MERIT MAKES IT FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy in. the World. Ex-
cept q Surgical Operation, That VIII
Certainly Cure Any Form of Piles.


Certainly Cure Any Form of Piles.
The study Of physicians, the experiments
of chemists. the loudly advertised preten-
sions OF quacks, have been for years ex-
pended in one direction: to find pile cure
that will cure.
The results have been a number of HARM
less, and in most cases useless ointments,
suppositories and even internal remedies,
which the public have weighed In the bal
ance of experience and found wanting;
nearly all Of them gave some relief, but
nothing approaching radical cure resulted
from these preparations.
F The remedy required is one that immed-
cases of piles. and then by contracting the
small blood vessels lcapillaries) to their
normal size produces a radical cure by re-
ducing and finally absorbing the tumors
and healing the infiamed, raw mucous sur
faces.
Until two years ago. no such remedy had
been produced. but at that time suppository
was placed upon the market, which has
since proven itself to be the long sought
permanent cure for this common and dis
tressing, trouble; it has rapidly become IA
nous throughout the United States and
Canada, and is now sold by nearly all drug
gists under the name of the Pyramid Pile
Cure.
1t Is now the best known, because its
merit and safety have advertised it wher-
ever used. 1t has been advertised by word
people who had tried everything else, even
submitting to painful and dangerous surgi-
cal operations without avail. finally have
found that piles may be cured without pain
and without expense, practically. as the
| Pyramid Pile Cure is sold for the nominal
price of 30 cents and s1.OO per package.
