ITCHING PILES AND OTHER KECTAL TROUBLES EASILY CURiD BY A NEW AND SAFE METHOD. A Hrmnrliiiblo .Number of Cures fllndo by tlio I'yriinild IMIn Cure. About one person In every four suf fers from some form of rectal disease. Tho most common nnd annoying Is Itching plies, Indicated by warmth, slight moisture and Intense, uncontrol lable Itching In the parts nffected. Tho usual treatment has been some simple ointment or snlve which some times give temporary relief,' but noth ing tike a permntient cure can be ex pected from such superficial treatment. The only permanent cure for Itching piles yet discovered Is the Pyramid Pile Cure, not only for Itching piles, but for every other form of piles, blind, bleeding or protruding. Tho first ap plication elves Instant relief nnd tho continued use for a short time causes a pcrmnnent'rcmovnl of tho tumors or the small pnrasltes which causu the In tense Itching and discomfort ot Itch ing piles. Many physicians for a long time sup posed that tho remarkable relief af forded by the Pyramid Pile Cure wns because It was supposed to contain cocaine, opium or similar drugs, but such Is not the case. A recent careful analysis of the remedy showed It to be absolutely free from nny cocaine, opium, or In fact any poisonous, In jurious drugs whatever. For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure Is probably tho only pile cure ex tensively recommended by physicians, because It Is so safe, so prompt In tho relief nfforded and so far ns known the only positive cute for piles except a surgical operation. In ono year the Pyramid Pile Cure has become the best known, the safest and the most extensively sold of any pile cure before tho public. Nearly all druggists now sell It at 50 cents nnd $1 per package. Address the Pyramid Co., Marshall, Mich., for book on cause and cure of piles nnd also hundreds of testimon ials from all parts of the United States. If suffering from any form of piles ask your druggist for a package of Pyramid Pile Cure and try it tonight. relatives and a few Intimate friends.

GENERAL GOBIN ON PENSIONS. Emphntic Opinions by the Command-cr-in-Cblcl of tho G. A. It. "Tho Grand Army believes that no ono should receive n pension who Is not suffering from actual disability. Some of the ablest men In tho organi zation nre opposed to pensions alto gether, except In cases of total dis ability, and they have never hesitated to speak their minds openly. "AVhethcr there is fraud or not I do not know. Statements and figures to which my nttentlon lin3 been drawn seem eo startling as to be almost In credible. I cannot except the state ment that there are 40,7l! more 'surviv ors' and 'widows' drawing pensions than there are actual survivors and widows of tho war. I propose finding out tho actual condition of affairs, not for my own satisfaction, but for the benefit of the organization. If my In vestigation shows that there Is any thing like the 'padding' In tho pension roll that Is claimed, 1 shall lav ths matter before the executive committee and the organization will take emphat ic action. If there is a single person on the pension roll whose name does not belong there tho Grnnd Army of the Republic wants It stricken off. "The number of survivors should be far fewer now than nt the close of the war. Tho veterans are dying fast. And then the great number of men who passed through the war and have nev er applied for pensions should be con sidered. I am very certain that more than 10 per cent, of the members of the Grand Army have never applied for pensions. "I am sure that the publication of the pension rolls would mpet with no opposition on the part of the Grand Army, even though' It should show that there Is fraud. If the publication will do any good, If it wilt result In tho de tection of the unworthy, and the strik ing off of their names from the roll and the punishment ot the guilty, I 'bell'ivo that tho Grand Army will ad vocate the publication. I will go so fas as to aay tl.lat the Grand Army of the Republic will favor stricter laws If it Is shown that the frauds are such as have been claimed. I. have long felt that certain reforms aro necessary, anyway. The present laws do not seem to keep frauds off the rolls t.nd they do militate against leally deserving veterans. "All that the Grand Army arks Is that those who aro disabled In service, either by wounds cr disease, shall re- celve pensions, and to that tho old soldiers are entitled.
