DOINGGOOD EVERYWHERE
A Medical Discovery that EHectunIly
Cures Piles in Every Form.

-
Cures Piles In Every Form.
For many years physicians have expert
mented In vain, seeking a remedy which
would effectually cure piles and other rectal
troubles, without resort!ng to O surgical
operation. Many remedies were found to
give temporary relief. but none could be
depended upon to make a lasting, s~atisfac-
tory cure.
Within a recent period. however. a new
remedy, the Pyramid Pile Cure, has been re-
peatedly tested in hundreds OF cases and
with highly satisfactory results,
The first effect of the Pyramid Pile Cure Is
to instantly remove the pain and irritation
generally present and from that time on the
cure rapidly progresses and before the
patient Is hardly aware of 1t he is entirely
cured. The remedy seems to act directly
on the nerves and blood vessels OF the parts
affected as 1t comes into direct contact with
them and sets up a healthy action. which In
a perfectly natural way brings the parts to
Their normal condition.
The remedy does its work without any
pain or Inconvenience to the sufferer and is
Justly considered one OF the most merltori-
Gus discoveries of modern medicine.
Piles Is one of the most annoying and
| often times dangerous diseases with which
humanity is afflicted. If neglected 1t fire.
quently develops into Fistula or some equally
fatal or incurable trouble, whereas by the
timely use OF this simple but effective remedy
no one need suffer a single day from any
form Of piles unless they want TO.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is perfectly harm
less. containing no mineral poisons and Is
also very reasonable in price, costing but
one dollar a package. 1t IS sold In drug
stores everywhere. The manufacturers OF
the remedy are the PYRAMID Drug Co. OF
Albion, Mich, who have placed this excel
| lent preparation before the public only after
| giving II thorough and repeated tests In the
hands OF reputable physicians. The results
in hundreds of cases have convinced US that
II will not disappolnt you.
