make an address along the same lines.
With one exception, the officers and
the chief workers in the congress are
wives and mothers. Those who know
how often spinster sisters and aunts
are called upon TO care for the mother
less little ones Of others cannot deny
the value and interest of child study to
any woman, married or single. Nearly
all the teachers in the public schools
are single women, and to them such
study as the Mothers Congress is try
ing to popularize would serve almost to
revolutionize the present gadgrind sys-
tenn of education. Fully so per cent of
the women of the United States marry
and assume the most responsible and
difficult profession in the world-that of
training children to be good men and
women, and that too, without the
slightest preliminary training. 1t is,
therefore not remarkable that there are
so many failures; but if the Mothers
Congress continues to flourish there will
at least be no dearth of light on the
subject. MADGE PORTER.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS
ora View Pile Cure.

People who have suffered for months or
years from the pain and inconvenience OF
that common disorder, piles, viii look
with skepticism upon the claims of the
makers Of the new discovery for cure of
all forms of piles. known under the name
of Pyramid Pile Cure; nevertheless the
extraordinary cures performed by this
remedy are such as to warrant the in
vestigation of any sufferer. As a case in
point the following letter speaks for
itself
Mr. Henry Thomas of sub-station No. 3.
Hosack avenue. Columbus. Ohio, writes
as follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.:
Gentlemen-I want you TO use my name
if it will be of any use to you. I was so
bad with the piles that I lost work on
that account Nothing did me any good.
read in Cincinnati of the many cures of
piles by the Pyramid Pile Cure. and I
went to a drug store and asked for It,.
The drug clerk told me that he had some
thing else that he thought was better,
but I told him that 1 wanted to try the
Pyramid first
The first box helped me so much that 1
tried another and then to complete the
cure used two mere boxes. making four
in all. I am now completely cured. Have
not a trace of piles. and 1 had suffered
for four years with the worst form Of
protruding piles.
I suffered death from piles, but have
found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just
as represented. I have recommended it to
several of my friends and I am thankful
to be able to write you what good the
remedy has done for me.
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because it contains no opium,
cocaine or mineral poison of any kind,
and because it is safe and pleasant to
use, being painless and applied at night
The patient is cured in a surprisingly
short time with no inconvenience what
ever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at 50 cents per package, and if
there is any constipation it is well to use
the Pyramid Pills at the same time with
the Pile Cure as constipation is very
often the cause of piles and the pills eff
fectually remove the costiye condition.
Price of pills. is % cents per package.
Write to Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall,
Mich, for little book on cause and cure
Of piles; sent by mail free.
