CURE ron PILs-

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of want 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 neighboring organs. At
times, symptoms ofindigestion are present
hatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture like perspira.iou, producing IA
very disagreeable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant. Blind,

the application of DIR. Bosankos Pile

effected, absorbing the tumors, a%llaying

auditorium, and adding six new and
pleasant rooms for the occupancy Of

the building a neat, pleasant and conf
Portable appearance. After an exis-
tencs of one-half century. the college
now offers inducements never before
possessed. It should open on Septein-
Der second with a large class Of fresh
men. The trustees have abolished

jeetionable. Our farmers should know
that with free scholarships in the

board at Newark, they can give their
sons an education, almost at their own
doors, that will enable them to COM
pete with the world. Delaware Col |
lege has done and is doing a good |
work. She has prepared many of the
States most successful teachers. Par
ents who have decided to send their
boys to college should remember their
duty to their own State institution,
