THE ONE SURE WAY.



The only sure way to cure every form
Of piles Is 20 use remedy like che Pyra.
mid Pile Curc, which = applied directly
10 the parts affected. and It's wonderful
healing effects are apparent from the
FIRST application. because its medicinal
properties are rapidly absorbed right
where needed, by the delicate tissues and
sensitive membranes OF the fectum The
cure ~ natural and easy and almost be-
fore the patient "a ware Of Il every truce
Of piles has left him.
This d one reason why the Pyramid
Pile Cure has been 80 uniformly success
ful.
II is IN supposl,ory form. applied at
night directly 10 The diseased parts.
where II ID most needed and not by the
roundabout way Of tho stomach nor the
harsh, harbar0us methods Of surgical
operation.
Direct applications 70 the scat OF dis
ease Is the only common sense cure AMI
this j. fully accomplished by the Pyramid
Pile Cure.
II the voluntary testimony ot thous-
ands Is worth anything then no sufferer
should delay 10 giving this splendid
remedy az least a trial, as ~ costs but 81
cents az any drug store. and u guaran-
iecd absolutely safe and free from opiates
or cocaine so commonly found IN so-called
pile cures.
Nearly every druggist has some favor
!to pile cure on which he can make a
larger profit than he can on the Pyramid
and oftentimes 20 substitute. but when
IL remembered that the Pyramid File
Cure Il che only remedy for piles that has
4 national reputation and u sold by every
druggist Ia the United states and Canada,
II means something & means that no
remedy could do thi# unieea u possessed
nesliive unmlstalgabie merit.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has cured sisouf-
anas Of sufferers from the different
forms Of the disease, whether itching.
bleeding or protEudlng piles.
