THINK THIS OVER.
A Rational Remedy for a National
Trouble.

To say that hemorrhods or the disease
commonly known as piles is national
disease may be slightly overdrawn, but Il
Is quite certain that az least one IN every
four persons is SO afflicted
Because IL is common aud not immedi-
ately fatal many suffer for years without
giving tho trouble medical attention.
Moreover. the rather general impression
that 2 surgical operation Is the only cure,
has much to do with delaying attention
until the disease becomes deep seated and
chronic.
sufferers from piles should know that
the Pyramid Pile Cure is better than a
surgical operation: Il cures without pain
1t causes no detention from business and
the cost is trihing all druggists selling II
at ~ cents per package.

The principal danger from piles is tho
liability e. chronic liberation Of the rectal

tation. All these symptoms the Pyramid
