A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT.
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL
TROUBLES EASILY CURED BYA
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suf-
fcrs from some form of rectal disease
The most common ana annoying is
itching piles indicated by warmth,
slight moisture and intense, unCOn-
trollablc itching i'm the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be eX-
pccted from such superficial treat
ment.
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 q short time
causes a permanent removal Of the
tumOrs or the small parasites which
cause the intense itching and discom-
fort Of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time
supposed that the remarkable relief
afforded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was
because it was supposed to contain
cocaine, opium or similar drugs, but
such is not the case. A recent careful
dhdlysS OF the remedy SHoNcu IL ~
be absolutely free from any cocaine,
opium, or in fact any poisonous, in
furious drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile
Cure is probably the only pile cure
extensively recommended by physc-
ians, because it 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 the best known, the safest
and the most extensively sold of any
pile cure before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell ii al

Camp Mac kCnzic. Augusta. Ga, Feb.
11.--ThiS week was Il record breaker,
and Camp Mackenzie has become the
Valley Forge of 1899. II would be inn
possible to describe what the men
have had to go through. or t. picture
the hard conditions by which they are
nS present surrounded Sunday morn
ing il showed for Il time. and this was
succeeded later on by Il cold. biting
slect which quickly drove all under the
protecting shelter of the tents. At
taps snow began tC fail in abundance
once more. and had then reached Il
depth of over six inches.
The boys then turned in FOR the
night and tried to make themselves as
comfortable as possible, after having
first filled the stoves with wood Their
efforts to keep warm were futile and
towards daybreak sleep was out of the
question: one had to either shiver in
bed, or else get up and light Il fire.
When revcille had sounded, the can
vas of the tents. which had frozen
stiff during the night, creaked, as if it.
would break asunder: the wind blew
hard. and. ia places piled the snow
cry of the situation. the fCkl, ther-
momCtcr had dropped down to zero.
Fires had been. extinguished and could
not be relighted; pipes were frozen
and no water could be had for making
coffee. and even the supply of wood
was somewhat short.
QUESTION OF DISCHARGE.
It is not the inhOspitali'y and the
positive cruelty Of the elements. now
ever, which the men feel most. In
gratitude is more bitter than cold and
frost. and it is under this that the
boys arc now smarting. They serious
ly object to the form of the discharge
which is to he given them, and, to say
that they are indignant is to put the
matter in the very mildest form pos
sible. In order TO make this question
plain. and to place it intellgiblv ~ o
fore the friends and the parents of the
BOYS a home, The Tribune correspond
cni has consulted Quartcrmaster II. q.
Cox, Colonel Coursen ana the army
regulations touching this point.
Section 151 of the army regulations
runs thus: Blank forms for the dis
charge and final statement (of sol
dieIs) will be furnished by tho adult
ant general of the army, and viii be
retained in the personal custody OF
company commanders: those for dis
charge will be of three classes-fOr hon
urable and dishonOrable discharges. and
tor discharges without honors. They
win be as follows: The parchment
discharge is for honorable discharge
only. and the word honOrably will ho
iutcrlined in the old blanks when used
The blank for dshonnrahle discharge
will be for such discharge alone
TO be more explicit, there are three
varieties of discharges the honorable
discharge. the dishonorable discharge
and The discharge without honor which
is more commonly denOmnatCd as the
'hOb-tail." The honorable discharge is
ON parchment and has the words hon.
"rablv discharged" in bold. capitalized
letters. The discharge without honor
umitS the distinctive significant word
"honorably.' and the dishOnorable dis
charge is easily recognized by being
printed on yellow paper.

ORA EFT LABOR.

No answer comes to those who pray
And idly stand
And wait for stones TO roll away
At Gods command:
He will not break the binding cords
Upon us laid
II we DEPEND on pleading words
And do not aid.
When hands are idle words are vain
To move the stone;
An aiding angel would disdain
TO work alone;
But he who prayeth, and is strong
In faith and need.
And toileth earnestly, ere long
He will succeed.

low Workmen
The Whole Story Told by His Wife :.
1t May Help You.

"When my little boy was six years old
he had an attack OF the measles, aud after
recovering he was restless at night, had
no appetite, and was cross and fretful.
Later on, large blotches and sores broke
out on his face and limbs. We were told
they would heal in a few days; but
these few days grew into months. One
day my husband, who is a well-known
railroad man, was advised by some of his
fellow workmen to give the boy Hoods
Sarsapsrilla. We concluded TO do SO, and
after he had taken the first bottle We
noticed some improvement. We kept on
giving him this medicine until he had
taken three bottles, when he was COM
pletely cured, and he has been well ever
since" MRS. e. j. MILLER, Bennett, Pa.

TREATY WITH SPAIN,
Negotiations for q New AKreemept
Between the Countries VIII
Soon He Opened.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-An under
standing has been reached by which it
is expected that negotiations will be
opened soon at Madrid for a new treaty
between the United States and SPAIN
This will be the last step towards COM
pletely restoring the friendly relations
between the two countries. The war
with Spain swept the old treaty out of
existence, and the only international
agreement now in existence is the peace
treaty which is confined to the events
growing out of the war, and has no
reference to commerce, navigation, ex-
tradition and other manifold relations
between nations in times of peace. The
coming negotiations will be for the
purpose of forming such a treaty of
commerce, amity and friendship. The
present condition is quite anomalous.
as there is no basis on which persons
could be extradited from one country
to the other or for the determination
of any commercial difference which
might arise. Fortunately there has
been no case occasioning serious diff
ference,
