that the general passenger agents have gone
so far as to say that in case New York

A RELIC OF THE PAST.
surgical Operations for the Cure OF
Piles and Rectal Diseases No
Longer Necessary.
A Medical Discovery which VIII
Change the Treatment of
All Such Diseases.

1t has long been thought not only by some
physicians. but by people in general, that
the common, painful and exceedingly an
noying trCuble, piles, was practically incur
able by any other means than a surgical
operation, and this belief has been the cause
of years of needless suffering, because of
the natural dread of surgical operations.
There are many salves, continents and
similar remedies on the market which
afford some relief in cases of piles, but the
Pyramid Pile Cure is the only preparation
so far introduced that can be reliably de-
pended upon TO cure to stay cured, every
form of itching, bleeding or protruding
piles.
Mrs. M. C. Hinkley. of COL Mississippi
sicians that nothing but surgical opera
ton, costing between seven ana eight hum
dred dollars, could cure her, as she mad suf-
fered for fifteen years; yet even in such
case as hers the Pyramid Pile Cure ac-
complished a complete cure. She says: II
knew an operation would be death TO me,
and tried the Pyramid with very little hope,
ana 1t is not to be wondered at that am
so enthusiastic in its praise"
Mr.. ID. 4. Reed, OF south Lyons, Mich,
says L would not take $500 and be placed
BACK where | was before / used the Pyra-
ma Pile Cure. L suffered for years, and it
Is now eighteen months since l used ii, and
not the slightest trace of the trouble has
returned.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by nearly
all druggists at so cents and 81 per package,
and as 1t contains no opium, cocaine or
other poisonous drug can be used with per-
feet safety
No one need suffer from piles in any form
who will give this excellent remedy a trial.

In the suit of Mary Canatsy against
julius Schlueter to obtain, by habeas corpus
proceedings, possession Of the child of
Schlueter, Judge Harvey has decided in
favor Of the plaintiff. The case has re-
ceived much attention in the courts. The
child, little girl, was given to Mrs.
Canatsy by it's mother on her deathbed
The mother was a sister of Mrs. Canatsy.
When the child was three years of age the
father remarked and took his little daugh-
ter away from the aunt's home. Mrs
Canatsy began habeas corpus proceedings
to get possession of the child again, and
Judge Harvey held that it was for the best
interests of the little one that she should
live with the aunt. An appeal was taken
to the Appellate Court by the father. but
in the meantime he retained possession CT
the child. Judge Harvey was sustained by
the higher court. In his original decision
the court said it's order granting the child
to the aunt could be modified, if at any
time it seemed best to do so. After the de-
cision of the Appellate Court the father
was granted sixty DAYS in which to satisfy
the courts decree. The time is up to-day
A few days ago he filed a petition with the
court asking that the courts decree be
modified, but Judge Harvey has concluded
that the aunt is entitled to the child, for a

superintendent of the Citizens Street-rail-
road Company with a request that all city
truant officers be permitted to ride free
on the company's cars when wearing uni
form.
