bleeding piles

And all other forms of this common and
often dangerous disease readily cured with
out pain or inconvenience.
Thousands of men and women are af-
ficted with some sort of piles, without
either knowing the exact nature OF the
trouble, or knowing IL, are careless enough
to allow II to run without taking the SIM
pie means offered for a radical cure.
The failure of salves and ointments to
permanently cure piles has led many to
believe the only cure to be a surgica,
operation.
Surgical operations are dangerous to life
and moreover not often entirely successful
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 q
Pittsburg gentleman. severe sufferer
from bleeding piles, gives some idea of the
prompt effectual character OF this pile cure.
He writes;
l take pleasure writing these few lines
to let you know that | did not sleep for
three months except for a short time each
night, because OF a bad case OF bleeding
piles. | was down in bed and the doctors
did me no good. A good brother told me
of the Pyramid Pile Cure and I bought
from my druggist three fifty-cent bottles.
They cured me and | will soon be able to
go to my work again.
William Handschu,
46 St.. Cotton Alley. below Butter Street.
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 it and what 1t will do.

describing all forms OF piles and the proper
treatment
The Pyramid can be found at all drug
stores at 50 cents per package.
