DOING GOOD EVERYWHERE.
A Medical Discovery That ETectuaiIy
Cures piles in Every Form

For many years physicians have expert
mented in vain. seeking a remedy which
would effectually cure piles and other rec
tai troubles. without rcsor,ing TO a surgi-
cal operation. Many remedies were found
TO give temporary relief. but none could
be depended upon % Ike a lasting, sat
lsfactory cure.
Within a recent period. however. a new
remedy, the Pyramid Pile Cure. has been
repeatedly tested in hundreds of cases and
with highly satisfactory results.
The first effect of the Pyramid Pile Cure
Is TO instantly remove the pain and irri-
tation generally present and from that
time on the cure rapidly progresses and
before the patient is hardly aware OF il
he is entirely cured The remedy seems TO
act directly on the nerves and blood YES
sells of the parts affected as 1t comes into
direct contact with them and sets up a
healthy action. which in a perfectly ma
tural way brings the parts TO their nor
NAL condition.
The remedy does its work without any
pain or inconvenience TO the sufferer and
IS justly considered one Of the mos, meri-
torious discoveries Of modern medicine.
Piles is one of the most annoying and
often times dangerous diseases with
which humanity rs afflicted. II neglected
II frequently develops into fistula or some
equally fatal or incurable trouble. where
as by the timely use OF this simple bur ef-
fective remedy no one need suffer a single
day from any form OF piles unless they
want 10.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is perfectly
harmless. containing no mineral poisons
and is also very reasonable in price. cost
ing but 50 cents a package. II is sold in
drug stores everywhere. The manufactur-
ers Of the remedy are the Pyramid Drug
Co. Of Marshall. Mich, who have placed
this excellent preparation before the pub
lie only after giving il thorough and re-
peated tests in the hands OF reputable
physicians. The results in hundreds OF
cases have convinced US that it Will not
oisappoint you.
