The study OF physicians, the experiments
Of chemists, the loudly advertised preten-
sions OF quacks, have been for years ex-
pended in one direction; 10 find pile cure
that will cure.
The results have been a number OF harm
less, and In most cases useless o!ntments,
supposNories and even internal remedies
which the public have weighed in the ball
ance OF experience and found wanting; near
ly all OF them gave some relief, but nothing
approaching a radical cure resulted from
these preparations.
The remedy required is one that immed-
diatey stops the pain 80 severe In most cases
OF piles and then by contracting the small
blood vessels (capillnrics) to their normal
size produces a radical cure by reducing
and finally absorbing the tumors and heal
ing the innamed. raw mucous surfaces.
Until two years ago, no such remedy had
been produced, but al that time supposi-
tory was placed upon the market. which has
since proven itself TO be the long sought
permanent cure for this common and dis
tressing trouble; II has rapidly become ia
nous throughout the United States and
Canada. and is now sold by nearly all drug

SAILORS CLAIMS FOR BOUNTY.
Marines Who Sunk Spanish ships Ask
for lsnnl AcISnOWI IedEment.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The secretary of
the navy has submitted to the court of
claims another batch of claims for bounty
money by United States sailors on account
of the Spanish war ships destroyed A mis-
apprehension seems TO have arisen on ac-
count of the action of the Navy department
in referring the cases and the inference has
been drawn that this course was adopted be-
cause the Navy department was itself in
doubt as to the conditions under which the
Spanish ships were destroyed and felt itself
incapable OF passing upon the question as
to whom the credit belongs. 1t is said, how
ever, at the department that in the opinion
of the legal authorities this reference is
necessary to meet the statutes relative to
the payment OF bounty money. Therefore
the attorney general has been notified of the
reference of the cases and requested to ap-
pear before the court in the interest OF the
United States, though this request does not
by any means signify any hostility on the
part of the Navy department toward the
claims.
