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

1t Is well known among medical men
that certain diseases ere more readily
developed in certain occupations than
in o.h"r' That each occupation has its
attendant ply steal weakness. Engi-
neers, railroad men and similar occu-
pations suffer mostly from kidney
troubles and men who are often expos
cd to the weather suffer from rheu
matism, while clerks and professional
men. in fact the army of people whose
business keeps them indoors. are often
times great sufferers from piles and
constipation. In this connection the
following letter is of interest to people
whose occupation will not allow sufii-
ciert outdoor exercise.
Mr.. a. F. Calhoun. notary public and
jeweler and matchmaker of Circleville,

I had been severe sufferer from
piles for years and had tried many rem
edies with but little benefit, when about
three years ago I saw the Pyramid Pile
Cure advertised and sent for it.
l was badly afflicted when I got them,
but after only two applications the
piles disappeared and from that day
to this have never felt symptom of
the disease.
I feel that l cannot recommend them
too highly to sufferers from piles
The Pyramid Pile Cure is free from
cocoaine, opium or any mineral poison.
absolutely safe, pleasant and painless;
sold by druggists at so cents per pack
age. 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
Pyramid is the best known and most
successful ami popular pile cure ever
placed on the market and its reputation
as a safe and radical cure has only re-
suited from the personal recommenda-
tion Of people who have been cured of
this distressing ailment.

HOW To FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
diseased condition of the kidneys,
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulflls every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary T. ages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad eff
feet following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasa Mt
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonder
full cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists; price fifty
cents and one dollar. For a sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by
mail, mention Tribune and send your
full pOstoftice address to DR.. Kilmer &,
Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The proprie-
tors Of this paper guarantee the gem
uineness of this offer.
