STRICTLY SCIENTIFIC.
ONLY ONE PILE CURE WHICH CAN BE
CONSIDERED SUCH.

CoNSlDkfED SUCd.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly scientific both
In its composition and In its therapeutic action.
and the best feature Is that 1t is perfectly harm
less No iii effects result from its use.
The cure Is accomplished painlessly by the as
tngent properties AMI healing oils contained in it.
which cause The little tumors and congested blood
vessels to contract and the obstruction tho cir
eulation to be removed.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is in suppository form and
far superior to any salve or ointment for conven-
fence.
1t Is applied at night and absorbed into the sensi-
tive rectal membrane. acting both a local and a
constitutional treatment.
One 50-cent box Of the Pyramid has often been
enectual. even in cases Of many years standing.
Relief from pain and itching Is so immediate that
patients sometimes imagine that the remedy must
contain some form Of cocaine opium, but a care
full analysis shows it to contain cocaine anaes-
thetic or injurious drug Of any kind. 1t is guar
anteed free from any deleterious substance.
The Igature treatment, the knife, the still
more cruel Treatment by dilatation besides causing
intense pain and sometimes collapse and DEATH
are now known to have little value far
permanent cure Is concerned.
Thousands Of pile sufferers bear witness to the
value Of the Pyramid Pile Cure and even in cases
where dangerous surgical operation has failed to
surprising results have been obtained from this
remedy after a weeks use.
complete treatment Of the Pyramid Pile Cure
is sold by druggists everywhere at fifty cents.

probable, however, from the tokens of civil

Sweet Fish.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youth's Companion.
Among the queer experiences of fisher
men the following should have a place:
A man was fishing for perch in one of the
lakes of Maine. He stood near the dam.
and was fishing below. He noticed an old
barrel lying on its sidesin several feet of
water.
On examination he found that it was an
old molasses barrel, lying SO that he could
see the bunghole.
Out of curiosity he dropped his hook
through the hole. Immediately there was
a great commotion inside the barrel and
the fisherman knew he had caught some
thing. He was sure of this that he
walked half a mile to get a saw, and then
sawed a piece out of the top of the barrel,
and drew forth tbree-pound trout.
The fish must have gone into the barrel
when small and lived there ever since

THE EXTREME OF FOLLY
The most foolhardy man who ever
riSked his life, or the most infatuated
gambler who ever risked his fortune,
is sage compared with the man who
attempts to get the best of nature
The foolhardy man may succeed. The
gambler may win. But the man who
takes chances with nature is bound
to lose If the obituaries of tens of
thousands who are cut down annu-
ally Ill LIES prime were truly written
death would not be attributed to this
or that form OF disease, but to an at
tempt to evaie the necessary laws
OF health.
The weak spot in the modern man
Is his stomach. 1t is in disease of the
stomach that MANY OF the maladies
begin which carry off the busy men
OF the day The seed of disease once
planted in the stomach grows and
spreads like some climbing parasite
about tree. 1t throws out a tendril
about the heart and presently another
which grips the lungs, and others
again which take hold of kidneys and
liver. Then suddenly the man is
smitten by heart disease or lung dis
sease: or succumbs to some maIadv
OF kidneys or liver. The real seat Of
disease is the stomach. And one Of
the reasons why the disease of the
other organs often fail of a cure is
that the treatment ignores the ston1-
ach, and attempts to treat directly the
other organs, whose diseases are only
symptoms Of disease of the stomach
and the other organs of digestion and
nutrition.
THERE'S PLENTY OF PROOF
OF the soundness of the proposition
that diseases OF other organs remote
from the stomach which are caused
by disease of the stomach must be
cured through the stomach, and, in
fact, cannot be cured in any other
way. The best proof in the world is
