BLEEDING PILES

And all other forms of this common and
often dangerous disease readily cured
without pain or Inconvenience.
Thousands of men and women are af
flicted with some sort of piles, without
either knowing the exact nature of the
trouble, or knowing il, are careless enough
to allow il 10 run without taking the sim
pie means offered for radical cure.
The failure of salves and ointments to
permanently cure piles has led many to
believe the only cure to be a surgical op-
Grafton.
Surgical operations are dangerous to life
and, moreover, not often entirely success
full. and at this time are no longer used by
the best physicians or recommended by
them.
The safest and surest way to cure any
case of piles, whether blind, bleeding or
protruding, is to use the Pyramid Pile
cure. composed of healing vegetable oils,
and absolutely free from mineral poisons
and opiates. The following letter from a
Pittsburg gentleman, a severe sufferer from
bleeding piles, gives some idea of the
prompt effectual character of this pile
cure. He writes:
/ take pleasure writing these few lines
10 let you know that l did not sleep for
three months except for short time each
night because of "a bad case of bleeding
piles. j was down in bed and the doctors
did me no good. good brother tod me
of the Pyramid Pile Cure, and | bought
from my druggist three fifty-cent bottles.
They cured me, and I will soon be able to
go to my work again.
WILLIAM HANDSCHU,
46 St, Cotton Alley
Below Butter St, Pittsburg, Pa.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not only the
safest and surest remedy for piles, but is
the best known and most popular. Every
physician and druggist in the country
knows il and what il will do.
Send TO Pyramid Co., Marshall, Mich,
for little book on cause and cure of piles,
describing all forms of piles and the prop
er treatment.
The Pyramid can be found at all drug
stores at SO cents per package.

Quick Relief.

Patience time, and regular application
are necessary to cure all catarrhal diseases,
but there are many very disagreeable
symptoms that are relieved almost at once,
such as headache stuffiness of nose, bad
odor, hawking and splitting coughing
and gagging in the morning, nose bleed,
sleeping with mouth open, dry throat,
hoarseness, tickling cough, watery eyes,
hard scabs in nose, catching cold easily,
tired feeling, with drowsiness and low
spirits AS stated before, these symptoms
yield almost at once under the influence
of the Cowden- Riegel methods. In fact,
after only ten days or two weeks treat
ment, patients usually report a change for
the better taking place in their condition.
This does not mean that they are cured

What This Means.

1t means that DR.. Cowden has, even in
opposition to his own best financial inter-
ests, kept his promise to the public by
the acceptance of low fees, which has not
only enabled him to prove the curative
effects of his method, but has also allowed
people of very limited means TO enjoy the
benefits of treatment that has restored
their health after all else had failed, and at
price they could afford TO pay
1t means that the end of the small fee
for all diseases is at hand. and will posi-
lively not be extended beyond April /, ex-
cept to those who apply before that date.
This includes both old and new patients.
This announcement should be carefully
considered by all people suffering from any
