think of it, my Georgia friends; G0,000

should not every cotton growing county

sand bales annually and surely our farm
ers can build mill large enough to
manufacture it and double its value.

Tho Old Methods OF Treating Piles and
Rectal Diseases Supplanted by the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure

Tho Old Methods of Treating Piles AM
Rectal Diseases Supplanted by the Pyra
mid Pile Cure
The old methods of treating piles
by ligature, by the knife or by the
cruel methods CT dilatation, besides
causing intense pain and frequent
ly collapse and death, are now
known to be but mere makeshifts
as far as a cure is concerned.
The liver is responsible for near
ly every case of piles and the mis-
take has been made of treating piles
as a purely local disease. Such is
not the case however, and the sue
cess of the new treatment known
as the Pyramid Pile Cure has dem
onstrated it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a
salve or ointment but suppository
which is applied at night and abb
sorbed into the sensitive rectal
membrane and acts both as local
and a constitutional treatment, and
in Eases of many years standing
this treatment has been effectual.
Thousands of pile sufferers bear
witness to the inestimable value or
the Pyramid and even those who
have undergone surgical operations
without cure have been happily
surprised by results from few
weeks treatment with the Pyramid.
The relief from pain is SO imme-
diate that patients sometimes I'M
agine that the Pyramid contains
opiates or cocaine because the relief
is so instantaneous, but the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure is guaranteed abso-
lutely free from opiate or mineral
poison whatever.
The relief is the result of the
astringent properties of the remedy
which causes the little timors and
congested blood vessels to contract
and a normal circulation is es-
tablished.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly
scientific, both in its composition
and in its therapeutic action and
the best feature of it is that it is
perfectly safe and harmless. No
i'll effects ever result from It's use,
but only positive benefit.
A singular fact, in view OF the large
number OF patent medicines before
the public is that the Pyramid is
the only Pile cure of national rep
utation. Tt is the only pile cure
popular enough and meritorious
enough to be found in every drug
store in the United States. Tt sells
at so cents for a full size package.
