COMMON DISEASES
Piles, Fistuia and Inhammatory Con-
ditions of tho Hectum.

The troubles so annoying and dam
gcrous to hea ~ a~e 'mong ihn CONF
monest with which humanity is af-
Eictcd.
We are, therefor, pleased to an
nouncc that modern research In mcdi-
cal science has at last produced a GER
tain cure for them aud as usual with
all great and meritorious inventions,
is simple and the only wonder is that
such remedy was not discovered and
used years ago.
The remedy we refer to is known as
the Pyramid Pile cure. 1t is not an
ointment nor salvc, liquid nor inter-
nal remedy, but is applied directly to
the scat of the disease and produces
a cure in a surprisingly short space of
time.
For itching piles a few applications
produces a complete cure, while for
bleeding. protruding and all other
forms of rectal diseases It's use will re-
suit in permanent cure even in cases
where an operation has failed.
The Pyramid Pile cure is painless
to use and relieves all pain at once.
All druggists keep it or will get it for
you. 1t is prepared by the Pyramid
Drug Co, of Marshal, Mich, who will
send you full particulars of the cause
and cure of piles, also testimonials
from every section of the country or If
your druggist has the remedy on hand
you will find the treatise on piles and
testimonials in each package of the
remedy.
A trial will convince you that the
Pyramid Pile Cure is a specific for
every form of rectal disease and 1t is
guaranteed to contain no mineral
poisons nor injurious ingredients so
often resorted to in treating piles Sold
by druggists at 80 cents
