Is not only intensely painful, dangerous to life and very expensive, but in the light of modern medical research and since the discovery of the Pyramid Pile Cure a surgical operation is wholly unnecessary. If you have any doubt on the point kindly read the following letters from the people wito know that our claims regarding the merits o ft'he Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out by the facts. From N. A. Stall, Ridge Road, Niagara Co.. N. Y. :"F received your Pyramid Pile Cure and tested it last night. It did me more good than anything 1 have ever found yet. and rtmember this was the re mit or one night's treatment only. From Penn W. Arnott. Batesville, Ark.: Gentlemen- Your Pyramid Pile Cure has done so much good in a short time that my son-in-law, Capt. T. J. Klein, of Fort Smith, Ark., has written me for your ad dress, as he wishes to try it also. From E. A. Townsend, Benville, Ind.: I have been so much benefitted by the Pyrramid Pile Cure that I enclose. $1 for which please semi me a package, which i Wish to give to a friend of mine who suff ers so much from piles. From John H. Wright, Clinton, DeWitt Co.. HI.: 1 am so well pleased with the Pyramid Pile Cure that I think it but light to drop you a few lines to inform you its effects have been all that I could ask or wish for. From P. A. Burton, Llano, Tex.: Gen tlemen—The Pyramid Pile Cure has done so much good for me that I will say for the benefit of others that after using only two days I am better than I have been for months. The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by The Pyramid Drug Co., o (Marshall, Mich., and is truly a wonderful remedy for all forms of piles. So great has been the number of testimonial letters received by them from all parts of the country that they have decided to publish each week a number ofsuch letters. All druggists recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure, as they know from what their customers say that no remedy gives such general satisfaction. [s3[ "]g[ $3.00 Hats.

He Spoke Most Encouragingly of the Work Done in the Past Year Gresham Annex. The annual meeting of the directors of the Macon Hospital Association was held at the Public Library yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock, and as was predicted in The News yesterday afternoon, all of the old officers were re-elected. There was a good attendance at the meeting and the election resulted as fol lows : President —C. T. King. Vice President—William M. Johnston. Secretary—F. F. Reese. Treasurer—A. R. Tinsley. Messrs. S. R. Jaques, Isaac Hardeman, C. T. King, R. L. Burden and C. B. Wil lingham were elected members of the board to fill an unexpired term of two years. Members of the board elected to fill the full term of 'three years were: R. E. Park, J. M. Johnston, Joseph Dannenberg, S. C. Hoge, T. J. C. Park, Wm. M. John ston, F. F. Reese, A. R. Tinsley, W. B. Hill, Henry Horne, J. A. Thomas. Members of the board from the city council are S. B. Price, W. T. Morgan, Sam Mayer, C. D. Pearson, J. T. Moore. The following committees were appoint ed: Finance Committee—S. R. Jaques, J. M. Johnston, Isaac Hardeman, J. Dannenberg, S. B. Price. Building Committee—H. Horne, 9. C. Hoge, R. F. Burden, C. B. Willingham. Medical Board—William F. Holt, M. D., chairman: Henry McHatton, M. D.; Max Jackson, M. D.; W. R. Winchester, M. D.; K. P. Moore, M. D.; J. H. Shorter, M. D. The visiting staff is composed of the medical board, together with the following physicians: R. B. .Barron, H. P. Derry. Howard J. Williams, O. W. Weaver, Jas. T. Ross, W. B. Gilmer, C. H. Peete., Superintendent and housephysician, W. J. Little, M. D. One of the most important questions be fore the meeting was the offer of Mr. T. B. Gresham to build an annex to the hospital and it was decided 'to refer the matter to the finance committee with full power to act. All of the reports went to show that the hospital was in as good condition as could be expected. President Campbell King made the fol lowing address to the members present: “To the Subscribers and Friends of the Hospital: The meetings of the board of directors have not been attended by all of the members at any time daring the past year, and absence from the city prevent ed the regular meeting In August, but a faithful quorum has given close attention to details and the end of the bard year of active work has been reached. “The capacity of the hospital has been overstrained in every department, and the increasing demand for more accommoda tions cannot long be resisted. “The public generally has manifested a most gratifying interest In the great 'be nevolence by contributions of money, sur gical instruments, bed and table linen and other useful articles. The proposition of Mr. Thomas B. Gresham and Mrs. Minnie Machin to con tribute a sum sufficient to erect a new building capaible of satisfying present de mands ('the terms of which offer have been made public) I hope we may find available at an early day. The importance of com plying with the terms of this proposition cannot be too strongly urged upon the at tention of all who can contribute to its consummation. “The Ladies'’ Auxiliary has devoted much valuable time towards raising money for the hospital, and their practical enthu siasm furnishes an inspiration to the men that can only result in the success of this undertaking. “The carefully kept records of the hos pital and reports of committees supply these important details of hospital work: “With an average of five patients per week during the year 90 per cent of 'the case were benefited and only about one-third of them were able to pay for service. The increased appropriation from the city has provided for the prompt payment of bills and thus establishing for the hos pital a good credit. “The house physician, matron and train ed nurses have rendered faithful and effi cient service in keeping up the property of the hospital and providing for the com fort and relief of the sick. “In completing the term of my presiden cy Icordially thank the members of the board for personaj courtesies and their invaluable assistance in the administration of the affairs of the Macon Hospital.’’ SIOO REWARD SIOO. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upen the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foun dation of the disease and giving the pa tient strength by building up the consti tution and assisting nature in doing its work.
