REACHES SEAT OF TROUBLE.
Don't Try To Cure Hemorrhoids With
External Application.

When it is such a we'll known fact
that hemorrhoids or piles is disease
originating in the morbid dilatation of
the veins of the lower part of the rec
tum, it seems incredible that people
afflicted with this painful trouble
should go on doctoring with external
salves and washes, when the diseased
parts can only be reached by an inward
application.
The suppositories used in Pyramid
Pile Cure are composed of the most
soothing and healing oils and lotions
known to Materia Medica, and act on
the diseased veins and surrounding
tissues like magic, giving almost in
slant relief. The dilated blood vessels
are relieved, the irritation of the mu-
cous membrane ceases and bleeding is
stopped.
The predisposing causes of piles are
such as produce fullness of the hem
orrhoidal veins and impede the return
of blood from them, such as constipa-
ton, sedentary habits, city life, preg-
nancy, corsets, ETC.: in fact the causes
are all fully covered in a very interest
ing little book published by the Pyra-
mid Drug Co., Marshall Mich, and the
same will be sent free to any address
upon applications p '9isi@l
The general principles of treatment
are, according to the evident causes,
active habits, attention to diet, and
other hygienic rules, etc, avoidance OF
constipation and each night the mice
ton of a Pyramid suppositbry to heal
and cure the afflicted parts:a,'.
That this treatment has peen effec-
tive is instanced by the testimony OF
thousands of people who have been
permanently cured and by the evidence
of druggists the case of Mr.. Samuei
Gouldie, 526 Moyamensing Ave, Pnh-
adelphia, is a fair sample.
For twelve long years | suffered
terrible torture from piles. had been
under two surgical operations once IN

March 3, 1862 he married Eliza A.
Burgess. She died April 25, 1865.
February 90, 1867 he married Della M.
Bruce. His son, George II. Wal
bridge was married October II, 1900.
He is a graduate of Cornell Univers-
ity and is now living in New York
city, making the science of electricity
his special business.
In 1876 Col. Walbridge was con-
nected with T. w. Parks Railway
Company at Panama. He remained
there one year, but finding he could
not stand the climate he returned.
Colonels in Vermont and some
southern states do not signify that
such person has faced the guns,
but in the case of Jas. H. Walbridge
it is different. He served three years
and seven months in the civil war and
was promoted in rank from captain to
colonel.
He had an attack of spinal trouble
and upon consultation of three emin-
ent surgeons his discharge was recon-
mended.
He was in 10 engagements including
the battle OF Bull Run and received
only a slight injury to one leg during
the long term of service.
He is a man Of large experience in
things pertaining to business life and
has travelled extensively. He seem:
to enjoy good health and it is q
pleasure to pass an hour or more il
his company and listen about tn,
many important events occurring il
the years gone by with which he i,
