A REASON FOR IT,
Reached Il National Popularity
and Reputation.

There are many popular medicines that
are known in every household in
America.
There are headquarters, nerve tonics,
headache remedies, dyspepsia cures, and
cough cures, which are sold in every.
drug store in the nation and beyond.
But all these must divide their popu-
larity with many rivals; no one remedy
has the field TO itself with the single
exception of pile cures; for it is a singu-
lar fact that there is but one pile cure
that can be considered as having a
national reputation. with a rival, and
that referred to is the Pyramid Pile Cure,
which for seven years has steadily
worked into the public favor by reason
of its extraordinary merit until it is
known from Maine to California. and
from Manitoba to the Gulf.
1t is true there are many pile remedies
having a small local reputation for a
wear or two, but the Pyramid Pile Cure
has rapidly supplanted them all, and
really has the field to itself when
anything like national popularity is
considered
The explanation is simple. 1t is
because plies is in no sense an imaginary
trouble that bread pill or a simple
salve or ointment will cure; but an
obstinate. painful and often dangerous
trouble. and a remedy, to give satisfac-
ton, must possess positive and very
apparent merit. A person suffering from
piles will not experiment for months with
a remedy; it must give instant relief
and cure in short order, or it is
condemned.
The worst cases of piles are relieved
on the first application of the Pyramid,
and a cure will result in a reasona BILE
time from its regular use.
Medicine men use it in preference to.
operations, because il is safer, is perfectly
painless and the cost to the patient is
a mere trife, as all druggists sell the
Pyramid Pile Cure at Soc, and. as it is
used at night, ii cures without interfering
with regular occupation.
