MERIT MAKES IT FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy in the World, Ex-
cept Surgical Operations, That
Will Certainly Cure Any
Form of Piles.

The study Of physicians. the experiments
of chemists, the loudly advertised preten-
sions Of quacks have been for years ex-
uded in one direction; to find pile cure
that will cure
The results have been a number of harm
less and, in most cases. useless ointments,
suppositories and even internal remedies.
which the public have weighed in the bal
ance Of experience and found wanting; near
Iy all of them gave some relief, but nothing
approaching a radical cure resulted from
these preparations,
The remedy required is one that immedi-
ately stops the pain so severe in most cases
Of piles, and then by contracting the small
blood vessels (capillaries) 70 their normal
size, produces a radical cure by reducing
and finally absorbing the tumors and heal
ing the inhamed, raw mucous surfaces.
Until two years ago no such remedy had
been produced, but at that time suppository
was placed upon the market, which has
since proven itself to be the long-sought
permanent cure for this common and dis
tressing trouble; it has rapidly become IA
nous throughout the United States and
Canada, and is now sold by nearly all drug
gists under the name of the Pyramid Pile
Cure.
tt is now the best known, because its merit
and safety have advertised it wherever used.
1t has been advertised by word of mouth.
from one sufferer to another; people who
had tried everything else, even submitting
10 painful and dangerous surgical operations
without avail, finally have found that piles
may be cured without pain and without eX-
pense, practically, as the Pyramid Pile Cure
Is sold for the nominal price of 80 cents and
81 per package.
The pyramid instantly stops all pain and
at the same time contain no cocaine, NOR
phine or narcotics; the acids and healing
properties contained in the remedy speedily
remove, cause a healthful, natural contrac-
ton and absorption of tumors; it will cure
any form of rectal trouble except cancer and
advanced fstula, which, by the way, nearly
always result from neglecting proper and
timely treatment for piles
AS above stated can furnish you with the
Pyramid Pile Cure at 50 cents for ordinary
size or 81 for large package.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Objections to 1t as a Doctrine, but 1t
Has Claims as a Practical Religion.

Leslie's Weekly.
Few movements of the day are so little
talked about and so much thought about as
Christian Science. Considered as doctrine,
scientific or religious, Christian Science is
ou7n to numerous and serious objections.
But as a practical religion it is an accom-
plished fact. Thirty-five years ago 1T had
not been conceived, and hardly twenty-five
have passed since its first written express
sion Yet to-day Christian Scientists main
tain more than four hundred churches,
whose congregations aggregate over hait
q million people, and in addition there are
numerous cults unrecognized by the moth
er church." but lineally descended from 1t.
Such an extended and immediate develop
rnent cannot be ascribed to chance, nor may
it be properly denoted as Iad: 4 on I the
other hand, no one who has studied the rise
and decadence of religions of the past, and
has observed how each IN turn mas been
deemed infallibie, only to IAN later IN desue-
fuda is likely to ascribe to the tenetS of
Christian Science simply Tor the NUMBER or
its adherents. What may De asserted. as
tors, not a passing whirn, forced Christian
Science into being.
The inception OF a rehgion, Ialne solhe-
where says. is to be found in two occasions
an INSPIRED and inspiring personality, ana
n neople whom conditions, transitory or per-
m3nent have placed in a receptive mood.
The history of Christian science shows both
these factors. Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy.
who announced the doctrine, has a magnet
ia. dominating. and domineering personality.
Able TO impress upon continually widen
ing circle her own faith and idealism, she
is at the same time an intensely practical
woman of affairs. Upon the growing organ
ization She early set the seal of autocratic
government modelling ii after the pattern
Of the Church of Rome. She seems to have
done this deliberately, preferring, as the old
proverb has Ii, a compact, Weil-saillng ship
that may some day go 20 the bottom with
an hands to the humber democratic raft,
which cannot sink, but whose occupants are
viii happen at Mrs Eddy's death Is a mat

az moment are in her final jurisdiction. Lee
turers appointed by her are alone permitted
to expOund Science and Health" wherein
is the "Credo" Of the faith Even Chris
tan Science publications must pass through
a printing house established especially for
that purpose.

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1899-02-05

chicanerv is often needful So Mrs. Eddy
extols her work without stint, ana places
herself without abashment upon holy

No person can compass or fulhll the indl-
Vidual mission of Jesus OF Nazareth. no
person can take the place of the author Of
Science and Health, the dlscoVerer ana
founder of Christian Science. Though Mrs
Eddy is now over eighty years old she con-
ducts a large amount or business writes
controversial and explanatory articles day
by day, and IS the very life and center OF
the hundred thousands who call her

then is the first cause for the widespread
growth of Christian Science. The second
arises from conditions peculiar In some de-
gree to this age and country.
Many people, for one thing, have tired or
agnosticism with its resolution OF the uni

Whether true or not, IL Is an unsatisTying
creed; this vague immensely controlled

Christ and His teachings except as Deauti-

cison has modern biblical criticism exhibit
ed the lack of historical evidence, the In

marvellous of written books. So people have
wavered between a ssief they could not ac-

After my discovery of Christian Science,
Mrs Eddy says. Il healed consumption IN

visit a cancer that had so eaten the flesh

This Is a fair example of the claims
usually made by Christian Scientists. How
far the facts bear thvm out is difficult to
determine, because of the number and COM
plexity of the factors involved. When. for
Instance. they assert that p patient has been
cured OF consumption, IL should be shown t(

many curious cases of healing have been
placed on record, and through them Chris
tan Scientists have gained large folow-
ing. That the truth of their religion tol-
lows from their skill in therapeutics seems
to them self-evident In fact, they bind
them both together affirming one TO be ina
demonstration of the other. God is spirit
they say, all-good, harmonious all-inclusiYe.
Man is also spirit, part of God, whose natura
flows through man. Therefore man is IN re-
atty harmonious, perfect, one with Coo.
Hence Christian Science disclaims Sickness
sin and death. on the basis of the omnipo-
tence and omnipresence of God. Ihey ara
Illusions which, If men trust in their d.
vine kinship, viii pass away. And this IS
what Christ proved when he healed the Sick
and raised the dead, by simply making peos
ple feel-what they did not consciously real-
ize-their oneness with God. There is, them
only one entity or principle in TIE universe;
the divine spirit whereof men are partakers.
AN else as matter is unreal and opposed To-
this spirit with which man should strive 10
come into continuously closer communion.
These briefly stated, are the cardinal
tenets of Christian Science. They consists
az viii be seen. of two lines Of thought
woven in a single strand.
