THE MONON PROSPEROUS ♦ ITS EARNINGS AT THE PRESENT TIME HIGHLY SATISFACTORY. The Pennsylvania and Vanilnlla Being Put In Order for Inspection—Report of the C. A E. I.— s The earnings of the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville road for the fourth week of September were $95,u93, an increase of $23,OW; for the month of September $308,068, an increase over the same period last year of $35,007; July 1 to Sept. 30, $008,310, an increase of $163,380. From an official of the road it is learned that at present the entire power of the company is in service and every car that can be commanded, and on Sunday the largest number of loaded cars was handled on the lines of any day in the company’s history. The outlook for this month and some months to come could hardly be more promising. The stone, the coal and live stock traffic of the road is heavy, and in miscellaneous freights seldom is there a larger movement. The stone traffic of this line bids fair to be largely increased by the building of a branch of the road to Monroe county, and as Col. L. T. Dickason, one of the directors of the Monon, is the leading spirit, or at least one of them, it is evident that the road will be built in the interest of the Monon. The money to build the branch and to develop the stone quarries has already been provided for. The Crafton Stone Company and the Buff and Blue Oolitic Stone Company, both incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana, have entered into a contract with the Eureka Tie and Lumber Company, a corporation organized under the laws of the same State, a very wealthy company, to construct railroad tracks and switches to the quarries of both companies for transporting the stone to the various parts of the country. Those two stone companies own and control over 2,500 acres, containing the very best oolitic building stone in Indiana or in the United States. The quarries of these companies have but one equal in the oolitic belt, the Ferry, Matthews & Buskirk quarry in Lawrence county. The stone of the above company’s quarries is known to be the very best, having been tested by the very best authority on stone in the United States. The Lureka Tie and Lumber Company will commence work on tracks within ten days after deeds for right of way are Secured and delivered. As yet the question of where the track shall start is unsettled, but this matter depends only upon the right of way, but work on tracks will be commenced either at Clear Creek or Harrodsburg, and the work of constructing the same will be prosecuted to completion rapidly as possible. The stone companies will at once commence operating their quarries, and they are now in shape to develop their immense stone quarries. This will give employment to several hundred men. The stone companies, as well as Monroe county, should be congratulated on getting such men as Col. L. T. Dickason, president of the Eureka Tie and Lumber Company, interested. W. W. VVickes, of Bloomington, should come in for a share of the credit, as he for five years past has been working earnestly to bring about the development of these line quarries.

Safety Appliance*!. By far the most important question which will come before the Interstate-commerce Commission this fall will be the extension of time in which the railroads of the country engaged in interstate commerce must equip their trains with train brake systems and automatic car couplers. The act compelling the railroads to equip their trains was passed in the closing hours of the Harrison administration after a protracted and bitter contest. The act was approved March 2, 1893, and gave the railroads about five years, or until Jan. 1, 1898, to comply with the law. The same act provided that the railroads should equip their cars with hand rails and drawbars before July 1, 1895, The whole purpose of this legislation was to insure greater safety for passengers, and to give greater security to brakemen and other railroad employes in coupling and uncoupling cars. During the five years previous to the passage of the act statistics showed that each year one employe in every 433 had been killed, and one in every thirtyone injured. Before the time for equipping the cars with hand rails and drawbars had expired many of the railroads petitioned the commission for an extension. This the commission w r as empowered to grant, and after an examination extended time when the operation of that portion of the act relating to hand rails and drawbars should go into effect from July 1, 1895, to Feb. 1, 1896. The commission is now beginning to receive petitions asking for an extension of the time in w'hich the other sections of the act providing for automatic couplers and train brakes shall go Into effect, and before Jan. 1 they must decide this important question. The railroads ask from one to ten years longer than the law provides. The last reports of the roads made to the commission upon their equipment (April 1, 1896), shows that the passenger trains were almost entirely equipped as required by law, but that only about one-third of the freight trains and cars had been w r itii the proper safety appliances. The figures on that date showed that of the 33,326 passenger cars owned by the railroads of the country, 32,334 were equipped with the automatic couplers and 32.965 with train brake appliances Os the 1,217.340 freight cars, 458,410 were equipped with automatic couplers and 360,303 with train brakes. Os the 86.285 locomotives, freight and passenger, 29,1% were equipped with the driving wheel brakes, provided for by the act. Since this report the work of equipping the freight cars has gone steadily on, hut it is doubtful whether more than 50 or 60 per cent, are even now supplied with the safety appliances required by law. The last annual report of the commission shows that 1,811 railroad employes were killed during the year and 25.696 injured, a decrease of twelve in the number of killed and 2.174 in the number of injured, as compared with the previous year. The decrease in both killed and wounded is largely attributed to the improvement and more general use of safety appliances. Members of the commission feel that in extending the time they jeopardize human life, hut they also realize that some of the railroads have not been financially able to comply with the law. It is probable that an extension will ultimately be granted. Should the commission decide not to grant an extension the railroads whose ears are not equipped Jan. 1. 1898. will bo liable to a fine of $10<) for each and everv offense against the act. By the terms of the law an employe injured by any locomotive, car or train in use. contrary to its provision, shall not he deemed to have assumed the risk occasioned thereby, although continuing in the employment of the road after the unlawful use of such locomotive, oar or train has been brought to his knowledge. Preparing for Inspection. The inspection party of the Pennsylvania lines, with Frank Thomson at its head, will inspect the Vandalla on Oct. 18, coming cast from St. Louis and stopping at Indianapolis the night of the ISth, and the next morning inspecting the Panhand’e between Indianapolis and Columbus. Ail along the Pennsylvania lines west over which President Thomson and the inspection party are to pass the system is being placed in order. The tracks have been leveled, the ditches cleaned, weeds and brush cut and the ballasting neatly graded, and at stations the agents are cleaning up things generally. This is the first trip ot Mr. Thomson over the Western lines as president of the company, and superintendents and subordinate officers are anxious that everything be in order. All are hoping for a little rain to settle the dust and give more color to the grass and shrubbt rv along the line, weeks of dust having given the roadways an uninviting appearance. With the better prospects for business delayed improvements have been commenced, more especially in grading for a second track between Pittsburg and Columbus—between R, ed and Miller stations. Hundreds of men are busy ail along the road between the points named, and three or four immense rock cuts have been partly widened. Over a mile of excavation in solid rock was necessary, and many heavy fills were required. The work will cost the Panhandle an Immense amount, but it will close up the double track and give the great main line continuous twin tracks between Pittsburg and a point some miles beyond Dennison and between Dennison and Columbus there are only about thirty-live miles of grading necessary to give the road two tracks all the way to the capital of Ohio, a distance of 193 miles. On the sin-

gle-track line between Dennison and Columbus there are many long iap sidings which can be utilized for double track construction, and from New’ark west there is a continuous double track to a point beyond the Columbus yards. New ties and steel have been distributed along the new roadbed west of Reed, and in addition to the two main tracks a long middle siding for freignt trains is being constructed. The many new stone arch bridges are solid structures which will last for ages, atid ail the tunnels are widened and arched and ready for the new tracks. After this new track is completed and laid with ninety-pound steel rails and heavy oak ties placed on limestone ballast the Pennsy will have a piece of road between the tunnel w’est of Cadiz Junction and Steubenville where a mile a minute can be made with the monster express trains. The work of putting down the new’ rails and ballast Is being pushed as fast as possible, and over twenty miles of new steel is now in use betwee;. Pittsburg and Gould. Eastern Illinois Report. M. J. Carpenter, president of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, has made public his annual riport for the year ending June 30, giving the following figures of earnings and expenditures: Gross earnings from operation ...$3,927,610.23 Operating expenses, not including taxes 2.235,031.94 Total $1,692,578.29 Taxes 188,883.76 Net earn.ngs from operation .....$1,503,694.53 Income from other sources 157,711.73 Total net earnings $1,661,406.26 Fixed charges: Interest $1,002,552.65 Rental of leased lines.. 241,156.11 Total $1,243,708.76 Net income from all sources $417,697.50 Dividend 6 per cent, on preferred stock 289,842.00 Balance of net income for this year’s operations $127,855.50 The gross earnings, as compared with the previous year, were as follows: 1896-7. 1895-6. From freight $3,115,116.09 $3,154,641.70 From passenger 677,262.15 727,414.13 From express 50,918.36 45,498.31 From mail 65.409.20 62,840.17 From miscellaneous .. 18,904.43 24,229.18 Totals $3,927,010.23 $4,014,G23.49 Mileage Ticket Inconveniences. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I have noticed two or three communications in the Journal from Mr. Ford, the general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines, in which he tries very hard to defend the indefensible new interchangeable mileage ticket. One is leu io believe, from Mr. Ford’s labored efforts, tha he is the originator of this “red-tape” ticket. At Indianapolis Monday morning, Oct. 4, passengers were delayed, put out and one lady missed her train entirely on account of the rush at the ticket office of the commercial travelers with the C. P. A. interchangeable ticket. (The length of the name corresponds to the length of time it takes to get a ticket.) Trains have to be held, making connections at junction points uncertain. I am told that at Cleveland, last Monday morning, trains had to be held about an hour on account of the great rush of travelers with this patent ticket waiting to get their exchange tickets. This must, indeed, be interesting to the general traveling public. Are not the railroad corporations becoming more and more arbitrary and unreasonable in their demands? Tuesday night, Oct. 5, on train No. 7, leaving Anderson, Ind., about 9:30 p. m. from Cincinnati to Logansport, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, a passenger asked the conductor a civil question about his ticket, when the conductor told the passenger that it was none of his business. Does Mr. Ford approve of this incivility on the part of the trainmen on the Pennsylvania lines? What are we coming to as commercial travelers in regard to this mile-age-ticket matter? I will tell Mr. Ford what will happen. Indiana will have a law one of these days similar to the law enacted by the Michigan Legislature, which says to the railroads, you shall issue and have on sale a one-thousand-mile ticket to be sold tor S2O straight, open to all. This law has just been declared valid by the Michigan Supreme Court. All commercial travelers I meet say they expect to vote next time for legislators who will bind themselves to work and vote for some such enactment as the above. I like the attitude of General Passenger Agent Daly, of the L. E & W., as expressed in the Journal of a few days ago. Boys, let our motto be henceforth, down with this Central Pessenger Association interchangeable thousandmile 1 rebate exchange ticket. COMMERCIAL TRAVELER. Kokomo, Ind., Oct. 6.

Personal, Local anti General Notes. F. L. Pomorov, general manager of the White Line, is in the city. Greenfield, Ind., has been made a flag station for Panhandle Trains 2 and 5. S. B. Liggett, secretary of the Pennsylvania Company, on Tuesday reurned from his annual vacation trip. The citizens of Butler, Ind., are much elated over the probability that it is again to become a division point. W. K. Richards has been appointed general agent of the Nickel-plate at Pittsburg, anew position at that point. Engine 333. on the Wabash, on Friday hauled seventy-seven cars from Andrews to Tilton. Sixty-two of the cars were loaded. At the Union Station. Pittsburg, there were handled in September 95,206 pieces of baggage, 12,286 more than in September, 1896. John Cliesborough, ex-general passenger agent of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern. spent a few hours in the city yesterday. The earnings of the Lake Erie & Western the fourth week of September were $lB,395 in excess of those of the corresponding week of 1896. C. L. Thomas has been appointed a division freight agent of the Erie lines, with headquarters at Meadville, vice H. C. Hastings, deceased. W. B. Sells, for several years past freight agent of the Columbus, Sandusky & Hocking road, died at Columbus on Tuesday of stomach troubles. Harry Miller, superintendent of the Vandalia main line, has purchased a lot in Terre Haute on which he will erect a fine house for a residence. The Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis directory has authorized President Thomas to close the deal, for the purchase of the Middle Tennessee & Alabama road. In the last two weeks the Wabash has hauled from Peru 107 carloads of crude petroleum, and there are as many carloads in the oil tanks awaiting transportation. L. F. Loree, general manager of the Pennsylvania lines west, is in New York attending time meetings and looking after other matters connected with his position. On Sunday next the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton will run an excursion to Cincinnati at $1 the round trip from Indianapolis and all local stations on the Indianapolis division. B. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania, and M. G. Carrel have promised to attend the annual convention of the traveling passenger agents, to be held at Nashville Oct. 12. The new offices of the Monon at Lafayette are nearing completion, and after Nov. 1 all crews will change at the new yard office and neither passenger nor freight trains will stop at Salem street. The net earnings of the Chesapeake & Ohio in September w r ere $50,214 in excess of those of September, 1896. Since July 1 an increase is shown over the corresponding period last year of $299,360. Yesterday the Vandalla received an order from one of its Southern connections for three hundred cars to load with cotton for the North. It is thought the cotton crop will now' begin to move rapidly, Ex-Trainmaster Sisler, of the Wabash, was buried on Monday at Napoleon, O. In 1893 he was stricken with paralysis. Mr. Sisler well known in railway eircles and was a very popular official in his day. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton people have decided to make no move toward anew city freight depot at this point until toward spring. The old Bee-line depot they now occupy will be repaired and used during the winter. The Louisville & Nashville will restore the 10 per cent, wage reduction made in 1 893. The road is now very prosperous, and as soon as the yellow' fever scare is over will do the heaviest traffic in its history, it is expected. The receipts from sales of tickets at Indianapolis last month over the Motion north were 40 per cent, in excess of those of September last year, and over the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton the increase this year is about 33 per cent. The Grand Rapids & Indiana on Tuesday ran an excursion to Grand Rapids from Fort Wayne and points on its line, ana It require*! four trains to carry the people, over 2.500 tickets being sold, mostly to farmers and their families. The Big Four instruction car, In charge of W. J. Hartman, which has been on the Peoria & Eastern for a month, will to-day lie transferred to the Michigan division of the. Big Four. William Garstang. superintendent of motive power of the Big Four, since building the car, has devised a nuiip-

her of minor Improvements which give much more completness to the car. On Nov. 1 the Wagner Palace Car Company will place In service on the Lake Shore road five new and expensive slceping cars. The interior decorations will be entirely of gold, the cars to be finished in poppy wood and lighted with electricity. The Pennsylvania Company will on the Bth and 9th of this month run an excursion for business men to Chicago at $5 for the round trip, tickets good to return on Oct. 10. The Monon, on tlie same dates, will run an excursion into Chicago at $5 round trip. William M. Gwinn, of Worthington, Ind., writes that on the 26th of this month it will be fifty years since the first passenger train arrived at Indianapolis, and that there are now three men living, he being one of the number, who rode on the first train into Indianapolis. Charles F. Adams, joint ticket agent during the G. A. R. gathering at Buffalo, Is now ready to close up the business; all but 463 of the tickets sold good to return on have been called for and the arrangement has proven a decided success. For once the scalpers were outgeneraled. On the Indianapolis & Vincennes and on the Richmond, Cincinnati & Toledo divisions every conductor who is eligible is a member of the Pennsylvania voluntary relief department, and on the Cleveland & Pittsburg, the Chicago & Richmond divisions engineers who are eligiblo are also members. The American. Association of Merchants and Travelers has made application to the Western Passenger Association for reduced rates to be made for another meeting of its members to be held in Chicago from Nov. 3 to 10. The matter will be laid before the meeting of the executive committee of the Passenger Association to-day. The annual convention of freight claim agents convened in Chicago yesterday, with an attendance of about 150 delegates from all parts of the country. The matters discussed by the meeting yesterday related entirely to methods of handling freight and exchanges between the different railroads. The meeting may last several days. The meeting of the freight officials of the Western roads, which has for its object the withdrawal of the low freight rates in the territory of the Western Freight Association, has not accomplished much of anything as yet. Everybody is of the opinion that the low r rates should be withdrawn, but nobody seems willing to be the first one to rake them out. There is no truth in the report that J. B. Garrett, third vice president of the Lehigh Valley road, has resigned as member of the board of managers of the Joint Traffic Association on account of some friction. He retired for the reason that Charles Hartshorne. vice president of the Lehigh Valley road, is going to Japan on a four months’ trip and Mr. Garrett must look after his duties while he is away. There is the best of authority for stating that there is not the least grounds for the rumor which has been floating about of late to the effect that negotiations are pending looking to a consolidation of the Lake Erie & Western and the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton or their becoming more closely identified, or in the report that the Brice syndicate has secured controlling interest in the C., H. & D. stock. The owners of the C., H. & D. know’ they have a very valuable property and are disposed to hold on to it despite all rumors to the contrary. Official notice has been given by the Union Pacific to its connections in Chicago that the negotiations between that road and the Oregon Short-line have been brought to a conclusion w ithout any of thee matters in dispute being settled. There w r as a report some days ago that the trouble had been adjusted, but the notice sent out by the Union Pacific settles that matter conclusively. The Union Pacific absolutely refuses to consider any proposition w’hich embraces as a p.v* of it the allowance to the Oregon Short-line of greater proportions than the established ones to all of its connections and to all the other roads in the country. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad was held in Louisville yesterday. The old board of directors was re-elected, with the exception that F. A. Horsey was chosen to succeed J. A. Horsey, deceased. The board selected the officers. The annual report of President Milton H. Smith shows that the general results from operations for the year were: Gross earnings, $20,372,307.65; operating expenses, 67.98 per cent., $13,849,218.04; net earnings from traffic, . 32.02 per cent., $6,523,089.61, to which add income from rents and investments. $427,063.82. making a total income of $6,950,153.43. Taxes, interest and expenses for the year left net earnings of $979,180.09. The outstanding bonded debt, June 30. 1597, was $80,503,660.

BOARD OF HEALTH BULLETIN. Responsibility for Typhoid Fever and Hog Cholera. The bulletin for the State Board of Health for the quarter ending Sept. 30 deals with two important matters. It scores the public in general and health officers in particular for the great loss which occurs every year on account of hog cholera and typhoid fever. The claim is made that these diseases can bo prevented and practically wiped out of the State. They come exclusively from the water used and the advice is given that hogs be given nothing nut well water and that water used by people he boiled before using. The bulletin takes the physicians of the State to task for failing io report deaths. The bulletin presumes that this is because the physicians are willing to become violators of the law' rather than admit that patients die in their charge. On this subject the bulletin says: “Compared with the quarter ending March 31, this quarter shows 497 fewer deaths. Diphtheria deaths decreased 112; cases decreased 369. Tuberculosis deaths decreased 41; pneumonia deaths, 327. Scarlet fever deaths increased 3; cases decreased 143. Typhoid fever deaths decreased 24; cases decreased 42. By this quarter’s report the annual death rate of the State would be 5.7 per I.OUO, counting the population at 2,GUO,WA). As the rate qjinnot possibly be less than 18 per 1,00), it is plain that not more than onethird of the deaths are reported. This is a reflection upon the medical profession, for the county secretaries each quarter complain that ‘the doctors will not report.’ As the law (R. s. 1894, Section 6720) clearly commands physicians to report ‘all births and deaths which may occur under their supervision, ’ it is plain that there is considerable lawbreaking going on. That this law-breaking is deliberate is proved by the tact that births are well reported, while deaths are only one-third reported. There is no reason why physicians should not obey the law like other citizens.” BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. Light*! Located. The board located electric lights at the intersection of South State avenue and Sycamore street and at the intersection of Cottage avenue and Draper street. Cooti act Awarded.

ROW WITH THE JUSTICE MAGISTRATE HAY FUSES WITNESSES FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT. ■ • Snit of a Child Wife for Support— Payments at the Hank and Elsewhere—Court Notes. John and William Kurtz were before Magistrate Hay yesterday afternoon charged with assaulting each other and the latter with whipping his wife. They are next door neighbors of the magistrate, living at (old) 74 W'oodlawn avenue. The neighbors complained that William Kurtz had a habit of periodically whipping his wife and that he and his father, John Kurtz, were given to “scrapping" frequently until they kept almost a constant uproar which disturbed the peace of the neighborhood. Frank ilattler was the attorney for the Kurtzes and he advised them to refuse to testify and when called upon they refused to take the oath. Magistrate Hay finfed them $5 each for contempt and added three hours in jail and went on with the case, not, however, until he had sent Mattler out of the room in charge of a constable. The men were convicted of the offenses charged against them and were about to be taken to jail on the contempt charge when the scene was transferred to the Criminal Court, where Attorney Mattler had liled a writ of habeas corpus application. Judge McCray dismissed the whole proceeding because the three hours had expired before the case reached him. Magistrate Hay said after the case was disposed of that he had probably made a mistake when he made the commitment against the Kurtzs for contempt, but the mistake was in r.ot adding the name of their attorney. ASKS FOR SIO,OOO. Fireman Albert C. Rees, Run Dotvn by a Train, Sue* for Damages. Albert C. Rees, a member of the city fire department, brought a SIO,OOO damage suit against the Pennsylvania, the Indianapolis Union and the LE. & W. Railway corporations yesterday on account of injuries received Nov. 4, 1896 while crossing the tracks at Delaware street. Plaintiff was seated with a driver on ladder truck No. 2, which was returning from an alarm of fire. The truck was run down by an Li. E. & W. passenger train and the men were thrown off. The plaintiff w r as taken to St. Vincent’s Hospital, and from there to his home, where he was laid up for a period of live weeks. He avers that the accident was partly due to the negligence of the flagman stationed at the crossing. The defendants are held accountable for permitting a box car to stand on the crossing in such manner as to make It impossible for the plaintiff to notice the approaching train. It is claimed the flagman was guilty of negligence in signaling the truck to proceed across the track with the knowledge he had, or could have had, with the exercise of care and diligence, of the approach of the L. E. & W. train. SUIT BY A CHILD NVIFE. She Asks that Her Youthful Husband lie Required to Support Her. Ella Swafford, by her next friend, John D. Durham', began an action for support yesterday against her husband, William M. Swafford, who is not yet of age. The plaintiff is but seventeen. She lives with her father, John B. Durham, at No. 130 Bright street. The complaint avers that the young people were married July 23, last. On the following day, the plaintiff claims, she found herself a deserted bride. Swafford left her, she says, without explanation and did not return until Oct. 2. He remained with her two or three days and then left. The plaintiff says the defendant has about $2,000 worth of real estate, the rents on which are insufficient to support her. She asks the court to have tht; property sold and an allowance made her. She claims she has had to make her own living since the desertion of her husband. Theodore C. Whitcomb, who is Swafford’s guardian, is made a defendant to the suit. Mint Fay at the Bankn. The Appellate Court yesterday decided the case of Perry R. Tully against the Citizens’ State Bank of Plainfield. The case was tried in Morgan county and the bank received a judgment on a note for $2,675. Tully gave his note to the bank and he showed conclusively that he had paid the full amount of it to President Hadley, of the bank, but the money had not been applied to the payment of the note. The question at issue was whether money paid to the president of a bank while not at the bank could be made to extinguish a debt, whether the president applied it to that purpose or not. Part of the money had been paid over at Atlanta, Ga„ and part at various other places. The Appellate Court agrees with the lower court that the bank is not bound by such payments unless it actually receives the money and credits it on the books. Judgment Set Aside. A judgment which Anna Eucas obtained against the L. E. & W. Railroad for SBOO was set aside by the Appellate Court yesterday on the ground of insufficiency of the complaint. The woman was ejected from a train for refusing to pay her fare. She claimed that the cash fare demanded bv the conductor was excessive. The Appellate Court, in reversing the lower court, says that it is not fair to presume that the company was wrong, but its wrong-doing must be shown affirmatively.

ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD. A New Discovery Which Is Worth That Much. To Any One Afflicted With Pile*. The Pyramid Pile Cure, the new, painless remedy which has been so remarkably successful in curing every form of piles and rectal diseases, has recently been placed on sale at druggists and it is safe to say that when its extraordinary merit becomes fully known, there will be no such thing as surgical operations for the cure of this obstinate and common trouble. Mrs. M. C. Hinkly. of o*ll Mississippi street. Indianapolis. Ind., says: I had been a terrible sufferer from piles for fifteen years and no remedies benefited me, until I saw an advertisement of the Pyramid Pile Cure; I got a package, also a package of Pyramid Pills and used both according to directions. I was astonished at the immediate relief obtained and now I honestly believe the Pyramid to be the only certain cure for piles. That you may realize how bad I was. I will say that I was confined to my bed and went before the college physicians here who said my case was anew one for them and wanted seven or eight hundred dollars to undertake a cure; the great pain had brought on a rupture, and I knew an operation would be death to me on account of blood poisoning. Nearly every one here knows of my terrible suffering from plies and I feel that I cannot praise the Pyramid Pile Cure enough and the Pyramid Pills also. My husband will join me in highly recommending the Pyramid, my daughter was cured by one box only. For several years I weighed but about ninety pounds, rfbw I weigh 150 and feel In perfect health. This seems to be the universal testimony of every sufferer from piles who have ever tried the Pyramid; It Is the safest, most painless pile cure yet discovered; contains no opiate, morphine, cocaine, or any poisonous ingredient w hatever, has a soothing, healing effect from the first application, and the moderate price places it within the reach of everyone needing treatment. The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by druggists at 50 cents and $1 per package and the Pyramid Pills at 25 cents per box. Send to Pyramid Cos., Albion, Mich., for free book on cause and cure of piles.
