Over a Number OF Deaths Attributed
to the Plague.

MARSEILLES, Jan. 23.-The great
est feeling of alarm prevails here
among the masses Of the population
on account Of q number Of sudden
deaths which have occurred in one
street. Some ten days ago q report
was circulated here that case Of bu-
bonic plague had been discovered. This
was promptly denied by the health Of
f1eiaIs and others, but the precau-
ttons taken to guard against the in
PRODUCTION of the plague from Bombay
or Karachi to this port were redoubIed,
and especially In the vicinity Of the old
and new ports, where the maritime
population congTegates. In those
neighborhoods, seamen and others from
all parts of the world, India included,
as well as from all Mediterranean ports,
are to- be found in great numbers, and
In the vicinity Of the port especially
the streets are narrow in the extreme,
lined with old, populated houses
and in every way unhealthy, the cob
blestone roadway, as a rule having
dirty cutters through which vile drain
age flows. Since the plague alarm,
steps have been taken to clean the
streets as much as possible, and domi-
ciHary visits have been made by the
health officers in the most dangerous
quarters.
Under the circumstances, 1t Is not
extraordinary that the authorities were
greatly alarmed when the report was
first spread that case Of bubonic
plague had been discovered, but it was
not until today that the general public
became frightened. 1t was announced
that nine sudden deaths had occurred
In one street Within a few days, and,
Of course the plague was blamed,
rightly or wFf63hgly, in every case. The
health Officers declare that all nine
cases were deaths from Infectious
pneumonia. 4" but the public is very far
from being satisfied. Dispatches re-
ceived here from Paris show that the
government is fully alive to the danger
of the situation. DEGREES have been is

DR.. Redmond. a specialist in the
study and treatment of Piles and rectal
diseases, recently stated that. the
Pyramid Pile Cure. the new discovery
for the cure of piles, was the most re-
nIarkab1e 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 mo-
ment the remedy was applied this
was the more surprising to him, be-
cause he had carefully analyzed 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 sur
gical 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 Pvra
mid 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 niles
for years are often ast0nished at the
instant relief experienced, from the first
application. Another. important ! AID

fifteen days or more to be sure was
