HAS NO COMPETITOR.
One Patent Medicine Which Has the
Field to Itself

prominent physician was recently
asked why it was there are so many
blood purifiers, nerve tonics." and med
lclnes for every i'll except one of the most
common and annoying diseases, viz, piles.
lie replied: There are two principal rea
sons: First. physicians and people in gem
eral have thought for years that the only
permanent cure for piles was a surgical
operation. and that medicinal preparations
were simply palliative and not cure for
the trouble
Another reason is that piles, unlike
many other diseases. is in no sense an
imaginary trouble. 4 sufferer from piles
Is very much aware of the fact, and for
this reason the few pile salves and oint-
ments, etc, have been short lived because
the patient very soon discovered their
worthlessness.
He continues: However, there is new
pile remedy which, judging from its popu
larity and extent of its sale, will soon take
the place of all other treatments for piles
1t has certainly made thousands Of cures
in this obstinate disease and its merit. re-
peatedly tested. has made it famous among
physicians and wherever introduced. The
remedy is sold by druggists everywhere

healing oils, gives immediate relief in all
forms Of piles, and a radical cure without

reference with daily occupation.
One strong recommendation for the rem
edy is that it contains no cocaine nor opium
and is absolutely safe to use at any time.
One of the suppositories is applied at

and painless.
1t permanently cures itching, bleeding,
or protruding piles and is the only remedy
except dangerous surgical operation that
will do so.
All druggists sell a complete treatment
of the suppositories for SO cents. and the
Pyramid Drug Company, OF Marshall,
Mich, will mail free to any address a little
book on cause and cure OF piles which may
be of assistance in chronic cases.

upon at largely attended meeting held in
the rear of The Times Building last night

cided to rent house, the expenses of the
venture to be paid for exclusively by the
money given by the boys as dues. The
money donated by friends of the union
will be used as a sinking fund and held in
reserve for winter emergencies.
President Reese will try to select
suitable tIIdirg for the boys home and

will be held on Wednesday night of next
week In the mean time rules for the gov
erning of the home and plans for it's prac-
tical management will be formulated and
submitted to the union for approval 1t
is particularly desired to get the home in
running order before the cold weather
comes, as many of the boys viii find it
necessary to make use of its comforts. 1t
is the intention Of President Reese to fur
nish the boys with only the necessary
comforts at first. In short time he
hopes. however, to be able to provide a
gymnasium, reading room, and other at
