GIVES SATISFACTION.
A Certain Cure for Piles.

The PYRAMID Pile Cure is success be-
ica,,se it has the merit which brings sue
cess. It cures every form of piles, and
cures them to stay cured. 1t is now the
most popular and best known pile remedy
before the public. and one reason for its
great popularity is because it has taken
the place of surgical operations, once con-
sidered the only sure cure.
People often wonder that so simple a
remedy will so promptly cure such an
obstinate trouble as piles are well known
to be- Yet the greatest remedies and
greatest inventions we have are the sim
plest, and the fact that it does cure is
all the sufferer from piles wants to know.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures piles in
any stage of the disease, as shown by
the following testimonial letters, which
are published every week and new cases
reported each slime:
From Geo. G. Geicll, Owens aiill, No.:

The proprietors of this remedy could
publish columns Of similar letters to the
above .e necessary, bnt these are enough
to show what it will do in different cases.
