Upou an evil Journey sped, A nd. like a sharp und cruel durt, It pierced a fund und loving heart; It turned a frieud into a foo, And everywhere brought puin and woe. A kind word followed it one duy, Flew swiftly ou its blessed way ; It healed the wound, it soothed the puin, And friends of old were friends aguin ; ?ok^LLummVcTIk; hate uud anger ceuse, And everywhere brought Joy and peace. Hut yet the hursh word left a trace The kind word could not quite effucc; And though the heart its love retuined, It bore a scar that long remained; Friends could forgive, hut not forgot, Or lose the sense of keen regret. Oh, if we could but luurn to know How swift und sure one Word can go, How would we weigh, with utmost care, Etfch thought before it sought the air, And only spenk the words thnt move Like white-winged messengers of lovo ! ?Hunday-tit'hvol Times. The Ruler of Japan. i It is gradually forcing itself upon tiuiversnl public attention that Ju pan possesses in the Mikado one of the most sagacious, high-minded and virile of modern rulers. Mut Huhito-Tonno is only forty-three years old, und he has reigned but twenty-eight years, but during those years lie bus uplifted his people from a state of serfdom to the front rank of civilization. When he came to vhe throne, a mere boy of 15, the country was divided up among the daimois, those feudal lords who for ages have proudly ruled their dis tricts by the aid df the samurai, heir armed retainers, und fought each other. Had ho followed the traditions of his ancestors, Mutsii hlto would have passed his career an invisible, unapproachable, divinity laimhig despot, ruling by u regent. to emerge from royal se exercisc personally and eyes of all the preroga * lice~ Then ho insti ries of radical reforms so marvelously traiis )cial and political con iis empire. He was scarce! yTTv^nty when lie issued tlmtn decree which overthrew the shogu natc, praotically swept, feudalism airtl reduced the samurai to citizen ship on a level with the rest of his subjects. Then came the rental ka ble stroke by "which he deprived himself of absolute power, and granted to his people constitutional and representative government?a parliament of two houses, he retain ing for the present the right to veto legislation which might prove harm ful by reason of the inexperience of those enacting it. Then he under took, for worthy reasons, the sub jection of his mightiest neighbor. During all this war the Mikado has exercised supreme authority. The shrewd diplomacy which bus char acterized his recent dealings with European powers, and the promul gation of his idea of " Asia for the Asiatics"?a confederation of Chi nese, Koreans and Siamese with his own race, yet receptive of all that is valuable in Occidental ideas, und cultivating peaceful relations with Occidental peoples?reveal a breadth of view, which, taken with past po litical und military achievements, entitle the Mikado lo rank among the foremost, if not Um fo "0111001, of Hie rulers of the world today. * The Payment of Small Obligations. Harpor'4 Basar. Few women, let us hope, are in tentionally dishonest. The majority of women are fastidious in the con ?-??duct of their ?nauces, shrinking from debt as from disgrace, und pre ferring to pay fully and honorably us they go. Vet, now and then, one hears a wail of complaint from peo ple who suffer needlessly because of the heedless manner in which other people keep them waiting for money which they have earned. A dress maker said, recency, to one of her patrons: "I Jim nearly frantic when I think how hard I worked, and how late I sat op to finish Miss-'s gown, and now I am afraid I will never be paid. 1 have waited six months for that I4II, and I cannot get one cent, though 1 have almost begged for it, even offering to take it in instal ments. I am distressed in these hard times, when everybody is re trenching, because people do not have so many new things, and others who have had them, put off paying me." On her way homo the sympathetic customer thought about it, happen ing to know that there were no in dications of want, or straitened means, in the family of the delin quent debtor, inferring that the tiling was due to an ingrained indifference to paying for work when,done* Prob ably there was at first a temporary inconvenience in settling the bill, and it was postponed "for a day or two, and then the period lengthened insensibly, other creditors brought their bills, larger amounts were paid, and still the poor dressmaker waited and wondered, ami grew frantic with worry, poor tliim?! To defer even for one day the pay ing of the laundress, who has ac ceptably finished her day's work in your kitchen, is, it may be, to force her to ask credit, grudgingly given to such as she, at the grocer's shop whore she deals, or cleo to send her children meagrely fed to their beds. People who have a comfortable bal ance in bank do not comprehend the straitened ciirunisfancos of the peo ple who live from hand to mouth. Coal bins filled to the overflow arc a very different thing from coal pur chased in the dearest way, by the pailful at a time, yet thousands of poor women can buy their coal only ?1 very small quantities or go with out. Think or being calmly told to wait till to-morrow tor one s wages, when neither 'stick of wood nor* ounce of coal is on hand for the family <iro^j^HHPPW^ Apart frvni' the inconvenience, embarrassment] and misery entailed by laxity in paying what one owes, especially when the creditors are tie I poor, and the debts are small, there 18 evident a serious lack of principle in persons whocun comfortably con ti inte in debt. 7E|ty lapse in the rigid honor which I insists on meeting each demand and paying it in full at the moment of its maturity iuvolves a loss of self respect, and brings in its train a warped morality. 'filiere are fow things more import ant in the education of children than the fostering in them of the right estimate of personal obligation. The child should be enjoined ugainst borrowing and begging in his small transactions. Let him be held to strict account and responsibility tu to his management of his allowunce. Fidelity here will tell, in years to come, when his dealings are no long er small, but affect great commercial interests. A Golden Room in a Wooden House. The longer we live the eaaier it ought to he not to estimate a man's character by the clothes he wears. Our Young People tells this incident as illustrative of the mistakes.which one makes who believes that true politeness is invariably concealed nn derneath broadcloth and silk. One day last summer a beautiful young girl rustled into a cable ear and sat down with her companion. Her dress of pure white serge was fresh from the dressmaker's, and looked the embodiment of dainty freshness. Her little gloved hands held a white parasol, tied with a knot of yellow ribbons, and remind ed one of a great white lily with golden centre. Of course the car was crowded, and among the pas sengers were some of those Italian laborers that are now doing the rough work of our great cities. > Picturesque creatures they are if one sees them at a distance, with their shaggy heads, and great, mel ancholy eyes that look as if they wore always longing for a glimpse of the sunny skies of Italy, but nialadurous and to be shunned if one has to sit I next them for a half-hour, and that is what this lovely, bright-eyed girl* had to do. "I tiliiik it is dreadful," she whis pered to her companion. "Why don't the company refuse to let such creatures on the cars; or, if they must ride, I should think they could stay in the smoker. He will ruin my dress if 1 touch him, I know. Just sec how he stares at me." And so he did, his great eyes lightening and softening as they fell on the girl's fair beauty ; and then ho arose, and leaning forward to catch the strap, fairly bent over her. The girl grew restive under his attitude. "I am sure he is very imperti nent," she said. "I have half a mind to call the conductor." And sure enough, when the con ductor came around, she motioned to him. "Won't you nmke that man move?" site said. "Move up!" The words were said in the quick, sharp tone one uses usually in speak ing to a cross animal. "Yees," the Italian answered, "hut see ze oil! Ze bootiful lady, sec?" The lady looked up, and saw that the oil lamp had sprung a leak, and would have dripped all over her had not this man seen it and, stretching out his arm above her, formed an umbrella which hud perfectly pro tected her beautiful dress and bon not. A guilty bhusb came into her face, as she bowed her thanks to him, and murmured to her friend: "It makes me so ashamed to think while I was scorning him and he knew it, he should have taken such '? pains for me. It's a lesson 1 will ' not soon forget, that those poor 1 laborers have bigger souls than I ' have. I'll never be scornful to one again, I'm sure." I "It makes me think of Longfel low's rhyme," replied her friend : 1 Intelligence aud courtesy not always are combined, ! Oft in ii wooden bouse, a golden room wc ? find. The Hottest Place on Barth. ?The hottest region on the earth's , surface is on the south western coast , of Persia, on the borders of the Per , sian Gulf.

At Bahrin, in the center I of the most torrid belt, as though it I were nature's intention to make the I place as unbearable as possible, water from wells is something unknown. Great shafts have been sunk to a" depth of f>00 feet, but always with the same result?no water. Not withstanding this serious drawback a numerous population contrives to live there, thanks to copious springs, which burst forth from tho bottom of the gulf more than a milo from the shore. Tho water from these springs is obtained in a most cur ious and novel manner. Machadores, whose sole occupation is that of fur nishing the people of Bahrin with the life-saving fluid, repair to that portion of tho gulf where the springs are situated, and bring away with them hundreds of skin bags full of I water each day. The water of the gulf where the springs brirst forth is nearly 200 feet deep, but the nia-, chadores?divers?manage to fill: their goat-skin sack? by diving to l In- bottom and holding the mouths of the bags over the fountain jets ;' iln , too, without allowing tho sail Water of the gulf to mix with it. The source of these submurine foun tains is thought to be in the hills of <). niDii.I, 500 miles away.

That is all right. It would be awful for the whole family to have the blues at the same time. In fact, nobody ought to have them and nobody is ubliged to have thorn. They creep stealthily upon a man somotimes, and if he does not Qght them off he is very poor com { pany. My wife says f look like 1 didn't I nave a friend in the world.

There are tho shows and theaters and sowing societies and tho parties and buggy rides and bicycles and shopping- and fashion uanguzines und going to tho j springs and visiting and receiving | visits, besides tho domestic affairs of putting up jolly and jam and pickles and preserves.

The meok shall inherit tho earth aud the poor in spirit tho kingdom of heaven, and if there is anything olso to inherit I don't know it. Poets, philosophers und rieh men have all testilied to the vanity of richoa. and yet every rascal of them wants more than they have got. And so do I. Some of us arc fools onough to believe that wo want money to do good with and help other poople. Thore are a few rich men of that kind, but they are rare. There are still left hero and there at lonolv distances a Peter Cooper or Poabody or George W. Scott, who do not wait until they die to do good with their money. Car negie and Rockefeller give of a slice occasional ly, but they hold fast to the big end of tho rope and keep on piling up. The New York World sont out in quiries not long ago to all of the mil lionaires to know whether or not great riches brought happiness. (Jarnogie said : " Wealth brings happiness only when tho possessor feeda tho hungry, clothes the naked, endows institutions of learning, founds hospitals and does other countless good works." Rockefeller said: "Wealth does not bring happiness, for no man thinks himself wealthy. No umu is so rich but what thore are others richer than he is, and that fact makes him feel poor. Practically, there is no such thing as a rich man. Money is like strawberries and cream?nobody ovor gets enough. 4 Don't you think you have had enough, Kthel ?' said her aunt. 11 may think so, auntie, but f don't feel so,' said Ethel. No, the fact is that great wealth brings uuhappi ness." Russell Sage said : " Riches are all vanity and vexation of spirit.

Maekay said: "1 am sur prised that any one would for a mo ment think that riches brought hap piness. I was happier during my early struggles with poverty than 1 have eve been slnco. I enjoyed the toll, privation and hardship 1 endured to win wealth. When swinging-pick and shove) as a miner I was as happy as I ever can be." Levl F. Morton : " When I was a poor young man of twenty years clerk log in a country store I used to think that if I ever got to be worth ?100,000 1 should be tho happiest man alive. Now I am worth that and more, but I feel that I am no happier than In my poorer days." i George W. Pullman said : "I am certainly no happier than when 1 bad not a dollar that I oould call my own save that for which I worked' from morn till night. I can wear but one suit of clothes. 1 ato three square meals a day then and can eat no more now. Then I had no responsibilities and could go to sleep when my head touched the pillow. Now that 1 have vast interests and business cures rest ing upon me, I cuunoi sleep like I did then. I was happier then thuu I am now." And many others answered on the Baine line. Now the question comes up why don't they liguteu the load. If tho surplus bring care and trouble, why don't they stop trying to make It bigger? Why not divide out tho re sponsibility ? I know lots of men who would help to carry the the load. In fact, I would volunteer my own sor vlces. I don't understand why these men all write One way and do another way. Hut maybe it is the, force of hab it?like tho poor fellow who had staid in jail so long he wouldn't come out when his timo had oxpired. We all like to soe a man succeed in his busi ness, but we like him still moro if ho becomes his executor and does not hold on to his riehes until grim death has to prize his hand open to mako him lot go. It seems to mo there would be great reward in helping the unfortu nate. Some men say that poverty and misfortune come from bad eonduet and bud management. Well, it does us a i general rule, but there are so many ex ceptions that it can hardly be called a rule. Good luck has mudo many a man rich, but be thinks it was his smartness. And bad luck has made many a one poor. Tho Germans have a word for an unlucky man that wo have no equivalent for. Tboy call him a sohlomiol?that is a person who nevor prospors, with wtium everything goes wrong, misfortune has marked him?bad luok follows him. Yet, as though providence had pity on Iii in, the schlemiel is always good naturod und light-hearted. A smile illumi nates his faco, just sucli a smile as our wood hauler wears. 1 reckon lie is a bchlemiel. But tho good Lord shapes the baek to the burden. Tho German sohlomiol is conscious of bis misfor tune and will say with a merry twin kle of the eye: "I ain't no goot. 1 j got no sense. I ish a bohlemlel." 1 know some such people?good peo ple they are, too, but bud luek has fol lowed them over since 1 knew tnem? bad luek in u money way, 1 mean, hut I like to meet them ; they are soehcor fut and amiable and they laugh so merrily at a joke.

In the fall of 18U4 the northern part of Virginia was in a great deal of ex citement, for the raids of the Confed erates bad greatly annoyed the Union forces. But there was no way to catch tho marauders. The region lay at the foot of the Blue Hldgo mountaine and while tho Federal troops would bo quietly sleeping in their touts, some bund of rangers would swoop down upon them with a wild rebel yell and before they wore half awake thoy would lind themselves prisoners. Wagon trains of su tilers' supplies would bo taken off boforo any detach ment of troops would come to tho resoue, traius would often dash from the rail into some big cut and bo stripped of evorytbing sont out from Washington to the Union army, and an immonso foroo was kopt constantly on the watch for a einall band of only a few hundrod in number, who novor slept and who struck ono point to-day and the next night would raid a camp at least fifty miles away. It was very annoying to tho Fodorul generals, and, though thoy took every precaution iu tholr power, every expedition mot with a mortifying failure, for tho Virginians wore alert enough to elude capture, having a thorough understanding ol the mountainous region in which thoy operated. "Ablaut tho Federal commander de tormlned to exterminate tho rungcrs, and with thut view sent out a picked eerps of men who wore eager to moot and capture the enemy, who boasted I that bo could not be tukon. It was early iu the morning of a warm Sep tember day when tho mon in blue reached tho top of a hill in close prox-1 im it y to where tho rungors wore known to bo, and it was only a fow seconds before tho boys in gray caught sight of tho uniforms of thoonemy, as tho Fed erals came downward at a brisk trot. At the foot of tho hill was a long stretch of dusty road, shining brightly in tho cool September sunlit air. Tho boys in blue dashed down with a wild hurrah, while thoir horses, catch ing tho excitement of tho light, loapod forward as if eager for tho fray. And with au equally fervent yell tho rebels put spurs to thoir horses and came on at a steady gallop to meet tho foe. For a moment there was a brisk rain of bullets ; several of tho men foil in the dust, while their foaming, riderless steeds continued in a mad chase down the pike. Thon tho Confederates broke and lied, with the'yollingyankooseloso at their heels. It wus a long, bot chase und soon tbo soldiers on both sides woro wearied out and the punting horses eould hardly keep up, had it not hoon for tho con tinued application of whip and spur. At last u, stream was reached, and bore the Union men succeeded in capturing several Confederates. But not the loador. Ho was a small, wiry man with a frame as strong and tough us stool, one who did not know what fear or defeat meant, and bo plunged bis ani mal into tho water, lifted bis sword high abovo his head and safely climbed up tho opposite bank, amid a shower of bullots, accompanied by a shout of ad miration from tho astonished enemy. In a moment ho was out of sight bo hind the hills. It took ten minutes for tbo prisonoi'b to bo disarmed and for tho cavalcado to roach tho otbor side ; then the pur suit was ro8inned About a quarter of a milu down tbo road was a pretty farmhouse, ono of tho ideal type, with a little porch, ovor which climbed a (lowering vine, while tho yard was full of swoet. old-fashiou od bushes, and tho huge oak tieos almost shut out the sunshino that tried timidly to creep into tho quaint little sitting room, whore a young girl sat busy peeling fruit. Tho door was open, and just as tho girl raised her oyes, a horse raced into tho yard with its Hanks rooking with water and tho rider wet from tho tip of his plumed hat to tho solos of his cavalry boots. Tho man rode Into tho barnyard and loft bis stood in tho stall, then dashed into tbo bouse. At that moment the head of tbo Federal column came over tbo hill on a gallop. The Confederate saw the line of blue uniforms, the sun flashiug on tho subros, and, with a hur ried g'Hiico around, ho sprung to his foot and ran to tbo corner, in which stool un old clock, one of the style that was used in the revolutionary timos, and is now known as ??^?? indfathor'8 clock." In a moinont bo had opened the door, slipped inside, und bv tho time be bud closed it again the Union men woro trooping Into tho houso. Thon began a thorough *earoh of tho house from garret to collar, but not a trace of tho man could thoy lind. Tho bods wero torn to hits, tho pantries explored, every closet upset, and no nook or corner of the plaeo left unln vestlgated. lint to no purpose. Then tho barn wus given a good overhaul ing, and though they found tho wot and saddled horse, there was no trace of tho rider. At last all of tho Union men collected in tho sitting room, wboro tbo young lady sat quiotly watching tho proceedings and still busy in her household duty of prepar ing tbo fruit. They woro nonplused and could not imagine what bad be come of tho rebel. No'v, it happened that the old clock was not running, urn had uoou broker, for Homo time and was full of dust, which tho entrance of the ranger had disturbed. In fact, he was in a great predicament. I) ist bad filled his nos trils, and ho fcit ertsep over htm the aorrib'o sensation of a ujinin^ snooze. To sneeze at ihieh a Mine would bo to betray Iii? biding pmce to tho union inou, whjUOW lillett tho room, but it wus Impossible to control tlu>. itching I ol i lie Irritated uosu any longer. A sneeze meant capture, perhaps death, hut no matter, t.io sneeze had to come. A bright thought just then (lashed into tbo Confederate's mind, and, with a .puck motion of his bund, ho set tho old wheels in a whirl anil the rusty pendulum swung out in Minoren-* ehimu. in tho cover of tho noise tho snooze was born, but it was not heard. How evor, tbo sudden waking into life of the old clock excited suspicion, and with a glance of Inquiry, the Federal officer moved toward it. The young Virginia girl was quick to take in the situation. With a fretful air she ex-! claimed: ''There goes that old clock again; it must really bo fixed, for it is so an-! noylng," and the officer, ohanglng his mind, took no more notice of the oc curanee. In a few minutes the house was deserted and the troops had pass ed away in the direction of their camps, leaving the Uebel to come out from his biding place a uight to behold. The wet clothes were full of dust and his face gray with the water and mud which covered it, but he was a very happy man. In au hour's time he was baok among bis remaining troops, but he was never anxious to repeat his ad venture in the old clcck. TILLiMAN ON FltKK 81LVK.lt. He DeelarcN liiere Must be a Free 811 ver Candidate lor President? If Ho Cannot. Oot a Democrat, Ho Will Take a Populist. Sonutors B. it. Til I man and Marion Butler spoke to a crowd of .'1,000 people at Concord, N. C, on the Kith inst.. and the following report of the meet ing is takeu frofn tho News and Cou | rier: After un introduction by Mr. Cahl- | well Tillmau wa? greeted with luud cheering. Tlio South Carolinian auid he waa glad to come from the North, reeking with slavery und cor ruption, to be with his people in the South, poor but honest. " Wo down here aro locully free, but nationally slaves." The Democratic purty bo long held together in the South by fear of negro domination, was disiuto grutiug, because there waa no longer apprchoHuiou from t hut cause, but new issues were coming to tho front. The great light ahead ia how to keep down poverty and that oppreaaion which con sisted in making money for aome other man to enjoy. The liuaueial conditions woro auch aa to favor the Northeastern aeetion of tho country. Tho Demo cratic party stood pledged to right " tho crime of 1S7."{," the de monetization of silver, and pledged to free ailver, hut when wo had a majoi ity in both houses there waa a President's veto in the way, and so tho erlmo of 187;$ remains unrightod. The Republi can party waa tho tool of tho monoy power. Tho Democratic party had al waya been committed to bimetallism, but when it did not fultil its pledges the Alliance came ulong and tuught that we would, no longer stand by Do j moeraey unless it did something. The speaker blamed the free silver " reform " element in tho other South ern States for not capturing the Demo cratic machinery in the State, as was done in South Carolina. Tho Alliance and Polk had tho Demoeratio party in North Carolina in their breeches pock et, but you wont out and lost. But the solid South was broken up in the last election. Jarvis and Uauaom went over the State trying to catch tho Senator ship, hut thisuyoung man (pointiug t Butler) oooned up a tree, got tho per simmou and away he went. (Groat ap plauao.) But with the breaking of tho South came the breaking of the aolid North. 1'ii atand by tue Democracy if it purifies itaelf, but I'll never follow thieves and rascals. It is the duty of tho people to con sider carefully the liuanciatoissuo and to follow whore their interests lead them. The old Puritans and their docoudants, aeting on tho principle that tho world was created for tho saints, and we are the saiuts, had gov erned this country long euough. Mr. Tillman thou wont into a long discussion of what money is. Carlisle says that law cannot alfect the value of a metal. That statement is absurd. Talk about liat money. Gold is us much liat, money as any other, and be cause the law makes it so, und silver luillion can't bo carried to the mint,and coined as gold, simply because the law forbids it. The old arguments of the ailvor men were gone over, that prices fell because of striking down silver, that silver was demonetized by a sneaking leg islation in 1873, that tho panic of '73 was the result. The national bunk question wus diacusaod. Tho speaker Epilepsy 20 Years. Cured by Dr. Miles' Nervine. A few years ago, Mr. L. W. Oallahor, waa an extensive, successful expert manu facturer of lumber products. Attacked with epilepsy, ho was obliged to ?Ivo up his busi ness. Tho attacks enmo upon him niost in opportunely. One time falling from n carri age, at another down stairs, and often In the street. Onco ho fell down a shaft In tho mill, his Injuries nearly proving fatal. Mr. Oallahor writes from Milwaukee, Feb. 10, '06. "Thoro aro nono moro miserable than epi leptics. For 20 years I suffered with opllop tic fits, having as high as flvo In ono night. I tried any number of physicians, pay lug to ono alone, a fee of $500.00 and have done little for years but search for something to help mo, and have taken all tho leadlug remedies, but received no benefit. A yearago my son. Ohas. 8. QaUahor, druggist at 191 Rood St., Milwaukee, gavo mo Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine, and I tried it with gratifying results. Have had but two fits since I began taking It. 1 am better now in overy way than I havo been In 20 years."

Cleveland and Carlisle came In for abuse for arranging the last boud issue j and letting England dictate the terms I of It. There is not euough money in the country. Metallic money has been stricken down and uutil we get It oaek we will suck the hi ml teat that has got no milk In It. (Laughter and ap plause.) Democratic pol*tieians howl ed for a long time about the taritT j Iniquity. Did Clovelund crll Congress ' together to repeal the high tariff or What is to be doue Y Can the Demo crats of the South and the Populists of the West get together? Wilt they let bygones be bygones and tight together agaiust Wall Btrcet? Wo have only eighteen months to work, und if de sirable men of ull parties don't come togother iu thut timo we will have our hands fastened in shackles. We will havo guld bunds forced ou us, and be tied hand and foot for a genorution. lie would work to huvo bis State put out an election tickot which would cast its vote for a dyed-in-tho-wool silvor man. A man east of the Mississippi would do. Western Republicans bate the namo of Democrats. Southern Democrats bate the name of Republi cans. Wo can't join the Populist party bocauso you havo too many cruuku ut your bead. to repeal the Sherman law Wo uro hero to consider- how to get together. If we in South Carolinu can't got u silver man for President in tho Democratic party, wo may have to tako ouo from tho Populist party. I would rathor havo P( ?>uliam with its cranky loaders than to follow tho false leaders in tho old party, who have proved traitors. North Carolina is overwhelmingly for silver as South Carolinais. They must stand togeth er. Their interests arc idontieal. Tillmau spoko about two hours and was followed by Senator Butler, of N ?rth Carolina, who made a free sil ver speech of the same length. ?There woro 10 of then, and they rat sido by side in the street ear, tilling up tho entire seat, all womou and sleeves, the latter just a little crushed. A lone man hung to u strap and waited for some one to got out, and finally one of them did. Then he looked for the vacant seat, but it had vanished. Soon another woman got out, md attain there was no Beat. Every time a woman left a vacant scat, thoso other women simply pulled out theii-slooves a id moved up. jp ULK CURB a New ami Complete Treatment, eonslstlnv <> 30PPO8IT?RIKS, Capsules of Ointment nml tve? lioxettof Ointment. a never-falltiiK Cur? for Pile ? >f every unturo nn.l degree.
