tained by advertising campaigns in

in part; "Much of the lost motion

formed an iiperation and did all they
could for mo. For e time I was
certainly better, but within 12
reenths the trouble started again
and the piles became an painful es

tices, various 'pile cures,' and in-
deed everything 1 could think would
be likely te do any good, but still

"One day I mad about Zaen-Bult
anej thought I would ,try it. The
first one or 'two boxes gave one more
ease than anything else I had tried,
so I went on with the treatment.
In .a short time I began to feel al-
together different,and better,: and I
saw that Zam-Bult was going to

and by the time I had used six

His Sincerity and Probity.
I would $ay the outstanding featuto of
Colonel Matheaorea eharacter was his 'ab-
solute sineerity. If he made mistake::
they were mistaltbs +about which there
could be no suggestio» of crookedness or
double-dealing _or other unworthy motive.
This fact was eccogniked by oppositibn alo
well as by frimul. And while MS critics
frequently attaolced his judgment they
never ettacked his probity.
Colonel Matheson was not a great orator.
Tie spoke in a high Icy, and whir eonsiti-
erable effort. Rut hie seeeches were made
interesting' ancl carried weight beeause of
the sineerity and the conviction behind
them.
A bachelor to the end of his days, Col-
onel Matheson was frequently made the
