club, Hamilton club and republican
reform are one and the wune but he
did not say humbug. Furthermore did

bers of our supreme court have decld
ed that it was not dishonest at all for
ex-Aumtor r.ugcne Moore to put the

away and keep this money In a safe
place where nobody could get at It,

pickpocket, will ever 1ms able to get
it out from there.

rroposiiiona for reform In every
instance, In every uge, have been re

been returned In their good ctTcc-l
more by sen If, Jeer and feeling of
contempt tliiin by liny reason or urgu

It seem almost incredible thut peo
ple who are to derive benefits from a
reform movement must huve the n
form crowded upon them 'against their
will. J 111 ii J Mini t a person the ne

having the slaves freed! (Oinpare

People go along for years suirerlnf

Tliey don't seem to amount to mm b,
but they banish sleep and iippetllc, 'o

tense local pain and thut dreiidful
feeling of weight In the perineum.
Maybe in the curly stages some of
the many salves on sule will afford
temporary relief, Jf the cuse 1 of long
standing there I only one speedy mid
sure remedy. It, is Pyramid Pile' Cure,
Kven in light cases It is the safest
Ihlng to use. Older application may
cure and uiiiy not. Pyramid Cure i
ul ways certain, always reliable, always
bring comfort at once, It prompt
use save mouth of severe suffering.
In extreme cuse It will save surgical
operations, and their attendant dan
gers and discomforts. It Is better than
a knife, Will cure easier, quicker and
safer. Thousands have used It. Thous
ands have lieen cured by If. Th cost is
tuning compared with what It doe.
The price is 80 cents, Most anybody
would gladly pay ten dollars to be rid
of piles.
