A CERTAIN CURE FOR PILES.
Safe and Effective in Every Form of
This Common and Annoying
Disease.

Many people suffer from piles, because
after trying the many lotions, salves and
ointments without relief or cure, have
come to the conclusion that a surgical
operation is the only thing left to try and
rather than submit to the shock and risk
to life of an operation, prefer to suffer on.
Fortunately this is no longer necessary,
the Pyramid Pile Cure a new preparation,
cures every form of piles without pain,
inconvenience or detention from business.
1t is in the form of suppositories, easily
applied, absolutely free from opium, CO.
caine, or any injurious substance what
ever, and no matter how severe the pain,
gives instant relief not by deadening the
nerves of the parts, but rather by its heal
ing, soothing effect upon the congested
membranes.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the most eff
fective the safest and most extensively
sold of any Pile Cure that has ever been
placed before the public, and this reputa-
ton has been secured by reason of its
extraordinary merit and the reasonable
price at which 1t is sold, all druggists sell
in many cases single package has been
sufficient.
A person takes serious chances in neg
Letting a simple case of piles as the
trouble soon becomes deep seated and
chronic and very frequently develops into
fatal incurable rectal diseases, like istula
and rectal ulcers.
IS the safest, most satisfactory pile cure
made.
The Pyramid Co., Marshall Mich, will
send to any address a treatise on cause
and cure of piles, also book of testimon-
ials.

OF do so, 'he must take the conse-

not do so, "he must take the conse-
quences."
Gov. Beaver then asked as to the con-
duct of the quarternasterss serving with
him or in his vicinity.
Dr. Seaman declined to answer, say
ing that he understood he was expected
to appear before the war department
after getting through with this board,
and" he said IT do not want to
criticise my superior officers while
wear the shoulder straps Of an army
officer"
He continued by saying that he had
been so much misrepresented by the
press within the past "a hours that he
did not wish to further commit himself.
He then detailed the circumstances
leading to the representations concern
ing his views in the newspapers. He
said he had authorized no interviews
since he landed, and that the article in
a New York paper grew out of con-
versation between himself and a super
Tor officer in New York which a report
er of that paper overheard. He also de-
MED having read the article before it
was printed, as had been represented.
This concluded his testimony, and he
was followed by Lieut.. T. K. Hill Of the
navy. ,
Lieut.. Hill. was an officer on the war
| ship Iowa when the army landed near
Santiago, and was in charge of the de-
/ barkation Of the troops at Baiquiri He
said the navy supplied IL launches and
| 80 small boats for the landing, but the
army brought only one lighter. He
gave the details of the landing, which
he said consumed four days; The
army was entirely unprepared to land
and Lieut.. Fill said that as he viewed
the matter, the army would have been
unable to land and subsist after the
landing without the aid of the navy
A great deal of trouble was experienced
with the captains of the transports,
who had refused to go nearer the shore
until he secured an order to them from
Gen Shafter. Lieut.. Hill said there
was no wharf, but that he had under
stood that they talked of building one
on which to land Gen. Shafter.
Personally" asked a member Of the
commission.
Yes"
Had they no derricks?p
YES but they were not strong
enough
This personal allusion to the avoir-
dupois of the commander of the San
tiago campaign created a general
laugh.
Continuing, Lieut.. Hill expressed the
opinion that in cases Of the transpor-
tation of troops at sea, 8 thought the
vessels should be under the command
Of navy officers until the troops are
landed.
