SURGICAL OPERATIONS
For the Cure of Piles and Rectal Diseases
No Longer Necessary—A Medical Dis
covery Which Will Change the
Treatment of All Such
Diseases.
It has long been thought, not only by
some physicians, but by people in general,
that the common, painful and excedingly
annoying trouble, piles, was practically in
curable by any other means than a sur
gical operation and this belief has been
the cause of years of needless uffering,
because of the natural dread of surgical
operations.
There are many salves, oinements and
afford some relief in the case of piles, but
the Pyramid Pile Cure is the only prepar
ation so far introduced that can be reli
aoly depended upon to cure to stay cured,
every form of itching, bleeding or pro
truding piles.
Mrs. M. C. Hinkley, of 601 Mississippi
street, Indianapolis, was told by her phy
sician that nothing but a surgical opera
tion. costing between seven and eight
hundred dollars, could cure her, as she
had suffered for 15 years; yet even in such
a ease as hers the Pyramid Pile Cure ac
complished a complete cure. She says: “I
knew that an operation would be death
to me and tried the Pyramid with very
lititle hope and it is not to be wondered
at that I am so enthusiastic in its praise.’’
Mr. D. E. Reed, of South Lyons, Mich.,
says: “I would not take SSOO and be placed
back where I was before I used the Pyra-
I mid Pile Cure. I suffered for years and
’ it is no ■■ eighteen men hs rince I used
: it anti not the slightest trace of the trouble
has returned.”
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by nearly
all druggists at 50c and $1 a package and
as it contains no opium, cocaine or other
poisonous drugs can be used with perfect
safety.

who will give bis excellent remedy a trial,

MACON NEWS TUESDAYEVENING, FEBRUARY 8 1898.
What is Going
On in Society.
The Atlanta Woman's Club and the
Rome Woman s Club have now been in ex
istence more tiwa a year, and have proven
that in feminine cluu work as in national
affairs there is strength in union. Why
should not the various clubs in tnis city
unite in forming a Macon Woman's Club,
so that the different organizations may be
as mutual help to eacn other?
At the last meeting of the Current
Topics Club Mrs. E. J. Willingham in. her
able and enthusiastic manner proposed
that all the women's cluos in the city
literary and philan-chropic should federate
thus forming the Macon Woman's Club.
Similar to the Atlanta aud Rome Woman's
Clun. This suggestion met with the warm
approval of the club, and all the various
organizations in the city representing
Woman's wit and woman’s work will be
called to inaugurate this co-operative
plan. The possibility of a club room as a
meeting place for the verious seotioas of
the club and for all general meetings of
the City Federation was discussed with
enthusiasm. It is hoped that music,
French, and Art clubs will join the asso
ciation, and that the Bread Winner’s Club
which is slowly taking shape, will be an
important element in the life of the Ma
con Woman’s Club.
In speaking of the gosd to be derived
from uniting forces and making all clubs
in the city parts of one organization, J
cannot do better than to quote from Mrs.
R. E. Park, a woman whom we all love
and admire and who is both prominent in
all that is best and greatest in club life
for women, and whom w-e all admire for
ner rare intelligence and culture, her no
ble interest in the lives of others less for
tunate than herself, and her personal
grace and charm. Mrs. Park has this to
say of the advisability of forming a Macon
Woman’s Club:
“The good that can be accomplished by
centralizing the scattered influences of in
telligence and philanthropy and combin
ing the various factors which work for the
uplifting of the community into one har
monious unit, is incalculable. The co
ordination of all these feminine forces
means the evolution of ‘sweetness and
light’ out of discord and darkness. Per
haps the greatest benefit to be derived
from a union of women’s clubs is the
breadth of sympathy and liberality of
view engendered by different classes com
ing in contact with each other. The vari
ous society cliques need to peep out of
their oyster shells and see whigt the other
mollusk’s are doing. There is nothing like
contact with one’s fellows —one’s sisters —
for rubbing off the angles of selfishness
and prejudices.
The spirit of the true club woman is
altruistic. She longs to help the other wo
man to better, brighter, higher things.
She Strives to stir stagnant minds into
healthy activity, to put purpose into pur
poseless lives, to relieve the deadening
moaotony of drudgery, to lighten the bur
den of labor, to soothe the cry of the chil
dren, and to help the world against the
powers of darkness. Who can doubt the
beneficence of a union that will bring
women of every shade of opinion and of
various castes aipl coteries and sects, Jew
and Gentile, together on the eommgfi basis
of sisterhood—daughters of the one—‘All
Father.’ ’
The Breadwinners iCJub has for some
time been a pet project of Mrs, Pack’s,
and is a plan noble enough to deserve
mention anywhere. Mrs. Park has enlisted
the sympathy of Madame Younge, Miss
Miller, Mrs. Nicholls, and other leading
modistes, as well as Mrs. Ainsworth and
others, and they all agree that much goad
can be accomplished in this way. One
idea of the union of breadwinners is this—
if a sewing girl is ill there will be a sup
ply from the general fund for her neces
sities, and she will not ,be dependent on
charity to obtain the money necessary for
life and for medicine. Then when a girl
working for her living, and as often hap
pens, for the living of others, is thrown
out of a position, the others will combine
to secure a place for her,
It Is hoped that teachers, typewriters,
Woman’s Exchange, sales-women, sewing
girls, milliners and factory women will
meet on the common ground of the nobil
ity of labor, while the Woman’s Club will
be divided into different sections of mind
labor and had labor.
