BLEEDING PILES

And all other forms of this common and
often dangerous disease readily cured
without pain or inconvenience.
Thousands of men and women are af-
ficted with some sort of piles without
trouble, or knowing it, are careless
enough to allow It to run without taking
the simple means offered for a radical
cure.
The failure of salves and ointments to
permanently cure piles has led many to
believe the only cure to be a surgical OPP
Grafton.
Surgical operations are dangerous to
life, and moreover. not often entirely sue
cessful, and at this time are no longer
used by the best physicians or recon-
mended by them.
The safest and surest way to cure any
case of piles, whether blind, bleeding or
protruding, is to use the Pyramid Pile
Cure, composed of healing vegetable oils,
and absolutely free from mineral poisons
and opiates The following letter from 3
Pittsburg gentleman, severe sufferer
from bleeding piles, gives some idea of the
prompt effsctual character of this pile
cure. He writes:
I take pleasure writing these few lines
to let you know that I die not sleep for
three months, except for a short time
each night, because of a bad case OF
bleeding piles. I was down in bed and the
doctors did me no good. A good brother
told me of the Pyramid Pile Cure. and !
bought from my druggist three 30 cent
boxes. They cured me- and will soon be
able TO go to my work again.

The Pyramid Pile Cure is not only the
safest and surest remedy for piles, but is
the best known and most popular. Every
knows it and what It will do.

describing all forms of piles and the pro-
per treatment

Miner Bland was placed on probat-
ion for three months this morning. He
was brought before Judge Christopher

new men until April l to get ready
for duty. Judging by the feeling ev-
erywhere expressed by republicans,
Oren B. Bates can be chief Of police if
he wishes.
Mr.. Bates is qualified for the posi-
ton in several respects, He has been
long a resident of the town, and is
thoroughly familiar with every district
in the town. He gained much of this
familiarity while he was superintend-
ent Of the water department.

the law breakers, is a difficult matter.

do it. if anybody can.
If the selectmen yield to republican
pressure there will be some changes
in the metropolitan force. These are
six men appointed by the selectmen
yearly and approved by the metropoli-
tan water board. 1t has been assumed
by many persons that the selectmen
could not make changes in this force.
The assumption is erroneous. The Sc

in their wisdom they see fit not to re-
appoint they are not obliged to- If
their reasons for not reappointing are
good reasons the water board would
doubtless approve any new appoint
ments that might be made.

Fire Narrowly Averted by Goodness and
Prompt Action of Southbridge Man.
Southbridge, March pa fire was
narrowly averted yesterday on Park
street by the prompt work of Frank II.
Bacon. Mr.. Bacon was on his way to
work and when near the old Hartwell
house on Park street was attracted by
the cries of Miss Emmons, an elderly
lady who lives in the block, telling him
to pull in an alarm OF fire. Bacon ran
into the house and found a brisk fire
burning back Of the stove. The fire had
caught in the wood box and had burned
through the floor and up the side of the
mantel Mr. Bacon thought at first to
sound the fire alarm. but concluded the
fire would gain rapidly while he was
getting to the nearest box and so went
to work on the fire and after a few
minutes hard work, put out the flames
himself The fire was confined to one
room and the damage was comparative
ly light,

mentary banquet to the Southbridge

proposed new fire house for the down

sibility," he said in answer to a ques-
ton from the reporter, but still it is
a hard job. A few years ago, when the
constables We're given so much money
for every raid they made, they were at
it every day, but accomplished little or
nothing. Now, when they are not paid
for making raids, they are inactive,
and these places go on doing business
without fear of the law. That is why
favor license this year. l think 1t is
better If this stuff is to be sold to have
1t done legally, and let the town derive
It's lust revenue. I do not think, how
ever, that the French people as a class
should be blamed for these pests, for
ell are not French who sell rum in
canada. The French people as peo-
pie have the welfare of the town at
heart as we'll as any one else and are a
laW-ablding people, but the temptation
10 make money easily is too strong"
Inc gentleman says that under any
other circumstances he would be sorry
10 see the town in the license column,
but now considers that 1t would be
choosing the lesser of two evils to vote
license; as he thinks under license
rule it would be almost impossible for
the dives to thrive and that they would
be gradually forced out Of business
But past experience has taught North
Brooktield what license will do, and a.
good campaign Will probably keep the
town on the prohibition list another
year.
