A GREAT REMEDY
For sufferers From piles.

Dr.. Redmond, d specialist in the study
and treatment of piles and rectal dis
eases, recently stated that the Pyramid
Pile Cure the new discovery for the cure
Of piles, was the most remarkable RENE
dy he had ever seen or tried in one re-
spect; and that was the instant relief ex-
perienced in all cases, no matter how Sc
we're, from the moment the remedy was
applied This was the more surprising to
him because he had carefully analysed
the preparation, and no trace of opium,
cocaine or similar poison could be detect
ed.
Physicians look with great favor upon
the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it is rap
idly taking place of surgical operations
and because it is so simple, so easily ap-
piled and contains no mineral or other
poisons so commonly used in cures.
Dr. Esterbrook reports that the PNra-
mid Pile Cure not only cures the various
date relief ON the first application. 40
matter how severe the pain or discomfort
may be.
People who have suffered from piles for
years are often astOnished ut the instant
relief experienced from the first appliea-
ton. Another important advantage is the
fact that any one can use the remedy
without detention from business or inter
ference with daily occupation. Sold by

There w as But
One Fight,
AND THAT IN FOUR.
The Democratic Primaries
Were Unusually Quiet. p

The democratic caucuses Were held
last night and were very tame. Ward 4,
with its big list Of delegates TO the city
convention denoting it as the banner
ward of the party in this city, enjoyed
the only fight of the night.
There We're affairs in several other
places, but from the democratic stand
point it would be unjust to dignity
them by the name of fights.
In ward there were four candidates
for the common council and hence the
trouble. The ambitions of the four gen
tlemen before the voters brought out a
big house and the results We're not OBJ
talned until after midnight. Then it was
found that Councilman John r. OLeary
had been renominated, and That Peter
IS. Gallagher was chosen to make the
running with him
There was nothing said about a can
didate for mayor, and none of the dele~
gates to the municipal convention were
instructed ON this score. Several Of the
oaucuses instructed their delegates to
favor the nomination as candidates for
aldermen, Of certain ward favorites.

SNOW DID NOT DAUNT HIM
An Enthusiastic Wheelman Rode Home
on Snow Covered Roads.

Leicester. Nov. Pa lonely bicyclist
en- route between West Boyston and
Warren passed through town today and
took dinner at The Leicester lunch
room. The rider went from Warren to
West Boylston on his wheel to spend
Thanksgiving with relatives, and was
persuaded to spend the night there.
This morning he determined to use his
bicycle even though aAittIe snow had
fallen. He wore nothing heavier than 81
dress coat and when the lunch room
was reached the lonely rider was chilled
TO the bone After dinner he mounted
again and pedaled away towards Spen-
Ger. He told John IT, Squires that the
roads between West Boylstun and Wor-
cester We're fair, but was not anxious to
talk about the roadway through New
Worcester.
