DANGEROUS TO LIFE.
Surgical Operations for piles Dang
erous and Unnecessary.

The failure of ointments. salves. and
pills TO permanently cure piles has led
many to believe the only cure to be sur
cical operation.
But surgical operations are dangerous TO
life and moreover are often unsuccessful
and At this time are no longer used by the
hest physicians nor recommended by them.
The safest and surest way TO cure any
case OF piles. whether itching beeIng,
or protruding is 10 use the Pyramid Pile
Cure. composed Of vegetable oils and acids.
healing and soothing to the infamed parts
and containing no opium or other narcotic.
DR. Williams. a prominent orificial sur
geon says: 1T is the duty of every sur
geon 10 avoid an operation If possible 10
cure in any other way. and after many
trials with the Pyramid Pile Cure, ! un-
hesitatingly recommend il in preference 10
an operation.
The harmless acids and oils contained ia
IT cause the blood vessels TO contract to a
natural condition and the tumors are alb
sorbed and the cure is made without pain,
inconvenience or detention from business
In bleeding and itching piles the Pyra-
mid is equally valuable"
In some cases a single package of the
Pyramid has cured long standing cases;

ready for use can be carried in the pocket

safest and surest remedy for piles but

Maine TO California. Every physician and

in Shanghai. These Associations,
for racial reasons, must be separate
in working, but must be under a
central Board and supervision.
For this beginning we praise God.
Bat the most difficult part has yet
to come. To maintain and direct
Association work so as to stem the
tide is not the task for a single work
err. If the work is failure, it will
probably be because it is not pro-
perly manned. The excessive fnan-
cial strain, the business management,
the problems for young men, per-
sonal interviews, religious meetings.
Bible classes. receptions, evening
classes, baseball and bicycle clubs,
are departments of the work, and
call for constant supervision and
leadership. Responsibility can scarce
ly be delegated for there can not be
trained cooperation in work which
is without precedent in this Empire.
May | ask you to unite with me to
pray that the Spirit will call out and
appoint the right men?

them. Then, in turn, some ofthe mission.
aries, it may be inferred, became the vic.
tins of designing men who professed
Christianity in order to obtain aid in
avoiding just punishment, and in some
cases it is probable they were able to Sc
cure from these noble and selfsacri6cing
men and women a protection which
they did not altogether deserve. This
condition intensified the feeling which
has always existed against the mission
aries.
The literary class in China, who are
the leaders of the Boxers, are keen critics
and know how to work upon the preju-
dices OF their countrymen. They circu-
lated the silliest stories about Christian
ity, which reused the fury of the masses.
Recently they have been embodened by
the fact that some of the highest Chi
nese officials are in sympathy with them
The root of all the hatred of the mis-
sionaries is said to be the latter's disap-
provel of the idolatrous worship of an
cestors. This ceremony is part of Con-
fucianism. The educated Chnaman is
willing to laugh at Buddhism or Taoism
but reverence for his ancestors is one Of
the passions of his life. One may call a
native Chinaman all the bad names in
the vocabulary and he may not resent it !;
but a word against his ancestors will
arouse his most vindictive fury.

The "Boxers" of China.

Another of the long list of crimes attrib-
uted to the Chinese society known as
the Boxers" has just been reported the
murder of Chinese Catholics in the prov
ince of Pe-Chi-Li (pee-chee-lee). Eleven
million men belong to this lawless So
ciety which, strange as it may seem, was
originally organized to repress lawless-
ness.
1t was formed to deal with the bandits
in the province of Shan Tung; and was
at first called the Ia Tao Hwei, or
the Society of the Great Sword. More
recent is the name Universal Society of
Boxers, but the change signifies little; in
fact, change of name among the secret
societies is frequent. One name is kept
until an edict of suppression is issued
against, it and then anew name is adopt
ed, and the society goes on as if nothing
had happened.
AS this society became more powerful
and increased in numbers many dis
honest and designing persons entered it.
These men proved a disturbing element,
and in many cases directed the efforts Of
the society against their personal enemies,
whom they represented as bandits and
lawless persons. Such persons looking
around for protection found it IN the
Christian missionaries, and especially
the German Catholics.
These men professed conversion, and
besought succor, and the missionaries
used every endea gor to secure Justice for
