BLEEDING PILES

And all other forms Of this COM
mon and often dangerous disease
readily cured without pain or incon-
venience.
Thousands of men and women are
afflicted with some sort of piles, with
out either knowing the exact nature
of the trouble, or, knowing it, are
careless enough to allow it to run
without taking the simple means of
fered for radical cure.
The failure of salves and ointments
to permanently cure piles has led
many to believe the only cure to be a
surgical operation.
Surgical operations are dangerous to
life and, moreover, not often entirely
successful, and at this time are no
longer used by the best physicians or
recommended by them.
The safest, surest and best
way to cure any case Of piles,
whether blind, bleeding or pro-
tubing, is to use the Pyramid
Pile cure, composed of healing veget-
able oils, and absolutely free from
mineral poisons and op1ates. The fol-
lowing letter from Pittsburg gen.
tleman, severe sufferer from bleed
ing piles, gives some Idea or the
prompt, effectual character of this
pile cure. He writes:
I take pleasure writing these few
lines to let you know that / did not
sleep for three months except for a
short time each night, because Of a
bad case Of bleeding piles l was down
in bed and the doctors did me no
good. A good brother told me of the
Pyramid Pile Cure and l bought from
my druggist three fifty cent boxes.
They cured me and | soon will be able
to go to my work again.
WILLIAM HANDSCHU,
46 ST., Cotton Ally, below Butter ST.,
Pittsburg, Pa.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not only
the safest and surest remedy for piles,
but is the best known and the most
popular. Every physician and druggist
in tne country knows it and what it
will do.
Send for little book on cause and
cure of piles, describing all forms of
piles and the proper treatment.
The Pyramid can be found at all
drug stores at so cents per package.
