DOING GOOD EVERYWHERE.
A Medical Discovery That ERectu-
ally Cures Piles in Every Form.

For many years physicians have ex-
perimented in vain, seeking a remedy
which would effectually cure piles and
other rectal troubles without resorting
to a surgical operation. Many RENE
dies were found to give temporary re-
ief, but none could be depended upon
TO make lasting, satisfactory cure
Within a recent period however a
new remedy, the Pyramid Pile Cure,
has been repeatedly tested in hundreds
of cases and with highly satisfactory
results.
The first effect of the Pyramid Pile
Cure is to instantly remove the pain
and irritation generally present, and
from that time on the cure rapidly pro-
crosses, and before the patient Is hard
ly aware of it he is entirely cured. The
remedy seems to act directly on the
nerves and blood vessels of the parts
affected, as it comes into direct con-
tact with them and sets up a healthy
action. which in perfectly natural
way brings the parts to their normal
condition.
The remedy does it's work without
any pain or inconvenience to the suf-
ferer, and is justly considered one Of
the most meritorious discoveries Of
modern medicine.
Piles is one of the most annoying and
often times dangerous diseases with
which humanity is afflicted. If ne
elected 1T frequently develops into Fis-
tula, or some equally fatal or incurable
trouble whereas by the timely use OF
this simple but effective remedy no one
need suffer single day from any form
of piles unless they want to.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is perfectly
harmless, containing no mineral pol
sons, and is also very reasonable in
price, costing but one dollar package.
1t is sold in drug stores everywhere.
The manufacturers of the remedy are
the Pyramid Drug Co., Of Albion Mich,
who have placed this excellent prepare
ton before the public only after giving
it thorough and repeated tests in the
hands of reputable physicians. The
results in hundreds of cases have con-
WINGED us that it will not disappoint
YOU.

situation VIII Soon Clear.
NEW YORK, March 21.-The Finan-
cler says: The statement of the asso-
ciated banks for the week reflects the
prevailing shrinkage in the money mar
ket. The outward movement of cur
rency still continues, and it is the pre-
Vailing sentiment that the return tide
VIII not set in until April and per-
maps later. While there has been a fair
demand from Western centers. ex-
change rates are easing slightly. The
outlook is for firm money market for
some time to come. The April settle
ments are drawing near, and until these
are over, the situation must remain
somewhat in doubt. The government
depository banks last week turned over
S4,OOO00O into the treasury in response
to the call for 20 per cent payment.
The excess reserve is down to s19 900
OOO, and an imperative call for the ball
ance of the government bond deposits
would have an embarrassing effect on
the market, as the reserves of the
banks are In many cases now at a low
point The treasury, however is treat
ing the banks literally and no fear
may be apprehended from such causes.
The first call was more in the nature
OF request than an order With the
usual adjustment of spring balances
and resumption Of the flow Of money
toward the East, the outlook will clear

Feb. II, 1855.
From Gen. jefferson G. Davis this
legend Of the Acorn badge was re-
ceived After 1.-The battle of Chica-
maugua, Rosecran's army made a
stand at and around Chattanooga.
Rosecran's army owing to the ex-
ceedingly muddy roads and the cut
ing of it's lines of communication by
the Confederates, had great difficulty
in getting supplies. The Fourteenth
corps was encamped near wood of
oak trees, which were at the time
covered with acorns. AS the rations
fell short, many Of the men gathered
the acornS and ate them roasted. Still
at length it was observed that they
had become quite an important part
of the rations, and the men of the
corps jestingly called themselves the
acorn Boys" Receiving an order
about that time which required the
adoption of a corps badge, the acorn
was selected by reclamation.
In announcing the badge Of the Fiji
teenth corps, Gen. John A. Logan,
commanding the Fifteenth corps. says:
''If any corps in the army has right
to take pride in it's badge, surely
that has which looks back through the
long and glorious line (enumerating
thirty-five engagements and battles,
and scores of minor struggles). The
corps which had its birth under Grant
and Sherman in the dark days of
our struggle; the corps which will
keep on struggling until the death of
the rebellion" The device of the Fiji
teenth corps was suggested by the
following incident: The Eleventh and
Twelfth corps were transferred from
the Army of the Potomac to the de-
partment Of the Cumberland. They
were better dressed than the other
troops of that department. and a lit
tie rivalry sprang up between these
Eastern boys and those who came
the former as "the men who wore
paper shirt collars and crescents and
stars" Before the Fifteenth corps
had any badge an Irishman belong
ing to it went to the river near camp
to ill his canteen. There he met a
soldier of one of the newly arrived
corps, whose badges were the subject
of ridicule by his comrades. The lat
ter saluted the Irishman with the
query: What corps do you belong
to?" 1.-THE Fifteenth, sure" well,
then, where is your badger" my
badge, is it? Well (clapping his hand
on his cartridge box), here's my badge!
Forty rounds. It's the orders to al
ways have forty rounds In our cart
ridge box, and we always do"

Twenty-fourth Corps Twenty-ffth Corps
"A heart. square.
The Twenty-fourth corps was or
ganiZed late in the war, and was, for
the most part composed of veterans
who had served in other corps. Maj.
Gen. John Gibbon, in his orders adopt
ing a badge, says: "The symbol Sc
lected is one which testifies our affec-
Tomato regard for all our brave COM
rades, alike the living and the dead
who have braVed the perilS of this
mighty conflict, and our brave devo-
ton to the sacred cauSe-a cause which
entities us to the sympathy Of every
brave and true heart, and the support
of every strong and determined hand.
The major general commanding the
corps does not doubt that soldiers who
have given their strength and blood
to the fame of their former badges
will unite in rendering the present one
even more renowned than those under
which they have heretofore marched
to battle

found and glory to be won, the heroes
who have fought for Immortality have
been distinguished by some emblem
to which every victory added new lus-
ter. They looked upon their badge
with pride, for to it they had given its
fame. In the homes of smiling peace
it recalled the days of courageous en-
durance and the honors of deadly
strife, and it solaced the moment of
death, for it was a symbol of a life
of heroism and self denial. The poets
will sing of the 'Templars' Cross the

No order issued for the adoption of

First division, Twenty-third army
corps, near Raleigh, N. c., April 10,
1855, directs that the badges which
have just been issued to this command
will be worn upon the top of the cap or
left side Of the hat. Gen. J. d. Cox
has furnished the following Informal
ton concerning the badge: 1t was
adopted at the beginning of the At
lanta campaign (spring of 1860. There
was no legend connected with it. The
Twenty-third corps had been intimate
ly associated with the Ninth (under
Rurnside) in the campaign in East
Tennessee, in 1863, being organized in
that year for the purpose of becoming
part of Burnside's army of the Ohio.
This association led to our adopting
a shield somewhat similar in form to
the badge of the Ninth corps, but with
sufficient marks of distinction.
