TCHING PILES AND OrHER RECT AL

A Remarkable Number OF Cures Made by
the Pyramid Pile urc.

About one person In every four suffers

most common and annoying Is itching

ure and intense. uncomfortable itching in
the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some sim
pie ointment or salve which sometimes
gives temporary relief. but nothing like
permanent cure can be expected from
such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered Is the Pyramid Pile

every other form OF piles. blind. bleeding
or protruding. The first application gives
instant relief and tile continued use for
short time causes a permanent remov-
al OF the tumors or the small parasites
which cause the intense itching and dis
comfort OF itching piles.
Many physicians for :. long time Pup
posed that the remarkable relief afforded
by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because II
was supposed to contain cocaine, opium
or similar drugs. but such is not the case.
a recent careful analysis Of the remedy
showed 1t 10 be absolutely free from any
cocaine. opium. or IN fact any poisonous.
injurious drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
Is probably the only pile cure extensively
recommended by physicians. because il il

and so far as known the only positive
cure for piles excepet a surgical opera
ton.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has
become the best known. the safest and

before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell It at Scots
