A NEW PRINCIPLE IN MEDICAL
SCIENCE.

For years it has been the practice of med.
zeal men to treat patients suffering from piles
by local, external applications. These treat
ments give but temporary relief, but have
never affected positive cure.
After months of research and study, &C.
oompanied by actual experience with various
patients, DIR. c. A. Perrin arrived at a posi-.
tive conclusion as TO the exact action OF the
various parts Of the bowel system, under
different conditions, and when subjected TO
various prescriptions.
lie finally prepared that wonderful inter
nal remedy known as DIR. PERRiN's PILE
SPECIFIC, which is put up in bottles, retail.
ing at all reliable drug stores for sl!OO each.
This internal remedy has been on the mar
ket for the past ten years, and in all of that
time there has been but three cases where a
positive cure has no, been effected.
d.. Penin's Pile Specific is sold under a
positive guarantee by the druggist making
the sale, 70 refund the fun purchase price,
providing the remedy fails to cure. This Is
the absolute proof of its merit. Any man
or woman who suffers from blind, bleeding
itching orinternal piles can try this internal
remedy with the absolute certainty that II
will cost nothing unless il cures. Here i

New York, Aug. 1.-THE upward
movement of prices encountered an
effective obstacle in today's stock
market after having made some add
tional progress over yesterdays al
vances and carried the average level
fraction below last night.
The profit taking which met the adj
vance invited some determined sup
port indicated by very large blocks
absorbed of Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific, Pennsylvania and st. Paul
and the rapid rally in those stocks.
Supporting tactics in Union Pacific
at one time carried it a shade above
par but the sentimental effect of this
movement upon the general list was
decisively neutralized by the drag
ging tendency of United States Steel
preferred.
Feverish and irregular fluctuations
of the Metropolitan fractions through
out the day completed the nnsettle-
ment and speculative sentiment and
resulted in an important shrinkage in
the volume Of dealings.
Reports reached Wall street of
plans for a reduction of working
forces by the Pennsylvania and Rock
Island systems, which pointed to fur.
Their retrenchment in the railroad
world
The development of great strength
in the corn market was the subject
of some sober consideration as great
reliance is placed on prosperous corn
crop for good things which the pres.
ent stock market is attempting to an
ticipate.
Reports from many sources Of
spring wheat damage continued very

report of reduction in its refined
product.
