The study Of physicians, the ex-
periments OF chemists, the loudly
advertised pretensioDs of quacks,
have been for years expended in one
direction; to find q pile cure tina,
would cure.
The results have been o number OF
harmless. and in most cases, useless
ointm snss, suppositories and even
internal remedies, which the public
have weighed in the balance OF ex-
perience and found wanting; nearly
all OF them gave some relief, but
nothing approaching q radical cure
resulted from these preparations.
The remedy required is one which

produces radical cure by reducing
and finally absorbing the tumors
and healing the inflamed, raw mu.
cous surfaces.
Until TWO years ago, no such rem
edy had been produced. but at that
time q suPpository was placed upon
the market, which has eince proven
itself to be the long sought perma.
nent cure for the common and die
tressing trouble; it has rapidly be-
come famous throughout the United
States and Canada, and is now sold
by nearly all druggists under the
name Of the Pyramid Pile Cure.
IL is now the best known. because
its merit and safety have advcr-
tised it wherever used. Ii has been
advertised by word Of mouth, frou
one sufferer to another; people Who
had tried everything else, even SUI b.
hitting to painful and dangerous
surgical operations without avail
have finally found that piles may be
curef without pain and without ex.
pense, practically. a. the Pytsmid
Pile Cure is sold for the nominal
price OF SO cents and 81 per package.
The Pyramid instantly stops ali
pain and at the same time contains
no cocaine. morphine or narcotics;
the acids and healing properties con.
tanned in the remedy speedily re-
move, cause q healthful, natural con.
traction and absorption Of the
tumors; il will cure any form OF rec
tai trouble except cancer and ad-

nearly always result from neglecting

FROM MCDOWELL, HIGHLAND.

Mcdowell, VA, Sept. IA, 1866
The reception given Capt. w. R. Lyman and
the reunion of survivors of his old company
held at this place on last Saturday, and was
attended by about five hundred persons. There
were about twenty five of the captains old
company present, they with several of the
members of company E, same regiment form
ed into line and were drilled by Capt. Harmon
Hiner and DR.. H. FL. Jones.
The Monterey Cornet Band was present and
favored the crowd with some excellent music
Addresses were made by Captains Lyman,
Trawich and DR.. Jones. It was very touching
to see Capt. Lyman as he met the boys one by
one, often would they stand with grasped
hands looking each into the others eyes un-
able to utter a word but stand silent soul COM
muning with soul. Often as the boys would
gather around their old commander and re-
count the dangers and hard ships through
which they had passed could be seen the I'M
hidden tear glistening in the eyes of bearded
men.
One of the most touching incidents of the
occasion was the exhibiting by Capt. Lyman
of the uniform of Capt. Rob't Bradshaw, first
captain of Co. B, who was killed at Port Re
public AS we gazed upon the empty uniform
and thought of that manly form long since
LAID to rest in soldiers grave and as we look
ed upon his aged mother and his brother, Mr..
J. B. Bradshaw feelings of love to sacred for
expression welled up within us and many
were the resolutions made by the young to
pattern their lives after the life of Capt. Rob't
Bradshaw. G. II.

A POPULAR CIRCUS.
The New Great Syndicate Shows Absolutely
Unparalleled.

The New Great Syndicate Shows Absolutely
Unparalleled.
Whenever the New Great Syndicate Shows
and Paris Hippodrome has exhibited this
year, it has drawn crowded tents, thus prov
ing that the new organization has secured the
public's fullest approval. The new organiza-
ton is composed of the very best and most
widely experienced show men of both Europe
and America, and is under the capable direc-
ton of Mr.. ]. N. Rentfrow, manager of ex-
tensiye experience and pre-eminent ability.
As per press notices of all cities where it has
exhibited, the show is one of the best that
travels and has firmly established its reputa-
ton to present one of the very best and clean
est entertainments. The Circus is given
simultaneously in three rings and on two cele-
brated stages. The hippodrome track is a
quarter of mile around, which encircles the
rings is used for the races and olympian sports.
The Menagerie department is very fine, en-
bracing large and costly variety of wild
beasts. One of its most interesting features is
a flock of huge African ostriches, which the
management purchased and imported after a
costly outlay. The Great Syndicate Show is
the only circus exhibiting such a feature. This
show exhibits at Staunton, Thursday, Sept.
18th
