IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD.
A NEW DISCOVERY WHICH is WORTH
THAT MUCH.
To Auy On. Afflicted with Piles

The Pyramid Pile Cure, the new, pain
less remedy, which has been so remark
ably successful in curing every form OF
piles and rectal diseases, has recently
been placed on sale at druggists and il
IS safe to say that when its eXtraordi-
nary merit becomes fully known, thsre
will be no such thing as surgical opera
tons for the cure OF this obstinate and
common trouble.
Mrs u. c. Hlnkly OF sol Mississippi
81, indianapolis, Ind, says: l had been
terrible sufferer from piles for fifteen
years and no remedies benefited me,
until L saw an advertisement ot the
Pyramid Pile Cure; 1 got a package,
also a package OF Pyramid Pills and
used both according 10 directions. 1
was astonished at the immediate relief
obtained and now L honestly believe the
pyramid 10 be the only certain cure for
piles
That you may realize how bad / was,
I Will say that 1 was confined 70 my bed
an3 Went before the college physicians
here who said my case was a new one
10 them and wanted seven or eight nun
dred dollars 10 undertake a cure; the
great pain had brought on a rupture.
and l knew an operation would be death
to me on account Of blood poisoning.
Nearly everyone mere knows of my ter
ri0le suffering from pitts, and l feel
that 1 cannot praise the Pyramid Pile
Cure enough and the Pyramid Pills also.
My husband will join me in highly rec
ommending the Pyramid; my daughter
was cured by one box only. For several
years L weighed but about 80 pounds,
now L weigh 80 and feel in perfect
health.
This seems TO be the universal tes-
timony Of every sufferer from plies who
has ever tried the Pyramid; il is the
safest, most painless pile cure yet dis
covered; contains no opiate, morphine.
cocaine or any poisonous ingredient
whatever, has a soothing, healing effect
from the first applicati0 and the mod
crate price places il within the reach OF
everyone needing treatment. The Pyra-
mid Pile Cure is sold by druggists at
80 cents and s1.O0 per package and the |
Pyramid Pills at % cents per box.
