nnd tho piling of new ties nlong the
line Indicates that this defect will be
remedied as soon as favorable weather

-- Pyramid Pile Cure, Cures Piles
Quickly, Painlessly, With
out Danger.
People go along for yea's" suffering
with piles. Then try this, and that and
the other thing; from carrying 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 constipation or
n little diarrhoea and the piles come
back.
They don't seem to amount to much,
but they banish sleep and appetite. No
position Is comfortable. There Is Intense
local pain ami that dreadful feeltrig of
weight In the perineum.
Maybe in the early utages some of
the many salve? on sale will afford
temporary relief. If the case Is of long
standing, there Is only one speedy and
Hure remedy. It Is Pyramid Pile Cure.
Even In light cases It Is the safest
.hint? to use. Other applications may
:u and may not. Pyramid Cure Is al
W -a certain, always reliable, always
brings comfort at once. Its prompt use
saves months of severe suffering. In
extreme vase it will save surgical op
erations and their attendant dangers
and dlscomfors. It hs better than a
knife. "Will cure easier, quicker and
Barer, Thousands have used It. Thous
ands have been cured by It. Tho cost
Is trifling compared with what It
does. The price Is GO cents. Most any
body would gladly pay ten dollars to
be rid of piles.
Druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cuic. If
yours hasn't It he will get It for you
from the Pyramid Drug Co. of
Marshall, Mich, (eole manufacturers.)

HON. DAVID MEEKISON.
Hon. David Moeklson, of Napoleon, Ohio, is a natlvo of Scotland, Ho has
served four consecutive terms as mayor of his own town. Ho established tho

afllicted with catarrh for many years. Speaking of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh rem
edy, in a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Mr. Meeklson writes an follows. "I
have used several bottles of Po-ru-na and feel greatly boncllted thoroby from
catarrh of the head, and feel encouraged to beliovo that Its continued ubo will
fully eradicate a disease of thirty years standing." It is no longer a 8urmi90
that chronic catarrh can lie cured If cases from Hftcon to twenty-five years'
standing can be cured, that ought to settle tho question as to the curability
of chronic catarrh. Pe-ru-na cures these cases. Thousands aro cured every
year. Soud for free book of testimonials.

I have all the symp

April 27, 1591: I am still using your
medicine. My health Is Improving

Catarrh Fifteen Years.
Mr. S, I. Nance, Robertson Fork,

entirely well of
that dreadful dis
ease, catarrh. I
afflicted with It for
15 years, and It
wns a very aggra
vated case for the
last live years. N..
one can possibly
realize the value of
Pe-ru-na until he
tries It for himself.
It will certainly
cure the worst
case of chronic
catarrh. I had as
had a case as I

ever saw. I have
taken seven bottles of Pe-ru-na and
every one wns worth $100 to me. I

gratefulness to you for your kindness
to me nnd the Interest you have taken
In my case."
