NASAL catarrh Is only one of its many

Judge Lamb to Hear Arguments for
Receiver Ola Dominion Is. 6 Il. Assn.
Judge Lamb has set February 2Sth as
the date for hearing argument in the
suit of Miss c. r. Shields. who asks for
a receiver for the Old Dominion Building
and Loan Association.
The plaintiff claims that she has never
been paid any OF the recent dividends,
and has never surrendered her contract
rights, and therefore asks that the COM
pany be wound up, under control Of the
court. Mr.. Willis &. Smith is counsel
for Miss Shields.
Hon. j. Taylor Ellyson, president of
the company, when seen in regard to the
matter, gave out the following:
There is a dispute between Miss
Shields and the Association as to the
amount due her. Several attempts have
been made to settle the matter upon the
same terms as we have made with other
shareholders, but, from this notice I
presume her counsel has decided to go
into court, though we have received no
formal notice of the suit.
IT is matter that will doubtless be
very easily determined, and we are both
willing and able to pay whatever the
Judge shall decree is due to the plaintiff
More than 50 per cent of our share
holders have consented to the plan Of
voluntary liquidation, and under that
plan We hare within tho last seven
months paid two dividends, and we are
now making ready to pay another within
the next f3w months.
we have not the slightest idea that
these proceedings will interfere in any
way with the present manner of winding
up the affairs of the company"

Tho Old Method OF Treating Piles and
Rectal Diseases supplanted by
the Pyramid Pile (-urc

The old methods OF treating piles by
1iSature, by the knife or by the cruel
methods of dilatation. besides causing in
tense pain and frequently collapse and
death, are now known to be but mere
makcshiTts as far as a cure is concerned.
The liver is responsible for nearly ev-
cry case of piles and the mistake has
been made oc treating piles as n purely
local disease. Such is not the case, how
ever, and the success of the new treat
Gent known as the Pyramid Pile Care
has demonstrated it.

surgical operations without cure have
been happily surprised by results from

The relief from pain is SO immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that the
Pyramid contains opiates or cocaine be-
cause the relief is SO instantaneous. but
the Pyramid Pile Cure Is guaranteed alb
solutely free from any opiates or min
eral poison whatever.
The relief is the result OF the astrin-
gent properties of the remedy, which
causes the little tumor and congested
blood vessels to contract and a normal
circulation is established.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly scien-
tiflc. both in its composition and in its
therapeutic action and the best feature
of it is that it is perfectly safe and harm
less. No i'll effects ever result from its
use. but only positive benefit.

number OF patent medicines before the
public is that the Pyramid is the only pile

enough TO be found IN every drug store
