I am once moie at woik nml but for this excell ent remedy I would be on my back. I take El eat pleasure In wilting this letter because so many people are suf ferers fiom this tiouble who like my self did not know wheic to look for a petmunent, safe, reliable fine. Rxperlence with the Pjiamld Pile Cute lor the past three yoats has de monstrated to the medical profession as veil as to thousands of sufferem fiom plies .that it is the safest and most effectual ;ilo cuio ever offered to the public, containing no opiates or pois ons of any kind, painless and conven ient to handle, and being sold by drug gists at uOc. and Jl.OU pei box, Is within the reach of evetj suffeiei. Very often two or thtee boxes have made a complete cure of chronlo cases that had not jlelded to other lemedles for yeais. There is scuiceli u disease mote ag gravating nnd obstinate to cure than the vaiious forms of piles, and it is n common uractice to uso ointments, salves und similar preparations con taining dangerous poisons to leniove the trouble. The Pjinmld has supei seded all of these Ineffectual remedies nnd no one suffering with any rectal trouble will make tiny mistake In giving the Pyramid a trial. If In doubt as to the natuie of your trouble send to The Pyramid Drug Co., Marshnll, Mich., for a valuable book on piles, describing all forms of the dis ease und describing the method of euro. Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid Pile Cure as It Is the best known and most popular remedy for piles and If yod ask him he cun doubtless lefer you to many people In your own vicinity nho bave besn cured complete!), by It, Bono housekeeping In the Stone build ing on Lackawanna street.

New Skirts Ovcrskhts Tailor Suits Fancy "Waists Millinery An swers to Correspondents. The adaptability ot a last spring's costume to present exigencies Is al ways an lntetcstlng subject; the pe culiar shape however of the really new skill Is best Illustrated In very wide material where but two or three seams exist. Attempts nt remodelling are likely to end In total illscomfltttte, but nn Inznlous device is to use a hand some crepon or any other high class lniitciliil which has been lying by, as an ovei skirt, either pointed, open at th fiont or side, witli plnln wool fabric as an underskirt. Thus twosklitsmay foi in a fashionable costume, provided they hurmcnlzo In culor and weave. The circular oversklit is at piescnt in high esteem, but the tailor-made suit proper has no oveisliltt, and the ic.tlly "up-to-date" .skltt Is in two or three pieces, c seam at back and front, of one at eltliei side (which Is In lealltv a goicel skit tj or a small boll circular, incasuiinz about four jauls at the lower edge. T1IR RSSCNT1AL CHARACTCHIS TIC of the most stylish tailor suit Is a smooth-llnlshod matoilal and Invisible plaids and checks, or Bedford coid In grays, tans and greens, and their at tractions to fnbilcs mentioned In a previous letter. Hertlng-bono pat terns ate also popular, but when as suming proportions of some size are called Chevion stilpes. As an orna mentation, however, the cmbioldeied dot either in self-colors, m contrast stands alone, except In the case of ehallles, where It Is wholly without prestige. Flotal figures of considerable size on satin stripes embellish new ehallles, and plain ehallles will be In great favor, ttlmmcd with ribbon or lnscitlon. Stripes of all sizes follow the embroidered dot at a lespectful distance and plaids with dots at the Intel sections come In numeious com binations of black und white. APPLIQUR DRSIGN'S on colors will be a leading ornamenta tion, particularly for yokes or ftonts of Independent plain coloied taffeta silk waists, which ate shown by the thousand, tucked throughout or with rows of hemstitching between tucks or coids.

It has been used by quite a number of my neighbors and friends in cases of catairh and has accomplished all that you claim for it. I have used It as a tonic, and as such I find that It Is of very gieat benefit when mv neivous system is run down. I hcaitlly lecommend Pe-ru-na to those who &ufier fiom catanh or whoso nervous system is deranged. W. R. Chilton. Aii American Disease.
