DOING GOOD EVERYWHERE.
A Medical Discovery That ERectuaI-
Iy Cures Piles in Every Form,

For many years physicians have ex-
perimented in vain, seeking a remedy
which would effettually cure piles and
other rectal troubles, without resorting
to surgical operation. Many remedies
were found to give temporary relief, but
none could be depended upon to make
a lasting, satisfactory cure.
Within a recent period, however, new
remedy, the Pyramid Pile, Cure, has been
repeatedly tested in hundreds of cases
and with highly satisfactory results
The first effect of the Pyramid Pile
Cure is to instantly remove the pain and
irritation generally present and from that
time on the cure rapidly progresses and
before the patient is hardly aware Of it
he is entirely cured. The remedy seems
to act directly on the nerves and blood
vessels of the parts affected as 1t comes
into direct contact with them and sets
up a healthy action, which in a per-
fectly natural way brings the parts to
their normal condition.
The remedy does it's work without any
pain or inconvenience to the sufferer and
IS Justly considered one of the most mer-
itorious discoveries of modern medicine
Piles is one of the most annoying and
often times dangerous diseases with
which humanity is afflicted. If neglected
IT frequently develops into Fistula or
some equally fatal or incurable trouble.
whereas by the timely use of this simple
but effective remedy no one need suffer
a single day from any form of piles un-
less they want to.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is perfectly
harmless, containing no mineral poisons
and is also very reasonable in price,
costing but one dollar a package 1t
is sold in drug stores everywhere The
manufacturers of the remedy are the
Pyramid Drug Co. of Marshall, Mich,
who have placed this excellent prepara-
ton before the public only after giving
IL thorough and repeated tests in the
hands OF reputable physicians. The re-
suits ia hundreds of cases have con-
vinceA us that it will not disappoint you.
