ONE IN EVERY FOUR.
one Person in Every Four Suffers From
Piles.


About one person in every four suf.
fers from some form of rectal disease.
TIE most common and annoying is Itch
ing piles, indicated by warmth, slight
moisture and inteuse, uncontrolla6Ie
itching in the parts affected.
THE usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times gives temporary relief, but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be ex'
peCted from such superficial treatment
The only permanent cure for itchlnS
riles vet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching pills., but for
every other form Of piles, blind, bleed
ing or protruding. The first application
gives instant relief and the continued
use for a short time causes permanent
removal of the tumors or the small para
siies which cause the intense itching and
discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afford
ed by Pyramid Pile Cure was bscfuse it
contained cocaine, opium or similar
drugs, but such is not the case. A recent
careful analysis of the remedy showed 1t
to be absolutely free from cocaine,
opium, or in fact any poisonous, injuri'
Gus drugs whatever. Sold by druggists
at 80 cents per package.

preparations to handle the big crop
that is nearly ready to be harvested.
The road has had 800 new freight cars
of the largest size constructed, nd
will use large new engines that are
capable Of hauling trains of sixty
loaded cars. Ten miles of additional
sidetracks is to be constructed at
once, and the road is giving employ
ment to several hundred laborers. A
scarcity of men is reported, although
wages have advanced from S1.25 to
SLIGO day. If the road had two
hundred more men, they could use
them on the work near Worthington.
Elevator space will be taxed to its
utmost to handle the crop when it be-
gins to pour in.
The farmers are everywhere in ex-
cellent spirits. Farm hands are be-
coming scarce, and wages are advanc-
ing rapidly. The drawing off of 3OO,-
900 men into the army and navy and
100000 to the Klondike is beginning
to tell in the scarcity of help. Under
these circumstances, there is no ex-
cuse for man being tramp.
