A GREAT REMEDY.
For Sufferers from piles.


DR.. Redmond, q specialist in the
study and treatment of piles and rec
tai diseases. recently stated that the
Pyramid pile Cure. the new discovery
for the cure of piles was the most re-
markable remedy he had ever seen or
tried in one respect; and that was, the
instant relief experienced in all cases,
no matter how severe, from the mo-
ment the remedy was applied: this
was the more surprising to him, be-
cause he had carefully analysed the
preparation and no trace of opium, CO.
caine or similar poison could be de-
teCted
Physicians look with great favor
upon the Pyramid Pile Cure. because
it is rapidly taking the place of surgi-
cal operations and because it is so
simple, so easily applied and contains
no mineral or other poisons so COM
monty used in pile cures
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure not only cures the vari-
Gus forms of Piles, but never fails to
give immediate relief on the first APP
plication, no matter how severe the
pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important ad-
vantage is the fact that anyone can
use the remedy without detention from
business or Interference with daily oc-
cupation. Sold by druggists at so cents
per package.

of piles.
