WHAT'S YOUR TRADE?
Each Trade or Occupation Has Its
Special Disease.

1t is we'll known among medical men
that certain diseases are more readily de-
veloped in certain occupations than in
others. That each occupation has its at
tendant physical weakness. Engineers.
railroad men and similar occupations
suffer mostly from kidney troubles and
men who are often exposed to the wealth.
er suffer from rheumatism, while clerks
and professional men. in fact the army of
people whose business keeps them indoors
are oftentirnes great sufferers from piles
and constipa ton. In this connection the
following letter is of interest to people
whose occupation will not allow suffi-
cient outdoor exercise
Mr. A. F. Calhoun, notary public and
jeweler and matchmaker of Circleville.
w. Va. writes as follows:
have been severe sufferer from piles
for years and had tried many remedies
with but little benefit, when about three
years ago saw the Pyramid Pole Cure
advertisement and sent for it.
I was badly afflicted when got them,
but after only two applications the piles
disappeared and from that day to this I
have never felt symptom of the disease.
I feel that I cannot recommend them
too highly to sufferers from piles
The Pyramid Pile Cure is free from
cocaine, opium or any mineral poison. alb
sOlutely safe, pleasant and painless: sold
by druggists at so cents per package. If
there is any constipation the Pyramid
Pills should be used with the pile cure.
The pills are 25 cents per package.
Any druggist will tell you that the Pyra-
mid is the best known and most success
full and popular pile cure ever placed on
the market and its reputation as a safe
and radical cure has only resulted from
the personal recommendation of people
who have been cured of this distressing
ailment.
Send to Pyramid Co., Albion. Mich. for
valuable little book on cause and cure of
piles.
