The only way to cure piles In every form is to use a remedy like the Pyra mid Pile Cure which Is applied directly to the parts affected and Its wonderful healing effects are felt on the llrst ap plication because the medical proper ties are rapidly absorbed by tho sen sitive membranes of the rectum and tho cure Is speedily made, nnd almost be fore the patient Is nw.nre of It. every trace of piles has left him. This is one reason why the Pyramid Pile Cure has been so successful. It It" applied directly where Is Is needed and where It will do the must Good. Not by the roundabout wny of the stomach nor by tho harsh, barbarous methods of various BUixlial operations and wi called systems. Its advantages over all other pile cures are these: It cures without pain, the cure It) lasting, It contains no poh'on and la the quickest und cheapest cure yet found.

It Is little realized that the sea Is n treasure house of gold, so Incredibly rich as to far exceed the wildest dreams even of ti mad millionaire. Although in every thirteen tons It only holds one grain of pure cold, its bulk is so vast that Ifs 400.000.000 cubic miles of waler hold In solution gold of tlie value ot JC!.02.-i,000.000,000,000. If this gold could be rescued and dis tributed equally among all the Inhabi tants of tlie earth, each man, woman and child living would have a fortune of J.'(!S3.333, or roughly 5U tons of sov ereigns, nnd would enjoy the comfor table living Income of 625 a week, or more than the annual Income of five cabinet ministers ot the iirst class. I-et us coin In fancy tho sea's gold, nnd pile our mvrlnds of sovereigns Into one stupendous column. Our tower of gold, standing on a base n ttitarter of a mile each way, would soar Into the clouds to n height of 11, !2S feet, or f)04 feet lower than the summit of Mont Blanc. To demolish and cart itwny our tower of sovereigns we should require the services of 3 2-'i horses for every man, woman and child In the world. If we make a cirpct of our marine sovereigns w should have more than sufficient to cover an area 1,000 miles long nnd is;; miles wide; in fact, to "plate" with sovereigns the whole ot Oteat Ilrltaln and Ireland, Holland Belgium and Portugal, with a rem nant of over 0,000 square miles of sold to spare. With our golden treasure we could make a girdle around the equator nearly eight miles In width, or ns wide as from tho Thames to Edmon ton, or southward, to the outskirts of Croydon. Similarly we could construct a road way to the moon 364 yards wide, along which ir0 carriages might bo driven abreast In comfort. We could make a railway track of gold to bridge the 91,725,000 miles which divide us from the sun. Our golden track would be ll'.i feit wide; and if In 1724, when George I. hnd still three ;-ears to r"lgn, an engine had started on its long journey from earth to sun. and had raced nisht and day over Its yellow track at the rate of sixty miles an hour, It would only reach its destin ation as these lines are being printed. At a final flight of astronomical fancy let us construct two rails of sovereigns, each 2 1-2 Inches wide, and on this track let us take a Journey to Neptune, 2,755,000,000 miles away. We should have quite sufficient sov ereigns lor his purpose; but, Journey ing night and day at rixty miles an hour, it would take us 5,242 years to reach Neptune, by which time It would be too late to think of the return jour ney. To have completed our journey to day, we ought to have started nearly 1,000 years before the Deluge, accord ing to recognized chronology. We should in this wny have escaped the Hood, at any rate. With our treasure of the sea we could buy the United Kingdom, with its land, houses, and nil Its accumu lated wealth of every kind, 82,000 times over; and we could furnish our na tional revenue for the next S.000,000 years, allowing for reasonable growth; In feet, a single minute's Income from our treasure, If carefully Invested, would be sufficient to meet our en tire national expenditure for a year. All the gold current today through out the world, If collected together, would only represent 1-5,602 of-a penny of each of our mrlnd of sea sover eigns, and If the same amount of gold could be produced by our mints every year It would take them l,35S,fliO years to mint a pile as large ns ours.
