In ordinary medical practice piles
are removed by severe surgical
operation, performed under the in
huence of ether or chloroiorm. The
pile tumors are either cut out with
the knife or scissors, or crushed with
clamps, burned off with red-hot irons
or the galvano cautery, destroyed by
dangerous caustiCs or strangulated
by ligatures and allowed to rot off.
Alter any of these barbarous
operations the patient has to stay in
bed for weeks and months, suffering
agonizing pain, while life is impcril-
ed and sometimes lost from the dan
gers of blood poisoning.
The result of these operations is
usually disappointing, and a perma-
nent cure is scarcely ever effected.
In some cases the existing trouble is
greatly aggravated, for in all these
operations healthy tissue is often de-
stroyed and large and ugly wounds
and sores are made, which are very
difficult to heal in these parts, and
often lead to a condition far worse
than the orr ginal trouble, ending in
incurable lifelong misery and dis
tress
With DR. Lighthill's method of
treatment, the conditions are radi-
cally different. His practice is
revelation and a revolution in medi-
cal science, and his brilliant success
is attracting universal attention. His
treatment is entirely free from dan
ger, risk, suffering or failure, and no
anaesthetic of any kind is required.
The application is made in few sec
onds and is scarcely felt, so that the
most tinld and nervous person can
submit to treatment without fear of
being hurt. The patient can leave
the office in comfort and is not de-
tanned from business or pleasure dur
ing the entire course of treatment,
and in few weeks radical and per-
manent cure is the inevitable and I'M
failing result in each and every case,
no matter how desperate the condi
tons may be.
By his special and original method,
DR.. Lighthill has treated thousands
of cases without single failure, and
he can furnish the most abundant
and convincing evidence OF the
highest character in proof of this
assertion.
DR.. Lighthill's treatment OF fstu-
las is fully as successful as his treat
ment of piles, requiring no formld-
able operation, no confinement to
bed and no anaesthetic. The treat
ment is practically free from pain
and the patient is not confined to
bed, but is up and about and can
attend to his daily duties during the
entire period of treatment, while
radical and permanent cure is the
guaranteed result
In all cases of fistula vitality is re-
duced and symptoms Of blood poi
soning show themselves on account
of the constant absorption of poison
Gus material into the circulation. AS
soon as treatment is commenced
there is usually healthy reaction as
the impaired circulation attains its
normal condition and the infection of
the blood is stopped. There is al
ways gain of health and strength
which is certainly not the case in
hospital practice.
The testimony of his patients will
show that Dr. Lighthill has often
been completely successful in cases
where the best surgical skill in pri-
vate practice and in hospitals had
signally failed.

IGNALIhG AT NIGHT
THE WEATHER BUREAU PERFECT
as
ING 4 SYSTEM.
SailOrmen on the Sea and the Lakes to
zt#s
BE Warned of Impending
stoSms.
StOTIns.

The weather bureau has concluded the
series of experiments with signal lights
which it has been conducting in the tower
of the post office building. The weather
men, under Prof. Charles Marvin, the chief
of the instrument division, have been hard
at work to perfect a system of signaling out
to sea. They want to warn sailormen of
impending storms. and the only way to do
it of nights is by means of beacon lamps.
Electricity Is used wherever 1t can be had,
put at many points on the coast 1t cannot
be secured. In such cases oil must be used.
In the past there had been much trouble in
getting oil lamps of sufficient power to
reach far out to sea. Lately Mr.. Marvin
has been experimenting with a number of
new models. In order to test their praci-
cal merits they were placed in the tower of
the postal building. The experiments
showed that lamps fitted with American
pressed glass lenses were almost as good as
those with French lenses costing five times
as much. The Yankee type therefore will
be adopted.
Having settled upon a good oil lantern,
the weather people will soon establish
system of beacon lights, stretching along
the Atlantic coast and the great lakes, like
street lamps on city thorOughfare.
Erection of Sixty Tall Towers.
During the past summer sixty new steel
towers have been erected along the coast,
and these will be nearly doubled in num-
Der. From each tower which is situated
on the loftiest point along the shore, the
weather bureau people at night will send
a signal out to sea. showing what sort of
weather the sailors may expect. The
beacons will give warming of approaching
storms and advise the captains when to
seek a friendly harbor. The service will
be especially valuable to the small coasting
craft that cannot weather heavy storms.
Each tower will be cared for by an agent
of the bureau, who will receive Geographic
instructions from the nearest weather sta
ton.
Long Row of Lights.
The service will be an addition to the
smaller system already maintained IN many
ports where advice of impending weather
is given by means of signals. The new
method of signaling from the lofty steel
towers will far surpass all that has here
tofore been done. AS each beacon will be
visible about twelve miles in any direction
the lights from 100 of them, which Is the
proposed number, would give continuous
series of warnings visible for nearly 2,oto
miles along the seacOast.

Flavor of EGGS.

Some years ago the New York Cornell
station, in studying the effect Of nitro
genous against carbonaceous food for poul
try reported observations on the effect of
the different rations on the flavor Of eggs.
One lot of fowls was fed a mixture of
wheat shorts, cotton seed meal and skim
milk; another lot cracked corn and corn
dough The former ration contained much
more nitrogen than the latter. The hens
fed corn laid fewer eggs than those fed
the heterogeneous ration, but the eggs were
larger. The eggs produced by the nitro
genous ration were of disagreeable flavor
and smell, had small yolk and did not
keep well. The flesh of the poultry fed
this ration, however. was darker. more
succulent and tender than that of the fowls
fed the carbonaceous ration.
These experiments also show that the
food has a marked effect on the flavor of
eggs The general experience of poultry
raisers is that heterogeneous rations are more
profitable to feed since they produce a
larger number of eggs. In view of the fact
that such ration, if too rich in nitrogen,
may produce eggs of unpleasant favor, 1t
would seem advisable to, note the effect of
any ration fed upon favor and modify II
II the eggs are found to be inferior in this
respect.

as it is believed congress will su-

in the office of the Dispatch ready t
serve delinquent subscribers, who
want to settle their account and tC
receive the names and money of new
ones.
Daring our trip We were glad tc
note many evidences of improvement
both on the farm and in the resi-.
dences of the people. Ia nearly
every section a large acreage OF
small grain has been planted, which
looks fine and promises an abundant
harvest. Live stock, as rule, has
been greatly improved and the sheep
and hcg industry has received more
and better attention. Much new
ground has been opened, the larger
portion of which will be planted in
cotton, the acreage of which will be
materially reduced. There seems to
be a determination on the part OF
the planters to first make all the
supplies needed on the farm and
make the cotton crop surplus
or money one, by this means the
Planters will live at home and board
at the same place and the end of the
year will find them further out CT
debt ard freer from hamperiDg en-
cumberances than they have ever
been before. The signs OF a pros.
porous and happy year are bright
before US and unless some unfore-
seen misfortune overtakes our farm
ing interest, these signs will bloom
into a pleasant reality and every one
can celebrate next Christmas with
turkey and trimmings and out OF
the fullness of an abundant harvest
return hearty thanks to him, who is
the giver of every good and perfect
gift.
Everywhere We went we met with
a kindly and warm reception from
our people and we enjoyed immense
ly the privilege of sharing the hospi.
tality Of their homes with them,
which was extended to US with an
unstinted and unreserved hand. We
are glad, that we took the trip, not
withstanding its drawbacks, discom-
forts and barc-lip caused by the
cold and disagreeable weather which
we encountered the greater portion
of our trip, as We came in closer and
more intimate touch with our people
and are placed in better post on to
understand their necessities and ap-
preciate their circumstances which
will be useful to Us in the discussion
of many questions affecting their ma
terial progress.
