CRUEL METHODS
or TREATING PILES AND RECTAL DISEASED

OF TREATING PILES AND RECTAL DIsEAsEs
The old method Of treating piles by the knife, by
ueature di1atation besides causing Intense pain
and frequently collapse and eath, are now known
to be vorse than useless far actually curing
the trouble is concerned
Derangement of the Liver and other Internal or
gans, as well constipation, often cause piles
and 1t Ia a mistake to treat 1t as q purely local
disease; this is the why salves and oint-
ments have 50 little effect. and the widespread
success of the Pyramid Pile Cure has demon
strated 1t.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a sa1ve nor oint-
ment, but Is In suppository FORM which is applied
at night. absorbed into the sensitive rectal MEM
brane and acts both local and constitutional
treatment, and in cases Of many years standing
has made thousands Of permanent cures.
Many pile sufferers who have undergone surgical
operations without relief or cure have been sur
the Pyramid suDnository.
tients sometimes imagine that the Pyramid con-
tains opates or cocaine but such is not the case;
1t Is guaranteed absolutely free from any INJURIOUS
drug.
The cure is the result Of the healing oils and
astrfgent properties Of the remedy which cause
the little tumors and congested blood vessels to
tract and natural circulation is established.
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile Cure at 30
cents for full sized package.

Has Long Done Service on a Rural
Church In Missouri.
From the Kansas City Journal
Ihere hangs in the belfry of the little
Christian Church in the town of Savannah.
IN Andrew county, in this state, a bell
which has an interesting history. In 1852
forty-eight years ago-there occurred at
Lexington the most disastrous accident
which ever befell a steamboat on the Mis-
souri, river. one attended with the greatest
loss of human life.
Inc Saluda, a side-wheel steamer, with
battery OF two boilers, was on her way
up the river with a cargo of general mer-
cnandlse, and her cabin and lower deck
crowded with passengers. the most of whom
were Mormons. The river was unusually
nigh, and the current, as it came around
the point just above the town, was strong.
To add to the difficulties the river was full
OF floating ice, which had broken loose rom
a gorge higher up.
Captain Francis T. Belt, commander of
the boat. had made repeated efforts to stem
the rapid current but had as often failed,
AT last, on the morning of April g. after
waiting several days for the flood to SUBJ
SIDE, ne again ordered steam to be raised
1or a final effort. He went to the engine
room, looked at the steam gauge and
asked the engineer how many more pounds
OF steam she could stand. On being an
swered that she had already every pound
that she could safely carry he gave the
command, Fill her up, put on more steam"
and remarked to the engineer, with an
oath, that he would round the point or blow
her up
He retired to the hurricane roof, rang
the bell, and gave the final command to
cast loose the lines" The bow of the
boat turned gently out into the stream, as
1t was caught by the current. The engines
made but one revolution. Then came the
terrible explos1on-and all was chaos dark
ness and death The number Of those who
lost their lives by the explosion was never
known. About 100 bodies were recovered,
and 1t was supposed that there were as
many more victims whose bodies were never
found.
Nearly all the officers of the boat were
killed. among them Captain Belt; the clerk,
Joseph Blackburn; the two pilots, Charles
La Barge and Lewis Garrett, both Of whom
Josiah Cheney, who was on watch at the
time. Captain Belt was at his post on the
hurricane roof, standing with his hand rest
ing on the bell, when the crash came. He
was blown high up in the air and his body
when found was broken, mangled mass of
flesh and bones
The bell, which had just sounded the
death knell Of so many unfortunate ones.
was blown high up on the bank. where 1t
was found uninjured 1t was bought with
what remained Of the wreck, by old Casper
GIuber, who afterward sold 1t to the Chris
tian Church at Savannah, and for nearly
half a century 1t has hung in the belfry
there

Account of a Visit to Russia's Famous

to spend several hours there. and to exam

many Of wood, and all old and in need OF
repair. These are surrounded by paIisade
Of great posts twenty feet high, with point
ed ends. I went into every part Of the
prison that could see, including the hos
pital, the workshops, the laundry and the
kitchens, and visited every one of the large
rooms and almost every cell. In all these
I saw but two things to find fault with
the practice Of herding together criminals
of all ages, tried and untried, and the long
time-in some cases amounting to two years
which many of the prisoners spend there
before their cases are finally Judged. This
latter evil Is caused partly by the great
difficulty Of collecting evidence from many
parts Of Siberia, but chiefly because the
central authorities do not supply mag1s-
trates enough to cope with the numbers of
those arrested. An additional difficulty is
the variety Of languages spoken by the
criminals themselves. Three times during
my visit was the governor, who accom-
panied me most of the time. obliged to send
to another part Of the prison for a prisoner
to interpret a request made to him as we
passed. The prison is supposed to hold
only 700 criminals, but 1t contained 1,O24
men on the day Of my visit. II women and
10 children accompanying their mothers.
OF these no fewer than 621 were awaiting
trial, 1873 were condemned for definite peri
DDS not exceeding three years. which they
will serve In this prison, and 288 were Sin

amount of protein) only one-fourth as much
fat and six or seven times as much carbo-
hydrates. Indeed, Its high starch content
explains why chestnuts are so little eaten
raw.
Peanuts have fuel value Of only. ninety
six caiories for each 0.o1 pound Of pro-
tein, and hence have relative excess OF
protein. This Is so unlike other vegetable
foods, with the exception of the near reL.-
tives Of the peanut as peas and beans that
It is of great Importance.
In this country nuts will (probably) never
to any great extent replace the cereal
foods as is the case in some sections OF
the old world. Not only would the original
cost prevent, but the labor involved In sheii,
ing and preparing nuts for the table would
prove serious obstacle to their extenoeo
Variety of Uses.
While nut meats are generally eaten
without any previous preparations, they
may be used in a variety of ways Chopped
nut meats are much relished for sand
witches, and nut salads are not uncommon.
The use of nuts in cakes. confectionery,
creams, etc, has already been alluded to.
Many attempts have been made to prepare
nut foods and to extend their use in various
ways. Peanut butter, as 1t Is called, is
marketed to a considerable extent. This Is
said to consist of the kernels ground, with
OF without the addition of a small proper
ton of water.
The nuts, particularly the peanut and
chestnut. afford interesting opportunities
for the housewife skilled in adding to the
list of good things Attention has been
called to the fact that nuts form a very
concentrated food They should therefore
be eaten with more bulky foods. and, ex-
cept in the case Of the peanut with those
richer in protein.
There are no reliable data regarding the
digestibility of nuts. The belief in their
indigestibility seems to be widespread and
perhaps has some basis in fact. 1t is quite
probable that If the nuts were properly
prepared and eaten at proper times much
of this prejudice would disappear. Our
present practice OF munching them at odd
hours or as dessert when sufficient food
has been taken to meet the requirements of
the body, overtaxes the digestive organs
and places the nut under reproach that
Is. at least in part, undeserved.
There is a widespread belief that salt aids
In the digestibility of nuts, and experience
seems to bear out this opinion.
