CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One of the Best Features of the New
pile Cure.

The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all forms
OF piles without one particle of pain. This
desirable point is not obtained by the use
OF Injurious opiates which simply deaden
and paralyze the nerves of the parts and
make matters worse in the long run. But
IL is done solely by its remarkable heal
ing and soothing effects.
And while ii thus gives immediate relief,
at the same time the disease is not merely
checked. but u radical cure is accom-
plished.
And the point we want to make clear Is.
that all this Is done without a particle of
pain.
This fact is one great reason for the
popularity Of the Pyramid Pile Cure and
constitutes one very great difference be-
tween 1t and almost any ether treatment
for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is eXcruciatingly painful besides en-
dangerng the life of the patient, and in
most cases is not 10 be compared with the
Pyramid Pile Cure. neither in making
successful cures without pain nor in
cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been before
the public 50 long, and its merits recOg-
nized by too many people TO allow il TO be
classed with the many salves, supposito-
res, pills, etc, and you run no risk in
trying It, as it IL often the case with
untred preparations.
II you are ever troubled with any form
Of piles or rectal disease do not forget the
Pyramid Pile Cure. Prepared by the
Pyramid Drug Company. Of Marshall,
Mich. and sold by druggists at 50 cents
per package.
