STRICTLY SCIENTIFIC.
Only One Pile Cure Which Can Be
Considered Such.

The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly sci
entific both in its composition and in its
therapeutic action. and the best fea-
ture is that it is perfectly harmless. No
Ill effects ever result from its use.
The cure is accomplished painIessly
by the astringent properties and healing
oils contained in it, which cause the lit
tie tumors and congested blood vessels
to contract and the obstruction to the
circulation to be removed
The Pyramid Pile Cure is in suppos-
tory form and far superior to any salve
or ointment for convenience
It is applied at night and absorbed
ing both as a local and a constitutional
treatment
One so cent box Of the Pyramid has
often been effectual, even in cases of
many years standing.
Relief from pain and itching is so inn
mediate that patients sometimes mag
inc that the remedy must contain some
form of cocaine or opium, but a careful
analysis shows it to contain no cocaine
anaesthetic or injurious drug of any
kind. 1t is guaranteed free from any
deleterious substance.
The Hgature treatment, the knife, or
the still more cruel treatment by dilata-
ton, besides causing intense pain and
sometimes collapse and death. are now
known to have little value as far as a
permanent cure is concerned
Thousands Of pile sufferers bear wit
ness to the value Of the Pyramid Pile
Cure and even in cases where a danger
Gus surgical operation has failed to cure
surprising results have been obtained
from this remedy after a weeks use.
A complete treatment of the Pyramid
Pile Cure is sold by druggists every
where at 50 cents
The Pyramid Drug Co., of Marshall,
Mich, will mail to any address a little
book on cause and cure of piles, and a
list Of cured patients from all parts Of
the United States.

CHAPTER XVIII.

The long wait for the coming of the
big transports with the regulars was
over. For the first time in history
America was sending her soldiery past
The pyramids and through the Indian
sea, landing them, oftor 40 days and
lights of yoyaging, upon the low, flat
shores that hem Manila bay, and SHOW
ng them out to the hostile front be-
fore their sea-legs sould reach the
swing and stride of the marching step;
yet, TO all appearance, as uneoncernedly
at home as thosgh they had been cam
paigning in the Philippines since the
date of their enlistment. This, 10 be
sure, in the case Of more than half
their number, would have given them
scant time in which To look about them,
since raw recruits were more numerous
than seasoned men. But no matter
what may be his lack of drill or prep
aration the average Anglo-Saxon never
seems 10 know the time when he doesn't
know how TO fight. So, with all the
easy assurance of a veteran, our Yankee
"Tommies" wriggled into their blanket
rolls and trudged away to the posts
