Remarkable Succeis of a New Pile Cure. People who have suffered for years or months from the pain and Inconven ience tif that common disorder, piles, will look with skepticism upon the claims of tho makers of tho new dis covery for cure of all forms of piles, known under the name of Pyramid Pile Cure; nevertheless tho extraordin ary cures performed by this remedy aro such as to warrant tho Investiga tion of any sufferer. As a case In point the following letter speaks for itself: , Mr, Henry Thomas, of sub-station No. 3, Hosack ave., Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows: Pyramid Drug Co.: Gentlemen I want you to use my namo If it will be of any use to you. I was so bad with the piles that I lost work on' that account. Nothing did me any good. I read In Cincinnati of tho many cures of piles by tho Pyramid Pile Cure and I went it,o a drug store and asked for it. Tho drug clerk told me ho had something else that he thought was better, but I told him I wanted to try the Pyramid first. Tho first box helped me so much that I tried another and then to complete the euro used two more boxes making four in all. I am now completely cured. Havo not a trace of piles and I had suffered for four years with the worst form of protruding piles. I suffered death from piles, but 1 have found tho Pyramid Piles Cure to bo Just as represented. I have rec ommended It to several, of my friends and I am thankful to be able to write you what good the remedy has done for me." Physlolans recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure because It contains no opium, cocaine, or mineral poison of any kind and because it is so safe and pleasant to use, being painless nnd applied at night. The patient 13 cured In a sur prisingly short time with no Incon venience whatever. The Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold by druggists at 50 cents per package, and If there is any constipation it Is well to use the Pyramid Pills at the same tlmo with tho Pile Cure, as constipa tion Is very often the cause of piles and the pills effectually remove tho costive condition. Price of pills la 25 ccntr. per package.

This particular family Jar was la beled "Economy," and everyone knows that that Is the very worst kind. It came when she asked for some money to buy a new gown. That Is when they usually come, and the strange feature of It all Is that a man who Is most particular in all matters relating to the subject of modesty In women will roar like an angry bull at the mere suggestion of spending money for clothes. Ho seems to think that a woman can go out and find such things growing on trees, as Eve did, forgetful of the fact that he would be the first to find fault with the cos tume. If you don't bslleve It, ask any woman who is married. "I should think," he said in this instance, "that one gown a month ought to be enough for'the wife of a man in my position." "It would be too much," she replied eole'ly. "I haven't had one in nearly six inontns." He was about to dispute her asser tion, but, after a rapid mental cal culation, he decided that perhaps it was not cdvlsable. "It costs a small fortune to run this house," he asserted, intent upon mak ing it interesting for her n some way. "You pay the bills," she said "and do mest of the ordering." He winced a little, but returned to the attack. "The trouble is," he said, "that you don't know the value of money." "Do you know why?" sue asked with a suddenness that startled him. "Why w hy what " "Do you know why?" she demanded again. "Now, Mrs. Marbleheal," he said, recovering his self-possession, "I don't want any of your worn-out excuses." "Do you know why?" she repeated, refusing to be turned from the orig inal question. "This foolishness must end," he ex claimed. "I" "Do you know why I don't know the value of money?" she persisted, at the same time opening her purse and italklne out a solitary quarter laJnd toying with It suggestively. In another minute slue was alone. He had retired vanquished, and Inside of twenty-four hours he had suggest ed that it would be better all round If lie made her a regular allowance for household and personal expenses, which was what Bho had been trying to convince him for two or thred years.
