The Cresco papers report marked
! improvement in the condition Hon.
John McHugh under treatment of DR..
Keith, OF Ohio, and promises of better
things are given. .-Decorah Republican.
And that q full realization of the i'm
provement in his condition may be
understood, it is only necessary to con-
trast his present physical condition
with what it was three weeks ago, and
had been for the previous five months.
Last summer Mr.. McHughe's con-
dition was such that he started for
Hot Springs, S. D., for treatment,
going as far as Sioux City, where it
was reported, consulting with eminent
medical authority he was advised to
return home, his condition being con-
sidered too critical to justify the ex-
pertinent of.treatment there.
After his return physicians from
Davenport and Chicago were called in
consultation with our local physicians
who had his case in charge, the pa
tient growing gradually worse from
week to week, his feet and legs be-
coming entirely insensible to touch or
pain. 1t was reported that the Chica-
go physician to test the loss of sensa-
tion to pain or feeling with pins prick
fed his lower extremities, and his legs
finding them entirely insensible to
tough or pain, and under the five
months treatment there had been no
improvement, and no change except
for worse. During all this time he
had absolutely no use Of his legs or
feet and was entirely unable to move
either, and had not borne particle of
weight upon his feet for at least four
months.
This was his condition when DR..
Deith began treatment the 18th of
February. In the mean time his feet
and legs have had their circulation re-
stored and are as perfectly sensible to
touch or pain as they ever were. Not
only this but he is able to move his
feet, raising them when in bed, to
draw them up in bed, to get from his
bed into his chair without help and so
return to bed, to sit up three or four
hours at time and to read and en-
JOY his papers and the news, all OF
which had been impossible before DR..
Keith's treatment.
That there should be shrinkage of
the unnatural and bloated condition of
the extremities is not only natural
but desirable as the muscles were full
Of impure matter from which they
must be removed before healthful
condition can be restored.

me OF THE BEST FEATURES
OF the Pyramid Pile Cure.

Is the fact that it cures every form
of Piles without one particle of pain
This desirable point is not obtained
by the use of injurious opiates which
simply deaden and paralyze the
the nerves of the parts and makes
matters worse in the long run. But
it is done solely by its remarkable
healing and soothing effects.
And while it thus gives immediate
relief, at the same time the disease is
not merely checked, but a radica
cure is rapidly accomplished.
And the point we want to make clea,
is that all this is done without parti
Gle of pain.
This fact is one reason for the great
popularity Of the Pyramid Pile Cure
and constitutes one very great differ
ence between it and almost any other
kind of treatment for Piles.
Every kind of surgical operation
for piles is excruciatingly painful
besides endangering the life OF the
patient and IN most cases is not to be
compared with the Pyramid Cure,
neither in making successful cure:
without pain nor in cheapness and
safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been
before the public too loug, and its
merits recognized by too many people
to allow it to be classed with tn.
many salves, supposit tories, pills, etc.
and you run no risk in trying it, as il
often the case with new and untried
preparations.
If you are ever troubled with any
form of piles or rectal disease do not
forget the Pyramid Pile Cure. Pre-
pared by the Pyramid Drug Co., Of
Albion. Mich, and sold by druggists
at SO cents per package.
