MERIT MAKES 1T FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy in the World, Ex-
cept a Surgical Operation, That
Will Certainly Cure Any Form

The study of physicians, the expert
ments of chemists, the loudly advertised
pretensions of quacks, have been for
years expended in one direction; to find
a pile cure that will cure.
The results have been a number of
harmless, and in most cases usless ONT
ments, suppositories and even internal
remedies, which the public have weigh
ed in the balance of experience and
found wanting; nearly all of them gave
some relief, but nothing approaching a
radical cure resulted from these pre-
parations.
The remedy required is one that I'M
mediately stops the pain SO severe in
most cases of piles, and then by con-
tracing the small blood vessels (capil-
laries) to their normal size, produces
a radical cure by reducing and finally
absorbing the tumors and healing the
inf1amed, raw mucous surfaces.
Until two years ago, no such remedy
had been produced, but at that time
suppository was placed upon the mar
ket, which has since proven itself to be
the long sought permanent cure for
this common and distressing trouble;
it has rapidly become famous through
out the United States and Canada, and
is now sold by nearly all druggists I'M
der the name of the Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t is now the best known, because it's
merit and safety have advertised it
wherever used. 1t has been advertised
by word of mouth, from one sufferer to
another; people VINO nad tried every
thing else, even submitting to painful
and dangerous surgical operations with
out avail finally have found that piles
may be cured without pain and without
expense, practically, as the Pyramid
Pile Cure is sold for the nominal price
of so cents and $1.00 per package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all pain
and at the same time contains no CO.
caine morphine or narcotics; the acids
and healing properties contained in the
remedy speedily remove, cause a health
full, natural contraction and absorption
of tumors; it will cure any form of
rectal trouble except cancer and ad-
vanced f1stula, which by the way, near
ly always results from neglecting prop
er and timely treatment for piles.
AS above stated, can furnish you with
the Pyramid Pile Cure at so cents for
ordinary size or $1.00 for large package.

A man in the darkness of hopeless dis
ease is of all men most miserable. When
doctors and medicines innumerable have
been tried and found wanting, and loving
friends vainly urge upon him the food he
cannot eat and which brings him no nour-
ishment or strength, what is to be done?
Men and women who have sunken so
far into weakness and disease that the
whole body seems to be permeated and
poisoned by it have found health,
, strength and vigor through the transform
ing, e1ectrifying power of that wonderful
Golden Medical Discovery which DR..
R V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, proffered,
thirty years ago, to sick and suffering hui
mainly.
During all the years since then this mar
ve1ous Discovery has been building up
weak and debi1itated constitutions by its
extraordinary influence upon the human,
nutritive system. 1t gives the digestive
ganisn keen power and capacity TO appro-
pirate every giving element from the
food taken into the stomach and trans
forms II into rich, highly vitalized blood
and healthy flesh, bone, sinew and nerve
fiber.
Consumption in all its earlier stages Is
arrested and counteracted by the tissue
building, flesh making, life promoting pow
er of this grand medicine and there is no

newed hope

WAR rs STILL HESITATING.
England Preparing for Coming Trouble
Possible Ultinatum Expected.

London, Oct. 4.-There are no new
developments in the Transvaal situa-
ton. Arrangements for the dispatch
of war stores and men continue. A
quantity Of balloon material has been
sent to South Africa, the war office
considering that military ballooning
will prove of the greatest value in the
kind Of warfare expected in South
Africa. The chartering Of transports
is still going on. Five vessels of the
Cunard line are now engaged.
Montague White, consul general for
the South African Republic in Lon
don, told the Associated Press yester-
day morning that he telegraphed Pres
ident Kruger Monday, urging him to
make a personal appeal to Lord Sails
bury, dwelling upon the iniQuity of the
war and proposing a scheme as
basis of further negotiations. He said
he was momentarily expecting to hear
that the Transvaal government was
sending an ultimatum to Great Britain,
declaring the dispatch of troops a
casus belli, in which event he would
be compelled to close his offices.

tons for fighting A telegram from
Paris announces that NJ. Arnaud, pres
ident of the International Arbitration

ject of averting war.
London, Oct. A special dispatch
from Pretoria, dated Monday, says
that the meeting Of the raad adjourned
at II o'clock in the morning and that
only a legal quorum of members was
present The Transvaal reply, it is re-
ported, is now ready for dispatch and
only waits the receipt of the British
note.

The insurgents had trenches along the

Yesterday morning Colonel Daggetts

of the Fourth regiment under Captain
Hollis were thrown out from linus, the
two commands forming junction.
The entire line crossed the river and
drove the FilipinoS from their trenches
to the westward. The only American
casualty was the wounding of lieu

New York, Oct. 4.-There never was
a worse case of Wind-cussedness than
the one that met the big cutters yes
terday when they went out to Scotland

America cup. The race was declared

the Atlantic in the hope of lifting the
100 guinea cup which the America
brought back forty-eight years ago,
and which has since been successfully
defended against the world. During
the five and half hours sail the Sham

points of the compass.

A Perfect Diagnosis.

DR.. George Eordyce, who came IN,
1862 from Edinburgh to London, very,
speedily made himself q name by 4
series of public lectures on medical sci
ence, which he afterWard published in
q volume entitled, Elements of the
Practice of Physics" which passed
through many editions. Unfortunately.
he was given to drink, and, though he
never was known to be dead drunk,
yet he was often in a state which
rendered him unfit for professional du-
ties.
One night when he was in such a
condition he was suddenly sent for to
attend a lady Of title who was very
ill. He went, sat down, listened to her
story and felt her pulse. He found he.
was not up to his work. He lost his
wits and in a moment Of forgetfulness
exclaimed, Drunk, by Jove" Still he
managed to write out a mild prescrip-
ton.
Early next morning he received
message from his noble patient to call
on her at once. DR.. Fordyce felt very
uncomfortable. The lady evidently in
tended TO upbraid him either with an
improper prescription or with his dis
graceful condition. But to his sur
prise and relief she thanked him for
his prompt compliance with her press
ing summons and then confessed that
he had rightly diagnosed her case, that
unfortunately she occasionally indulg-
ed too freely in drink, but that she
hoped he would preserve inviolable Sc
crecy as to the condition he had found
her in. Fordyce listened to her grave
as judge and said: "You may depend
upon me, madam. l shall be as silent
as the grave" -Gentleman's Magazine.
