NOT IMAGINARY.
A Common Disease, Which is by No
r1eans the Result of Imagination.


Undoubtedly many nervous people
suffer from troubles purely imaginary !;
diseases which exist only in the mind
of the patient, and such troubles furnish
fertile field for the quack as well as
for faith healers and Christian Science
treatment
However, there is one common and
annoying disease which is IN no sense Of
the word imaginary and that is, Piles.
Pile sufferers do not need a physician
to tell them what is the matter; there is
no obscurity about it. Neither viii a
simple lotion or ointment cure it. You
cannot deceive a pile sufferer into be-
lieving he is being cured, because the
pain and itching from which he suffers
is not imaginary and cannot be cured
by imagination. pile remedy must
have unnistakable merit, 1t must relieve
the pain and cure the disease speedily
or it will be condemned.
Mr. w. n. Dunn of 5719 Shields Ave.
Chicago, writes: I am indebted to the
Pyramid Pile Cure q thousand times for
a severe case of piles. I was cured per-
fectly with one so cent box and more
than that I still have three of the Pyr-
amids left Of the box I did not need to
use.
I think the Pyramid Pile Cure is the
grandest thing of the age and I shall
certainly recommend it to all sufferers.
The manufacturers Of the Pyramid
Pile Cure are at perfect liberty to refer
any person to me and will gladly an
swer any correspondence. I am so CRATE
full for my cure that I want all pile suf-
ferers to find the same relief"
All druggists sell the pyramid Pile
Cure at so cents per box and as it con-
tains no cocaine, opiate or any poison
whatever is entirely safe and reliable.
