themselves to prevent his capture. Both

Pile Cure VIII Cure Him; Give In
sfant Relief.

Just little pain may so distract a mans
life that II viii cost him hundreds of dol
lars. Life is u battle. To succeed one
needs all his energies and all his brain
force to apply TO the question al hand. Even
a corn Will make him irritable, cross, an
gry-and an angry man seldom succeeds.
The trihing pain of corn is pleasan;
feeling beside the agoni2ing ache OF piles.
That is a pain which seems to pervade the
whole body. IL communicates itself to all
parts near the seat OF the trouble and
brings on a heavy dragging feeling in the
perineum. Those who do not so suffer do
not know what ii means. 1t racks the
nerves, prevents sleep, prevents concen-
trated thought, and makes man lose flesh
as fast as ne would with viruient fever
And yet piles are looked upon as a little
thing They are neglected-allowed to run
on from month to month and from year to
year. By and by comes a surgical opera
tion. Maybe II cures-maybe it kills.
There is only one sure safe, and quick
cure for piles,' 1t is the Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t is recent discovery, and its properties
are such that it cleanses, soothes. and
heals the inhamed parts, reduces the in
1ammation at once, and with continued
treatment, removes all swelling and all
trace of disease. II puts the membranes in
a healthy active condition and cures COM
pletely and permanently.
From C. T. Collins, Garrett: Il COM
menced using the Pyramid Pile Cure, but
my case was so bad that | was afraid the
remedy would fail, but before | had used
two-thirds of a package | began TO feel

THE NEW METHOD OF
BLOOD PURIFYING
What the New Discovery in Medical Science
Has Accomplished.
The Prompt Way to Cure Yourself When Symptoms
Your Blood Is III of Order
THE EMINENT SPECIALISTS FREE OFFER TO ALL
READERS OF 1.-THE TINES"

For great many years it has been the
custom for sick people TO say: My blood
is out of order 1t needs purifying. l feel
all used up. Ny skin needs clearing. My
brain feels tired
They are right. but DO they act right?
They generally so and get a laxative
tbowel-cleaner) to purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels?
Science has today furnished proofs that
all the purifying that your blood needs; in
fact. all that can be done, must be done
by your kidneys. 90
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities in the blood-that is their work.
Purifying your blood is not question of
taking laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-clesner does is to throw
out the poisons confined in your bowels
ready for absorption into your blood, but
the poisons which are already in your
blood, causing your present sickness, it
leaves there.
There is no other way of purifying your
blood except by means of your kidneys.
That is why bowel-eleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kidneys.
When you are sick, then, no matter what
you think the name Of your disease is. the
first thing you should do is TO afford aid
to your kidneys by using DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great Kidney Remedy
In taking Swamp Root you afford natu-
raj help to nature. for swamp Root is the
most perfect healer and gentle aid to the
