CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One OF the Best Features OF the New
Pile Cure.

The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all forms
OF piles without one particle Of pain. This
desirable point is not obtained by the use
OF injurious opiates which simply deaden
and paralyze the nerves of the parts and
make matters worse in the long run. But
IL is done solely by its remarkable healing
and soothing effects,
And while II thus gives immediate re-
lief. at the same time the disease is not
merely checked, but radical cure is
ACCOMPLISHED
And the point We want to make clear u
that all this Is done without particle Of
pain.
This fact is one great reason for the
popularity OF the Pyramid Pile Cure and
constitutes one very great difference be
tween 1t and almost any other treatment
for niles.
Every kind OF surgical operation for
piles Is overwhelmingly painful besides en- :
dansering the life OF the patient aud in
most cases Is not to be compared with
the Pyramid Pile Cure. neither in making
successful cures without pain nor in
cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been before
ihe public so long, and IT'S merits reoor
nlzed oy too many people TO allow Il 10 be
eiassed with The many salves sunnosi-
,ories' pllls, etc, and YOU run no risk in
Tying ~ as 7 Is often the case with I'm :
tried preparations.
II YOU are ever troubled with any form
OF piles OF rectal disease do not torK., ths
fyramh flle Cure Prepared hy the pvrs !.

Atlantic City, n. j. April 26.-The com
mittee on monetary legislation, appointed
by caucus Of the republican n<nbers OF
the National house of representatives, and
which committee convened here on April
II, is rapidly completing its plans for
monetary legislation The members have
shown great interest in their work and
their labors frequently extend far into the
night. The morning sessions cover pc
Rod Of three hours. The afternoons are
devoted TO subcommittee work and the
evenings to informal conferences.
Mr.. Hawley of Texas is the only absent
member, and in view of the promised
early adjournment OF the committee he is
not expected to he present. The report
that the members are enjoying junket
at the expense OF the government and that
their sessions will not result in a measure
OF practical reform Is indignantly denied.
II is pointed out that the members Sre
here entirely at their own expense, as
they we're appointed by toe republican
caucus and not by resolution OF the
house. They hope TO complete their bill
this week for the consideration of the
next congress. although a subcommittee
may be appointed to perfect IL after the
details have been agreed upon
All the members OF the committee main
tain the greatest reticence in discussing
their conclusions, but il Is asserted that the
