And nil other forma of this common and
often dangerous disease readily cured with
out .pain or Inconveniences.
Thousands of men and women arc afflicted
wllli some sort nf piles , without either know
ing the exact nature of the trouble , or knowIng -
Ing It , are careless enough to allow It to run
wlthnut taking the simple means offered for
u radical cure.
The failure of salves nnd ointments to per
manently euro piles has led many to believe
the only cure to bo n surgical operation.
(
Surgical operations are dangerous to llfo
nnd moreover not often entirely successful
and nt this time are no longer used by tlio
best physicians or recommended by thorn.
The safest ( inj surest way to euro any
case of piles , whether blind , bleeding or
protritillng , is to use the Pyramid Pllo cure ,
c mposod of healing vegetable oils , anil ab
solutely free from mineral poisons nnd opi
ates. The following letter from a Plttshurg
gentleman , a severe sufferer from bleeding
piles , gives some Idea of the prompt effec
tual character of this pile cure. Howrites :
I take pleasure writing those few lines to
let you know that I did not sleep for three
months except for a short time each night ,
because of a bad cnso of bleeding piles. I
was down In bed nnd the doctors did mo no
gond. A good brother told mo of the Pyra
mid Pllo Cure und I bought from my drug
gist three GO-cont boxes. They cured mo
and I will soon be able to go to my work
again. WILLIAM HANDSCUU ,

The Pyramid Pllo Cure Is not only the
nnfebt nnd surest remedy for piles , but Is the
Jiesl 'known ' nnd most popular. Kvory phy-
etclnn and druggist in thu country knows It
und i what It will do.

different times there were brought to him
pieces nf what seemed to be ordinary meat
from the markets , which evidently had been
kept foe some time , presumably In a re
frigerator. " 1 found salt in very small
quantity , " said Dr. Murdock , "nnd some ot
the meat was coated with boraclc acid. In
other specimens I found that they had been
coated with n preparation of salicylic add
for preserving the meat. 1 gave the opinion
that salicylic acid was not only detrimental
to digestion , but produced nausea. Boraclc
acid , while in Itself not nauseating , dclnyn
the process ot digestion nnd hence Is not a
fit preservative for meat used ns a diet. I
understood this to bo refrigerator beef ;
found boraclc acid In two specimens and
salicylic acid in one. These experiments
were made about the middle of June , 1898. "
Colonel Davis : "Had it any connection
with the government ? "
"I don't know thnt It did. "
"Was It delivered to you < by anyone con
nected with the government ? Hnd ho con
tract relations with the United States ? "
"I don't know that ho had. "
"In connection with your duty as'ofilcer
of the Health department , what have you
found to be the practice among the butchers
of Chicago ns to the use of preservatives ? "
"They don't use preservatives very much ;
for certain classes of meat they use some
preservatives ; In fresh beef there Is not
much need for preservatives. Meat that has
been kept for a time and exposed once or
twice becomes slightly tainted , and that taint
Is frequently removed with bicarbonate of' '
soda , and sometimes by dipping pieces ot
meat into a hot solution nnd then placing
it Immediately In the refrigerator. A hot ,
solution of boraclc acid , which simply coats
the outside , will remove the taint from
meat. "
"Were either of these samples tendered
you by anyone connected with a packing
house ? "
"I was not nt liberty to Inquire into that
matter , I was simply consulted ns a scientist
on that subject. "
"Hnd you any occnsion to think or suspect
that they came from a packing house ? "
"Well , I don't believe a scientific man Is
expected to go Into those stipposable things. "
Colonel Davis : "In what quantities did
you find chloride ot sodium nnd snltpetro I
In the canned beef you examined ? " I
"I did not make a quantltlvo analysis , but
there wns a largo amount , moro than
ordinarily used In cooking. "
C'oulliiK' UUCN .NoI Injure Interior.
Dr.'Murdock In reply to questions by Major
Leo said : "I can see how n coating of some
preservative could delay the tainting of the
outside of the meat , It It was exposed to thei
sunshine In a moist climate nnd a low nltl-
tude. If something of that kind Is not used
I cannot sec how meat can be kept a great
length of time In a moist climate. And If
that outside coat wns cut awny it would not
utfect thu value of the meat as a ration. "
"How long would refrigerator beef that
had been refrigerated a considerable length
of time keep after it had been removed from
the refrigerator in a hot climate nnd a low
nltitttdo without nny artificial coating ? "
"My opinion Is that It could not keep more
than a few hours six or eight hours. "
"Have you ever found horse flesh put up
In cans nnd sold on the market here in Chicago
cage ? "
"Not put up In cnns , hut I hnvo had sam
ples brought to mo purporting to be fresh
beef from the market and have found some
of these samples to bo horeo flesh Instead of
beef. I bad no means of knowing whence
they came. An Investigation with that re
sult once led the health department to sup
press an establishment In the outskirts of
Chicago. "
William J. Grlffln. sergeant , Company F ,
noting aergeant inajor of the Second bat
talion , testified that nt Jacksonville the
refrigerated beef had to 'be ' frequently re
jected ; It looked good , .but when cut open
It had a peculiar odor , a nauseous stench.
On ono occasion a fresh beef stew was
nerved and Immediately thereafter the entire -
tire company was taken violently sick with
vomiting und diarrhoea. For tow weeks
nftenvards thirty-seven out of the company
was the maximum unfit for duty. Within six
weeks three men died , nnd although the
rosords chow they died from fever , witness
mild ho knew that the sickness from this
meat 'was what killed them. This meat
had to bo brought two mtlea nnd a half
from the point of Issue , which took about
half nn hour. An investigation was made
of the beef iw3ileh made the company sick ,
but with what result witness could not say.

r. John U. Iliirno
of Chlcngowho was
assistant surgeon of the Second Illinois vol
unteers while the regiment was ut Jackson-
Mllc , Btnted that ho had condemned the re
frigerator beef several times before it left
the wagon which brought It. Ho had nlso
returned some of It to the cars taking it
hack in wngons and telling the agent of
Snlft and Cumpnny thnt ho could not use
it. Ho hud refused the ment seven times
In < no month on account of the bad cdor
and bad taste. The men coniplulucd bitterly
that they could not eat it.
Colonel Davis : "Had you occasion to believe -
lievo It or suspect that the Swift refrjgeratcd
beef had been chemically treated with a
view to its 'preservation ? ' "
"That hud never been suggested to me ,
but It occurred to mo when I used It. The
only ground I had for that belief was the
difference in its taste nnd Its appearance
after It had been removed from tbo car. H
had n deadened , peculiar appearance and 1 i
wondered -whether any chemicals had been
used. "
"Aro you able to say that itbls appearance
was not duo simply to advancing decomposi-
tlon ? "
"I would not like to say that. I don't
believe I can define the vague idea that came
Into my mind. I attributed considerable of
the sickness to tainted beef. "
Flrat Lieutenant Hedekln of the Third
cavalry tesUlka that the principal meat ra <
[ lion In Cnbn wo * refrigerator beef. The
j complaint against It wns that It wns rotten
Colonel Dnvls naked the witness It ho Imd
nny reason to believe or sunpcct thnt chcml-
nls had been used in preserving Hid re
frigerated beef.
Proiillnr Tnntp Miikm Him .SIelf.
"The night after I joined my troop re
frigerator beef appeared on the table In the
form of stenk. That wns the tlrst 1 had
scon. Upon lasting it I remarked that It
had n peculiar tnsto which I had never
noticed before In beef. I ate very heartily
of It. That night I had diarrhoea , which
I | ' developed shortly afterwards Into dysentery ,
nnd I wns unable to ascribe the disease to
nny other cause. "
"Whnt led you to ascrlbo the peculiarity
to preservatives ? "
"Tho fact that the ment was different
from nny thnt I had ever tasted and that It
mndc mo sick. "
"What preservative would hnvo had that
effect ? "
"I don't know. "
"Why atlrlbulo It then to a preservative ? "
" 1 considered it different from the ordi
nary .beet . nnrt Its appearance was different. "
"Whnt led you to connect thnt with chemi
cal preservatives ? "
"Only that It seemed to me n natural pro
ceeding lo endeavor to preserve Iho beef
under the circumstances. "
"Was that all you had to base your opin
ion on ? "
"Yes , sir. "
Albert U. Manns , the chemist of Armour
& Co. , testified that a large number of chem
icals were used In the manufacturing dopnrt-
| ment , but not in the packing house , except
borax nnd bornclc ncld , which wore used In
packing some goods for the foreign mar
kets.

W. CInrk Marshall snld ho hnd been n
specialist in meat provisions since 1S48 , al
though he had not been In nny of the estab
lishments In seven or eight years.
"Please explain the nnture and charnclcr
of your experience with reference 'to ' cnnned
meats , more particularly canned roast beef ,
so-enlled , " enld Mnjor Lee.
"I have investigated nnd experimented In
the matter since 1848. The process of can
ning meat today robs the moat of all its
nutrition , leaving nothing but fibre , fat and
gelatine In the can. I consider It entirely
unfit for human Tood. The government
chemist describes It us a mass of Insoluble
matter. In the packing houses In
soluble matter would come under the
head of talikngo nnd would be used as a
fertilizer. There nro thousands of - experiments
ments in all colleges , known to nil scientists ,
to show thnt animals fed with it will starve
to denth. Canned corned beef "
Colonel Davis : "I objectto nny testi
mony from this witness which does not re-
Inte strictly to the objects ot the inquiry. "
Major Lee : "I believe that nt times the
questions of the recorder have gone out
side the subject of the Inquiry. I wish the
witness , of course , to keep within bounds. "
In reply to Mnjor Lee , the witness stnted
that ho knew where O'Mnlley's slaughter
house used to be located. Ho also knew of
a herd ot thlly \ or forty condemned cattle
being driven there for slaughter. Ho snw
some of these cattle the next dny in n city
market. He knew of the carcasses going
afterwards to n canning establishment. Ho
would not give the nnme of the concern
unless the firm denied it. The cattle hnd
plcuro-pneumonla. This occurred eighteen
months before Dr. DPVOC took charge of the
Bureau of Animal Industry at the stock
yards.
"How long will canned roast beef keep ? "
"If properly canned , It will keep for
twenty years. "

A $ the last meeting of the elty council
Councilman Ilnrrett announced that ho wns
In favor of permnncnt sidewalks being laid
on nil graded streets. The question come
up by Instructing the street commissioner
to repair certain wooden sidewalks. It Is
estimated that the city has paid out at least
fl.,000 during Iho last year for repairs to
wooden sidewalks nnd the street repair fund
Is thus depleted every year. According to
Uarrctt something must be done to relieve
the street repair fund ot this drain , and ho
therefore advocates Iho laying of perma
nent walks on all graded streets.
Ttiere Is a stnndliiR rule to the effect that
whore sidewalk rcpalis cost over ? 1 that
the amount he taxed to the property , but
In spite of this order repairs are being con
stantly made which como under this amount
nnd Which In the nggregnto cost the tax
payers n goodly sum.
It Is asserted by those Interested In the
project that by establishing n permanent
sidewalk district nnd engorcliiR the ordi
nance n great many damage suits would be
avoided. The cost of n brick walk amounts
to n very little mere as compared with a
wooden walk nnd It lasts for years. Imi
tation stone , composed principally of ce
ment , Is laid for n very llttlo moro than
brick and Is equally na durable. It has
been suggested ttint nn ordinance bo passed
i establishing a district In which permnncnt
' wnlks must ho laid ns soon ns the present
wooden wnlks need repairing , The dlstilcv
suggested Is from A to Q street on both
sides of Twenty-fourth street ; on Twenty-
second nnd Twenty-third streets from 0 to
N street , nnd on Twenty-Ilfth , Twenty-
sixth nnd Twenty-seventh streets from Ate
to Q street. It Is nlso recommended that Q
street from Twenty-fourth to Thirty-third
street bo made a part of this district. This
proposed district would tnko In n. large-
part of the business portion of thu city ami
, would Insure safe travel under foot for
pcdestrlnns. Damage cases nro constantly
coming up for personal Injuries alleged to
have "been caused by defective walkp , and
It Is thought that by making permanent
walks in Iho business portion of the city
that a great many of these cases would be
done away with. These cases cost the -Jlty
hundreds of dollars yearly and as the tax
payers hnvo to stand the costs it is con
sidered bettor and cheaper to hnvo perma
nent walks than to worry nloug with poor
plank walks.
In this connection City Engineer Heal
says that the plan Is n good ono so fnr ns
It refers to paved streets , but ho docs netlike
like the Idea of ordering permanent walks
on unpaved streets. In Uio case of graded
but unpaved streets there Is no curb line
and therefore no stability for the wnlks

Whereas , II. U. G19 , a bill Introduced by

Why Dyspepsia Cures Have Failed
to Relieve You
THE FOLLOWING WILL EXPLAIN
In reply to the question , Why have all
dyspepsia , cures heretofore. iiHt-cl fulled to
cure ? a well known physician snld : "For
years we huve. known that them were at
leust two distinct kinds ot dyspepsia , and
that each required Heparulo remedies Yet
wo 'have ' always combined these and prt >
Ecrlbed them to bo taken In one do o with
out a thought of onu counteracting the
ellent of the othr , which they nro bound
to do. " This Is one reason , another Is this
only recently has -it been found that food
Is not digested In thu stomuoh at nil. but In
stead prepared by this oinan for digestion
In the intestines ; now , as all cures hereto
fore manufactured have been directed to
ward assisting the stomach to digest what
wo eat. It ttnnda to reason that no benefit
cjuld possibly bo derived from their use. .
Those two mistakes , made by the manu
facturers of dyspepsia cures , would seem to
explain HUfllelently the cause cf failure to
cur. ? , but a stronger reason than tni > si can
ho given , It Is found 'In the trentim-nt of
that most dangerous nnd prevalent form of
dyspepsia , Inte.stlnnl Indigestion ; for UI.H
disease there has never b-on any remedy
known to the profession , caused as It Is by
luiL-terln ; no germicide strong i-noiigh to
destroy them could ho glvn without great
d.aig r to the patient. Consequently the
physician had been compelled to let the
patient suffer , nnd the result IIHH been that
V4 pc.r cent of nil the grown people In our
country nre now dysji piles ; moreover , nine
out of every ten cases of appendicitis are
now known to como from Intestinal IndliH'K-
tlon. JH it nny wonder , then , that dyspepsia
In nil It.i forma has become more prevul nt
every year ?
The now treatment Is unlike anything ev r
used before , "llyomc'l. ' " the now Australian
dry air germicide , has proven to brthe
most valuable dlFCOV ry made in rnedi.-lne
for years. It hns removed catarrh , bron-
chltlH and consumption from the Hat of
dangerous dlec-nscs and now romi-s to the
profession again In a new furin. whii h ,
taken Internally , kills the bacteria musing
dvhpepsla ns readily as 4t do H tinbiillll
of catarrh and consumption , and thl.s with
out the leant danger to the patient. MiAiu-
fnctured ns It Is. with different remedies for
each phnxo of dybi ipsla ( Homethlng whit h
haiifv = r been thought of before ) , I belli vo
It will prove an Inf.illllilfi cure for this dis
ease. At any rate , adapting their imunl
met1- i' Hii.ih i'i. sunrunU'G this
treatment to cure , or refund the nnuipy.

A few steps to most any neighbor will tell you the plain truth about the amazing

until today the sales of Paine's Celery Compound in every civilized country nro larger
than those of all other spring remedies of all kinds combined.
Paine's Celery Compound Is the ono spring medlclno endorsed by physicians

body Is most amenable to improvement ) has never yet failed ! In the spring take
