STRICTLY SCIENTIFIC
Only One Pile Cure Which Gan be Con
 sidered Such

The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly sciend- fic both in its composition and in it's thera- peutc action, and the best feature is that it is perfectly harmless. No i'll effects ever result from its use.
 The cure Is accomplished painlessly by the astringent properties and healing olis contained in it, which cause the little tu- mors and congested blood vessels to con- tract and the obstruction to the circulation to be removed.
 The Pyramid Pile Cure is in suppostory form and far superior to any salVe or oirt- ment for convenience.
 It Is applied at night and absorbed into the sensitive rectal membrane, acting both as a local and constitutional treatment.
 One 50 cent box of the Pyramid has off, ten been effectual, even in cases of many years standing.
 Relief from pain and itching Is so imme diate that patients sometimes imagine that the remedy must contain some form Of co- caine or opium, but careful analysis shows 1t to contain no cocaine, anaesthetfa or injurious drug of any kind. It Is guar anteed free from any deleterious substance.
 The ligature treatment, the knife or the still more cruel treatmentby dilatation be- sides causing intense pain and sometimes collapse and death, are now known to nave little value as far as a permanent cure Is concerned.
 Thousands of pile sufferers bear witneee to the value of the Pyramid Pile Cure, and even in cases where a dangerous surgical operation has failed to cure surprising re- suits have been obtained from this remedy after a weeks use.
 A complete treatment of the Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold by druggists everywhere at fifty cents.
 The Pyramid Drug Co.,, of Marshall, Mich, will mail to any address little book cured patients from all parts of the United States.

SPEARS AND GROVE
 SPEAK AT GADSDEN
Populists and Republicans Advised to Use Force If They Suspected Any
 "Monkey Business"

Gadsden, October 2-(SpeciaL)-Spears, the fusion candidate for Congress for the Seventh District, and Dr. G. B. Grove of Birmingham spoke here today to an au- dience of about one hundred Republicans and Populists and about twenty-five Demo- crats The Democrats attended to hear what the speakers had to say in explanation of the Spears famous negro letter. Grove told of the alleged "black belt' methods of the organized Democracy" and Spears of his wonderful efforts to save the negro and the "hill bilhes" from disfranchise- ment.
 Populists and Republicans were advised to go to the polls on November and see to it that the votes were counted fairly and advised to force If they suspected any monkey business, either at the ballot box or by the canvassing board Spears de- clared for high protective tariff, imperial ism and endorsed the administration of Mckinley.
 He declared that Mckinley and his ad- ministration had brought prosperity to the country, while the Democrats when In power hrough starvation and ruin, and de- clared the election of Bryan would bring upon the country the same hard times the country experienced under Cleveland. Grove said he would vote for Barker and Donnally but that his vote would be cast for Mckinley except for the candidacy of the Middle of the Road Populist.
 He said he hoped Bryan would be defeat- ed by a popular majority of 100000 votes. Spears declared if elected he would vote with the Republicans to reduce the repre- sentaton in Congress of North and South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi, and admitted that he wrote the negro letter and endorsed it. He advised the negroes and Populists present never again to vote for a Democrat, and declared that any man who would vote to disfranchise negro or white man should be shot or hung like

An Institution of Value to Brookings
from most any Stand
point.
Has been in Active Operation Since
the Fifteenth Day of
August.

The engraving here presented is a
good picture OF one OF the new enter.
prises established in Brookings this
season, one that Is destined to become
OF considerable importance as the
years roll by. The institution was
opened the 18th Of August and has
since discharged twelve patients who
have been entirely cured OF the dis
eases with which they entered the
hospital. Three are still under treat
ment.
Situated at the corner of Brookings
and Pierce streets, in one OF the most
pleasant locations in the city, will be
found this building which, during the
spring months, was converted from a
church edifice into hospital. The
surroundings are beautiful and 1t
would be a hard matter to select a
site more convenient or accessible.
As will be seen by the engraving, a
wide veranda runs across the front
of the building, which faces to the
south, looking upon school house park.
1t stands three stories high and is a
model of neatness and convenience.
On the first floor is nice large hall
from which access is gained to the
rooms above as well as the sitting
and dining room below. The sitting
room is large, pleasant and well

tire charge OF patients under the
direction Of the attending physicians.
Miss Smith has been brought here
from Minneapolis and is a graduate
from the training school for nurses,
ST. Mary's hospital, Of that city.
AS we have said before, the oper-
ating room is situated on the second
floor. 1t is a large, well lighted room,
provided with heavy glass topped
operating table and other modern ap-
pliances for performing surgical oper-
ations. We noticed that the tables,
stands, and other furniture of this
room were mostly of iron and glass, or
porcelain, rendering them durable,
easy to clean and of aseptic nature,
absolute aseptic conditions being
necessary In all operations OF that
character. Opening out Of this are
two small rooms, one used for storing
bandages, cloths, instruments and
other necessaries for use in the oper.
ating room. The other is called the
cleansing kitchen and is provided with
stove, boilers, steamers and other
paraphernalia used In cleansing BAN
dages, boiling and cleaning instru-

taken in the opei ating room.
Doctors Collier, Miller and Parsons,
of this city, are at the head Of this
institution which, of itself, is a guar
antee OF its permanency and success.
They are skillful, kind and obliging.
Patients who enter the hospital can
expect only the very best of treat
ment from them, not only In their
professional capacity, but as business
men and citizens. They have in
formed the REGISTER that, while
their Accommodations are at present
somewhat limited, they are prepared
to take all cases that may come to
them, and will enlarge the medical
and surgical staff as the occasion de-
mands All diseases will be treated
and all cases requiring difficult surgi-
cal operation will receive the same
skillful treatment afforded by hospi-
tails of a similar character anywhere
in the northwest.
