The practice of utilizing the gases OF
blast furnaces. recently initiated in Eu-
rope. is already engaging the attention.
OF American furnace owners. When
iron is being purified il is heated with
coal or coke. in a huge furnace. Par;
of the constituents of the fuel combine
with the oxygen of the ore, and thus re-
duce the oxide. Among the products
which escape from the chimney in large
quantities is a eombustible gas. This
gas. however is of poor quality, beine
largely charged with dust, which has
hitherto told against its use for fuel in
coke ovens. To get rid of this dust vari-
ons means have been employed. Some
establishments which use the blast
furnace gas resort To apparatus corr
monty employed in producer gas works
such AS coke scrnbbers," and cleaning
boxes filled with breeze" Other man.
ufacturers add to these devices water

claims that the gas can he used foi

One Patent Medicine Which Has the
Field to Itself.

Field to Itself.
A prominent physician was recently ask
ed why it was there are so many blood
purifiers, nerve tonics" and medicines
for every ill except one Of the most COM
mon and annoying diseases, viz, piles
lie replied: There are two principal
reasons: First, physicians and people In
general have thought for years that the
only permanent cure for piles was sur
gical operation. and that medicinal prep
Rrations We're simply polIatives and not a
cure for the trouble
Another reason is that piles, unlike
many other diseases, is in no sense an
imaginary trouble. A sufferer from piles
Is very much aware of the fact, and for
this reason the few Pile salves and ONT
ments, etc, have been short lived, be-
cause the patient very soon discovered
their worthlessness
He continues: However there is q new
pile remedy which, Judging from its pop
ulaTlty and extent OF its sale, will soon
take the place Of ell other treatment
Tor plies. 1t has certainly made thou
sands OF cures IN this obstinate disease,
and its merit, repeatedly tested, has made
1t famous among physicians and wherever
introduced. The remedy is sold by drug
gists everywhere under name Of Pyra-
mid Pile Cure.
1t IS in convenient. suppository form,
healing oils, gives immediate relief in all
forms of piles and a radical cure without
resort to the knife and without pain or
Interference with daily occupation.
One strong recommendation for the
remedy is that 1t contains ne cocaine nor
opium. and is absolutely safe to use at
any time
One of the Huppesiteries Is applied at
night, is absorbed, and the cure is natural
and painless.
It permanently cures itching bleeding
or pretrudi11g piles, and is the only rem
