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 suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, flatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, after getting
warm, is common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles, yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosan-
quo's Pile Remedy, which acts direct
ly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the T.umors, allaying the intense Itch
ing, and efecting a permanent cure.

The Town Talk says my letters
have benefited the cause of the rail

so are fools or am a fool, which last

Upon such question the judgment of

Let us have a wise man to decide
which is the fool Where is he to be
found ? The Toa0n Talk office is barr
ed by it's interest, of course. Blythe
way, if the I0wn Talk will give the

say so, the Judge, when found, might

The convenience, safety and economy of this new system, which has been so much appreciated by the public throughout all the States and Terrl- tories, will now be unavailable to the residents of Arizona. We do not be lieve the territorial law to which we were referred, properly construed, imposes any tax upon this branch of the express business, but the profits are SO insignificant we deem it prefer able to withdraw their sale rather than go the expense of contesling the ques- ton in the courts" It IS to be hoped that the company will reverse their ruling, as their system of money or ders was a great convenience to our people.
