A Common Case of PiIes-It may
Lead to Serious Results.
(From the Sydney Herald.)
When people generally understand
that all such fatal diseases as fistula,
ulcer Of the rectum, assure, ETC.. al
most invariably begin in simple case
Of piles, they will learn the wisdom Of
taking prompt treatment for the first
appearance of trouble in this quarter.
Doan's Ointment will certainly cure
every form of piles = itching,
bleeding, protruding, or blind piles
and hundreds Of lives have been saved
by using this cheap, effective remedy
right at the start, because at such q
time single pot will effect a cure.
while in the old chronic, deep seated
cases, several pots are sometimes nee
essary before lasting cure is effected.
Here is case:
Mr.. William Gilliver, of the we'll
known firm of Gilliver & Curtis, rail-
way and general contractors, and
whose private address is "Avoca,"
Bankstown, has written the following
unsolicited letter, which we herewith

bought pot and did not use more
than one-half Of II, not six months
ago, and am perfectly cured. You
may use this as you wish.
Yours gratefully,
WILLIAM GILLIVER.
1t cannot be repeated too often that
Doan's Ointment will cure itching
piles. 1T WILL CURE THEM ALSO.
LUTELY. But do not take the manu-.
facturer's word for this; ask or write
Mr.. Gilliver; he knows, for it curet
him, and he lives in Bankstown, SUI
: burb IL miles from Sydney. Is not tha
/ the best possible kind Of pI oof? CoulC

Theye are the water tank steamer Are
thusa and the colliers Pompeii and Leoni-

acknowledged and now she is being out

dition TO start for the Orient in little

turn TO her natural calling as wafer car

them any repairs that may be needed. As
yet no orders relative to their time of de-
parture have been received from Washing

Truths scheme is said to have been
a modification of the Schroeder system.
save that the latter was a fanatic who
may have believed himself endowed with
miraculous power, while Truth has plead
ed guilty to getting mOrey under false pre-
tences. His remarkable success is another
instance OF human credulity. Truth start
ed in by advertising himself as a divine
healer" whatever that might be- and he
declared himself capable of curing any
disease to which flesh is heir. The pres
ence or the absence Of the patient was all
the same to the healer"
Indeed. the divine power was supposed
TO flow freely TO any sufferer in the uni
verse when Truth turned on the tap. He
preferred giving the absent treatment,
as he was then unannoyed by the presence
Of his dupes. The on.y requirements which
he made were that the sufferers should pay
him his fees and put trust in his power. =
The Inducements presented to the patient
showing the powers Of the Divine Healer, %
consisted of number Of testimonials from
persons alleged TO have been cured, and
descriptions of the remarkable cures ef-
ffected. What was called the Museum
was pictured in some Of his advertisements.
IL showed an array Of cTutches. canes, beds,
and all manner Of apparatus used by the
sick and infirm- Each article was supposed
to have a history Of its ewn.
After the patient lad read the advertise
ments and testimonials and had sent his
money. the usual directions given him TO
follow consisted OF a few simple rules Of
health. which should Be observed by sick
or Wen alike. The specific instruction wa ;
TO put himself in accord with the ''hea err
at q certain hour each Cay. When the heal
err would devote fifteen minutes to such
patient The business became so great
that Truth was compelled 20 turn the nat
ter over TO a large corps Of typewriters in
his employ, by whom the larger amount Of
the correspondence was conducted. T. nth

had been thrown this morning on the mys-
terry surrounding the suicide in the Presby-

liam H Dodd, drank carOolic acid in Chief
Clerk StohlTnen's Office The hospital au-
thcrities had learned nothing more from
Dodd except that he had said that the
woman was Nellie o. Blair. Of 1859 Caroline
Street, st. Louis; that she was infatuated
with him, and had lost a good position fol-
lowing him around the country.
Dodd had not been appraised Of the woun-
ans act this morning, but il was intended
to inform him today if his condition war
ranted il.
Dodd's statement regarding the identif-
cation OF the woman was apparently borne
out by a telegram which was received at
the hospital in response to one sent to the
st. Louis address.
The telegram was as follows: Hold re-
mains Of Nellie o. Blair until further in

SOUTH BETHLEHEM, Pa, July 2s-
The Bethlehem Steel Company last night
received word that it had been awarded 3
contract by the Russian Government for
2,0oO tons Of Krupp armor.
The armor Will be used on the three new

give out price a ton to be paid for this
ssmcr. it is said to be considerably above

ed 10 the United States Government. The
contract requires that the armor be De-
livered in fifteen months.
The armor for the Russian battIeshfp

competed for tie contract. II is said that
the Carnegie Steel Company received a
similar order. ~
