PROMPT ACTION.

Thoroughly Cures Every Form of Piles
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been
pleasant surprise to thousands of suf-
ferers, because of the instant relief it
gives and the prompt cure which follows
its regular use, and this is done without
the use of opiates, cocaine, narcotics or
poisons of any kind, as careful analysis
shows the Pyramid Pile Cure to be Who'll
Nv free from any injurious drug whatever.
Hundreds of people who had almost decid
ed to undergo an operation, believing moth
ing else would cure them have been aston
ished to find that fifty cent box of the
Pyramid was far safer, better and more
effective than an operation could possibly
be.
The Pyramid Pile Cure allays the in
fammation and intolerable itching, re-
duces the tumors, and by it's astringent
properties causes the enlarged blood yes
sells to contract to a healthy condition.
A gentleman living in Cleveland relates
his experience by saying: ut affords me
unusual pleasure to add my endorsement
to what ! consider a really wonderful
pile cure.
l was a sufferer from piles for years
until a brother salesman told me about
the Pyramid Pile Cure. 1t has entirely
cured me and I cheerfully recommend it.
Mrs y. Z. Reed, of Albany, says: Il
would not take $500 and be placed back
where / was before l used the Pyramid
Pile Cure; l suffered for years and it is
now eighteen months since l used it and
not the slightest trace of the trouble has
returned
Mrs HinF1cv of indianapolis, was tnl"
by her physician that nothing but sur
gical operation, costing between seven
and eight hundred dollars, could cure her
as she had suffered fifteen years. yet
even in such a case the Pyramid Pile
Cure accomplished a complete cure; she
says: Il knew an operation would be
death to me and tried the Pyramid with
very little hope, so it is not to be won
dered at that l am so enthusiastic in its
praise.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at fifty cents for complete treat
ment and as it contains no opiate or other
poisonous drugs may be used with entire
safety.
No one need suffer from piles in any
form, who will give this excellent prepar-
alton a trial
