Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quickly,
PainIessIy, without Danger.

People go along for years suffering with
piles. Then try this and that and the
other thing, from carrying a buckeye to
getting treatment from a physician They
obtain temporary relief. maybe, but they
are never quite cured. A little strain in
lifting. excessive fatigue, little consti-
patton or little diarrhoea, and the piles
come back
They don't seem to amount to much,
but they Danish sleep and appetite. No
position is comfortable. There is intense
local pain and that dreadful feeling of
weight in the perineum.
Maybe in the early stages some of the
many salves on sale will afford temporary
relief. If the case is of long standing,
there is only one speedy and sure remedy.
1t is Pyramid Pile Cure. Even in light
cases it is the safest thing to use. Other
applications may and may not. Pyr-
amid Cure is always certain, always relia-
Bile, always brings comfort at once Its
prompt use saves months of severe suffer
ing. In extreme cases it will save surgi-
cal operations and their attendant dan
gers and discomforts. 1t is better than a
knife. VIII cure easier, quicker and safer.
Thousands have used 1t. Thousands have
been cured by it. The cost Is trifiing
compared with what 1t does. The price IS
80 cents. Most anybody would gladly pay
$40 to be rid Of piles.
Druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure. If
yours hasn't 1t he will get 1t for you from
the Pyramid Drug Co. Of Marshall Mich.
