COAKLEY CASE.
Theories Of Cause Of Death
Vary With Investigation.

IT has been decided by medical investi-
CATION that Nora Coalkley died OF Brights
disease. This malady could have been
caused or FASTENED by the caustic alxali
she took by mistake for citrate OF mag
nesia. Then IL remains 20 be seen whether
such was the case.

OF placing the responsibility for the mis-
take In the medicine
Medical Examiner Perkins says there Is
no reason for immediate haste, since the
evidence cannot spoil. and there are sew
cral points he wishes 10 clear up which
may be better determined a little later
The mother OF Miss CoalSley is very
feeble, and much wrought up over the
sad occurrences OF the past few days. and
Is hardly able as yet 10 talk much about
the case, and as she Is a very important
witness. the medical examiner will want
20 hear her story OF several important
features.
One circumstance which might very
materially affect the whole situation is
whether Mrs. Coakley took a dose Of the
same mtNiflnt ruploSeh 70 pe citrate oI
magnesia some few months before her
daughter as has been rumorcd.
Present appearances seem Ca warrant a
belief that the case will be reported 20
the coroner.
IL rests entirely with Medical Examiner
Perkins whether this is done. His report

NOT EPIDEMIC.
Many Cases Of Grip, but the
Death Rate Light.

While the epidemic OF grip has not
struck this city as ii has New York and
some other cities. nevertheless Providence
has had and still has its full share of the
troublesome disease
The local physicians have been kept
unusually busy for a week or more at
tending TO cases of influenza and colds
which take on the form OF grip 1t is,
OF course, impossible to state the num-
ber of cases existing. but there have GER
tainly been a good many judging from
the statements of doctors I'm different
sections of the city.
While there have been many cases
during the past week or so. IT has not
affected the death rate. In fact, the doc
tors all agree that IL is much milder in
form than 1t has been In previous ep-
idemics.
The death rate last week was GO and
only one was reported as having been
caused by grip, although there were eight
deaths due to pneumonia.
Cases OF pneumonia are always more
numerous, and in fact oftentimes follow
severe attack of grip, but according
to City Physician Chaplin the number of
deaths from respiratory diseases was not
unusual during the past week. i'm fact, It
was, If anything, light.

IN SOME CASES
A Single Package Of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure Is Sufficient to

-
Cure.
This may seem a broad state
ment when it is remembered that
few diseases are SO obstinate to
really cure as piles; some physi-
clans going so far as to say that
a painful surgical operation is the
only permanent cure but the
many and remarkable cures made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure in the
past few years have proven that
surgical operations are no longer
necessary, and that it is, by far
the safest and most reliable RENE
dy yet discovered for this common
and often dangerous trouble.
The harmless acids and healing
oils contained in the Pyramid Pile
Cure cause the blood vessels to
contract to a natural condition
and the little tumors are absorb
ed and the cure is made without
pain, inconvenience or detention
from business.
DIR. Williams, most prominent
CRITICAL surgeon says: st is the
duty of every surgeon to avoid
an operation If possible to cure in
any otner way and after many
trials with the Pyramid Pile Cure
l unhesitatingly recommend it in
preference to an operation"
mn Phil Owens of So. Omaha
writes that after suffering two
years from an aggravated case of
itching and protruo.ng piles he
was cured by a single 30 cent
package of the Pyramid Pile Cure
purchased from a local druggist.
he says; Il fully expected the
trouble would return but am hap
by to say for the past year and
half have been entirely free from
the disease and l can not speak
too warmly in favor of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure.
A bill clerk in one of the large
wholesale houses of st. Louis
says: 'My occupation as billing
clerk was so combining and seden-
tary that it finally brought on an
aggravated attack of rectal trou-
bile, which my physician diagnos-
ed as itching and protruding piles
and recommended a salye which
he prepared and which gave me
some relief for a few hours after
using and then the trouble would
come back as bad as ever; one Of
the other clerks advised me to try
the Pyramid Pile Cure and | now
feel like thanking him every day
for recommending it, as single
so cent package cured me and l
have had no trace of piles since,
something over six months"
Hundreds of pile sufferers, who
had almost decided to undergo the
pain and danger of an operation
have been astonished to find that
the Pyramid Pile Cure which can
be purchased at any drug store,
was far safer, better and more eff
fective than an operation could
possibly be.
