A Conversation With a Climax
When a Professional Man Talks, It's
 to the Point.

Several famous American physicians CT after a session of a national meeting held in New York.
 Il had a remarkable case this winter" remarked a surgeon present. whose name as a specialist in rectal diseases is world wide. My patient was a woman, a deli cate, nerve racked creature, who had suffered so fearfully from the ravages of hemorrhoids, that the knife seemed the only solution of the trouble, and yet her heart was weak and her strength so wasted by this fearful disease, that we dared not operate.
 .'I had ceased my visits to her for a time and had given up all hope. when one morning she entered my office looking like a new woman; the pallor had dis appeared and the lines of suffering were nearly eradicated from her face. She told me that she had purchased a pro- prietory medicine, namely Pyramid Pile Cure, and that from the first insertion of the suppositories she had obtained instant relief. I made an examination and found the rectum fin excellent condi- ton. the inflammation entirely disap- peared and the swollen veins in normal condition.
 T was so interested fin the case that I nad the Terheuy alld4yLtu oAuIiy anu was so pleased with the result of the analysis, finding a combination of the most healing and scientific remedies present in the Pyramid Pile Cure and in a more convenient form than I could se- cure them otherwise, that I wrote to the Pyramid Drug Company at Marshall, Mich, asking for their booklet on Piles. their Nature. Cause and Cure, (which by the way Is sent free.) and have since used their Pile Cure extensively and with best results in my practice I do not hesitate to recommend it to you all. It will often save your patient from pain ful surgical operation which in many cases results fatally" wed-sun.

Danger of Colds and Grip.

The greatest danger from colds and grip is their resulting in pneumonia If reason- able care Is used, however, and Chamber lain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thous- ands who have used this remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that 1t is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. It will cure a cold or an attack of the grin in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all druggists. ady-tf.
