There are some people who have piles as
regularly and frequently as other people
have colds. Any little bowel troublo will
bring them on, any extra exertion, as In
lifting, will produce them, and, tn fart, will
often appear without any apparent provo
cation. Pllrs, however, is much more seri
ous than a cold as the tendency Is always
to grow worse until tho trouble becomes
deep-seated and chronic, or devclopes Into
some fatal rectal disease.
Whl!e thero are many ptlo remedies which
give relief, yet there Is but ono which not
only gives Instant relief, but at the same
time makes a permanent cure, and that Is
the well known Pyramid Pile Cure,
f This remedy Is composed of simple, harm
less vegetable Ingredients, but combine so
effectively 'and act so promptly and thor
oughly that tt cures every form of piles
whether Itching, blind, bleeding or protrud
Ing. In long-standing cases the Pyramid
Pllo Cure has proven to be the only certain
curu except a surgical operation, and Its
advantages over an operation aro many, as
It Is painless, causek no delay or Interfer
ence with dally occupation and, last but
not least, U cheaper than any surgical
operation could poislbly be, costing 50
cents a package at any drug store. The
cases that tho Pyramid Pllo Cure will not
reach aro so few that physicians are dolni;
away with operations f? pilos and de
pending on thin cheap but effective remedy
tn accomplish a complete cure, and It never
disappoints except In cases beyond the reach
of medical skill. Tho Pyramid Pllo Cure Is
prepared by the Pyramid Drug Co. of Mar
shall, Mich., aud for sale by druggists
everywlirru at 50 cents per packsge. Each
package contains n treatise on causa and
cure of piles, together with testimonials
from every section of this country.

the transportation of the German troops

to the murder of Baron von Ketteler, and
say that tho fact that Count von Waldersnc
was appointed commander-in-chief of tho
allied forces rendered It necessary for Ger
many to send a proportionate contingent.
Quite (Jnexplnlnnhlr, They Sny.
The view prevails here that tho American
reproaches and Intimations against Germany
nre unjust. Official circles here bay thny
arc unablo to account for "tho systematic
ill will In the matter shown by tbo Unitod
States prtss."
The correspondent of the Associated Press
hns Interviewed a high official, who said
nothing was known here officially In regard
to tho alleged combination, of tho United
States, France and Russia to compel Ger
many to reduco her China claims.
"Tho wholo story Is absurd," he said.
"If tho claims' must be scaled, Russia shou'd
be tho first to begin, since she makes tho
largest claim. Germany can verify tho cor
rectness of hers, murk by murk."
Discussing tho sources of China's borrow
ings the official referred to said;
"The United States authorities have been
Informed that many rich private Chlnem
aro ready to lend money to tho govern
ment. It Is also .expected that American
and French Investors would do so, and
perhaps English nnd German money will
be forthcoming. Thero can ho no question
of ono nation taking advantage through
lending money to China."

In n letter dated at Savannah, Oa., March
29, 1SG2, General Grant wrote:
All the Hlnndrrx you have corn ngalnst
inn originated iiway from where I wns.
The only foundation wns from the fact that
I wan ordered to remain at Fort llrnry
hiiiI send the exnodltlon under Major Oen
oral Smith. Thin wni ordered because
General llnlleck received no report from
mo for nearly two weokH ufter tho fall
of Fort Donelsnn. The samo occtined
with me. I received nothing, from htm.
The comrquence was I apparently totally
disregarded his orders.
The fact was, he was ordering me every
day lo report tho condition of my com
mand. I wnH not receiving tho orders, but
knowing my duties nnd reporting dnlly,
nnd when anything occurred to make It
necessary two or three times a day. When
I was ordered to remain behind It was the
cause nf much astonishment nmotiR the
trnopx nf my rommnnd, anil also disap
pointment. I never allowed a word of con
tradiction tn go nut from my headquarter.
You need have no fear but what I will
enmo out triumphantly.
I am pulling no wlroB, ax political gen

A FEW FACTS.
About tin' New Cntnrrh Cure,
Tho now Catarrh Curn Is a now departure.
In so-called catarrh cures because It actual
ly cures and Is not simply a temporary
relief.
The new Catarrh Cure Is not n snlvo,
ointment, powder nor liquid, hut n pleasant
tasting tablet containing tho best Kpcclflca
for catarrh In a concentrated, convenient
form.
The old stylo of catarrh sulvcs anil oint
ments aro greasy, dirty and Inconvenient
at .the best; tho new preparation being In
tablet form Is always clean and con
venient. Tho new Catnrrh Cure Is superior to
Catarrh powders becauttc It Is n notorious
fact that many catarrh powders contain
cocaine.
Tho new Catarrh Cure Is called Stuart's
Catarrh Tablett, a wholcrornu combination
of blood root, beachwood tar, gunlncol and
other antiseptics, nnd cures by Its action
upon the- blood nnd mucoix membrane, tho
only rational treatment for catarrhal
trouble.
You do not havo to draw upon your
Imagination to discover whether you aro
getting benefit from Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets; Improvements and relief tro apptpint
from tho first tablet taken.
All druggists fic.ll and recommend them.
They cost hut GO cents for full nlzcd pack
ages, and any catarrh infferer who has
wasted time and money on sprays, s.ilves
and powders will appreelatn lo th full the
merit of Stuart a Catarrh Tablets,
