Cure for piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
Of weight in the back. loins and lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup
pose he has some affection of the kidneys
or neighboring organs. At times, symp.
toms OF indigestion are present, tlatulency,
.uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing a very disa-
greeable itching, after getting warm, is a
common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the applica-
ton of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affected, alb
sorbing the Tumors, allayins the Intense
itching, and effecting permanent cure.

Judge Gunby's position in faver of
National Aid to Public Education is certain

1t is tho duty of the General Government
to aid and foster this cause, especially in
tho South, in every legitimate way. Thou
sands of dollars of the Peoples money
have been scattered as pensions throughout
the Northern States, and 1t is only proper
that some appropriation should be made
which will aid in educationg the youths of

self. I have demanded from Mr.. Allen
the only reparation he could give mo for
this irreparaole injury and he has refused

1t only remains that ask the public,
