A GREAT REMEDY.
For Sufferers From Piles.

Dr. Redmond, a specialist in the study and
treatment of Piles and rectal diseases, re-
Gently stated that the Pyramid Pile Cure,
the new discovery for the cure of piles, was
the most remarkable 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 this was the more sur
prising to him, because he had carefully
analysed the preparation and no trace Of
opium, cocaine or similar poison could be
detected
Physicians Hook with great favor upon tle
Pyramid Pile Cure, because it is rapidly
taking the place of surgical operations and
because it is so simple, so easily applied and
contains no mineral or other poisons so com
monty used in pile cures.
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Pyramid
Pile Cure not only cures the various forms of
Piles, but never fails to give immediate relief
ON the first 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 re-
lief experienced from the first application.
Another important advantage is the fact that
anyone can use the remedy without deten-
tion from business OF interference with daily
occupation. Sold by druggists at so cents

CONVICT MurINY PREVENTED.


Guards w ere ordered TO SnOOB tho
Rinpleadcrs Of the Plot.
Sacramento Cal, June 3.-An at
tempted mutiny at the state prison at
Folsom yesterday was checked by the
prompt and decisive action of Warden
Charles Aull who directed that the
guards should shoot down seven ring
leaders at the first sign of revolt.
About 300 convicts are employed at
the rock crusher, and the plan agreed
upon by the mutineers was that when
they returned to the rock crusher at
noon they should refuse to work War
den Auu learned of the projected mu-
tiny, and secured the names of the
ringleaders.
The warden waited until within a
few minutes of the hour for the 300
convicts to strike, and when they felt
themselves about to become masters Of
the situation. Then he gave the order
that at the first sign of the threatened
revolt the guards should shoot down
the seven ringleaders, whose identity
the warden had made known to the
guards The convicts completely col
lapsed at this unexpected turn of af-
fairs. There was no signal to strike,
and they went about their work as
usual.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one purpose,
namely, a receptacle for the urine and as
such it is not liable to any form of disease ex-
cept by one of two ways The first way is
from imperfect action of tho kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treatment OF
other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the chief cause of bladder troubles. Sc
the womb like the bladder, was created fol
one purpose, and if not doctored too much
is not liable to weakness or diseased, except
in rare cases 1t is situated back of and very
close TO the bladder therefore any pain,
disease or Inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is
often by mistake attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set you
urine aside for twenty-four hours; a scdi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or bladder
trouble The mild and the extraordinary
effect Of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy is soon
realized If you need a medicine you should
