Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Qulckl),
Painlessly, Without Danger
People go along for jenrs duffering
with piles. Then try this, nnd that
and the other thing, finm cnrrjlng a
buckeye to getting treatment from a
physician. They obtain temporary re
lief, maybe, but they are never quite
cured. A little strain In lifting, ex
cessive fatigue, a little rmihtlpatlnn or
a little diarrhoea and the plies come
back.
They don't Feem to amount to much,
but they bnnish sleep nnd appetite.
No position is comfoi table. There Is
Intense local Vain and that dieadful
feeling of weight In the perineum.
Maybe In the duly stages some of
tho many salves on sale will afford
temporary relief. If the caso Is of
long standlim there Is only one speedy
and sure remedy. It Is Pjramld l'llo
Cur? Even In light cases It Is the
safest thing to use Other .ippllcntions
may cure and may not. Pyiamld Cure
is nl wit vs certain, always reliable, al
ways brings comfort, at once. Its
prompt use snves months of bevere
suffering. In extieme caset- It will
save eurglcnl operations and their at
tendant dangers nnd discomforts. It
is better than a knife Will cure cas
ler, quicker and safer. Thousands
have used it. Thousands have been
cured by It. The cost Is trifling com
pared with what it does. The pi Ice Is
60 cents. Most anjbody would gladly
pay ten dollars to bo rid of piles.

INTERESTING SKETCH
OF J. P.WICKERSHAM
PAPER READ BY PROF. GREEN
AT COUNTY INSTITUTE.
Dr. Wickersham Was the Founder of
Mlllersville State Normal School,
the First One in the State, and He
Was Its Fiist Piincipal He Was
a Leader in the Movement Which
Resulted in the Establishment of
the Office of County Superintend
ent of Schools.
Prof. F H. Green, pilncjpat of the
South Ablngton townhlp schools, read
a biographical sketch of James Pjle
WlcUoiahain before the county teach
ers' Institute Tuesday. It was as fol
low s .
"I well lemcmbcr when he was
state superintendent of public instiuc
tlon. I well remember the time of his
death. 1 have n lends who have
known him personally. I hnve lead
with pleasuie and profit his works,
all which makes it almost seem as
though I have known him mvself,
and us 1 have studied his biography
with reference to preparing this pa
per. 1 have felt that to have known
this great and good man must have
been a lare piivilcge.
"James Pjle Wickersham was born
In Chebter county March II, 18.'5. His
ancestors weie of the uncontamlnated
blood of the eaily Quakers. They
came fiom Englnnd In the latter part
of the seventeenth century and set
tled In southeastern Pennsylvania.
Caleb Wickersham, father of James,
was one of the sturdy, intelligent far
mem of the times, and his mother
was, befoio her marriage, a success
ful school teacher
"His early history Is the same ns
that of many other giept men. In
summer he worked upon his fathers
farm, and at 16 was the best hand on
the place. He carried this same am
bitious tplrit Into all that he did, and
who will d.ue say that this Int'dllgent
energy which made him a successful
farm l.aboier, applied In other walks of
life was not the '(t-y note to his great
ness. In w Inter he attended the dis
trict school, and was always at the
head of his classes. His higher school
education was somewhat limited, being
confined exclusively to sK terms at an
academy taueht by Jonathan Gausc.
But in Fplte of all that ho was a ripe
scholai. hU pupils testify that his
knowledge ot nil branches was unusu
ally complete: his written works prove
him to have been a profound thinker,
and when Lafayette college confened
upon him the degree of LL.D. no one
thought It to be undeserved.
ONLY ONE PFPIL.
"When Wlckeisham was lfi years of
age, c. director of one of the neighbor
ing townships, went to the academy
whoie he was attending school and
ask'd the piluclpal for a teacher. Tho
reply was, 'I have but one pupil,
James Wickersham. who knows enough
to teach youi school, and he Is too
tiling.' He was given the school In
spite of his youth and, according to a
resolution of the school bonrd, taught
the best school In Brandywlne town
ship. His success as a teacher was
assuied fiom that time. In 1815 he
tojk chaigo of nn old bioken down
prlvat" schcol. Under tho able man
agement of the new teacher the school
prospered as never before.
"He was one of the leaders In tho
movement which resulted In tho estab
lishment of the office of county supet
Intenthnt, nnd, In 1851, shortly after
the passage of the uct was elected
first superintendent of Lancaster
countv.
"In "i he established at Mlllersvllle.
a normal school for teachers. Its
marked success was one of the Incen
tives for tho passage by the legislature'
In 1S'7 of the normal school law. In
l&Z? he resigned the countv superln
tendency to accept the prlncipalshlp of
the school he had founded, thus be
i (lining tho first principal of the first
state uoimal school In Pennsylvania.
"Hero he passed ten busv years,
remaining until lGfi when Oovenior
t'urtln appointed him state supeiln
tendent of common schools. Ho held
this position until ISM. being shic-coss-Ively
nppolnted by Governors Geaiy,
Hmtraiift and Hovt
"Dining the years of his state
suiilntendency many lmportnnt
change. in school laws nnd school
management were made.
DEPARTMENT ORGANIZED.
"The department of public instruc
tion wns leoiganlzed and its work
made more effective: tho light to take
land for the erection of school houses
was given to rchool boaids; county
Institutes were made compulsory, and
an nppioprlatlon was piovided for
their support. Cities und boroughs

lst"r to Denmaik, his last hluli ol'lce.
The remainder of his life until his
death in 1SJ1, was spent In business
and in literary work.
"Ills death left a blank In llteraiy
circles, his memoiy Is embalmed In
the qenerrtlon he Inbored to seive.
Dr. Wickersham has left us his
".School 1'conomy," "Method of In
junction," and "A History of Educa
tion In Pennsylvania," woiks road with
pleasuie and profit by educatois, and
woiks which will last as lonK as the
Pennsjl.inla free bchool system ex
ists. "These works aro among tho best In
their lines, they aie exhaustive tieat
Ises upon tho subjects handled logic
al and comprehensive, after a subject
is finished one feds that there Is lit
tle moro that need be said. His works
very aptly cliaracteilo the man. He
possessed a mind unusually far reach
ing. 'H hen once he took hold of a
subject, he did It with a determination
to master its details.
A MAN OF CHEAT ENERGY.
"Whun Ailing an ofllce he threw Into
It all his energies, und made himself
a power In any position he tilled. Some
of his eaylugs deserve to be handed
down to posterity as Rcms .of rare
value. In rpeaking ot the sceneiy
around a tchool house, he says 'Ac
custom a person to look upon the beau
tiful In nature and he will le.un to
apiieelate the beautiful In llfei'
"Speaking of paicntal duties In con
nection with f-chool woik, he fiijs: 'Let
children have a strong natutal consti
tution, be trained to work, eat pioper
food, dnss In a healthy manner, sleep
well, bieatho puie ah, shun luxuries
and neither fix nor ten hours a day
of hard study will do them Injury.
But If they are permitted, fiom the
age of live and upward to attend par
ties at night, sip wine, ("moke cigars,
Indulge In confections, make loe to
babies like themselves, eat what they
plense, and go where they please, all
expense for tiue educational purposes
might as well be Faedj for, under
such management the constitution can
not enduro study.'
"Speaking of teachers., he says. 'The
teacher must not forget that ho is a
citizen and a member of boclety. The
education of tho human soul is cer
tainly a task as dllllrult as that of
making shoes, or building houses. Suc
cess may be attained In any profes
sion by practice but In none aie blind
expel Iments to dangerous as In teach
ing. The highest end of tho study of
nature Is to And God In His works,'
HIS MANY SAYINGS
"I could multiply his sayings Indefi
nitely, but these nre sufliclent for my
purpose, that of convincing you that
the wotks of Dr. Wlckeisham deserve
the high plac they occupy In the edu
cational world. Although he was not
an active politician, yet he was In
terested In political matters nnd had
political aspirations. It Is t-ald of him
that In- might han been governor of
the state or United States senator had
he not been too bcrupulously honest
for the politicians. In uny public of
llce he deslted to be the gciwtnt of
tho people, unhampered by obligations
to a political machine. Ho wns In
tensely patilotle um when the var
broko out, w lulled to enlist nnd could
hae hnd a colonel's commission, but
Governor Curtln suld to him: 'I can
get ten colonels to one principal of a
normal school, ou aro doing more
good wheio ou ure.' So he staved In
the school loom until l'cnns.slvunla
was Invaded by tho Stnrs and I3ar,
then Clnclnnatus-llko he laid aside the
habiliments of school life, and took his
place nt the head of a regiment. hen
l.ce was driven back humiliated und
all clanger of northern Invasion at nn
end, ho laid aside his uniform and
sword and returned with honest de
light to his school. HIm death called
forth euloglumh from the best men of
tho utate."
