Triumph of Scientific Medicine. Piles or Hemorroids, a disease, so com mon and so well knowD, usually depends upon congestion of the abdominal venous circulation. This congestion eventual re sults in the formation of tumors, and fre queni hemorrhage or discharge of blood, or, in some cases, a discharge of mucus, or violent itching. A rational treatment will relieve this congested condition at once, upon which the tumors depend. Hum phreys' Witch Hazel Oil, ''The Pile Oint ment," is the triumph of Scientific Medi cine. Northing has ever been produced to equal or compare with it as a Curative and Healing Application. It huo been used forty years and always affords relief aud ai ways gives satisfaction. It cures Piles or Hemorrhoids—External or Internal. Blind or Bleeding-Itching and burning; Cracks or Fissures; Fistula in Ano; worms of the Rectum: Bums, Scalds aud Ulceration and Contraction from Burns, Boils, Hot Tu mors, Ulcers, Fistuaias, Old Sores; itching >ns.

MASAUER KEEXE'S BESEFIT. Return of the Little Kugget Company. The tarce comedy success, "Little Nug gel.".which appears at the Armory Opera House, Wednesday, Mar. 22. has been on the road for the past nine years, which time is a criterion of of its being first clas and strictly refined in all respects, and in dications are it will entertain n large aml ience. "Little Nugget" is a play a man cares to -see after hi* day's work is done, and to which he can with propriety, take a lady, for nothing is said or done to invoke .the censure of the most fastidious. There also a plot in it. founded on the old story of the misused daughter, who proves to be an heiress. Her guardian, old Grin der, a deep-dyed villain, makes all the trouble he can. but in the last act he is caught cracking a safe, and all ends in happiness. It also contains many bright lines, and a string of catchy songs and dances have been skillfully detailed into the play. ASSIGNEE'S SALS.
