COULD TRY THEM ALL
A Drug CLERKS Experienee.

The following letter from Mr. H. B.
Stark, 1922 Pine ST, Scranton, Pa, ex-
plains itself and will be of interest to
thousands who have suffered the tor
lures of that common trouble, hemOrr-
holds or piles.
Mr.. Stark says: Il feel it my duty
to write an unsolicited Testimonial re-
garding the Pyramid Pile Cure. Since a
boy I have suffered untold agony from
piles. I have tried all available reme-
dies, consulted many physicians, but
without help or even relief. I have been
employed as a drug clerk for the past
fifteen years, consequently have been in
a position where could try all of the
new and old remedies for piles, but as
before stated to no avail.
About six weeks ago I was again suf-
fering from my old trouble and as an
experiment tried the Pyramid Pile
Cure, and let me say that it gave in
stant relief and am now. wholly cured.
I am sure also that the cure is perma-
nent.
shall always recommend the Pyra-
mid to anyone suffering from any form
of piles and shall do what I can to ad-
vance the sale of so excellent a reme-
dy." Signed H. B. Stark.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the most
popular and widely known of any rem
edy ever offered for piles.
1t is the most popular because it is
the most successful 1t cures every
form of piles without pain or detention
from daily occupation and contains no
Opiate of cocaine or any poisonous OF
injurious substance.
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile
Cure at so cents for full sized pack
ages.

MAY KEEP ALLEN OUT.
Question Raised as to His Title to
Seat In the Senate.

Omaha, Neb.. Dec 16-The question
is being raised as to whether William
V. Allen, appointed senator from this
state can be seated. The contention of
some is that Hayward never having
taken his seat, the whole matter is in
the same position as in states where
the legislature failed to elect at the ex-
piratiOn of the term of his predecessor
The question is said to have OccasiOned
Hayward considerable worry before his
death. Several lawyers who have been
decided opinion. Some were of the i'm
preston that the legislature having
made an election, the failure of the par
ty elected to qualify would not deprive
the state of the right to representation.
Others of equal prominence were in
doubt about it.
