NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS
One Cause of fsieepicssncss That Can
lie Readily Overcome.

Mr.. VIM. Handschu of seth ST., Cot
ton Alley, Pittsburg, Pa, expresses
himself as follows regarding the new
remedy for that common and obstinate
disease, piles: 81 take pleasure in
stating that l was afflicted with piles
that for three months l got no regular
sleep; 1 became completely Frustrated,
the doctors did me no good; my brother
told me of the new remedy for piles,
the Pyramid Pile Cure; / purchased
from my druggist three so cent bottles
and they completely cured me. 1 am
once more at my work but for this ex-
cellent medicine / should be on my
back. I take great pleasure in writ
ing this letter because so many people
are sufferers from this trouble who like
myself did not know where to look for
a permanent, reliable, safe cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile
Cure in the past three years has DEM
onstrated to the medical profession,
as well as to thousand of sufferers
from piles, that 1t is the safest and
most effectual cure ever offered to the
public, containing no opiates or poisons
of any kind, painless and convenient
to handle and being sold by druggists
at so cents and 81 per box, Is within
the reach of every sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes
have made a complete cure of chronic
cases that had not yielded to other re-
NEEDLES for years
There is scarcely a disease more ag-
gravating and obstinate to cure than
the various forms of piles and it is a
common practice to use ointments,
salves and similar preparations con-
tanning dangerous poisons to remove
the trouble. The Pyramid has sup
erceded all IL these Intellectual rem
edies and no one suffering with any
rectal trouble make any mistake in
giving the Pyramid a trial.
If in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co.
Albion, Mich. for valuable little
book on piles, describing all forms OF
the disease and the method Of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid
Pile Cure as 1t Is the best known and
most popular remedy for piles and II
you ask him he can doubtless refer you
to many people in your vicinity who
have been cured completely by it.
