IN A FEW WORDS.
Sufferers from Piles May Learn Of a
Harmless, Lasting Cure.

There are plenty of pile cures which
give relief and sometimes cure a mild
case of piles, but there is only one
which can be depended upon with GER
tainty to cure obstinate, long standing
cases and that is the Pyramid Pile
Cure.
Endorsements and testimonials are
received daily from men and women
whose integrity and reliability are
above question and In this connection
a letter received from the Rev. Jas. ii.
Wesbrook, of Bovine, Mich, may be
of interest TO pile sufferers who have
sought in vain for a cure. He says
have used the Pyramid Pile Cure
and know that II Is all that Is claimed
for it. I had been troubled with piles
more or less for about eighteen years
and 1 had tried other remedies, but the
piles grew worse until about ten
months ago I used the Pyramid Pile
Cure 1t gave me almost instant relief
and I have been free from piles ever
since.-Rev Jas. H. Wesbrook
Mr.. Frank Smith, the well-known
Potter, 119 Hamilton street Ypsilonti,
Mich, in speaking of the Pyramid Pile
Cure says: "A year ago l sold c. G.
Potted. 119 Hamilton street, Ypsilanti,
Mich, box of the Pyramid Pile cure.
| He made the following statement to me
today: II have been troubled fbr
twenty years with itching piles. Have
tried nearly everything that promised
relief. but got very little help until one
| year ago called on my druggist, Frank
Smith and got box of the Pyramid
Pile Cure. The one box used according
to directions was, in my case, perfect
cure as year spent without any symp-
toms of the trouble has convinced me-"
Although a comparatively new reme-
| dy, Its popularity Is such, that all drug
gists now sell it; If your druggist hasn't
! In stock, he will get 1t for you If you
ask him at 90 cents and $l.O0 per pack
