Surgical Operations for the
Cure of Piles and Rectal
Diseases.
NO LONGER NECESSARY.
A Medical Discovery Which
Will Change the Treat
ment of All Such
Diseases.

1t has long been thought not only
by some physicians, but 10y people in
general. that the common, painful
and exceedingly annoying trouble.
piles, was practically incurable by
any other means than a surgical OPP
Grafton, and this belief has been the
cause of years of needless suffering,
because OF the natural dread of sur.
gical operations.
There are many salves, ointments
and similar remedies on the market
which afford some relief in cases of
piles. but the Pyramid Pile Cure is
the only preparation so far intro
duced that can be reliably depended
upon to cure to stay cured, every
form of itching, bleeding or pro-
truding piles.
Mrs. NJ. G. Hinkley of COL Missis-
sippi street. Indianapolis, was told
by her physicians that nothing but a
surgical operation costing between
500 and $500 could cure her, as
she had suffered for Is years; vet
even in such a case as hers the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure accomplished COM
plete cure. She SAYS: IL knew an
operation would be death to me and
tried the Pyramid with very little
hope and it is not to be wondered at
that l am so enthusiastic in its
praise"
Maj. Dean, of Columbus, Ohio,
says he suffered for 40 years from
piles and 20 years from itching piles
and in his case two packages of the
Pyramid cured him.
ID. f Reed, of South Lyons, Mich,
says II would not take $500 and be
placed back where l was before
used the Pyramid Pile Cure. l sui.
fered for years and it is now Is
months since l used it. and not the
slightest trace of the trouble has re.
turned.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
nearly all druggists at so cents and

No one need suffer from piles in
any form who will give this excel
lent remedy a trial. Made by tn,

after working hard all day on a roadway
down the bluff. A narrow wooden foot
bridge had been put up across the swiftly

over the stony path and waded ankle

White, a boy who came from Toronto to
be at the fight.
The battle ground was a sandy fiat upon

Mexican side. Itwas just two miles from
the village OF Langtry. In the center Of
a canvas wall about 200 feet in diameter
the ring was pitched. Tho board floor was
