WHY THEY FAIL.
Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause
of Piles

Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause
of Piles.
Disagreeable treatment with oint-
ments or suppositories usually fails
to cure piles and cutting them off
won't remove the cause. Such treat
ment only moderates the outside ef-
fects of the disease and fails to reme-
dy the inside cause. The up-to-date
doctors now use internal medicine, to
free the circulation in the lower
bowel, and so remove the disease.

the heat He was booked for the hot

he made nine speeches from car plat
forms, winding up with two in the

fore the Marion, Ind. banking asso-

test day in a quarter. Of a century tells
for his endurance as well as his faith
fulness to duty.
At indianapolis, on the 4th he had
a great time. and speaking on reci-
procity, he said:
The sound republican doctrine has
become the imposition of duties only
where the conditions are naturally I'M
equal, and where duties are necessary
in order to enable our manufacturers
and other producers to meet on level
the competition of foreign producers.
The Canadian reciprocity agreement
which has been made exactly squares
with this doctrine
With regard to the effect of this
treaty with Canada. he said:
1T will steady prices by charging
the reserves Of supplies for those
things that are raised in both coun-
tries and it viii make more remote the
possibility Of cornering commodities
and extorting excessive prices for them
from the public"
He thoroughly ridd1ed the claim of
the Changers about injury to the

quoted Blaine and Mckinley for the

A CAMP FOR FEEBLE INFANTS.

New Bedford, following the example
of Philadelphia and some other cities,
has established an open-air camp for
sick infants as a means of giving them
a cool and inyigorating atmosphere
when they need it. The camp has
been established on Cove road where
cool breezes abound. The place has
an old-fashiened garden with grape
arbors there is a house at hand in
which rooms have been granted to the
committee for administration pur-
poses. while a large garage with big.
swinging doors and many windows will
be the camp itself. The capacity will
be twelve infants at first, with the
probability of an increase should it be
found necessary, and children of less
than eighteen months, preferably of
less than a year, will be the ones ac-
cepted. The increase to the full num-
Der that the camp will accommodate
twenty five, will be dependent largely
on the possibility of securing sufficient
trained assistance.
The cases that the camp will take
will be principally CASTRO enteritis and
infant debility. in fact just those ba-
bies whose lives may be saved by
fresh air and proper feeding. The
garage will be used during the nigh
with doors and windows open and il
the daytime the children will be moved
out into the shade of the arbors. Fol
