THB Girard Estate has filed remon-
strances against the licenses of their
tenants in West Mahanoy township,
and have also served notices upon
these tenants that they must discon-
tinue the sale of liquor or vacate the
premises. They will not renew the
leases. While the Girard Estate is
making warfare upon the licensed
places in that town, it would come
with better grace were they to take

A PLAUGE OF THE NIGHT
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER REC
tai TROUBLES EASILY CURED
BYA NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
= Ec:.ai Kable Number of Cures Made by
the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suffers from
some form of rectal disease. The most com
mon and annoying is itching piles, indicated
by warmth slight moisture and intense, un-
controabe itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some simple
ointment or salve which sometimes give tenn
porary relief, but nothing like a permanent
cure can be expected 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 application gives instant relief and the
continued use for short time causes per
manent removal of the tumors or the small
parasites which cause the intense itching and
discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for a loug time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
Pyramid Pile Cure was because it was sup
posed to contain cocaine, opium or similar
drugs, but such is not the case. A recent
careful analysis of the remedy showed it to be
absolutely free from any cocaine, opium, or
in fact any poisonous, injurious drugs what
ever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure is
probably the only pile cure extensively recon-
mended 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 be-
come the best known, the safest and the most
extensively sold of any pile cure before the
public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at so cents
and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Marshall, Mich.
for book on cause and cure of piles and alsc
hundreds of testimonials from all parts of the
United States.
If suffering from any form of piles ask YOU
druggist for package of Pyramid Pile Cure
and try it tonight.

Evidence Against Him.

Evidence Against Him.
Paris, Jan. 1.-THE trial by court
martial of Major Count Ferdinand Wal
sin Estelha2y, he retired officer of the
French army WHo came into prominence
in the latter part Of November last
through the publication by Figaro of a
number of letters, which the count is
alleged to have admitted writing, re-
fecting in strong terms upon France
and the French army was opened yes
terday under the presidency of General
De LuNer The general impression is
that the days proceedings revealed the
utter hollowness of the Dreyfusians
charges against Comte Esterhazy and
the ilimsiness Of the reasons for their
belief in the innocence of Dreyfus.
The evidence of Matthew Dreyfus was
exceedingly weak. There was a sensa-
tion in court when he declared Comte
Es,erhazy "a disgrace to his profess
sion" The two men glared at each
other like Wild beasts.
