Something New Under the Sun.'

All Doctors have tried to cure CA
TARRH by the use Of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous
membranes, causing them to crack
open and bleed. The powerful acids
used in the inhalers have entirely eaten
away the same membrane that their
makers have aimed to cure. while
pastes and ointments cannot reach the
disease. An old and experienced prac-
titioner who has for many years made
a close study and speciality Of the treat
ment Of cATARRH, has at last per-
fected a Treatment which when faith
fully used, not only relieves at once,
but permanently cures cATARRH,
by removing the Cause, stopping the
discharges. and curing all inflammation.
It is the only remedy known to science
that actually reaches the afflicted parts.

DISCARDED
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
intense 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 a purely
local disease. Such is not the case how
ever, and the success of the new treat
ment known as the Pyramid Pile Cure
has demonstrated it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a saIve
or ointment but a SuppositOry which is
applied at night and absorbed into the
sensitive rectal membrane and acts both
as local and constitutional treatment,
and in cases Of many years standing
this treatment mas been effectual
Thousands Of pile sufferers bear wit
ness to the inestimable value of the
Pyramid and even those who have IN
dergone surgical 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 Pyramid contains opiates or cocaine
because the relief is so instantaneous.
but the Pyramid Pile Cure is guaranteed
absolutely free from any opiate or min
eral poison whatever.
The relief is the result Of the astrine-
ent properties of the remedy which
causes the little tumors and contested
blood vessels to contract and a normal
circulation is established.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly sci
entific. both in its composition and in its
therapeutic action and the best feature
Of it is that it is perfectly safe and
harmless. No iii effects ever result from
ID use. but only positive benefit
Al 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 It is
the only pile cure popular enough and
meritorious enough to be found in every
drug store in the United States. Tt sells
at 80 cents for a fun sized package.

The Santa Fe Proposes Co Build
More Extensions.
New Line Being Surveyed From
Robin to Waco, Tex.
TWO NEW EXTENSIONS.
Reaching Into the Lake Charles
Rice Country.
Montgomery Branch Being Push
ed From Cleveland to Silsbee.

The number of railroad extensions pro-
posed and actually being built is so
great that it is difficult to keep all OF
them in mind. The latest is regarding
the Santa Fe reaching out into eastern
Texas and to louisiana In addition to
the several extensions which the Santa
F'e already has under way in that state
it proposes to build a road from Robin,
small station on the Montgomery
branch Of the system, in Montgomery
county, north through the valley of the
Trinity river for a distance of SO miles
A surveying corps is now in the field
running the line for this road and con-
structfon will begin early in March. The
road will traverse a rich agricultural
country, including Grimes, Madison,
Leon and F'reestone counties, that is
now lacking in railroad facilities. 1t is
said that while the first contract only
calls for the building of so miles, it is
proposed to extend continuation of it
to Waco. a distance OF probably $50
miles

from Cleveland to Silsbee, at which last
mentioned point 1T viii connect with the

Gently purchased by the Santa Fe.
The report also comes FROM orange,
Tex, that the proposed Lake Charles
& Rice Belt road, the charter Of which
has been filed already is really only
branch or extension Of the Santa F'e,
which has long been DESTROYS of getting
an entry to the Crescent City and the
Gulf port The story runs that the pro-
posed line Of railroad chartered to run
from Orange to Jasper. Tex, and the
survey of which has been begun, has for
its ultimate northern terminus the city
of Marshall, Tex, which is an import
ant point on the Santa F'e system. Esx-
tending from Orange in this direction the
line viii come to Lake Charles joining
here with the newly Incorporated Lake
Charles & Rice Belt railroad. The line
viii proceed in a southeasterly direction
until it reaches Gueydan and Abbeville,
thence on to Pattersonville. where the
Atchafalaya river and the Southern Pa
cIf1c railroad will be crossed, thence run
ming almost pan allel to the Southern Pa
ciic tracks until New Orleans is reached.
The Lake Charles country has come to
be much talked Of on account of the
great quantities Of rice grown there. The
Kansas City Southern has a branch
which taps that territory and which is
considered one of the most valuable
feeders of the system. The Lake Charles
region seems to possess great possibili-
ties as q rice-producing country.
