Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of the
abdomen, causing the patient TO suppose he
has some affection of the kidneys or neighbor-
ing organs. At times symptoms Of Indigestion
are present, as fiatulency, uneasiness of The
stomach, etc. moisture like perspiration,
producing a very dsagreeal Q itching, partic-
very common attendant. Blind Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the application of
Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts directly
allaying the intense itching, and effecting q
permanent cure where all other remedies have
failed. Price 80 cents. Sold by Q, schasse, A,

GOVERNOR REPLIES /:

Hon. j. Il. Mason, San Antonio Texas
AUSTIN, TEXAS, June s, 1sS3.-Dear Sir I
have your favor OF date the 4th inst. Your
complaint about lunatics from Bexar county
is buta repetition from nearly every county in
the state. | am surprised to learn from your
letter that patients from your county have
been admitted within the last Is months. Some
counties have not been so fortunnte. Your
letter implies that your county is not getting
"a fair showing ut the asylum. j am sure you
do not by this intend to impute TO the Board
of Managers. the Superintendent any in
tenton of doing wrong. You say that the
answer of the Superintendent Is not satisfac-
tory, but you do not say In what particular |
have referred your letter to the Super
intendent.
You are aware of the fact that presented
this whole matter to the Legislature in a way
las thought that would most efficiently ac-
complish something. In few months the
addition to the asylum here will be 4, a condi-
ton 10 accommodate some 300 more patients,
and we are pushing forward rapidly the North
Texas asylum work.
am sir, very respectfully yours,
JOHN IRELAND Governor.
