The Old Methods of Treating Piles
and Rectal Diseases SuppIanted
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.


The old methods of treating piles by
ligature, by the knife, or by the cruel
methods of dilation, besides causing in
tense pain and frequently collapse and
death are now known to be 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 purely local
disease Such is not the case. however.
and the success of the new treatment
known as the Pyramid Pile Cure has de-
monstTated it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not saIve or
ointment. but suppository which is ap,
piled at night and absorbed into the sensi-
tive rectal membrane and acts both as a
local and a constitutional treatment and
in cases of many years standing this treat.
ment has been eftectual.
Thousands of pile sufferers bear witness
to the inestimable value of the Pyramid
and even those who have undergone surgi-
cal operations without a cure have been
happily surprised by results from a few
weeks treatment with the Pyramid
The relief from pain is so immediate that
patients sometimes imagine that the Pyra-
mid contains opiates or cocaine because the
relief is SO instantaneous, but the Pyramid
Pile Cure is guaranteed absolutely free
from any GniGte or mineral poison what
ever.
The relief is the result of the astringent
properties of the remedy which causes the
little tuners and congested blood vessels
to contract and normal circulation is es-
tablished.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly scien-
tific. both in its composition and in its
therapeutic action, aud the best. feature OF
it is that it is perfectly safe and harm
less. No ill effects ever result from its
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 enough and meritorious
enough to be found in every drug store in
the United States. 1t sells at so cents a
package.

WOODSTOCK. Ontario, March 1.-THE
Decker counterfeiting case on trial here
before Judge Finkle was brought TO a close
yesterday by Anthony Decker being found
guilty On three inducements and the other
three prisoners. Robert Nurnberger Paul
Decker and Hans Kuntz. agreeing to plead
guilty
Il was evidently compromise between
the prosecution and the defence in the
Nurnberger case. L. r. B. Johnston, the
prosecuting attorney, in moving for SEN

there were others Connected with the coun-
terfeiting enterprise who were above
Nurnberger. the Montreal saloonkeeper it
would serve the best interest of the pub
lie to allow him Il go on suspended SEN
tence on the condition that he gave inf0r-
nation OF the others connected with the
counterfeiting.
The prosecution proposed 10 investigate
the plot further. as there was no doubt it
was much larger than at present appeared
As for Hans Kuntz MIR. Johnston said that
il was quite apparent that he had been
led into the thing by others and was not
a leading spirit. Therefore he would plead
leniency for him. As for the Deckers. the
Judge would have TO use his own discre-
tion. There was 10 doubt they were the
real culprits of the four. and this class OF
crime had TO be stamped out.
Judge Finkle did as requested in Nurn-
berger's case and sentenced Anthony Deck
er and Paul Decker TO five years each in
Kingston penitentiary and Hans Kuntz to
fifteen months in the Central prison at To-
ronto.
The prisoners took their sentences COIL

Stamp Tax is not Needed Should
be Repealed by all Means.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
a vigorous movement ismade by
the Chicago Tribune in favor of
having this Congress repeal that
portion of the war revenue act
which imposes the stamp taxes.
The stamp taxes are tax on bust
ness transactions. -Four years ago
the representation was common
that the income tax was tax on
business activity. 1t was rather a
tax on prosperity. But the stamp
taxes are taxes on the transactions
where they are imposed, whether
they are profitable or not.
1t is estimated that of the sur
plus of S42,OOO,0OO for the past
eight and half months about $28.-
100000 comes from the stamps re-
CURED on documents and proprie-
tary merchandise. The deduction
is that the taxation is unnecessary,
stree without it there will still be a
surplus, and that the vexatious ma
ture of this particular tax calls for
it's abolition.
There is another reason hardly
less cogent If the surplus could be
applied to the reduction of interest
bearing debt there would be some
excuse for keeping up the taxation
to produce it. But the financial
act Just enacted decides that there
shall be no retirement of the bonds
for the next twenty-five years.
Therefore, the accumulation of a
surplus can have no purpose except
to offer a premium on the activity
of Treasury raiders, in urging their
various schemes to dispose of the
surplus and relieve the stringency
in the money market as we'll as in
their pockets. Certainly business
ought not to be taxed for the ex-
press benefit of the surplus
spenders.

The reports from the Philippines
which Gen. Otis censorship per-
mits to reach this country are not
encouraging of happy solution of
the problem of the control of those
islands, even after the work of sub
iugation is finished. 1t begins to
look, indeed, as if subjugation will
not mean peace for the United
States any more than itmeant that
for Spain.
The reports of reorganization of
the armed forces of the natives may
not have great military impor-
lance. Gen. Otis can doubtless
scatter their organizations as fast
as he can reach them. But after
they are scattered they will reor-
game again. The failure of the
well-intended attempts to place ma
tive governors at the head of mu-
inequalities, caused by the usual
betrayal of the trust thus reposed
in them and the alliance of the
Mayors and Governors with their
kindred in opposition to the Amer
lean troops, is not fatal. Others
can doubtless be found to take their
places and repeat the experiment.
But the disheartening feature of
the situation is the evidence, which
appears on all sides, of universal,
bitter, persistent hostility to Amer
loan rule. 1t has yet to appear that
organized opposition to our army
has ceased, as Gen. Otis reported it
to have ceased before the meeting
of Congress in December, and as
he reiterated month ago. But
when it does cease, there is an APP
parent intention of keeping up the
guerilla warfare which has already
begun, and which may last another
300 years as it lasted for Spain.
