POWERFUL PILE
 REMEDY DISCOVERED
Has Never Failed to End Most Obsti- nate Case of Piles in Few Days.

Has Never Failed to End Most Obsti-
 nate Case of Piles in Few Days.
 For years it has been proved that sO-called external remedies applied to or inserted in the rectum cannot cure piles, and at the best can only give temporary relief. Surgical opera tions also do not remove this cause, but simply the formation.
 This wonderful prescription. known as Miro Pile Remedy, is so efficient in the treatment of piles, that even chronic cases of from 20 to 30 years standing with prOfuse bleeding have been completely cured in from three to ten days. Think of it! Just a few doses of a carefully balanced pre- scription and the most persistent ase of piles is absorbed, never to return.
 Just read what Henry J. Stone of the Loran, Ohio, Fire Department says:
 T had bleeding and protrudinS piles for threc years and tried all kinds of remedies without result, but was thoroughly cured after taking one bottle of NIirO."
 Frank J. Phillips of Bird Island, Minnesota, says:
 1T used half a bottle of Miro. It worked like a charm I no longer suffer with bleeding and protruding piles. l never regretted the money for such blessings as I am now en- toying. I would have used the whole bottle but it was not necessary" All pharmacists dispense Miro or can get it for you on short notice. Surely it's worth the little trouble to
 obtain it to be rid of piles forever. 1N1PORTANT-Wha is known as itching piles are not piles in the true sense of the word, although this con- ditiOn may accompany a true case of piles. For this condition Miro Pile Ointment has been prepared as in such cases it is not necessary to take l the internal prescription.

Officers Receive New
Certificates of Discharge
Priceless Mementos Give Facts
of Distinction in COnnec-
ton With Service

CAMP DIX, N. j., Jan. 3.-First of
the War Departments new certificates
OF honorable discharge for commits
stoned officers were presented to those
officers who to-day were released from
the service at Camp Dix. Never be-
fore have American officers received
such certificates, the order for their
discharge previously being the final
paper granted to show they had left
the army.
In addition to certifying to his hon
orable discharge. the new certificates
show the battle engagements and
skirmishes in which the holder has en-
gagged, medals awarded, wound chew
rons authorized, war service chevrons
authorized and other facts of distinc-
ton in connection with his military
services. Officers who received the
initial issue of certificates to-day
seemed to regard them as priceless
memento Of the service. AS approx
mately coo officers have already re-
ceived their discharge through Camp
Dix headquarters, it was announced
that under orders of the War Depart
ment such officers can procure their
certificates by applying direct to the
adjutant general Of the army at Wash
inptOn,
