CARELESSNESS.
)ften Causes no End of Suffering.

Probably half the people who see this
article suffer from Piles. 1t is one of
the commonest diseases and one of the
most obstinate. People have 1t Tor
years and just because it is not I'M
mediately fatal they neglect 1t. Care
lessness causes no end of suffering,
Carelessness about so simple a thing
as piles has often caused death. Hem
mortgages occur during surgical treat
mcnt, often causing death.
Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even
in the worst stages, without pain or
loss of blood, quickly, surely and COM
pletely. There is only one remedy that
will do it-Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t allays the inflammation imme-
diately, heals the irritated surface and
with continued treatment reduces the
swelling and puts the membranes into
good. sound, healthy condition. The
cure is thorough and permanent. Drug
gists sell the Pyramid Pile Cure at sc
cents. Send for Free book on cause
and cure of Piles by addressing Pyra-
