Pyramid Pile Cure, Cures Piles
, Quickly, Painlessly, With
out 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 re-
lief, maybe, but they are never quite
cured. A little strain in lifting, ex-
cessive fatigue, a little constipation 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 per!neum.
Maybe in the early stages some of
the many salves on sale will afford
temporary relief II the case is of long
standing, there is only one speedy and
sure remedy, Ii is Pyramid Pile Cure.
Even in light cases it is the safest
hing to use. Other applications may

W IS certain, always reliable. always
brings comfort at once. Its prompt use
saves months OF severe suffering. In
extreme cases IL will save surgical op-
erations and their attendant dangers
and discomforts. II is better than a
knife. VIII cure easier, quicker and
safer. Thousands have used IT, Thous-
ands have been cured by it. The cost
is trifiing compared with what II
does The price Is 80 cents. Most any
body would gladly pay ten dollars to
be rid of piles.
