Remedy Which ie Bringin
Comfort to Thousands of Sufferers.
Probably one-half the people who
see this article suffer from piles.
It is one of the commonest of dis
eases as well as one of the most OBJ
stinate and painful.
People suffer from piles for years
and just because it is not imme-
diately fatal they neglect it.
Carelessness causes no end of
suffering. Carelessness about so
simple thing as piles has fire.
quently caused death.
Hemorrhages occur from no APP
parent cause and the loss of blood
causes death.
Surgical operations for piles Of
ten cause death. Piles are simple
in the beginning and easily cured.
They can be cured even in the
worst stages without pain, loss of
blood or detention from business.
And the remedy which will do it
surely and completely is the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure.
1t allays the itching and indam-
nation Immediately, heals the irri-
tated surfaces, and after regular
use for a short time removes the
swelling and puts the rectal mem
brane into sound, healthy condi-
ton.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all
forms of piles thoroughly and per-
manently.
A great many pile remedies con-
tain cocaine, morphine and similar
dangerous drugs to quiet the pain
and make the patient believe he is
getting well, but their action is
temporary and it requires no argu-
ment to show the danger of using
such remedies.
The Pyramid Pile Cure contains
no cocaine, narcotic, nor any pois-
onous drug whatever, and it is so
far ahead of any other pile rem
edy for safety and efficiency as not
to be mentioned in the same class.
Any sufferer from piles who will
write the Pyramid Drug Co., of
Marshall, Mich, may receive a val
liable little book on the nature and
cure of piles, sent free by mail.
Or better yet, ask any druggist in
the United States what is the safest
and surest pile cure and he will say
the Pyramid.
All druggists sell full sized pack
ages of the Pyramid Pile Cure at SO
cents. They cure itching piles,
protruding, bleeding or any form
of this common and troublesome
disease.

Well, that time he disappointed us.
He would not roar at all. He sat 81
lent as the sphinx and by dint of mu
tual forbearance our sober second
thought aiding your sober first thought
we avoided everything but a mere war
of words.
Alluding to the satisfactory dispell-
ing of the cloud between Russia and
England over the Niu Chwang railway
extension loan by means Of peaceful
diplomacy, Mr. Choate said:
"That is the kind of diplomacy which
I, who am just entering upon a dip
lomatic career, desire very much to
understand, for l am fresh enough. to
believe that, if these two countries.
laboring together for peace, unite their
voices in demanding it, it is almost
sure in every case. tCheers), I would
like to quote my president again, for
the last words l heard him say We're
that the United States to-day was on
better terms with every nation on the
face of the earth than it had ever been
before. (Cheers).
Now, | have little more to say of
my country. tCries of Go onD. Our
young republic had hard work during
the past century to Subdue the contin-
ent and to turn a wilderness into a
smiling and wealthy garden. But, that
business is now pretty we'll finished.
and SO last year, your brother Jona-
than started out to see the world. He
donned seven league, nay seven hun
dred league, boots. and planted his foot
steps on the isles of the sea. And
what gigantic strides he made-Hawaii,
then Manila, and, another step, my
Lord Charles, would have brought him
to Hong Kong. Well, our interest and
commerce differ only in degree; and
it isl won't say as Lord Charles
Beresford did, by putting fleets side by
side-but by a common purpose and
a united voice for US to command peace
for the mutual support of the COM
merce of the two Countries
After paying eloquent tribute to the
late Baron Herschell and to Rudyard
kipling, Mr.. Choate concluded as fol-
lows:
Gentlemen, we are almost one peo-
pie. What | say is let our voices al
ways be lifted together for the cause
of human progress and the advance
ment Of civilization, and, my word for
ii, if that can always be followed, why,
then, law, order, peace and freedom,
which are the nurses of commerce the
world over, will prevail and the cause
Of humanity will be advanced

Baron Russell of KilIowen followed
Mr.. Choate. complimented him upon his
eloquence. the width and depth of his
observations and the statesmanlike tone
that pervaded his speech.
The other speakers dealt with mat
ters of local interest The chairman
said he Joined most cordially in well
coming the American ambassador and
expressed the hope that during his ten
ure of office no cloud would ever arise
between England and the United States.
The proceedings then terminated Mr.
Choate spoke deliberately and in rather
a low tone. His humorous remarks
met with peals of laughter. He had
a wonderful reception and made quite
the speech of the evening.

GALLANT FIGHTERS.
Filipinos Were Demoralized by American
Tactics.

London, March 16.-The Daily Graphic
publishes this morning letter from
British naval officer in Manila, under
date of Feb 7, describing the beginning
of the fighting between the Americans
and Filipinos. which he says was due
to an attempt on the part of the latter
to rush an American post.
THE British officers" he continues,
'were not allowed to land until the day
following the battle. and We're even
then prohibited from going to the front,
but on yesterdays battlefield l saw
Filipino prisoners burying heaps of
their dead.
Il, cannot for a moment be doubted
that the Americans fought with gal
lantry and pluck, While the rebels. who
We're armed with Mausers and Reming-
tons maintained a stubborn defense.
Their dead bodies testify to this. 1t is
also clear that the Filipinos were as
founded and demoralized by the Ameri-
can tactics and the vigorous pursuit the
Americans kept up throughout the day,
instead of following, as the Filipinos ex-
pected, the Spanish custom of midday
rest

Washington. March 15.--In consider
ing what policy should be adopted to-
ward the Cuban military assembly the
authorities have consulted Senior Con-
zales Quesada, the Cuban representa-
tive, who has advised that the assem-
bly, be allowed to run its course with
out molestation. as he holds that it
has no strength outside of its own
membership. and that any move to dis
band it would give the members an
opportunity to appear as martyrs. This
view has been accepted thus far and
may continue. although General
Brooke, being on the ground, has con-
siderable latitude of action.

"A speech in better taste could not be

but brimful of eloduence, humor and
pathos; and however high the standard of
oratory may be set, it is impossible to de-

speech and strengthened the ties of broth
erhood and friendship that are making
for the peace of the world"
