PORTO RICO CRIES FOR HELP.
Stop This Degrading Almsgiving Which is
Pauperizing the Whole People
CJames Creelman in New York Journal.)

SAN Juan, Puerto Rico, March l5.-The condi-
ton of Puerto Rico is almost incredible The
whole people are being pauperizcd by free gov
trnmcnt rations, while the Instability Of the
country without constitutional guarantee prevents
American capital from flowing in.
There is a general outcry from leading Puerto
Ricans in all parts of the island against this de
grading almsgiving as a bride to quiet the people
while Congress is fastening the slavery of colo
NAL system uuon them.
The official returns show that in FIVE months
the normal death rate of Puerto Rico has in
creased 9,C00 since the tornado period, showing
that the island is losing in population at the rate
Of 10000 year as a result of American control:
The sights in the mountain districts are APP
paling All experienced men agree in saving
that the only hope of saving Puerto Rico from
utter ruin is to at convert it into regular
United States Territory. The people do not need
charity They need the opportunity to work
The heart of the most sordid trust president
would be melted by the spectacle OF helpless
nation waiting in suspense for the news That
Congress has refused to take all hope from them.

The Old Methods of Treating Piles and Recta
Diseases Supplanted by the Pyramid Pile Cure

The Old Methods of Treating Piles and Recta
Diseases Supplanted by the Pyramid Pile Cure.
The old methods of treating piles by llgature
IU the knife or by the cruel methods OF Gilata
ton besides causing intense pain and frequent
collarse and death, are known to be but
mere makeshifts as far cure is concerned
The liver is responsible for nearly every case
piles and the mistake has been made OF treating
piles as a purely local disease. Such is not the
case however and the success of the new treat
ment known as the Pyramid Pile Cure has de
monstratcd it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a salve or oint-
nent, but a suppository which is applied at night
and absorbed into the sensitive rectal membrane
and acts both as a local and constitutional
treatment. and in cases of many years standing
this treatment has been eifectual
Thousands of pile sufferers bear witness to the
inestimable value of the Pyramid and even those
who have undergone surgical operations without
a cure have been happily surprised by results
from few weeks treatment with Pyramid
The relief from pain is so immediate that pa
tients sometimes imagine that the Pyramid con
tsins opiates or cocaine because the relief is so
instantaneous but the Pyramid Pile Cure Is
guaranteed absolutely free from any opiate OF
mineral ~oison whatever.
The relief is the result Of the astrlngent proper
ties OF the remedy which causes the little humorS
and congested blood vessels to contract ana a
normal circulation is established.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly sclentlhc
both in its composition and in its therapeutic
action and the best feature Of it is that 1t IS per
fectly safe and harmless. No i'll effects ever re
suit from its use, but only positive benefit
A singular fact in view OF the large number
of patent medicines before the public is that tn

ton 1t is the only pile cure popular enough ant
meritorious enough to be found in every drus

in nine cases out of ten, exist because
the impure blood cannot supply prop
er nerve food: cures debility and
that tired feeling, which just as surely
indicate that the blood is lacking in
vitality and the clements of health.
