One Of the things that appear to
have been settled by the Boer war is
the disappearance from the British
army Of the organization known az
the army corps. 1t is stated authori.
tatively that the division is the largest
tactical unit that can be conveniently
employed in the field. The army corps
sent to South Africa went to pieces
Immediately after it landed, and all
subsequent relnforcements went out
as divisions, and General Roberts
worked with the divisional unit
throughout. However much the corps
organization may be adapted to Euro.
pean warfare, It has no place in such
wars as Great Britain usually wages.
With the disappearance of the army
corps, corps troops will so, and the
divisions will have their own small
proportion Of cavalry and artillery. The
cavalry and artillery will then have
their own groupings according to clc.
cumstances.

DOING GOOD EvERYWHERE.
A Medical Discovery That Effectual-
ly Cures Piles in Every Form.

For many years physicians have eN-
perimented in vain, seeking remedy
which would effcctually cure piles and
other rectal troubles. without resort
ing to "a surgical operation. Many
remedies were found to give temporary
relief, but none could be depended
upon to make a lasting, satisfactory
cure.
Within recent period. however, a
new remedy. the Pyramid Pile Cure,
has been repeatedly tested in hundreds
of cases and with highly satisfactory
results.
The first effect of the Pyramid Pile
Cure Is to instantly remove the pain
and irritation generally present ana
from that time on the cure rapidly
progresses and before the patient is
hardly aware of It he is entirely cured.
The remedy seems to act directly on
the nerves and blood vessels of the
parts affected az IL comes into direct
contact with them and sets IN u
healthy action. which IN a perfectly
natural way brings the parts To their
normal condition.
The remedy does its work without
any pain or inconvenience TO the suf-
ferer and is justly considered one OF
the most meritorlous discoveries of
modern medicine.
Piles is one of the most annoying
and often times dangerous diseases
with which humanity Is afflicted. If
| neglected it frequently develops into
Fistula or some equally fatal and in
| durable trouble. whereas by the time
| ly use of this simple but effective
remedy no one need suffer Il single
| day from any form of piles, unless
| they want to.
The Pyramid Pile cure is perfectly
| harmless, containing no mineral pois'
| ons and Is also very reasonable in
! price. costing but fifty cents pack
age. 1t is sold in drug stores every
where. The manufacturers of the rem
edy are the Pyramid Drug company
of Marshall. Mich. who have placed
| this excellent preparation before the
| public only after giving IT thorough ant
| repeated tests in the hands of reput
able physicians. The results in hun
| dreds of cases have convinced us tina
it will not dsappoint YOU.
