MINISTERIAL RELIEF.
Meeting of the Board of the Christian
Church.

The board of ministerial relief of the
Christian Church held a meeting in the
Century Club rooms Of the Denison last
night. Those present were Howard Gale,
Simeon Frazier, A. M. Atkinson and Amos
Clifford. The board granted relief in ten
cases, involving an expenditure of 5000 a
quarter. There are at present 100 beneficiar-
les in different parts of the country receiv-
ing aid from this department of the church
work. Members of the board stare there
are many pressing demands being made up
on them, and that applications for assist
ance are coming in much faster than can be
met by the money at their disposal During
the last two years the board mas raised
about $4,000, of which amount $4,000 has
been permanently invested The church
has no special days for making contribu-
tons for ministerial relief, and the only
source of revenue which the board has is
that of voluntary offerings. Many of the
letters received from superannuated men,
bers and widows are of a touching char
acter, and the board hopes to see its worth
ly purpose more generously supported.

A PLAGUE of THE NIGHT
Itching Piles and Utner Rectal
Troubles Easily Cured by New
and Safe Method.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suffers
frorn some form Of rectal disease The most
common and annoying is itching piles indi-
Gated by warmth slight moisture and in
tense, uncomfortable itching in the parts
affected
The usual treatment has been some simple
ointment or salve which sometimes give
temporary relief, but nothing like perma-
nent cure can be expected from such super
fetal 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 a short time causes u
permanent removal of the tumors or the
small parasites which cause the intense itch
ing and discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for long 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 1t to
be absolutely 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 extensively rec
commended by physicians, because II is so
safe, so prompt in the relief afforded and
so far as known, the only positive cure for
piles except surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has
become II best known. the safest and the
most exte.-- lively 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 also
hundreds =" stimenials from all parts or
the Unite S.
If suffe from any form of piles ask
your drr for a package of Pyramid
Pile Cure md try it tonight.
