4 MAIL CLERKS EXPERIENCE
And what Came of.

The occupation of a railway mail
clerk Is particularly arduous and UNI
wholesome, long hours of work requir-
Ing the closest attention, nearly always
standing, confined in a stuffy car, as
we'll as the continual vibration of rapid
motion, make this occupation an unde-
sirable one from health standpoint.
A railway mail clerk on the Michigan
Central running between Detroit and
Chicago says: I'm common with many
of my fellow employees, | suffered for
some years from an obstinate attack of
piles, brought on, my physicians told
me. by my occupation. the close contine-
ment in car and being obliged to- stand
on my feet for hours together. the pain
at times was almost unbearable and
was obliged to resort to the use of oint-
mefit and salves to give a temporary
relief while l got through with my work.
/ suffered SO long frcrn piles that | real
ly had little hope of any such thing as a
permanent cure. and although had
very often noticed the advertisement OF
the Pyramid Pile Cure, yet never
thought seriously of trying 1t until one
day after suffering more than usual i
dropped into a drug store and bought a
5 0cent package. tried 1t that night
and the complete relief from pain and
itching was delightful. l expected 10 be
as bad as ever the next day, as this had
been my usual experience with pie rem
edies, but Twas asreeably disappoint-
ed. used the Pyramid for some ten
days or two weeks and for nearly four
years have not had the slightest trouble
from piles and consider my cure as little
short of marvellous
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is the most
popular and successful of any pile cure;
it is the only pile cure that is sold by
every druggist in the United States and
Canada.
Furthermore. the Pyramid Pile Cure
has been before the public for nine
years and has been tested time anc
again by hundreds of physicians and by
thousands of pile sufferers. and its re-
markable merit has been demonstrated
in every form of piles, protruding, itch
ing or bleeding.
