OVERLOOKED.
There Are Patent Medicines and
Remedies Without Number

For Every Disease and Affliction But One
A prominent physician was recently asked
why 1t was that there are SO many "hlood
purifiers" nerve tonlcs" and remedies for
every III, except one Of the most common
and annoying, viz; piles. Ia replied, here
are two principal reasons First, physl-
clans and people In general, have thought
that the only permanent cure for piles waA
a surgical operation, that medicinal prepa.
ratlons were simply palliative. Another
reason Is, that piles Is Ia no sense of the
word an imaginary disease; the sufferer
from piles is very much aware Of the fact,
and for this reason, the few so called pile
salves, ointments, etc, have been short
lived. The. patient very soon discovered
their ineficiency.
he says further. fortunately however,
there is new remedy for piles, which
judging from its rapidly growing popularity.
will soon take the place Of all other treat
ment; IL has certainly made astonishing
cures In this obstinate disease aud It's
clans and wherever II has been introduced.
the name or Pyramid Pile Cure
From the immediate relief which the Py.
ramid Pile Cure gives 10 all forms OF plies.
many physicians supposed II contnlned
but upon analysis 1t was found TO be per-
fectlg FREQ from anything OF the kind, and
that the instant relief and cure which fol-
lows it's use Ia rather the result Of its re.
markabIs healing, soothing action on the

A New Association.

The much talked of Association of
Manufacturers and Distributors of Food
Products of the United States came along
Wednesday at the Office of the secretary
of state, Trenton, and instead of having
the $50, 900, 600 capital, which has been al
legged, worked in under the act relating to
corporations not for pecuniary benefit.
Instead of the expected $4,000 for fl
ing, the state got lone dollar bill. and
Corporation Clerk Brooke was SO sur
prised that he came near making out the
receipt for. the $4,000 He explained
afterward that the extra figures would all
have been naughts and not represented
anything, anyway.
The incorporators are Len NJ. Fraley, of
Camden; John T. Cox, of Moorestown;
Josiah E. Brick, of Crosswicks, and
Lewis j. Link and John Wiseman, of
Philadelphia.
In just what way the new association in
tends going about the benefiting of its
members is not apparent, but. according
to the act under which it is incorporated
it will surely be necessary to avoid work
ing together to control prices or the mar
kets.
Perhaps it will be a delicate question
for court to decide where the mutual
interest" and 'pecuniary benefit" clauses
will collide.
Under the A. of NJ. and D. of F. P. of
the Q. S. plan it would be possible to
effect steel combine or meat trust, by
simply leaving the organizations out of
the question and using the officers as
members of mutual benefit society.
Prices and other terms could be agreed
upon for mutual benefit"
