ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES
or,hr Pyramid Piie Cure

Is the fact that il cures every form of
piles without one particle of pain This
desira bic point is not obtained by the
use Of of injurious OpiatCs which simply
dcaden and paralyDc the nerves of the
parts and make matters worse in the
long run. But It Is done solely by it's
remarkable healing and soothing ef-
fccts.
And while 1t thus gives immediate re-
lief. at the same time the disease Is not
merely checked. but Il radical cure is
rapidly accomplished.
And the point we want to make clear
is that all shis is done without a par
ticlc OF pain.
This fact is one reason for the great
popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure
and constitutes one very great differ
ence between II and almost any other
Kind of treatment for piles.
Every kind Of surgical operation for
piles is cxcruciatinEly painful besides
endangoring the life of the patient and
in most cases is not to be compared
with the Pyramid Cure, neither in maxi
ing successful cures without pain nor
in cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be-
fore the public too long, and its merits
recognized by too many people to al"
low il to be classcd with the many
salvcs. suppositories. pills, etc. and you
run no risk in trying it. as is often the
case with new and untried prepara-
tions.
If you are ever troubled with any
form Of piles or rectal disease do not
forget the Pyramid Pile Cure. Pre-"
pared by the Pyramid Drug Co.. Mar

Interesting feature in today's developments
of the Spanish situation. Three officers OF
the Maine, Lieutenant G.. w. Holman.
Lieutenant George Pillow and Lieutenant
a. W. Catlin. accompanied by Boatswain
Larkin. came Unexpectedly from KEY
West. 1t was said that their visit was
purely voluntary ON their part. aS they
are now on waiting orders and free to 20
where they please. Their long conference
at the navy department and later at the
White House led to much conjecture, 1t
being reported they brought the report
from the court OF inquiry. 1t can be stated
positively. however, from an authoritative
source, that the officers did not bring with
them the report either as whole or its
general conclusions. 1t is stated with equal
pcstiveness and authoritatively that they
did not know what the action OF the court
Of inquiry is and therefore are not In 4
position TO convey any information 10 the
president or secretary OF the navy on that
point. Their talks were confined entirely
to graphic narratives OF their experiences
on the night OF the explosion. In the
corr.o OF this narrative, however. indiyid-
val opinion as to the cause Of the explo-
slcu found expression.
These opinions. as already stated, weie
