COMMON SENSE CURE.
PYRAMID PILE CURE CURES PILES
PERMANENTLY BY CURING
THE CAUSE.
Remarkable Remedy which is Bringing Com
fort to Thousands Of Sufferers.

Probably half the people who see this
article suffer from piles. 1t is one of the
commonest diseases and one Of the most
Obstinate. People have il for years and
just because it is not Immediately fatal they
neglect it, Carelessness causes no end Of
suffering. Carelessness about so simple a
thing as piles has often caused death.
Hemorrhages occur from no apparent cause
and loss of blood causes death Homorr-
hages occur during surgical treatment, often
causing death.
Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even in the
worst stages without pain or loss Of blood,
quickly, surely aud completely. There is
only one remedy that will do it-Pyramid
Pile Cure.
It allays the inflammation Immediately
heals the irritated surface and with contin-
uod treatment reduces the swelling and puts
the membranes into good, sound healthy
condition. The cure is thorough and per-
manent.
Here are some voluntary and unsolicited
testimonials we have lately received.
Mrs. NJ. c. Hinkly, 6O1 Mississippi St.,
indianapolis, Ind, says: Have been suf-
fcrer from the pain and annoyance Of Piles
for fifteen years, the Pyramid Pie Cure and
Pyramid Pills gave me immediate relief and
in a short time complete cure.

CAPE MAY, n. j., Jan. 9-With a lusty
cry Of Eight bellsl" Skipper James G.
Nickerson, of the schooner Lucy, started
up in bed at his home yesterday and
found that he had gained the mental
health which fed from him two days be-
fore Christmas. He is entirely rational,
but can give no account Of himself since
the accident on that day when heavy
plank on the gangway struck his head,
This was at Newport News, Va, That day
he disappeared. After much search by his
relatives without success an ancient fel-
low mariner fell in with him on the streets
Of Wilmington, N. O., and recognizing
his condition, took him to the mayor Of
that city, and his friends were notified.
His recovery was as sudden as his peculiar
afliction. There is belief that he was
foully dealt with.

Tours TO Florida.

No district in America presents, during the
Winter season, so NAVY Varied attract Ons as
the State of Florida Besides its delightful
climate which to one escaping from the cold
and unhealthful changes of the North seems
almost ethereal il is prc-emiuCutly a land of
sport and pleasure. Along its eleven hundred
miles of saltwater cuast and in its twelve
hundred fresh-water lakes are fish of amn8t
every conceivable variety from the migra-
tory tribes common to Northern waters to the
tarpOn, pompano, and others Of a more
tropical character. Nowhere in all our broad
land can the angler find a greater variety of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears, panthers,
and wild cats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions, while birds of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the State. The more novel sport Of al
ligatOr and manatee hunting may also be in
duged in by the more. adventurous tourist
With its matChess climate, its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing, its fishing and hunting, and Its
extensive forests, Florida presents unriyaled
attractions for the valetudinarian, the lover
of nature the sportsman and the explorer.
To this attractive state the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged four per
soually- conducted tours during the season ot
1897, leaving by special train January 26
February 8 and 23, and March o. The frs
three tours will admit of \ sOjOurn of tw,
weeks in this delightful land; tickets for tn,
fourth tour will be valid to return until May
81 by regular trains.
! Rates for the round trip, 5000 from New
| York, $4s.OO from Philadelphia, and proper
| tionate rates from other points.

One of the most remarkable cures of
rheumatism on record is related by Mr.. J.
NJ. Thompson, post master at Deckers Point,
Pa, as follows: while out driving one
day last winter l was caught in a cold
rain. The next morning / was unable to
move my head or arms, owing to an attack of
mhammatory rheumatism My clerk tele-
phoned fora physician, but suggested that
use Chamberain's Pain Balm, there being a
bottle open OIL the counter. He rubbed the
affected parts thoroughly with Pain Balm
and built up hot fire. l dozed off to sleep
and when ! awoke about half an hour later
the pain had gone entirely, and have not
been troubled since. People come here from
many miles around to buy Chamberlain
medicines" For sale by Gruhler Bros

THE nIITBRATE IMMIGRANT BILL

The bill to exclude illit0rate immigrants,
which has been sent to the conference COM
mittee. is, with or without the amendments
placed on the original measure by the Senate,
probably as good as can be had from the
present Congress, and ought TO be enacted,
In its leading section the bill as it passed
the House, proposed the shutting out of all
males between l6 and go years of age eX-
cept those who can read aud write the
English or some other language, while the
most important of the Senate amendments
to the bill prescribes as a test the ability to
read aud write, in some language, five lines
of the United States constitution, says the ST.
Louis Democrat.
OF course this bill shows no unfr.end-
liness to immigrants n general but only
to illiteIate immigrants. Many RepuD-
licans believe that the foreign vote
turned the scale to the honest money

SPANISH DEFEATS CONFIRMED
Barbed Wire as an Ala to Insurgents in
warfare.


KEY WEST, Fla, Jan "a report from
points near Matanzas confirms the news
received yesterday OF o defeat suffered by
the Spanish at the hands of one Of Co
mez's captains on Thursday. The Spanish
had an idea that another expedition was
to be landed at some spot west Of Atatan-
zas, on the coast and two detachmcnts
were sent off to ambuscade the escort that
they thought the Cubans would send
This the Cubans heard of and organized
counter ambuscade Four hundred
Cubans were concealed on the road that
the Spaniards would take. After the Span
lard had passed q certain spot strong
barbed wire was stretched across the road
at two points to impede their retreat. Tho
Cubans then began a rapid fire, while men
stationed above a cut through which the
Spanish had to pass hurled hand grenades
among them.
Ina short time over thirty Spanish sol
diers and officers were disabled They
rallied and returned the fire, but could do
little as the Cubans were almost invisible.
The Spanish column finally retreated, the
Cubans pursuing them and firing all the
while. When the second wires in their
rear were struck panic ensued, the sol
diers forgetting all disoiplineand running
Tor their lives, throwing away guns and
equipments. The Cubans pursued for
some time, and then suddenly vanished as
another Spanish detachment was seen up
proaching. over forty-hve Spuniards were
buried by the Cubans and 100 taken pris-
oners Tho Spanish report has not been
made public yet

the popular clamor against the action Of
Ex-Governor Uphaai in parLaning o NUM-
Der Of noted life prisoners during the clos
