FOUR BOXES DID 1T.


Remarkable Success Of New Pile Cure.
People who have suffered for years
or months from the pain and inconven-
ience of that common disorder, piles,
will look with skepticism upon the
claims of the makers OF the new dis
covery for cure of all forms of piles,
known under the name Of Pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordin-
airy cures performed by this remedy
are such as to warrant the investiga-
tion of any sufferer AS a case in point
the following letter speaks for itself:
Mr.. Henry Thomas, of sub-station
No. 3, Hosack ave-, Columbus, Ohio,
writes as follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.:
Gentlemen-I want you to use my
name If 1t will be of any use to you. 1
was so bad with the piles that l lost
work on that account. Nothing did me
any good. 1 read in Cincinnati of the
many cures of piles by the Pyramid
Pile Cure and l went ito drug store
and asked for 1t. The drug clerk told
me he had something else that he
thought was better. but I told him I
wanted to try the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that
/ tried another and then to complete
the cure used two more boxes making
four in all. 1 am now completely
cured. Have not trace of piles and
1 had suffered for four years with the
worst form of protruding piles.
1 suffered death from piles, but
have found the Pyramid Piles Cure to
be just as represented. / have rec
commended 1t to several of my friends
and 1 am thankful to be able to write
you what good the remedy has done
for me-"
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because 1t contains no opium
cocaine, or mineral poison of any kind
and because it is so safe and pleasant
to use, being painless and applied al
night. The patient is cured In sur
prisingly short time with no incon-
venience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at so cents per package, and
IL there is any constipation it is well
to use the Pyramid Pills at the same
time with the Pile Cure, as constipa-
ton is very often the cause of piles
and the pills effectually remove the
costive condition. Price of pills is 2t
cents per package.

HER DISQUIETING QUESTION.
Economy Was All Right in Its Way,
but Had No Chance to Practice 1t.

Economy Was All Right in Its Way,
but Had No Chance to Practice 1t.
From the Chicago Post.
This particular family jar was la
beled Economy" and everyone knows
that that is the very worst kind.
1t came when she asked for some
money to buy a new gown. That is
when they usually come, and the
strange feature of it all is that a man
who is most particular in all matters
relating to the subject of modesty in
women will roar like an angry bull
at the mere suggestion of spending
money for clothes. He seems to think
that woman can go out and find such
things growing on trees, as Eve did,
forgetful of the fact that he would be
the first to find fault with the cos
tune. If you don't believe 1t, ask any
woman who is married

instance, that one gown a month
ought to be enough fort wife of q
man in my position
"It would be too much" she replied
colCly. IT haven't had one In nearly
six months"
He was about to dispute her asser-
tion, but, after a rapid mental cal
culation, he decided that perhaps it was
not advisable.

house, he asserted, intent upon maxi
ing it interesting for her IN some way.

He WINGED a little, but returned to
the attack.
1.-THE trouble is," he said, that you
don't know the value of money"
do you know why?" sne asked with
a suddenness that startled him.
| "Why-why-what-
'Do you know why?" she demanded
again.
Now, Mrs. Marbleheal," he said,
recovering his self-possession, II don't

"Do you know why?" she repeated,
refusing to be turned from the orig
inal question.

| claimed. Il"

the same time opening her purse and
taking out a solitary quarter ahd
toying with II suggestively.
In another minute she was alone.
He had retired vanquished. and inside
of twenty-four hours he had suggest
ed that it would be better all round if
he made her a regular allowance for
household and personal expenses,
which was what she had been trying
to convince him for two or three
years.

ORANGES sALTED LIKE HAMS.
An italian Process by Which Fruit
Preserves Its Fresh Flavor.

In order to insure the proper preser-
walton of oranges and lemons, these
fruits are salted in italy as hams are
here, although the process Is slightly
different. The fruit Is culed while
still green and carefully examined.
Those found flawless are placed into
salt water, where they are left for from
three to eight days. according to their
more or less advanced state Of ynatur-
ity. They are then put away on
shelves to dry and rest.
Before being used they are Jlaced
into fresh water until the taste of salt
Is entirely gone. This treatment pre-
serves the fruit with all it's succculent
and aromatic qualities.
