A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT.
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL.
TROUBLES EASILY CURED by A
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
\ Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by The Pyramid Pile Cnre

by the Pyramid Pile Cure.
About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying is itching
piles, indicated by warmth, slight mois-
ture, and intense. uncomfortable itching
in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some SIM
pie ointment or save which sometimes
gives temporary relief, but nothing like
permanent cure can be expected from
such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching piles
yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Cure.
not only for itching piles. but for every
other form of piles. blind. bleeding. or
protruding. The first application gives in
stant relief, and the continued use for a
short time causes Il permanent removal
of the tumorS or the small parasites which
cause the intense itching and discomfort
OF itching piles.
Many physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afforded
by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because
il was supposed to contain cocaine opium
or similar drugs. but such is not the case.
recent careful analysis of the remedy
showed it to be absolutely free from any
cocaine, opium, or, in fact any poisonous,
injurious drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure extensively
recommended by physicians, because it is SO
safe, so prompt in the relief afforded and
so far as known the only positive cure for
piles except a surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has
become the best known. the safest, and
the most extensively sold of any pile cure
before the public
Nearly all druggists now sell it at so
cents and 81 per package.

Notice to the Public

Beware of limitations OF Our eel
ebrated Mothers Bread.
Some unscrupulous bakers are
trying to palm off an inferior bread
for our celebrated Mothers Bread.
None is genuine unless it has the
words, Mothers Bread Just as
Mother made it," and Made by
Corby's, Oh every loaf.
Anything else is simply coun-
terfeit, and is much inferior in
quality. Our Bread is just like
cake. We use cream, sugar and
milk in our dough.
Mothers Bread is only made by
