AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.

Has it over been your unhappy lot to be
told by your physician that You must go
to hospital and submit TO an operation"
Ii SO. you remember with what dread ant.
shrinking you awaited the day when you
must endure the knife. The present-uay
surgeon appears to be possessvd by 3
mania for operating, especially in cases
OF hemorrhoids or piles, and While the
greater number Of the profession do not
recommend this last II sort unless they
honestly believe it necessary. the fact re-
mains that much needless operating is
zone and the patient put to much eX-
pense and suffering. for what? To OBJ
tain a possible temporary relief. These
words are USED adslStdly, because In min,
Gases out OF ten the aftilction returns and
the patient is just where he started from.
Oftentimes he could be cured much more
simply and easily by the use of such 3
remedy as the Pyramid Pile Cure. This
has come to be recognized as the bes,
remedy on the market for the painful
disease named. and the druggists now sell
more OF it than all other pile remedies
combined. The writer personally knows
people who are afflicted with the worst
form Of bleeding and protruding piles.
and who were permanently cured by the
use Of Pyramid Pile Cure In every one
Of these cases the attending physician
had assured the sufferer that only by ar
operation could he rid himself of the
disease. So much for the infallibility of
the doctors. This remedy. which is sold
by all druggists at the low price of go
cents. is in suppository form, is applied
directly to the parts affected, and per-
forms its work quietly and painlessly.
The Pyramid Drug Company, Marshall,
Mich, will mail free to any address =

orrhoids, their ca use and cure.

MR.. BLAKE PLEASED.
Mr. George Med. Bake. one of the
members Of the Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton. who appeared and spoke before the
meeting on Monday night. said yesterday
that the measure was just to his liking.
Mr. Blake is of the opinion that If the
city does not SIT at least $4,000 out of the
measure as proposed it will be because
it is not properly administered by the
Finance Committee. He thinks there are
number of dealers who should pay the
highest rate, and that a large majority
should pay the $50. He cannot see why
the city should not reap at least $50 Coo
from the higher license.

Mr.. A. W.. Rosene. another prominent
dealer, and vice-president of the local
Liquor Dealers Association. expressed
satisfaction With the compromise plan
recommended by the Council. When ask

be put in the $3.50 or second class. he
estimated. off hand. that as many as fifty
dealers might be so classified. and proba-
bly, nalf a dozen placed in the $3.50 class
This would leave about $50 dealers in the
800 class. Mr.. Rosene did not think the

ything-home, wife, children, and all.
While here he was taken up and given

Very little interest seems manifested
in the congressional election which takes
place to-day although there seems no
doubt about Southall's victory. Only
small number of the voters in this dis

in former elections.
