PROMPT ACTION
Thoroughly Cures Every Form Of
Piles.

Piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been
a pleasant surprise to thousands OF
sufferers. because of the instant re-
lief it gives and the prompt cure
which follows its regular use, and
this is done without the use of OPT
ateS, cocaine, narcotics or poisons
of any kind, as careful analysis
shows the Pyramid Pile Cure to be
wholly free from any injurious
drug whatever.
Hundreds of people who had al
most decided to undergo an opera
ton. believing nothing else would
cure them have been astonished to
ind that a fifty cent box of the
Pyramid was far safer, better and
more effective than an operation
could possibly be.
The Pyramid Pile Cure allays the
inflammation and intolerable itch
Ing, reduces the tumors, and by
its astringent properties causes
the enlarged blood vessels to con-
tract to healthy condition.
A gentleman living in Cleveland
relates his experience by saying:
1t affords me unusual pleasure to
add my endorsement to what con-
slider q really wonderful pile cure.
i was a sufferer from piles for
years until brother salesman told
me about the Pyramid Pile Cure;
1t has entirely cured me and
cheerfully recommend IT,"
Mrs. d. E. Iced, of Albany saws:
! would not take $500 and be
placed back where l was before
used the Pyramiu Pile Cure: | suf-
Tered for years and it is now eight
teen months since used ii and not
the slightest trace of the trouble
has returned"
Mrs. Hinkley, OF Indianapolis
was told by her physician that
nothing but a surgical operation,
costing between seven and eight
hundred dollars, could cure her as
she had suffered fifteen years. vet
even in such a case the Pyramid
pile Cure accomplished a complete
cure; she says: Il knew an opera
ton would be death to me and
tried the Pyramid with very little
hope, so it is not to be wondered
at that l am so enthusiastic in its
praise"
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold
by druggists at fifty cents for COM
piete treatment and as il contains
no oplate or other poisonous drugs
may be used with entire safety.
No one need suffer from piles in
any form, who will give this excel
lent preparation a trial.

The heavy rainstorm yesterday noon
caused the opening game of the second
series between Indianapolis and Chicago
to be postponed. Crowds of enthusiasts
were disappointed, for they were anxious
to see the leaders and Hoosiers come to-
gether. as a great deal depends upon this
series for the present at least
Chicago will meet Indianapolis this after
noon and the game will be called at 3:i5.
Kellum will be in the box for indianapolis,
while Katoll or Fisher will pitch for the
Chicagos. The Indianapolis team will be
stronger in the field than IT has been for
weeks. as Magoon and Madison will be
back in the game and Seybold will he sta
toned at first, while Geier will be in CEN
ter field. This will add greatly to the field
ing strength Of the team as well as TO the
batting strength. The return of these play
ers to the game will infuse new life into
the other men and Chicago should be dis
posed of.
The Indians will make a hard fight for
the series so they will then be in a position
to Jump into first place. Milwaukee lost
yesterday. bringing the Hoosiers~ a little
closer TO second place again. Tomorrow
will be ladies' day at Washington Park
and a crowd as large as attended the
games last Wednesday should be in at
tendance.
