THE OLD METHOD
Of Treating Piles and Rectal Diseases
 Now Discarded

Thousands of sufferers bear witness to the
 value of the Pyramid Pile Cure, and even in
 cases where dangerous surgical operation
 has failed to cure, surprising results have
 been obtained from the new remedy after a few weeks use.
 Relief from pain is so immediate that
 patients sometimes imagine that the Pyra-
 mid Pile Cure must contain some form of cocaine or opiate. but a careful analysis shows it to contain no opiate cocaine or any injurious drug whatever, in fact 1t Is guar anteed absolutely free from any deleterious substance
 The old methods of treating piles by lig- ature, knife, or the still more cruel treat ment by dilation besides causing intense
 pain, and frequently collapse and death, are now known to be practically useless as far as a permanent cure is concerned.
 Nearly every case of piles may be traced to faulty action of the liver and 1t is a
 mistake to treat the trouble entirely by local applications of salves and ointments or by any kind of operation. The new treat ment by the Pyramid has clearly demon strated its superiority over all of, these. The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly scientific both in It's composition and in its therapet- tic action, and the best feature of 1t Is that l it is perfectly safe and harmless. No ill ef- fleets ever result from it's use. The cure is accomplished gradually and bS ciic oS'iAiioSiie Piol'Si e'SS N'ii- tained in it, which cause the little tumors and congested blood vessels to contract and the obstruction to the circulation to be re- moved.
 In view of the immense number of patent medicines on the market, it is a singular fact that the Pyramid is the only pile cure of note, the only one that is sold and recom-
 mended in every drug store in the United
 States.lOr
 The remedy is in suppository form, and
 far superior to any salve or ointment for
 convenience. It is applied at night and ab-
 sorbed into the sensitive rectal membrane.
 acting both as a local and a constitutional
 treatment The treatment is effectual even
 in cases of many years standing

 Cure is sold by druggists everywhere at 30

 BADLY USED UP Transoort'S Shaft Broke and

 Point Comfort = Mayor
 Hutchins Hurt
CREW PUT ON HALF RATIONS

Norfolk, Va, February 24-The United States transport McPherson now lies off Old Point helpless as the result of a broken shaft, sustained four days out of San Juan Porto Rico. The story of the voyage, and the mishap of the transport were gleaned tonight from ex-Assistant Quar,ermaster c. E. Norton and Lieutenant Macklin.
 When several days out of San Juan the McPherson encountered very heavy weather and on the night of the Fist her main shaft broke and left her helpless Dis tress signals were flown each day, and at night her searchlsght was elevated to the top, to get the possible range, and distress signals were constantly made. After four days the fruit steamer Admiral Sampson. bound from Jamaica, saw the McPherson, steamed up and took her in tow and drop ped her off Old Point Comfort this morning about 8 o'clock. The M1Pherson now lies off the fort and it is understood that she will probably not be repaired here, but will go to New York in tow.
 Major Hutchins, who is in command of the McPherson, was severely injured during the storm by being thrown against a deck house.
 During the storm after great difficulty four of the sailors succeeded in flashing the propeller so it would not turn and bolt the rudder post. A leg of mutton sail was rig ged and this gave progress enough to per init steering. On Thursday an unknown Ward liner came along and remained by the McPherson for three hours, then con- cluded the latter could get into port without assistance and steamed away. While the disabled transport was drifting along those on board, numbering in all 16S persons, were put on half rations.
