a Strong
Statement
Regarding the Wonderful
Merit of
Or. ChaSe'S Ointment
AS AN ABSOLUTE CURE FOR
ITCHING PILES.

DR.. Chase's Ointment is an absolute
cure for piles, and has never been
known 10 fail 10 cure the worst forms
of this torturing disease, which has
batfled medical skill for ages.
This statement may sound rather
strong 10 persons who do not know the
superior merits of Dr. Chase's Oint-
ment, but it is perfectly true, and en-
dorsed by the grateful testimony of
thousands of men and women who have
been cured by it after years of suffering
and after trying many preparations and
consulting the best doctors in vain.
An honest druggist will always recon-
mend DR.. A. w. Chase's Ointment as
the best remedy for piles. He knows
that the most skillful physicians endorse
il, and knows from what his customers
tell him that it is the only preparation
which is a positive and absolute cure for
this horrible disease.
Many remedies afford temporary re-
lief, and arouse false hope, but never
quite cure. Sometimes surgical
operation will cure but that is the old
way-the cruel, expensive, dangerous
way. DR.. Chase's Ointment cures by
its magical soothing and healing infu-
ence. II is the only certain and guar
snteed cure. so cents a box, at all

UNIFORM has not yet been adopted, but

DR.. Niece says This is thing

pirically, or at one stroke"
With our increasing responsibilities in

tail the keeping of "a large force of our
soldiers in counties and climates gener-
ally alien TO them, the continued main
tansnce of the corps of women nurses
seems nothing more nor less than a hu-
name necessity. The woman nurse
during the recent campaign proved her
self capable OF rising above the most
trying and usual conditions. She has
been success; more than that, she has
been acknowledged necessity. Nurs-
ing is distinctively weman's vocation.
1t is a profession which, under all or
mary and most extraordinary circum-
stances, should belong to women. Ask
any Of the soldiers who lay i'll or wound
ed in the hospitals during the late war
what they think of the woman nurse
There will be but one answer TO every
query, and it will be seen that the moral
strengthening and support of a good

The North American Review for
September is in close touch with the
leading interests of the day and in the
quality of its contents it more than ful-
ills the promises made by the new ed
itor when he undertook the manage
ment of the Review-which, indeed,
have been most generously redeemed
by every issue that has come from his
hands. The number opens with the
late Colonel Ingersoll's famous reply to
the Rev. DR.. Henry NJ. Field, which
was published originally in the Review
in November, 1887, and which is re-
published now in consideration of the
keen and widespread interest awakenen
by Colonel lngersoll's death in his views
on religion and religious dogma This
paper contains what is in all probability
the fullest, strongest and most eloquent
statement of his position which the
brilliant agnostic ever penned. The
nature and extent of "lngersoll's In
fluence' is discussed by DR.. Henry NJ.
Field, Colonel Ingersoll's old friend and
antagonist, who goes with some minute
ness into an examination of the reasons
for believing that the influence of In
gersoll will not survive him long.

Public business is properly con-
Quoted, when the acts Of officials
will bear the closest scrutiny. There
should be no act performed by the
municipal officers, to which the
people should not have the right
of inspection and criticism. The
plans for the new water system
should be held up to the calcium
light of public criticism and dis
cussion. Every possible effort
should be made to secure the wild
est publicity to the specifications,
that bidders from all portions Of the
country may have opportunity to
secure the contract and the cons
tract then let to the lowest respon-
sible bidder. Equal justice to all,
special favors to none. If this be
backcapping, we must plead guilty
to the charge.
