Addressing Gen. Alger, he said:
You worked the men to death at
Chickamauga. Why, sir, these men
were drilled from five to six hours each
day in the hot sun, and when they fell
there were no StretcherS or litter bear
ers to carry them away, nor were there
any ambulances at hand in many cases,
and the poor fellows were forced to lie
in the broiling sun without attention
1t was cruel to them, and it was GRIM
ina1 negligence not to have a sufficient
number of litter-bearerS and Stretchers.
The reason these men were not on
hand is because every available man
for the doctor or nurse had been taken
away from their commands and placed
in the division hospital. I am not in
favor Of abolishing the division hos
pital, but am in favor of both division
and regimental hospitals. Keep the
men in camp and send them to division
hospitals when their symptoms are full
ly developed. Then get trained nurses
to run the division hospital"
Gen. Sanger agreed with him. Gen.
Sternberg admitted he was right. Sec
rotary Alger closed the meeting by say
ing:
II want one more word with you. I
shall hold each and every one of you
personally responsible for the sanitary
condition of your camps. Any officer
failing to report any negligence in camp
to his superior officer shall be held ac-
countable, and any higher officer fail
ing to correct these things will be Sc
verely dealt with. Have every man in
his place. With the light of the expo
rience we have had we ought to perfect
our camps and keep sickness down to a
minimum. Make your men feel that
they are being cared for like we did
in the Civil war and 1 will assure you
that there will be no trouble"

Remarkable Success of a New Pile
Cure.

People who have suffered for months
or years from the pain and inconveTii-
ence of that common disorder, piles.
Will look with skepticism upon the
claims OF the makers of the new dis
cCVery for cure of all forms of piles
Known under the name Of Pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordi-
nary cures performed by this remedy
are such as to warrant the inVestiga-
ton Of any sufferer. AS a case in point
the following letter speaks for itself.
Mr.. Henry Thomas of sub-statiOn No.
8, Hosack Ave, Columbus, Ohio, writes
as follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.:
Gentlemen:-I want you to use nv
name if it will be of any use to YOU.
1 was so bad with the piles that I lost
work on that account. Nothing did me
any good. I read in Cincinnati of the
many cures Of piles by the Pyramid
Pile Cure and 1 went to a drug store
and asked for it. The drug clerk told
me that he had something else that he
thought was better, but told him that
L wanted to try the Pyramid first.
Inc hrst box helped me so much that
l tried another and then to complete
the cure used two more boxes, making
four in ALL 1 am now completely cur
ed. Have not a trace of piles and I
had suffered for four years with the
worst form of protruding piles.
suffered uedIn from piles, but i
have found the Pyramid Pile Cure to
be just as represented. I have recon-
mended it to several of my friends and
l am thankful to be able to write YOU
what good the remedy has done for
me-
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because it contains no opium.
cocaine, or mineral poison of any kind.
and because 1t is so safe and pleasant
to use, being painless and applied at
night. The patient Is cured in a sur
prisingly short time with no inconYeni-
ence whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at 90 cents per package. and
II there is any constipation it is we'll
to use the Pyramid Pills at the same
time with the Pile Cure, as constipa-
ton IS very often the cause Of piles
and the pills effectually remove the
costiVe condition. Price of pills is %
cents per package.

and cure of piles; sent by mail free.
