BARBAROUS SURGICAL OPERA.
TON
For the Cure of Piles

Is not only intensely painful danger
Gus to life and very expensive, but in
the light of modern medical research,
and since the discovery of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, wholly unnecessary If
you have any doubt on this point
kindly read the following letter from
one who knows that the claims regard
ing the merits of the Pyramid Pile
Cure are borne out by facts.
Mr.. Henry A. Brown, S53 Saratoga
St, East Boston, Mass, writes as fol-
lows: Il have been for a long time
going to write to you about your Py-
ramid Pile Cure. Some years ago my
wife had piles, and always had
them more or less at times, although
much worse after beng married. they
We're so troublesome that she tried
everything every acquaintance told her
of. One fine day l got Disguised at
seeing such a collection of pile rene
dies on her dressing case, and she
was complaining more than usual that
day too. / took her to a doctor, and
after listening to her he looked very
wise and salu she would have to have
them cut out. That night l went to
a lodge meeting and saw young
doctor there. and he told me of the
Pyramid Pile Cure. I got a box and
my wife used them, but in the mean
time she consulted a lady physician
and she pooh-poohed the cure round
ly. The Pile Cure oId its work better
than the knife; she used two boxes
and they cured her; we had part of
another box but she had no use for it
otherwise than to give suppository
to some friend now and then. 1 have
employed the young doctor ever since
in my house and have thanked him
many times for his good words on the
Pyramid Pile Cure. I am assistant
engineer at Trinity Court, Dartmouth
ST.. Boston, and you can bank on this
being genuine and from the bottom of
grateful Yankee heart, both myself
and wife, whom your medicine has
saved a great amount of suffering to-"

| The first lesson was about getting an
admission to the victims house and a
courteous audience for our tale. This
! is an art in itself There is only one
form of rebuff that can deter the adept

knocked at the first promising door.
The lady came herself to open it and
finding out his errand by a shrewd
question, bade him good morning and
shut the door. But the theologue had

Pardon me madam said he. but
what do you think of your own action

business men assert that the city will

Strong protests we're made yesterday
to the Passaic Valley IN. j. District
Sewerage Commission by large deIega-
ton Of representative business men and
officials of Paterson against the pro-

Alderman Johnson. first spokesman for

not have placed upon it a sewer burden
that, he declared, will inevitably bank

Alderman Johnson's Argument.
he argued the state should pay at
least 90 per cent Of the cast, If the trunk
sewer plan is adopted, because. through
permission secured from The State, i'm
mense quantities of water have been
diverted from the natural channels of
the Passsic and its tributaries for

This diversion. he argued, had nateri-
ally reduced the flow in the river. and
was responsible IN a large measure for
The nuisance that now exists through the
pollution OF the stream.
Judge Francis Scott argued tn it is
within Constitutional rights for the
state TO pay every dollar for the con

van. the one-time weT-knowu actress,
has been m=steriously removed from
the Sanford Hill sanitarium at Flush
ing, where she has been confined for al
most a year. TO a quieter retreat, where
death viii end her misery.
Unusual precautions we're taken to
maintain secrecy as TO the former act
ress' removal. and her present where
abOuts are unknown 10 all except her
most intimate friends.
IN the last month the actress condi-
ton has manifested dangerous de-
cline Shortly after entering the sani-
tarium Georgia Cayvan was stricken
blind and has never been rational for
periods OF more than a few minutes
In her delirium she has attacked her
nurses and other patients. and on sew
eraI occasions smashed ali the furni-
rure in her ward.
a few years ago Miss Cayvan was
afflicted with a tumor which under
mined her health. She was shortly
af1eTwaTd named as correspondent in
the suit Of Mrs Oliver Sumner Teal
gaiust her husband for divorce.
The Professional Women's League de-
Tended her name. q suit for Islander was
instituted. and Mrs TeaI's lawyers
made a public apology and vindicated
the actress. But Georgia Cayvan s
mind gave way under the false &C
cusation. and her removal TO a sani-
tarium followed shortly afterward
One result OF her suffeTings was the
passage of . new law guarding against
the indiscrimjnate naming of co
respondents IN divorce suits without due
cause and giving the person named the
opportunity to appear in court and
defend herself.
