PERMANENcE OF CURE
The Chief Merit.

Many so called pile remedies will
afford the user slight temporary relief,
and the majority of sufferers do not
expect more than this. Women es-
pecially, after having tried every, pre-
paration recommended for the cure
of Piles, have come to the conclusion,
that there is no cure except by an
operation. This is rightfully viewed
with dread, because of the shock to
the delicate nervous system of women,
and many of those afflicted, have re-
signed themselves to the situation
with never a thought that there is
any help in sight for them.
We invite the attention of all such
TO the experience of the lady whose
address is given below.
II feel it my duty to recommend the
Pyramid Pile Cure, for after suffering
ten years with most distressing form
of Piles, I am entirely cured, thanks
to this remedy. Anyone doubling this
can write to Margaret Brady, 1856
Whitman St, Cleveland Ohio
Ten months later she writes 81 am
glad to say that 1 am still perfectly
free from Piles, and have not had the
slightest trouble since I first used your
remedy. I am well known in Cleve-
land and have advertised Pyramid Pile
Cure extensively here. I take pleasure
in doing so as it saved me from an
operation, which I always dreaded
and you are assured the remedy can
have no firmer advocate than l."
Testimony like this should convince
the most skeptical. that Pyramid Pile
Cure not only cures. but cures to stay
cured. 1t is in the form of a SUPPOSE
tory; can be applied in the privacy of
the home, directly to the parts affect
ed. and does its work quickly and
painlessly.
Druggists sell this famous remedy
for fifty cents a package, and we urge
all sufferers to buy a package now and
give it a trial tonight. Accept no
Substitutes.
Write Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall,
Mich. for their little book on the cause
and cure of piles. which is sent free
for the asking.

there employed w II. Stalnaker as
permanent engineer for the Kansas
Southern Electric railroad. Mr..
Crouch said Mr.. Stalanal1er would be-
gin surveying the line from Chanute

the fact that ne must be in st. Louis
this week to give testimony in the
case of the lola Electric railroad
against G. w. Baumhoff. which is to
come up in the federal court at Fort
scott on November u. As it is. the
work will not begin till after the cleo
ton, but Mr.. Crouch says it will be
pushed then.
Mr. Crouch said that while in Kan
sas City he had a conference with
Justin d. Bowersock of Kansas City,
Kan, receiver of the Kansas City
Olathe Electric railroad company. The
latter would like to sell it's property to
the Kansas Southern. The company
owns about S12. 900 worth of rails be-
tween Olathe and Kansas City. Its
right of way. however, is only twenty
five feet while the Kansas Southern
wants a seventy-five foot right of way
Mr.. Crouch said, however, that it was
possible some arrangement might be
perfected for the purchase of the
holdings of the road.
