ITCHING PILES AND OTHER REC
TAI TROUBLES EASILY CURED
BY A NEW AND SAFE
METHOD.
A Remarkable Number of, Cures
Made by the Pyramid Pile Cure.


About one person in every four SUI
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and ANNOYING is
itching piles, indicated by warmth
slight moisture and intense, uncontrol-
able itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
ing like permanent cure can be ex-
peeted from such superficial treatment
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid
Pile Cure, not only for itching piles. but
for every other form of piles. blind
bleeding or protruding. The first appli-
cation gives instant relief and the con-
tinued use for short time causes a.
permanent removal of the tumors or
the small parasites which cause the in
tense itching and discomfort of itching
piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief af-
forded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was
because it was supposed to contain CO.
caine, opium or similar drugs, but such
is not the case. A recent careful anal
ysis of the remedy showed it to be alb
solutely free from any cocaine, opium
or in fact any poisonous, injurious
drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile
Cure is probably the only pile cure ex-
tensively recommended by physicians
because it is SO safe, so prompt in the
relief afforded and so far as known the
only positive cure for piles except a
surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure
has become the best known, the safest
and the most extensively sold of any
pile cure before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell 1t at
SCOTS and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Marshall
Mich, for book on cause and cure of
piles and also hundreds of testimonials
from all parts Of the United States.
If suffering from any form of piles
ask your druggist for package of Py-
ramid Pile Cure and try it tonight

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Mrs. John

said to be at the head of the most eX-
elusive organization yet thought of in
these days of exclusiveness This will
be literary and artistic organization
to be known as the Tuesday Evening
club. Each Tuesday evening, one of
the members will play hostess to the
gathering, when some topic of intel
lectual import will be discussed by
eminent speakers provided for the pur-
pose. The Thursday Evening club has
long held sway in the swell set, but
while this insures amusement, it also
admits of a wide range of diversions
during the season. 1t was felt that
society was drifting to dancing and

but how? Mrs. John Jacob Astor took
the initiative and a meeting at her
home has resulted in the evolution of
the most exclusive club of the wear.
The plans, though still somewhat in
definite. call for four sponsors. Of
these Mrs. Aston and Mrs Mills will
be two. Others named among it's ad-
herents are Mrs. Henry Sloane and
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. Each of
the four "godmothers'' shall have the
privilege of inviting five guests. The
Tuesday Evening club, it is under
stood, may unbend from it's intellectual
attitude sufficiently to close with a
supper and perhaps a dance. Society
is on tiptoe of expectation to discover
just where the exclusives may decide
to draw the limit.

Spain's vehement contention that

her absurd assertion that the Maine

years. 1t has been insisted that lao
ordinary torpedo could have caused the
terrific initial explosion, which lifted
the Maine bodily several feet out of he
water, but such an exceptionally
powerful charge as 800 pounds of gun
cotton could easily do this. The en-
Giucer who designed and made these
mines adds that il is absolutely inn
