SIMPLE AT FRS
It is Foolish to Neglect Any Form of
Piles, Cure Them at the BEGINNING.

Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even
in the worst stages, without pain or
loss of blood, quickly, surely and COM
pletely. There is only one remedy that
will do it-Pyramid Pile Cure.
It allayS the Inflammation immedi-
ately, heals the irritated surface and
with continued treatment reduces the
swelling and puts the membranes into
good, sound, healthy condition. The
cure is thorough and permanent.
Here are some voluntary and unso-
licited testimonials we have lately re-
ceived:
Mrs. NJ. c. Hinkly, COL Mississippi
street, Indianapolis, Ind, says: Have
been a sufferer from the pain and an
noyance of Piles for fifteen years, the
Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills
gave me immediate relief and in a short
time complete cure.

Il am firm believer in home rule
and the abolition of police commissions
and l voted as strong as any legislator
for it, but 1 am greatly opposed to any

put Fort Scott under home rule let
him do likewise with the remainder of
the cities of the f1rst-class in the state
They are just as capable and Compel
ent to run the police affairs as we are,
and if commissioners are reappointed

should by all means be abolished in all
six of the cities of the first-class"
