The Old Methods of Treating piles
and Rectal Diseases SuPpIanted
BY the Pyramid Pic Eurr


by the Pyramid Pie Cure.
The old methods of treating piles by
iigature. by the knife. or by the cruel
methods Of dilatiOn. besides causing in
tense pain and frequently collapse and
death. are now known to be but mere
makeshifts as far as a cure is concerned
The liver is responsible for nearly every
case Of piles and the mistake has been
made Of treating piles as a purely local
disease. Such is not the case however.
and the success Of the new treatment
known as the Pyramid Pile Cure has de-
mOnstTated it,
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a saIve or
ointment. but suppository which is an,
piled at night and absorbed into the sensi-
tive rectal membrane and acts both as a
local and a constitutional treatment and
in cases Of many years standing this treat
ment has been edectual.
Thousands Of pile sufferers bear witness
to the inestimable value cf the Pvramij
and even those who have undergone surgi-
cal operations without a cure have been
happily surprised by results from a few
weeks treatment with the Pyramid
The relief from pain is so Immediate thar
patients sometimes imagine that the Pyra-
mid contains Opiates or cocaine because the
relief is SO instantaneous. but the Pyramid
Pile Cure is guaranteed absolutely free
from any cniEte or mineral poison what
ever.
The relief is the result Of the astringent
properties Of the remedy which causes the
little tuners and congested blood vessels
10 contract and a normal circulation is es-
tablishCd.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly scieD
tfC both in its composition and in its
therapeutic action. aud the best. feature OF
it is that it is perfectly safe and harm
less. no i'll effects ever result from its
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 reputation. 1t is the only
pile cure popular enough and meritOrious
enough TO be found in every drug store in
the United States. 1t sells at so cents a
package.

IL was evidently a compromise between

nation OF the others connected with The
counterfeiting.
The prosecution proposed 40 investigate
the plot further. as there was no doubt 10
was much larger than at present appeared
As for Hans Kuntz Mr.. Johnston said thai
it was quite apparent that he had been
led into the thing by others and was not
a leading spirit Therefore he would plead
lenieuCy for him. As for the Deckers. the
judge wCuid have 10 use mis- own discrc-
ton. There Was 10 doubt they were the
real culpriJs Of the four. and this class OF
crime had 10 be stamped out
Judge Finkle did as requested in Nurn-
bcrger's case and sentenced Anthony Deck
er and Paul Decker TO five years each in
Kingston penitentiary and Hans Kuntz 70
hfteen months in the Central prison at To-
rOnto.
