Bowen. told of the incident to-night to how that Venezuela had strong friends during her recent trouble. Carnegie intended the money as a loan, | but in his message to Bowen he made no tipulation as to security or the condi- tions of payment.

NERVOU;PHOS:I'RATION. | The Result of the Pain ¢-d Irritation From Hemorrhoids. Nervous Prostration is often the result of neglecting a case of hemorrhoids or piles; the pain and irritation attendant upon this disagreeable trouble incon- veniences and annoys one, but it is pos- sible to go to business and to do the or- dinary day's work, =o the trouble is neglected until the nerves become ex- hausted and the patient is a victim of nervous prostration. Hemorrholds cause a sensation of heat, tensfon and itching In a region where is Jocated the most sensitive nerves of the human eystem and the continued irrita- tion will eventually cause a collapse of the nerves. This would easily have been avoided if the patient had carefully treated the case of piles from their first appearance. No other trouble can be so quickly and safely overcome if treated in an carly stage, and-even If the case is an old one, there is a remedy which will act with remarkable results if faithfully ap- plied.
