BLEEDING PILES
And All other Forms of This Conn

by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

Thousands of men and women suffer
from some form of piles without eitner

The failure of saIves and ointment TO

surgical operation. but surgical operations
are dangerous to life and moreover vary
expensive and by no means always or
even often successful.
The safest and surest way to cure any
case of piles whether itching, protruding
or bleeding. is to use the Pyramid Pile
and absolutely free from mineral poi
sons and opiates.
Mr.. VIM. Handschu. of Pittsburg. Pa,

ESTABLISHMENT.
Dominion Government, on Account
of strong Opposition, Reported to
Have Given Up Project Either

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec. 1o.-lt Is re-
ported here that owing to the opposition
of the bankers. the dominion government
will give up the idea of locating Sdha-
dian mint in Vancouver or anywhere else.
About two months ago II was announces
by Hon. W. s. Fielding, minister OF I'M

ter of the interior, that on account OF the
large production of gold IN the Klondike

step II was expected that not only wohid
the gold produced in Canada be prevented
from going out of the country, put that
much trade which now follows the gold
dust to Seattle and Spokane would be d.
verted to Vancouver, Victoria and Ross
land.
The unexpected opposition OF the Ca
madam bankers has proved a check 10
the advocates of the mint. The attitude
of the financiers is due to the fact that
the circulation of the notes of chartered
banks is a source of profit in itself,
portion of a Canadian banks profits de-
pending upon the extent of its circula-
ton. IT is stated that the substitution OF
gold coin for bank notes would entail

of British gold in circulation in Canada
is practically nil. and neither is there

They operate under a common banking
act. prepared originally by practical bank
