PILES! PILES PILESI
A Sure Cure Found at Last No
One Need Suffer.

A sure cure for Blind, Bleeding, Itching
and liberated Piles has been discovered by
DR.. William, ian Indian remedy,) called
DIR. Williams Indian Ointment. A single
box has cured the worst chronic cases of
Is or 80 years standing. No one need
suffer FIVE minutes after applying this
wonderful soothing medicine. Lotions,
instruments and electuaries do more harm
than good. Williams Ointment absorbs
the tumors, allays the itching particularly
at night after getting warm in bed, acts as
a poultice, gives instant and painless RELIEF,
and is prepared only for piles, itching OF
the private parts, and for nothing else.
Read what the Hon. ]. NJ. Cofinbury OF
Cleveland says about DR.. Williams Indian
Pile Ointment: have used scores of Pile
Cures, and it affords me pleasure to say
that have never found anything which
gave such immediate and permanent relief

salaries are rldlculously small, ana their
habits expensive Yet there is not the re.
hottest prospect that they will ever
receive better paw or become more thrifty.
The reasons for this may be briefly stated.
A large number OF young men fresh from
college imagine themselves cut out for
journalists and obtain employment as re-
pOrters ON trial. A large majority OF them
play out in week or two, and fresh candi-
dates take their places; others struggle
against manifest destiny for few months
or years and then retire as dead failures,
while few, BY
HARD LABOR AND PERSEVERANCE,,
qualify themselves as competent reporters
Of these few the better portion rise to the
exalted position as managing editor, and
occasionally one of them climbs the golden
stairs to the sanctum sanctorum OF editor
in chief, or even to the silken diss of pro-
prietor.
Several years ago the remarkable specta

our highest ridges where the Crown
Bark Is completely naturalized, it at.

This comparison is made on the
