THE OLD METHOD
OF Treating Piles and Rectal Dis
eases Now Discarded.

Thousands Of sufferers bear witness
to the value of the Pyramid Pile Cure
and even in cases where dangerous
surgical operation has failed to cure,
surprising results have been obtained
from the new remedy after weeks
use.
Relief from pain Is so Immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that
the Pyramid Pile Cure must contain
some form of cocaine or opiate,
but careful analysis shows 1t to con-
tain no opiate, cocaine or any injurious
drug whatever, in fact 1t is guaranteed
absolutely free from any deleterious
substance.
The old methods Of treating piles by
ligature, knife or the still more cruel
treatment by dllatation, besides caus-
Ing intense pain and frequently col
lapse and death, are now known to
be practically useless as far as a per-
manent cure is concerned.
Nearly every case Of piles may be
traced to faulty action of the liver and
It Is mistake to treat the trouble en-
tirely by local applications Of salves
and ointments or by any kind Of oper-
alton. The new treatment by the Py-
ramid has clearly demonstrated its
superiority over all Of these.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly
scientific, both in its composition and
in its therapeutic action and the best
feature of 1t is that it is perfectly safe
and harmless. No i'll effects ever re-
suit from its use.
The cure is accomplished gradually
and painlessly by the astringent prop
critics contained in 1t, which cause the
little tumors and congested blood
vessels to contract and the obstruction
to the circulation TO be removed.
In view of the immense number of
patent medicines on the market, it Is
singular fact that the Pyramid is the
only pile cure Of note, the only one that
is sold and recommended in every drug
store in the United States.
The remedy Is in suppository form
and far superior to any salye or oint-
ment for convenience. 1t is applied
at night and absorbed into the sensi-
tive rectal membrane, acting both as
local and a constitutional treatment
The treatment is effectual even in cases
OF many years standing.
Complete treatment Of the Pyramid
Pile Cure is sold by druggists every
where at 80 cents and little book on
cause and cure of piles will be mailed
free by addressing Pyramid Drug Co.,
Marshall, Mich.

Who Have Tested It's Merits.
There is no doubt whatever as to the
merits of Morrow's Kid-ne-olds judg-
ing from the good results obtained
right here in this state. Morrow's Kid
ne-oids are used daily by many Ohio
citizens and they all testify without
any hcsltancy about the great good
they have received by the use of this
great kidney preparation. Kid-ne-oids
will positively cure kidney backache,
dizziness, sleeplcssness, nervousness
and all urinary disorders arising from
n disordered condition of the kidneys.
Another citizen adds his testimony as
follows:
L. NJ. Brady, 1425 East North ST.,
Canton, Ohio, says: II have suffered
for about three years with severe back
ache, also with nervousness. I think
my liver was torpid for l was bilious
and had spells OF dizziness. Morrow's s

mended SO highly for such troubles 1

Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but yellow tablets and sell at 80 cents

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
NEEDLES, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio. is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address

FUN MAKERS AT MILWAUKEE,.
Final Day of the Carnival Given Over
to Fancy COstumed individuals
who Make Merry.

Milwaukee, June 3O.-The last day
of the carnival was given over to the
carnival corso, when the fun makers
in fancy costumes had their usual
parade. The corso boundaries ex-
tended over Grand avenue and Wis
consin street to the extent of mile,
and there was no end to merry-mak-
ing throughout the day.
The parade of the funny fellows
moved in the afternoon, and consisted
of seven big divisions, interspersed
with all kinds of music and frolic.
Rex was the star and the only atom
OF dignity of the parade. There were
1900 paraaers in line, each having
striven to render himself more ludi-
crous than the other. Every club in
the city took prominent parts and
brought out some very handsome
floats. There was no end to confetti
throwing and the police had nothing
to do but look on, excepting where
rowdyism went beyond the limit.
The corso frolics extended through
out the afternoon.
The carnival came to close at night,
with a reception and ball at the Deutch-
err and Calumet clubs. About 5000 per-
soIs attended.

THE OREGON DISASTER.
Report That the Big Battleship was
Aground NeRr GhrfOo, GfiHs,
Is Confirmed.

Washington, July 2.--The navy de-
partment has received cabiegram
from Capt. Wilde, Of the Oregon, dated
Chefoo, Saturday confirming the report
that his ship is aground so miles from
Taku. The Iris and another relief
ship are now with the Oregon. The
point where the Oregon grounded is
so miles west-northwest of Chefoo.
Taku is $50 miles west of Pinnacle
rock, where she struck.
The following dispatches were re-
ceived at the navy department Satur-
day morning relative to the grounding
of the Oregon:
"Chefoo, June 29.--Secretary Navy: An
ehored yesterday dense fog in II fathoms,
three miles south of How Ke light, Gulf
of Pc Chi Ii. Sent out two boats and
sounded. Least water 5h fathoms
Weather clear. Got under way and
struck Pinnacle rock. Much water in for

Shall charter steamer If possible at Che
foo and tighten the ship. Rock through

frame 10. Small holes also through bot
tom of ship. WILDE"
'Hong-Kong, June 29--Secretary Navy,
Washington: Princeton arrived. BROOK
Ign leaves for Nagasaki. The Zafiro at
Chefoo has been sent to assist oregon re-
ported by Rogers on a rock south How
Ke light. Iris going to her assistance.
"REMEY."
Pinnacle rock, where the Oregon ran
aground, is about 25 feet high and
lies 2-3 miles south of Howki island,
and about ~ north-northeast of the
island of Siao Lu Shan. The rock is
encircled oy shoal and should not be
approached nearer than three cables.
Capt. Wilde's statement of the in
iuries sustained by the Oregon is
scarcely sufficient to enable the naval
constructors here to form a definite
opinion as to the prospects of saving
the famous ship. They say, however,
the ship probably can be saved, if the
weather does not become rough, but
unfortunately this is the season OF
storms in Chinese waters.
