A RELIABLE PILE CURE.

The Pyramid Pile Cure is the safest and
surest pile cure on the market, because il
contains no mineral poisons nor opium
nor cocaine but can be used with abso-
lutte safety and certainty of cure.
Many physicians are now using the Py-
ramid Pile Cure in place of surgical opera
tons, being painless, convenient to use,
and the patient can attend to his daily
occupation while the cure is being made.
as it is used at night, and no additional
treatment is necessary.
DR. Wharton says the Pyramid Pile Cure
will prove blessing TO mankind, when it
is remembered that heretofore n surgical
operation was considered the only cure
with all its danger to life, intense pain
and an expense of from ten to one hun
dred dollars, to say nothing of the posi-
BILE return of the trouble. The Pyramid
Pile Cure is sold by druggists at so cents
and sl.0O and does the work quickly and
safely.
A book on cause and cure of piles Will
be mailed free by addressing Pyramid Co.,
