ONE or the BEST FEATURES
or the Pyramid Pile Cure

Is the fact that It cures every form of
piles without one particle OF pain. This
desirable point is not obtained by the
use OF injurious opiates which simply
deaden and paralyze the nerves OF the
parts and make matters worse in the
long run. But it is done solely by its
remarkable healing and soothing effect,
And while il thus gives immediate re-
lief. at the same time the disease is not
merely checked but - radical cure is
rapidly accomplished.
And the point we want to make clear
is that all this is done without q parti-
Gle OF pain.
This fact Is one reason for the great
popularity OF the Pyramid Pile cure
and constitutes one very great differ
ence between IL and almost any other
kind OF treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is cNcruciatingly painful besides
cndangcrlng the life of the patient and
i'm most cases Is not 10 be compared
with the Pyramid Cure, neither I'm MAX
ing successful cures without pain nor
I'm chcapncss and safety.
The Pyramid Pile cure has been be-
fore the public too long. and its merits
recognized by too many people to allow
IL To be classed with the many salves.
suppositories. pills. etc, and YOU run
no risk In trying IL. as Is often the case
with new and untried preparations.
II you are ever troubled with any
form OF piles or rectal disease do not
forget the Pyramid Pile cure. Pre-
pared by the Pyramid DRUG Co. Mar.

skilfully have the gardeners interwo-

exclude the frosty air. but the struct-

wealth of artistic merit.
