THE BEST TEST


- NmS SSE~AC@ am0 Experience OF Years
The best+soldier is not the new recruit
of a few months' service
The best mechanic is not the appren-

who has been tried by years of service

This is not only true of men but of
nearly everything else, and especially is
it true of medicines for disease New
remedies must be thoroughly tested and
their merit established beyond question
before the intelligent public viii put
faith in them.
There are not many remedies which
have stood the test of ten years and
continued to increase in popularity each
year, but this is true of the Pyramid Pile
Cure and it is the only pile cure that
has stood this test. and among the many
popular medicines on the market it is
the only one which can be said to have
no competitor; its sale has steadily in

judicious advertising as because it has

the disease until I was advised by my
mother, who lived in Manistees to give
the Pyramid Pile Cure q trial.
I had never heard of it. but when
went to town 1 asked my druggist about
it. and he told me he had sold it for
years and never had a complaint of it's

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause. Generally
Overlooked.

Headache is a symptom, an indica-
ton Of arrangement or disease in some
organ, and the cause of the headache -
difficult to locate because so many dis
eases have headache as a prominent
symptom; arrangement of the stomach
and liver, heart trouble, kidney disease
lung trouble, eye strain or iii hitting
glasses all produce headaches and if we
could always locate the organ which is
at fault the cure of obstinate headaches

However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache. pain back Of

now known to be catarrh Of the head

caused from catarrh Of the stomach or

cure of the eatarrh causes a prompt
