The motive. as stated In our preamble,
is to prevent destruction 10 life and prop

competition they have, and while there 70
an old proverb that competition Is the life
OF trade, they have doubtless felt at times
that they had little too much life This

been organized Ia this city what Is called
tho Builders Exchange, which Is COM

with illegitiinate competition In the way
OF irresponsible contractors. In the same
way we hope to do away with illegitimats
competition on the part OF men VINO are
not what they claim TO be, and this can
only be accomplished by the aid Of the IL

Mr.. B. Frank Bonner, IN responding to

HAS NO COMPETITOR.
One Patent Medicine which Has the
Field to Itself


prominent physician was recently
asked why 1T was there are 50 many
blood purifiers. merge tonics' and
medicines for every III except one of
the most common and annoying dis
eases, viz. piles.
He replied that there are two princi-
pal reasons: First, physicians and
people in general have thought for
years that the only permanent cure for
piles was surgical operation, and that
medicinal preparations were simply
pallatives and not cure for the trou-
BILE.
Another reason is that piles. unlike
many other diseases. is in no sense an
imaginary trouble A sufferer from
piles is very much aware of the fact
and for this reason the few pile salves
and ointments, etc. have been shorts
lived because the patient very soon
discovered their worthlessness.
He continues: However, there is d
new pile remedy which. judging from
its popularity and extent of its sale.
viii soon take the place of all other
treatment for piles. 1t has certainly
made thousands of cures in this obsti-
nate disease and its merit repeatedly
tested. has made 1t famous among ply
sicians and wherever introduced The
remedy is sold by druggists every
where under the name OF the Pyramid
Pile Cure.
II is in convenient. suppository form,
composed Of harmless ;tstringents and
healing oils, gives immediate relief in
all forms of piles and a radical cure
without resort to the Knife and without
pain or Interference with the daily oc-
cupation.
One strong recommendation for the
remedy is that II contains no cocaine
nor opium and is absolutely safe To use
at any time.
One Of the suppositories is applied al
night. is absorbed and the cure is natu-
raj and painless.
1t permanently cures itching. bleed
ing or protruding piles and is the onl,
remedy except dangerous surgica
operation that will do so.
All druggists sell complete treat.
ment OF the suppositories for 30 cent.
and the Pyramid Drug Company. OF
Marshall, Mich, will mail free to any
addrcss a little book on the cause ant
