The 'tin-horn" politicians, police
court shysters and political accidents,
with which every county is afflicted
are very solicitous about maintaining
the credit of the country and throw
up their hands with an expression OF
horror at the populist suggestion OF
an issue of greenback money, limited
in its volume by law, and say: Yes,
you fiat money men, want to print
money and make it SO plentiful every
man will have a peck etful," etc. Tell
them of Grover Cleveland's method
of issuing bonds under John Sher-
mans resumption act; he could, I'M
less congress should interfere, issue
bonds until they would not be worth
the paper upon which they are print
ed. Talk about "Populist lunatics!'
What do you think of laws permitting
the president and his secretary of the
treasury, to bond, at their discretion,
to an unlimited amount, the people
of this country? There is an example
of old party craftsmanship which
smells to high heaven.

A Source Of Surprise to Physician and
Patient Alike.

DR.. Redmond, specialist in the
study and treatment of piles and rec.
tai diseases, recently stated that the
| Pyramid Pile Cnre, the new dis
covery for the cure of piles, was the
most remarka BILE remedy he had ever
seen or tried in one respect; and that
was, the instant relief experienced in
all cases, no matter how severe, from
the moment the remedy was applied;
thus was more surprising to him, be.
caused he had carefully analysed the
preparation and no trace of opium,
cocaine or similar poison could be de-
tected.
Physicians look with great favor
upon the Pyramid Pile Cure because
it is rapidly taking the place of surg
ical operations and because it is SO
simple, SO easily applied aud contains
no mineral or other poisons so com
monty used III pile cures.
DIR. Esterbrook reports that the Ply
ramid Pile Cure not only cures the
various forms of pill es, but never fails
to give immediate relief on the frs!
application, no matter how severe the
pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from
piles for years are often astonished at
the instant relief experienced from
the first application. Another i'm
portant advantage is the fact that
anyone can use the remedy without
detention from business or interfer-
ence with daily occupation.
Mr.. j w. Rollins of Sweet Springs,
Mo-, writes: l consider the Pyramid
Pile Cure without an equal; it cured
me in less than 80 days. l waited Is
days or more SO be sure l was fully
cured before writing you; can now
say l am cured and l shall recon-
mend the Pyramid Pile Cure at every
possible opportunity because it de-
serves it.
| Although comparatively new
remedy, its popularity is snch that all
druggists now sell it; if your druggist
hasn't it in stock, he will get it for
you if you ask him as all wholesale
druggists have it on sale.

and cure of piles sent free by address
