Pile Sufferers
Your itching, bleeding, or protrud-
ing piles will go and not come back
when you actually remove the cause-
bad blood circulation in the lower
bowel—and' not one minute before.
Salves or supipositar•ies can't do this-
an internal remedy must be used.
II`FJIil-IRIOIIID, pre'scription of Dr. J. S.
Leonlhardt, succeeds because it stim-
dta'tes the circulation, drives out the
thick impure 'blood, heals and restores
the almost dead parts. HIElM.Ii1OI)D

cess in even the most stubborn Gases
that Chas. Atberhart and druggists ev
erywhere urge every sufferer to get a

scarcely knew what to do. He climb -

"Did you ever have any experience's
with srnakes?" she was asked,
"Several" replied Miss Heald,

of which are poisonous. That and the
presence o'f, wild animals made ary

anywhere into long grass out there to

"How' aboutt cobras "
"I once had an experience with a
co'br'a which might have 'cost me my
life, said the lady. "You may take
my word for it that cobras really can
and do squirt venom at their victims
on occasion. When I was w'alkin'g in
the garden of our house one day I
saw what iI had taken to be a dry
stick suddenly rear up and expose the
wide hood of a cobra with two beadyr
black eyes. Then' 'the snake hissed,
and as it did so, I' felt some liquid on
my bare arm. AS the cobra squirmed
away I looked at my arm which was
covered with a watery fluid which
was cobra venom. Had my arm been
cut I might have died and the colonel
assured .me that had d bent down to
Pick up a Stone I would have re-
ceived the venom in my eyes and sure-
ly would have been blinnded. The
snake' was about eight feet away when
it shot- at me—fortunately a little too
far away to strike with its 'fangs or I
should not be here now. On another
occasion I looked out of the door to.

of the children's playhouse whic'h it
was seeking to enter by a small hole.
Itt would 'almost certainly, have killed

were behind some mosquito curtains.
'Don't thin is that snakes can't climb:"
"Trader Horn was filmed mostly in
the country surrounding a large cof-
fee estate, not far from the town of
Nairdbi," related Miss Heald•"T'he
country *fairly swarms with wild ani-
mals ,and looking down from the ver-
andah of the house I livted in above
the Ntairdbl plains, which are covered
with lo'n'g grass and dotted with thorn
trees, you can see game almo's't any
time: There are sprinulabok, hartbeest,
wildlbleest, giraffes, zebras, -ostriches,
buffalo, wild pigs, and to prey on
,the'm are l'ion's, leopard's, hyenas and
wild dogs. Any Wright right on the
outskirts of Nairobi, one may hear
the cries ;orf the wild lbeasits as they
'hunt their quarry, and an ox or cow

limes alter 'dark, The lights and auto-
mobiles in 'N'airolbi keep ,animals from
venturing on .the streets, but houses
even on the outskirts all have their
windows heavily 'barred to keep out
avitd an'imals. Leop'ard's are death on
clogs and one night a leopard came
right up on our verandah 'and tried to
carry off a big dog. It is in seateh of
dogs rather than hu'man's that they
'seek to enter houses. I 'kne'w of. one
case where a lady driving ,un an open,
automobile felt the little d'ogs on her

hair-raising experience • She jumped

not long ago, but which is now an of-
fence visited by punishment from the
authorities. Dr. Irvine's native'order-
