GRADE CROSSING BILL.
Consideration by the House nj This
Session Unlikely.

1t is believed that the bills respecting
steam railroad grade crossings in the Dis
trict of Columbia will not be considered
by the House of Representatives at this
session. Mr. Babcock, Chairman Of the
House District Committee. said yesterday:
The bills are so long and of such i'm
portance that considerable time would be
required to consider them, and ] do not
see how We could get through with them
in time to give the House opportunity to
act before final adjournment. especially as
the latter part of the session will be occu-
pied with appropriation bills and confer
pnrp reDorts."

DISCARDED.
The Old Method Of Treating Piles and
and Rectal Diseases Supplanted
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

The old methods Of treating piles by
ligature, by the knife or by the cruel
methods Of dilatation, besides causing
Intense pain and frequently collapse
and death, are now known to he but
mere makeshifts as far as a cure is
concerned.
The liver Is responsible for nearly
every case Of piles and the mistake
has been made Of treating piles as q
purely local disease. Such is not the
case, however, and the success of the
new treatment kn>>'n as the Pyramid
Pile Cure has demonstrated It,
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not
salve or ointment, but a suppository
which is applied at night and absorbed
into the sensitive rectal membrane
and acts both as local and consti-
tutional treatment, and in cases Of
many years standing this treatment
has been effectual.
Thousands of pile sufferers bear
witness to the estimable value Of the
undergone surgical operations without
a cure have been happily surprised
by results from few weeks' treat
ment with the Pyramid.
The relief from pain is so immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that
the Pyramid contains opiates or CO.
caine because the relief is so instan-
taneous, but the Pyramid Pile Cure
is guaranteed absolutely free from any
opiate or mineral poison whatever.
The relief is the result of the as.
tringent properties of the remedy which
causes the little tumors and congestcd
blood vessels TO contract and normal
circulation is established.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly
scientific, both in its composition and
in its therapeutic action and the best
feature Of it Is that it is perfectly safe
and harmless. No i'll effects ever re-
suit from it's use, but only positive
benefit.
A singular fact, in view Of the large
number of patent medicines, before
the public is that the Pyramid is the
only pile cure of national reputation.
1t is the only pile cure popular ensusil
and meritorious enough to be found In,
every drug store in the United States.
1t sells at 80 cents a package.
