the savings bank the sum of $500
which belonged to his wife and children,

ing. AS soon as the man, whose name
was Stephen GrIecheiner, had accom-
plished this cruel act of destruction he
took his own life. On the afternoon of
the same day he was discovered by his
wife. Underneath the body was 800
bill and letter. The letter was written

From Piles.
About one person in every four
suffers from some form of rectal dis
ease. The most common and annoy
ing is itching piles, indicated by
warmth, slight moisture and intense,
uncomfortable itching in the parts
affected
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
ing like permanent cure can be ex-
pected from such superficial treat
ment.
The only permanent cure for itch
ing piles yet dis covered is the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, not only for itching
piles, but for every other form of piles
blind. bleeding or protruding. The
first application gives instant relief
and the continued use for short
time causes a permanent removal of
the tumors or the small parasites
which cause the intense itching and
discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief af-
forded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was
because it was supposed to contain
cocaine, opium or similar drugs but
such is not the case. A recent careful
analysis of the remedy showed it to
be absolutely free FROM any cocaine,
opium, or in fact any poisonous, in
jurous drugs whatever. Sold by
druggists at so cents per package.
