No More
Rheumatism

1t is absolutely impossible to
have rheumatism if the Blood
is pure. The acids which cause
the disease cannot exist in rich,
healthy blood. The reason so
many thousands fail to get rid
of Rheumatism is because they
try to cure it with liniments and
external applications of one kind
or another.
The Blood cannot be reached
from the outside. Rheumatism
cannot be cured that way. A
person may try lifetime, but
the disease will not yield to such
treatment; it will, on the other
hand, grow worse each year.

you CgnNoT CURE PILES
BY Internal Remedies

The only sure way to cure every form
of piles is TO use a remedy like the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure which is applied directly to
the parts affected and its wonderful heal-
ing effects are apparent from the first an
piication because the medicinal pronerties
are rapidly absorbed by tissues and sensi-
tive membranes of the rectum. and the
cure is made speedy and almost before rhe
patient is aware of it, every trace of nile,
has left him..
This is one of the reasons why the pvra.
mid Pile Cure has been so uniformly sue
cessfuL 1t is applied directly Just where
it is needed and where it will do the most
good. Not by the roundabout way of tha
stomach nor by the harsh, harbarous
methods of various surgical operations
and so-called systems.
Direct application to the seat of disease
is the only rational way. and this is f,llv
accomplished by the Pyramid Pile Cure.
If the voluntary testimony of thousands
who have tried this remedy is worth any,
thing then no sufferer has any excuse for
longer delaying in giving 1t a fair trial
knowing that when you do so the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure will have made one mors
friend the best possible advertisement we
can have. The chief advantages of the
remedy are: 1t cures without pain. the
cure is lasting, it contains no poison, and
lastly. il is the cheapest and quickest cure
yet found. Your druggist can tell you
what it has done for Others. Sold by
druggists at sec and 81 per package.
