treat 1t as a purely local disease; thiS
is the reason why salves and ointmcnts
have so little effect and the widespread
success of the Pyramid Pile Cure has
demonstrated it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a salve

which is applied at night. absorbed into
the sensitive rectal membrane and acts
both as a local and constitutional treat

cures.
Many pile sufferers who have undergone
surgical operations without relief or cure
have been surprised by results from a
few weeks treatment with the Pyramid
suppository.
The relief from pain is so immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that the
Pyramid contains opiates or cocaine, but
such is not the case, it is guaranteed abb
solutely free from any injurious drug.
The cure is the result of the healing
oils and astringent properties of the rem

"a rather curious result came recently
from some parallel Investigations about
the nitrification of soils, pursued by the
experiment station in North Carolina,
and by Profs. Jenkins and Britton, at
New Haven" said Prof. w. A. Withers,
of Raleigh, yesterday at the Ebbitt. 1--WE
were investigating especially the rapidity
of the formation of nitrates in the soil,
and concluded that the following fertli
GERS showed most rapid nitrification: Dried
blood cottonseed meal, dried fish, tank
age, bat guano, bone and ammonia sui
plate in the order mentioned. After
three weeks we found that one third of
the nitrogen in the dried blood had been
converted into nitrates. The New Ha-
ven Investigators arrived at the same
conclusion as we did, except as to the
ammonia sulphate. We placed that last
on the list and they placed it first. Sub
sequently we repeated our experiments
to determine whether we had erred but
arrived at the same results as before
Another investigator also reached the
same conclusion
Prof Withers says there is a lively
interest at present in educational matters
in North Carolina. 1.-THE Presbyterians,
who have been holding con-
,vention in Raleigh voted to raise
100000 for educational purposes in
the State, which is large sum
for North Carolina. There is likewise
great activity among other denominations
in the State along the same lines, all Of
which speaks well for the future of educa
tion there. The institutions of learning
in North Carolina generally have very
large patronage this year, the number
of students exceeding all recent records"
There are three other North CAROLYN
ians, Prof. Withers says, attending the
convention of chemists here B. w. Kill
gore. of the State Agricultural College;
DR.. G. S. Traps, and c. B. Williams, of
Raleigh.
