2 OPERATIONS A FAD Public Gradually Awakening to the Fact. The latest fad in operations has been the appendicitis fad; before that the fad for rectal operations (piles, etc.), held sway.

'X procured one fifty cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure of my druggist, with the intention of buying a larger box later, but was happily surprised when I found that I was cured, and still have six pyramids left out of the first and only box. 1 have not had the least sign of piles since I used this one box, which has been about two months; previous to using Pyramid Pile Cure T had the worst kind of bleeding and protruding piles for over thirty-one years, and no one knows, except those who have had the piles, the pain and misery I suffered. “I am a poor man, but have often said I would give a fortune, if I had it, to be cured of the piles, and now I have been cured for fifty cents. I should be very ungrateful if I did not thank you and give you every privi lege to use mv name and this letter, when I know there are so many who suffer as I did.”—J. A.

The boy, Bud Hackett; has served seven years of a life sentence in the penitentiary for murder. The interest taken by the little girl, who is a resident of Atlanta, touched those who happened to be in the exec utive office, and promises were given that everything possible would be done to secure the release of the aged wom an’s son.
