There is none of us ao hardened but that when we have been able to aid our fellow creaturea by conferring a benefit or bring lng little comfort Into their Uvea we like to have appreciation ahown. Thia generally affords more pleasure than the performance of the act Itself, and in thla connection the following letter from a Texas lady is of more than usual interest: 'Dear Frienda: I address you aa auch for you have been auch to me. I suffered for three years off and on with piles. I was treated at the hospital, and the new and elegant hospltsl of Memphis; they only gave me temporary relief. I came west thinking the chsnge of air and water would benefit me; Ave months ago the bleeding pilea came back on me and bled ao much that I thought I would die. , "I have had tour of the finest doctors I this section of Texas; all they did was to finally nearly let me go to my grave all they wanted waa a big sum of money from me and to operate on me. I said no, no surgeon's knife would enter me; If it was my time to die God knew It, and when I died I would die all together. "I began hearing about your medicine I had no faith In you, but I sent and got box of your Pyramid Pile Cure; In two days the blood flow had alackened to one-half the amount, and in one week I felt ao much better I walked tour blocka and did a littl housework. I was not bleeding then; three weeks I was well. "God bless you for putting such a wonder ful medicine within the reach of sufferin men and women. I shall never cease' to recommend your medicine or be without it also I used your Pyramid Pills. Sallle Hearndon, Paris, Tex." Testimony like this (for the genuineness of which we vouch) should be more con viucing than all claima and assertions, and should leave no doubt In the mind of th reader as to lh urlt of the remedy, Pyramid Pile Cure la sold by druggist, for 50 cents a package, or will be mailed by the makers to any address upon receipt of price.
