One Person i'm Every -Four suffers
from piles.

About one person In every four suffers
from some form Of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying Is itching piles
indicated by warmth. slight moisture and
intense uncomfortable itching In the parts
affected.
The usual treatment has been some sim
pie ointment or salve which sometimes
give temporary relief. but nothing like
permanent cure can be expected from such
superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered liz the Pyramid pile
Cure. rot only for itching piles but for
every other form or piles. blind. bleeding
or rro.ruding. The first application gives
instant relief and the continued use for q
short tine causes q permanent removal o.
the tumors of the small parasites which
cause the intense itching and discomfort
OF itching piles.
Many physicians for long time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
Pyramid Pile Cure was because IL was
supposed TO contain cocaine. opium or SIM
ilar drugs but such Is not the case.
rcsent careful analysis OF the remedy
showed Ii 20 he absolutely free from any
cocaine. opium. or in fact any poisonous
injurious drugs whatever. Sold by drug

been necessary to have spent the entire
amount of money in improving one or
two streets, and only the property own
ers on a few favored streets would have
been benefited. This would have Great
ed great dissatisfaction and would have
given just cause of complaint to the
property owners living in other parts Of
the city.
AS fast as we can curb the sidewalks
we will require the property owners to
put down good brick sidewalks.
This will give us good sidewalks all
over the city in very short time-and
besides we think we can within the time
of the present administration complete
the work started on South Fayetteville
street-also macadamize North Will
mington street as far as Peace street
and Newbern avenue from the capital
to Bloodworth street and Blount street
from Peace street to Newbern avenue.
On November 18th we addressed the
following communication to Mr.. j. NJ.
Norwood. Chief of Police, which will ex-
plain itself:
MIR. J. NJ. Norwood, Chief of Police,
:'Raleigh, n. c.:
"My Dear Sir:-At a meeting of the
street committee held this morning il.
was decided to request you to notify
property owners in accordance with the
city charter on the streets named below
to repair their sidewalks along said
streets either with hard brick, paving
stone or cement.
The walkway must be at least feet
wide ON all streets named below except
ON Fayetteville street where they must
be feet wide. The above named width
must be preserved in front of residences,
but in front of business houses it must
be the entire width of the sidewalk.
Wherever there is a driveway crossing
the sidewalk it must be paved the en-
tire width of the street.
"Please notify the property owners On
Fayetteville street from Davie street
to South street, and ON Davie street be-
tween Fayetteville street and Salisbury
street, also those on Wilmington street
between EdentOn street and Salisbury.
Some of the property owners on Hills
boro street have not yet complied with
instructions issued Aug. goth, 1897, and
we desire you to notify them that this
work must be done at once or else the
penalty prescribed by law under the
charter will be imposed.
The sidewalks on streets named above
have been curbed, and in keeping with
the policy adopted by the street commit
tee we must ask the property owners TO
pave the sidewalks and put them in prop
er condition in accordance with work
already done on those streets by the
city.
I'VE desire TO push the work of i'm
proving our sidewalks all over the city
as rapidly as possible, and would he
glad to have you give this matter your
usual prompt and careful attention.
