know that ii is all that is claimed for it.
1 had been troubled with piles more or
less for about eighteen years and l had
tried other remedies, but the piles grew
worse until about ten months ago l used
the Pyramid Pile Cure. II gave almost
instant relief and I have been free from
piles ever since.-Rev. Jas. H. Westbrook.
Mr.. Frank Smith. the well known and
popular druggist of Ypsilanti. Mich, in
speaking of the Pyramid Pile Cure, says:
"A year ago l sold C. c. Potter, 1l9 Ham
ilton St, Ypsilantt, Mich. a box OF the
Pyramid Pile Cure. He made the follow
ing statement 10 me today1 1 have been
troubled for twenty years with itching
piles. Have tried nearly everything mat
promised relief, but got very little help
until one year ago I called on my drug
gist, Frank Smith, and got a box of the
Pyramid Pile Cure The one box used ac-
cording TO directions was, in my case, a
perfect cure, as a year spent without any
cs1-r1 rp+CF of ba frnrrb1a boe
