NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS
One Cause of Sleeplessness That Can
be Overcome.

Mr.. Wm. Handschu. of 46th street,
Cotton Alley, Pittsburg, Pa, expresses
himself as follows regarding the new
remedy for that common and obstinate
disease. piles: Il take pleasure in stat
ing that | was so afflicted with piles
that for three months | got no regular
sleep; l became completely Frustrated,
the doctors did me no good; my brother
told me of the new remedy for piles,
the Pyramid Pile Cure; | purchased of
my druggist three so cent boxes and
they completely cured me. l am once
more at work and but for this eXCell-
ent remedy / would be on my back
l take great pleasure in writing this
letter because so many people are suf-
ferers from this trouble who like my
self did not know where to look for
permanent, safe, reliable cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile
Cure for the past three years has de-
monstrated to the medical profession as
well as to thousands of sufferers from
piles that it is the safest and most
effectual pile cure ever offered to the
public. containing no Opiates or pOis-
ons Of any kind, painless and cOnven-
lent TO handle, and being sold by drug
gists at SOC, and Sl.0O per box, is within
the reach of every sufferer.
Very often two or three boxes have
made complete cure Of chronic cases
that had not yielded To other remedies
for years.
There is scarcely a disease more ag-
gravating and obstinate 10 cure than
the various forms Of piles and it is
common practice to use ointments,
salves and similar preparations con-
tanning dangerous poisons to remove
the trouble. The Pyramid has super
seded all of these Intellectual remedies
and no one suffering with any rectal
trouble will make any mistake in giving
the Pyramid trial.
If in doubt as to the nature OF your
trouble send to The Pyramid Drug Co.,
Marshall, Mich, for a valuable book on
piles, describing all forms OF the dis
ease and describing the method of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid
Pile Cure as IL is the best known and
most popular remedy for piles and IL
you ask him he can doubtless refer you
TO many people in your own vicinity
who have been cured completely by il.
