Each Trade or Occupation Has Its Special
Disease:


1t is we'll known among medical men
that certain diseases are more readily
developed In certain occupations than
In others. That each occupation has
its attendant physical weakness. En-
g1neers, railroad men and similar occu-
pat1ops suffer mostly from kidney
troubles and men who are often ex-
posed 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 suf-
f1cient outdoor exercise.
Mr.. A. F. Calhoun, notary public and
jeweler and matchmaker, of Circle

piles for years and had tried many
remedies with but little benefit, when
about three years ago I saw the Pyra-

I was badly afflicted when I got it,
but after only two applications the.
piles disappeared, and from that day
to this I have never felt a. symptom

Any druggist will tell you that the
Pyramid is the best known and most
successful and popular pile cure ever
placed on the market, and its reputa-
ton as a safe and radical cure has
only resulted from the personal recon-

Judge Jamison opened the case for the
defense in an earnest statement of his side
He admitted that the accused had gone to
the house. and had talked about the stone,
and it was unfortunate that Mr.. De Laittre
had misunderstood the conversation. The way
1t had occurred was that, in talking about it,
Alexander had said that he felt certain there
was some reason for going against Mime
sofa stone. He had heard that some OF the
commissioners were S.. 900 richer because OF
their votes. This remark Mr.. De Laittre
had misunderstood as an offer Of a bride.
