations -
liberations of the committee pn the resolu
tions , and there may be an attempt to hurry
It Into effect In the houso. They held that
there Is doubt of the validity of a concurrent
resolution , which , according to custom , Is
not signed by the president , and a large con
tingent of the house believes that reognltlon
Is an act for the executive alone which con
gress cannot carry Into eflect.

Kntlipr Mnrquctte'd Statue.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 29. The prepara
tions for unveiling the statue of Father Marquette -
quotto In statuary hair of tlio capltol bavo
provoked an unexpected flurry In the houso.
Slnco the newspapers began printing notices
of the forthcoming event , a few days
ago , members have. been receiving
many communications on the mib-
jocl from their constituents and to
day they had reprcsantatlvcs In the
lobby to make opposition. Mr. Llnton of
Michigan , who la an advocate of A. P. A.
doctrine , today Introduced a resolution to
have the statue taken from the capltol and
the matter rivaled tha Cuban question In
the gossip of the floor. Llnton'a resolution
was as follows :
Whereas , For the first tlmo In the his
tory of the United States there lias been
placed In the cnpltol a statue of a man In
the garb of a churchman , said statue being
that of a Jesuit prlefct' named Marquette ,
who died In or about the year 1B75. and who
Is referred to In the Joint resolution , as a
reason for accepting ) , the statue , as "the
faithful missionary ) ' nnd
Whereas , The re/vlsed statutes of the
United States , sectluh 1SU , provide only "for
not exceeding- two statues In number , of
marblp or bronze , from each state , of de
ceased persona who-.have been citizens
thereof ana illustrious ror tneir umtin-
BUlShed civic or military , services , and when
so furnished shall be placed In the old
chamber of the house of representatives ,
now known as Htatiiary'flall ' , In the capltol
of the Unltpd Slat- add
Whereas , The said Manjuetto never was a
citizen of any state , nor of the United
States , nor performod'-dlly civic or military
duty therefore ; nnd , i w
Whereas , The statue representing- Is
oC ecclesiastical cliarouter alone , being
dressed In church fcarb"and paraphernalia
and otherwise entirely Inappropriate for the
position occupied hi statuary hall , thereby
being contrary to tb'c Intent of the joint
resolution which provided , for Its accept
ance : therefore , beIt -
HesOlveil , TKat th'e placlns .of the said
statue In the capltblpiBnnott onlyn without
authority , but In dlicct violation of the
law ; and1 be it further
Resolved , That bald statue be removed
from the capltol and returned to its donors.
Mr. Llnton says the statue Is objectionable
In hlb view , chiefly be'caiHe Father Marquette

satisfaction was expressed with the work of
the sculptor. The statue Is heroic In size ,

and will remain there until the formal
exercises of unveiling , which are expected
o be quite elaborate , take place.
It Is understood the statue Is satisfactory
to Mr. Lozcy and will bo accepted by him on
behalf of the xtatc.

ANNrrtril tlmt tlic 1'rpnlileiit In Not He-

iiHc to the IK-clnra
tion of
WASHINGTON , Feb. 29. It la understood
that the probable action of congress In re
spect to the Cuban resolutions pending In
bath houses absorbed the attention of yester
day's cabinet meeting. In view of the posi
tion taken heretofore by the president and
the secretary of etato , and which there Is
no reason to suppose they have abandoned ,
toward all propositions to recognize the bel
ligerency of the Insurgents , the decision of
the senate1 committee on foreign relations to
express the sentiments nnd wishes of con
gress In the form of a concurrent resolution
Instead of shaping It as a joint resolution ,
has given much gratification to the adminis
tration. If the president were to be con
fronted with a Joint resolution at this time
lecognlzlng the belligerency of the Insurgents
and even the Independence of the rebels , ho
would bo placed In a very disagreeable posi
tion , if ho approved the resolution It would
bo a confession that the course pursued by
our government toward Cuba and Spain up
to this time had been wrong , for It Is In
obted that there has been no change In the
relations of the parties to the warfare In
Cuba that would warrant any change In our
attitude.
It also would amount to a reversal of the
position taken by our State department In
defiance of same of the great European
powers during the Brazilian Insurrection ,
wben we Insisted that as a precedent to
recognition , the Insurgents must , havei-a seat
of > government , must issue-money and must
have a navy , for at least two of these
requisites are lacking In the case of the
present Insurrection.
On the other hand , if he vetoed a Joint
resolution of this character , the president
would be obliged , probably , to face a storm
of popular disapproval and to make an Issue
with congress that might be fraught with the
gravest consequences , for It lo realized that
the resolution In .that case would be passed
over his veto. But by making the resolution
a simple concurrent ono the president will
bo relieved of the necessity of announcing a
decision at this time. He regards the reso
lution as a simple expression of the senti
ment of congress and an not binding upon the
executive branch , as would be the cass with
a Joint resolution , which has all the force of
an act. It would ho In effect but a repetition
of the history of the Armenian resolution.
In that case the ssnato passed a concurrent
resolution suggesting that our government ,
through the executive branch , take action In
Europe , which action. In the opinion of the
president , was totally Inconsistent with the
Bound American policy of non-interference
In the affairs of the continent. As It was a
concurrent resolution , the president was not
required either to approve or disapprove It ,
and , an It had not the force of a law , he was
not obliged to act In accordance with the
suggestion of congress. As a matter of fact ,
he did not so act , and the resolution remains
In the Department of State absolutely In
effective.
The pendency of the Cuban resolutions has
caured so mo members of the administration
to take a long look ahead , as far
ahead Indeed as that point where there may
be a deliberate proposition from congress to
declare war whldh Senator Morgan has said
must follow the enactment of the pending
resolutions and they are now discussing the
question as to the relative powers of congress
and the president In that matter.
It appears that much may turn on the con
struction to be placed by the sfinato Judiciary
cogknlttee on the question now before it as
to Ilia proper scope of Joint and concurrent
resolutions. Ono express provision of the
constitution rays that congress ehall have
power , "to declare war. "
Thla would sesm to carry the Idea tJiat this
may be done by a concurrent resolution , .as It
la a power entirely reserved to congress , but
on the other hand , another paragraph of the
constitution seems to require the president's
approval to any Joint action of congress save
adjournment.
The apparant constitutional conflict on this
point Is engaging the most serious attention
of administration people.
An .Impression seems to have prevailed
that as the Donate resolution was a concur
rent resolution , and as such dooa not require
the president's signature , the president
would not receive olllclal notice of Its pas
sage If adopted by the house. It Is the
practice of congress to send certified copies
of concurrent resolutions to the head of the
department having jurisdiction of their tmb-
Joct matter , and In a case like the Cuban
resolution , both the president and secretary
of state doubtless would have their atten
tion called to them by means of certified
copies , Moreover , under the now printing
law It would be necessary to send such
copies to Secretary Olney , as that law re
quires concurrent congressional resolutions
to be printed with the lawn of each session ,
mbllshed by the government.

SAN FIIANCISCO , Feb. 29. Miss Mattlc
Overman has taken the public further Into
her confidence nnd with every appearance of
concern confessed her own shnmo and dis
honor. On Thursday night pho had declared
that poveral months ago she had repented
her attempt to ruin tlio man In whose homo
she Is now so welcome a guest. Now she
makes the otartllng announcement that she
was a crafty , planning liar until last Satur
day night , when she determined to tell the
truth and for the first time explained to
Uev. Dr. Brown the full meaning of the let
ters she wrote to Mrs. Tunnel reflecting on
Mr. Brown's morality.
Miss Overman was too III to continue her
testimony last night and she was excused
until next Tuesday , While her absence nt
the evening session was a disappointment
to many , the session was not altogether with
out dramatic effect. At ont stage of the
proceedings the audlcnco was nroused to
such a pitch of Indignation that It shouted ,
"phamo" to theaccupcd pastor for his method
of cross-examination. At another It ap
plauded him so vigorously and persistently
that the council chamber was cleared and the
ecclesiastical court retired to deliberate In
private.
Captain P. F. Cook testified that In the
Howard bible class , what used to bo the
pastor's study , but lo now the pastor'a office ,
ho was Introduced by Dr. Brown to Miss
Overman as his nloce. Dr. Brown attacked
the witness fiercely on cross-examination.
Ho referred to a prior misunderstanding be
tween himself and Cook. The captain laugh
ingly admitted It and said : "Oh , It was be
fore that I did not quite fancy you. "
Ho also admitted that If ho had the power
Brown would have had another charge sev
eral years ago. Then Brown wanted to know
where Cook got the title "captain , " and as-
3srtcd that It was a borrowed plumage. The
council Interfered to protect the witness.
"Don't you know I have had such an opin
ion of you for two years that I would not
introduce a lady to you ? " queried Pastor
Brown , shaking his pencil menacingly in
Captain Cook's face.
Dr. McLean reprimanded the cross ex
aminer.
"Do you think I would tell a lie In the
presence of my wife ? " thundered Dr. Brown.
"Oh , well , from what I know of you , I
think you would , " replied Captain Cook
calmly.
One of the most Important bits of tcstlinony
of the whole council considered ecclesias
tically came next. Deacon Barnard testified
that twlco after Mrs. Davidson received the
$500 Dr. Brown called upon her to lead the
flock In prayer. Deacon Dexter will glvo the
same testimony.

DULUTH , Feb. 29. The woman who Is
supposed to have been burned In last night's
flro Is Mrs. Paul Boolweln. Several women
were removed from the top floors by a fire
man and ev-ery one escaped without Injury
except those who jumped. The building Is
almost totally destroyed. It was worth
$50.000 , partly Insured.
The upper stories of the block were used
aa tenements and a largo number of people
lived there. Within a few moments after
the flro nas discovered the building was
enveloped in flames. The occupants scantily
attired , escaped as best they could , saving
nothing. The large net with which the flro
department Is provided saved many lives from
a dozen to fifteen jumping from the second
and third story windows and were caught
safely In It. Paul J. Boolweln , a carpet
layer , was badly burned and was taken down
a ladder In a pitiable condition. His wife
tried to escape by tbo stairway but she
perished In the flames. Three other women
and ono child are missing , but It Is not
certain that they are doad. The work of
searching the ruins was begun at ouco and
a still going on.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 29. If the decision of
the house committee on naval afTnlro to make
provision for the building of six new battle
ships shall stand , the officials of the Navy
department will make an earnest effort to have
a clause Inserted In the bill requiring that
at least two of the. ships shall bo built In
government navy yards. In this elTort they do
not expect to bo strongly antagonized by the
private ship building firms of the country.
They argue that tBiere are but three concerns
now able to undertake such largo work as
the building of battleships. Onc > of these
firms has already contracted to build two
such ships and If the other firms are each
given a contract for two ships , 1L Is believed
they will bo satisfied and have as much work
on hand ns they can safely undertake. In
this case Uio navy yards would be left to
deal with two of these great vessels and that
Is exactly what all officers are anxious to
bring about.
For several years past Chief Naval Con
structor Hlchborn. has strongly urged upon
congress the wisdom of keeping together at
least the nucleus of an efficient working force
of mechanics at the construction navy yards
by providing that at least one war ship shall
bo under construction there at all times. It
would not be necessary to hurry the work
of construction along on Uiem and Injcaso of
need for sudden repairs to ships already In
service , a skilled force of mechanics would
bo always on hand to undertake the work , by
diverting them temporarily from the battle
ship , which would-'thus do service as. a stock
Job. Slnco the chief constructor's last an *
mi3l report the conditions have become much
worse nt the great navy yards , oulng to the
completion of all of the Important construc
tion work on hand.
Constructor Bowels , w&ia Is In charge of
construction at New York , says that In the
course of a few weeks there will not be.
sufficient work on hand at that navy yard to
employ even the skeleton of an efllclent force- ,
and he Is seriously concerned at the prospects
for the future. He has taken great pains to
gat the boat men obtainable for the work of
the government and holds that It will bo ex
tremely difficult or Impossible to replace them
after they are once disported. Admiral
Brown has made strenuous appeals to the
department to Ciave work sent to Norfolk to
keep the force together. In his case the
difficulties In the way of assembling a large
force of good mechanics at short notice are
greater than at New York , or any other point
where the population Is large enough to
guarantee a considerable resident population
of such men. So It Is expected tlmt. when the
navy bill comes before the house the friends
of the two construction yards will make a
strong effort to have a ship ordered to be built
nt each yard.

The Pyramid Pile Cure , the new , palnlcsi
remedy which has been so remarkably ouc-
cenaful In curing every form of plloa and
rectal dlocuacs , has .recently been placed on
sale at druggluts , and It Is tafe to aiy when
Its extraordinary merits become fully knoun
there will be no such thing as surgical op
erations for the euro of this obstinate and
common trouble.
Mm. M. C. Hlnkly of G01 Mississippi street ,
Indianapolis , Ind. , says : I had been a ter
rible sufferer from plies for fifteen years ,
and no remedies benefited me until I saw an
advertisement of the Pyramid Pile Cure ; I
Kot a package , al o a package of Pyramid
Pills , aild used both according to directions.
I was as-ton'lshed at the Immediate relief ,
and now I honestly believe the Pyramid to bo
the only certain euro for piles ,
That you may realize how bad I was , I
will Hay that I was confined to my bad and
went before the college physicians hero ,
who said my cane was a new nno lo thorn
and wanted -even or ol.ht hundred dollaru
to undertake a cure ; the great imlu iiad
brought on a rupture , and I knew an operation -
oration would bo death to me on account of
blood poisoning. Nearly every one here
knows cf my terrible suffering from plies ,
and I feel that I cannot praise the Pyramid
Pile Cure enouch. and the Pyramid Pllla
also. My husband will Join mo li highly
recommending tha Pyramid ; my daughter
was cured by one box only. For several
yeara I weighed but about 90 pounds , now I
weigh ISO and frel In perfect health.
This seemx to be the universal testimony
of every suffprer from plies who nan ever
tried the Pyramid ; It la the safest , m"Ht
painless plla cure yet dalcovcred ; contains
no opiate , morphine , cocaine or any poison
ous Ingredient whatever ; has a soothing ,
healing effect from the first application , nnd
the moderate price places It within the
