LOBBYIST, Old Way Abolished by the State Corpor- ations. @pertad to The Bresing Wort.) ALBANY, Jan. 16—Behind the fact Chat there are fewer losfers and lobby- fats on exhiition around the Capitol than there have been in many years there fe an interesting explanation which Gemonstrates what a fine science the Protection of corporations has become in this latter age and generation. The new methods of promoting and preventing legtstation, as the exigency of the mo- ment may require, have knocked the old atyle representative of the ‘Black Horse Cavairy” type out of his honest bread end butter. ‘The new styie !s a vast improvement @m the ancient process, The corporations de not have to bother with the individual Detbyist whom they have had snapping and enarling at their heels for half a exatury. Ingtead of enduring this discomfort, the corporations simply have an annual contract weh the Gate Committes of the party in powor and are guaranteed tmmuntty from annoyance. Up to @ year or two ago the big cor porations maintained a man, or, in fact, @everal men at the Capitol to look out for their interests. Expenses Were High. ‘The expense bills of these agents used @ ron up into the thousands. ‘AM this fe done away with now, There @re no agents to mmintain, no expense Bills ¢o foot. A contract is made with the powers that be, arid “there's noth- ing doing” in the lobby. This plan is much simpler than the old-fogy methods. The Knights of the “The Teird House may threaten and Propose bills almed at corporations until they are blue in the face, but the cor- porations display not the slightest in- terest in thelr operations. The State Commtttee ts all powerful and can kill any bill the corporations want or pass any measure they demand. The lobby bas nothing to say about the matter, one way or the other. ee ‘The sole survivor from the wreckage of the Roosevelt administration got a Job yesterony.

I purchased of my drugeist three fifty-cent boxes and they completely cured me. I am once more at work, and but for this excellent remedy I would be on my back. I take great pleasure In writing this letter, because 29 many peo- ple are sufferers from thin trouble who, Ike mynelf, did not know where to look for a Permanent, safe, rellable cure." Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cu for the past three years has demonstra to the medical profession, as weil as to thousands of sufferers from piles, that it ts the safest and most effectual pile cure ever offered to the public, containing no opiates or polsons of any kind, painless and con- venient to handie, and being sold by drug- gists at 60c, and $1.00 per box, Is within the reach of every sufferer. Very often two or three boxes have made ‘ complete cure of chronic cases that had not yielded to other remedi~s for years. ‘There 1s scarcely a Glscase more aggra- vating and obstinate to cure tran the vari- ous forms of piles, and it {s a common ‘practice to use eintments, salves and similar Preparations containing Gangerous polsons to remove the trouble, The Pyramid has superseded of these ineffectual remedies, and no one suffering with any rectal trouble will make any mistake in giving the Pyra- mid a trial. ~ If in doubt as to the nature of your trou- ble send to the Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich., for a valuabts book on piles, describ- ing all forms of the disease and describing the method of cure. 5 Any draggist can furnish the Pyramid Pile Cure, as it is the best known and most pcpular remedy for piles, and if you ask him he can doubtless refer you/to many Old Civid War Guns at 50c. each.
