Relation of Rectal Diseases
TO the General Health.

There are several reasons why Rec

and patients so unanimously hesitate
to seek professional advise The first
is that the subject is almost wholly
ignored at the time students Of medi-
cino are receiving their education, For
this reason doctors take but little in
teTest in the subject. The ordinary per-
son afflicted with a Rectal trouble Is
nervous and timid, lie calls on his doe
tor and the doctor, who has little
knowledge in such affections, inspires
no confidence in his ability to give re-
lief. All patients have great fear Of
the cutting operation generally EN-
ployed for the cure of Piles-they fear
losing control of the bowel if the op-
Grafton is considered. They all know
or nave heard Of number of suer

loses suit AGAINST
SECURITIES COMPANY

The Securities Company OF North
America on August 25. 1914, was dis
solved, pursuant TO the action OF two
thirds Of its stockholders and the
Wilmington Trust Company was ap-
pointed receiver. The company had is
sued numerous contracts called accu-
mulative bonds. requiring a certain
number Of payments at expiration of
which time the company agreed to pay
the holder specified sum, together
with a share Of accumulations in what
was called the profit fund.
The company agreed to loan money
to bondholders in. certain amounts
upon a fixed table of guaranteed value
with bond as collateral The profit
fund was made up of Withdrawals,
discounts. transfer fees, fines and for
FIXTURES. net interest earnings in ex-
cess OF three per cent per annum on
the reserve and net interest earnings
on the profit fund.

had two OF the bonds, each of $4,000
and had borrowed on them from the
company in February. 1914, after hav-
ing paid eight and one-half years

receiver she filed a claim to parti-
cipate in the assets of the company
The receiver demanded payment Of in
terest due on the loan TO the date OF

The case was argued for the petit
toner by Caleb s. Layton. Jr.. and
Herbert II Ward for the receiver.

established doctrine of the right tc
equitable set off did not apply in this
case and likened the legal rights oi
holders OF the bonds TO the rights oi
subscribers Of the stock of a building
and loan association and held that the
petitioner is not entitled TO have the
set off claimed. and is not entitled
to have the moneys paid in on the
