CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One OF the Best Textures of the New

The Pyramid Pile Cure cures every
form OF piles without one particle OF
pain. This desirable point Is not obtained
by the use of Injurious opiates. when
simply deaden and paralyze the nerves
OF the parts and make matters worse IN
the long run. But II Is done solely by It's
remarkable healing and soothing enects.
And while Il thus gives immediate re-
lief. az the same time the disease Is not
merely checked, but a radical cure Is
rapidly accomplished.
And the point we want TO make clear
ia that all this is done without a paru-
Gle OF pain.
This fact is one reason for the great
porularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure, ana
constitutes one very great difference De-
tween II and almost any other kind or
| treatment for piles.
Every kind OF surgical operation for
piles Is excruciatingiy painful besides en-
| dangering the life of the patient ana
