IMPORTANT To SUFFERERS.
HOW YOU MAY OBTAIN A LASTING
CURE FOR PILES.
No Surgical Operations, No Pain, Tri-
fling EXpense--A simple. Harmless
remedy, but II Does the Work.

There are some people who have
piles as frequently and regularly as
other people have colds.
Any little bowel trouble will bring
them on, any extra exertion, as in lift
ing, will produce them, and in fact
will often appear without any appar-
ent proVOcation. Piles, however, are
much more serious than a cold, as the
tendency is always to grow worse until
the trouble becomes deep seated and
chronic, or developes into some fatal
rectal disease.
While there are many pile remedies
which give relief yet there is but one
which not only gives instant relief but
at the same time makes a permanent
cure. and that is the well known Pyra-
mid Pile Cure.
This remedy is composed of simple,
harmless, vegetable ingredients, but
combined so effectively and act so
rr' mptly and thoroughly that it cures
eN cry form of piles, whether itching,
blind, bleeding or protruding.
In long standing cases the Pyramid
Pile Cure has proven to be the only
certain cure except a surgical opera =
tion, and its advantages over an opera
tiOh are many, as it is painless causes
no delay, no interference with daily
occupation and last but not least, it
is cheaper than any surgical operation
could possibly be, costing but a dol
lar package at any drug store
The cases that the Pyramid Pile Cure
will not reach are so few that ply
sicians are doing away with operations
for piles, and depending on this cheap
but effective remedy to accomplish a
complete cure. and it never disappoints
except in cases beyond the reach of
medical skill.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
by the Pyramid Drug Co. of Albion,
Mich, and for sale by druggists every
where at 80 cents per package Each
package contains a treatise on cause
and cure of piles, together with testi-
monials from every section of this
country.

There sits the happiest man
in the Indian Territory today"
said Marshal Stowe to the ARD
MoREITE reporter, pointing to
an old. gray-whiskered man
seated in Il coach of the north
bound passenger at noon.
The man was j. l.. True, who
has been in Jail here for a long
time on a larceny charge. His
excellent conduct in the Jail at
length secured for him the po-
sition of ''trusty," where he
still proved faithful. The old
man is 62 years of age and had
often expressed himself that
this was certainly a lesson to
him, and in the future he
would live an honest life. His
age, sympathy of the officers
for his family and other sur
roundings eventually secured
his release on bond. His JOY
at this unexpected turn of for
tune and the prospect of meet
ing his family, who live at Pur-
cell, made the old man appear
every bit as happy as he was
described by Mr.. Stowe.
