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

The study of physicians, the expert
ments of chemists, the loudly adver-
tised pretensions OF quacks, have been
for years expended in one direction;
to find a pile cure that will cure.
The results have been a number of
harmless, and in most cases useless
ointments, suppositories and even in
ternal remedies, which the public have
weighed in the balance of experience
and found wanting; nearly all Of them
gave some relief, but nothing approach
ing a radical cure resulted from these
preparations.
The remedy required Is one that inn
mcdiately stops the pain so severe in
most cases of piles, and then by con-
tracing the small blood vessels (capil-
laries) to their normal size, produces
radical cure by reducing and finally
absorbing the tumors and healing the
inflamed, raw mucous surfaces.
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 distressing trouble
1t has rapidly become famous through
is now sold by nearly all druggists un-
der the name Of the Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t Is now the best known. because its
merit and safety have advertised 1T
wherever used. 1t has been advertised
by word of mouth from one sufferer to
another; people who had tried every
thing else, even submitting to painful
and dangerous surgical operation with
out 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 80 cents and $100 per package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all pain
and at the same time contain no cocaine
morphine or narcotics. the acids and
healing properties contained in the re-
medy speedily remove, cause a health
ful, natural contraction and absorption
of tumors; it will cure any form of
rectal trouble except cancer and ad-
vanced fstula, which by the way
nearly always result from neglecting
proper and timely treatment for piles.
As above stated, can furnish you with
the Pyramid Pile cure at so cents for
ordinary size or $lO0 for large package

Miller's "Heartsease. A"

1t is said that Henry Miller in his
costume of Eric Temple in Hearts
ease which he plays in this city at
the Lyceum, Thursday, Feb. Q, Is a
striking resemblance to the best known
portraits of the Composer Mozart. II
may be that some similarity of feature
and, as the action of the play occurs
at the time when Mozart was at the
height of his fame, the similarity oi
costumes is responsible for this idea
1t may be not out of the way TO state
in this connection that there are no ab-
sOlutely correct pictures of, Mozart be-
lieved to be in existence. The fact that
the character Mr.. Miller assumes IS
that of young musical composer may
also have its influence in the supposed
similarity "Heartsease," which was
the first play Mr.. Miller as a star, pre-
sented to the public, is the work OF
Charles Klein, who is well known Il
the public as Sousa's librettist with
the opera eel Captain" and of j. /. c.
